First try to reset Firefox printer settings, if you are still unable to print you can then reset '''all '''firefox printer settings.
You mentioned there is no print.print_printer when you go to about:config. You have to type it in the actual '''filter '''field to pull it up.
Reset firefox printer settings:
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
2. In the '''Filter''' field, type '''print.print_printer.'''
3. '''Right-click''' on the print.print_printer setting and select '''Reset.'''
4. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click Exit.
'''The first way was just simple reset of firefox printer settings. However, if it failed to solve the problem then you need a full reset of all firefox printer settings.
1. Open your profile folder:
''At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu (on Windows XP, click on the Help menu) and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.''
2. Under the Application Basics section, click on Open Containing Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
''Note: If you are unable to open or use Fire​fox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
3. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click Exit.
4. In your profile folder, copy the prefs.js file to another folder to make a backup of it.
5. Open the original prefs.js file in a text editor (such as Wordpad).
6. Remove all lines in prefs.js that start with print. and save the file.

  • ITunes will not open or uninstall/ reinstall

    Every time I try to open iTunes (version 7.3 I think) a message pops up that says "This action is only valid to products that are already installed"
    And when I try to unistall it/ reinstall it a thing pop's up saying "iTunes setup can not locate iTunes.msi" or something like that.
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

    It sounds as though you have a problem with your installer files and need to use the Miscrosoft Installer cleanup utility:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

    gj,
    Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

    Some how I solved my problem by opening a user account and downloading Firefox 4.0 beta and installing it, I did try it, worked fine, so I did close the user account and did go back to my own account(switched user), the main page that I had problem with Firefox which would not open, I dabble click on Firefox it start working again!! I hope that solves your problem too.

  • Itunes will not open/ cannot uninstall quicktime

    Since restoring my PC following installation of replacement harddrive, I cannot get into itunes. It says itunes has encountered problem and needs to close. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it will not let me uninstall Quicktunes. I get a DLL function call crashed error. Can anyone help? Thanks/

    Emma,
    I was able to get my iTunes working again - I can't remember the exact order of my steps as I was at my wits end, but I did have luck when I followed the Windows Troubleshooting tips for "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    I believe that I did the following steps:
    -I installed the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility then opened it via Start/All Programs/Windows Install Cleanup. (see more detailed instructions in the article referenced above.)
    - I selected iTunes from the list and clicked Remove
    - I also selected QuickTime from the list and clicked Remove.
    - I restarted my PC after exiting Windows Installer Cleanup
    - I checked for QuickTime and iTunes in my Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and removed them if they existed
    - I may have restarted my PC again at this point
    - I then downloaded standalone versions of QuickTime (I did this before iTunes) and iTunes. I found the links to the standalone versions of these applications on the same document with the Clean up iTunes Installer files instructions.
    - I did another re-start of my PC
    After doing this, my iTunes miraculously worked again and all of my song files were intact from the restore that I did after clearing my hard drive.
    I urge you to try this at your own risk... it worked for me, but I'm not an expert. Maybe someone else will see this and can confirm that this is a good fix for you too. I'm sure if you're as frustrated as I was, you are willing to try almost anything!
    Good luck!

  • Firefox will not open, try to reinstall and message states firefox must be closed before install can begin.

    firefox will not open. when i try to reinstall firefox the process stops. the message tells me to close firefox before i can proceed. but firefox is not running.

    Prez,
    I too have had this problem a few times with several different versions of FF.
    What you need to do is to open a window to Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and on the 'Processes' tab look down the list for Firefox, highlight the entry, then click "End Process". Accept the warning that pops up. You should then be able to uninstall.

  • Updated to iTunes 11 now it will not open or uninstall- Windows 8 64bit

    Updated to iTunes 11 using the "check for updates" tab on iTunes. I installed and realized it will not open. Turns out it installed the 32bit version (I did not have any option to choose between 32bit and 64bit). Nothing was going right so I attemped to unistall it using the controll panel and going to unistall programs. It in a way uninstalled, there is no iTunes folder on my hard drive or anything so I am guessing it did uninstall? Anyways, I attemted to download and install iTunes 11 (The actually 64bit) again but here is what happens: It will download everything but it will not open to install. Help?

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

  • FCP 7 will NOT open with my brand new Retina MacBook Pro, any ideas?

    I got my brand new retina-display macbook pro in the mail today. I installed Final Cut Studio 3, with dmg file I made from original disk, right serial numbers etc. Upgraded to 7.0.3 through the software update.
    Final Cut opened once (which was fine) and I realized I had to install magic bullet looks to keep working on a project I had been working on.
    After I did so FCP would not open. Thinking this was the problem, I completely uninstalled all plugins using Red Giants official uninstall app. I also deleted the Boris continuum plugins lots of people say is a problem in Mountain Lion with FCP startup issues.
    I then used FCS remover to completely remove the entire suite and restarted, emptied the trash etc for a clean slate.
    Upon reinstalling, Final Cut will not open. The startup screen shows up, goes through profiling for RT extreme etc and then closes and the icon disappears from the dock. Everything else opens, motion, compressor, dvd studio pro. Everything is fine except for Final Cut. I have trashed preferences and reinstalled numberous times and triple checked there are no rogue plugins lying around. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried is restoring the machine to factory settings and starting from scratch.
    This is incredibly frustrating, does anyone have any insight?
    Thanks.

    Thanks David. I wiped the machine and rinstalled Lion and started from scratch again which was a bummer but worked. I feel like the earlier plugins I installed had something to do with it.

  • Firefox will not open tabs in a new window

    When I right click a tab, and select the option "Open in a new window", Firefox does not respond.
    I can add as many tabs as I like, but can not open them in a new window.
    I can also right click a link and open it in a new tab, but Firefox does not do anything when I try to open the link in a new window.
    I reinstalled Firefox on my computer, and also updated Java and it did not solve the problem.
    This started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason.

    First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile].

  • When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

    When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Simply stated, firefox no longer works for my husband. Firefox will not open when my husband is user.

    As a user, firefox will open for me. As a user, firefox will not open for my husband. Yesterday McAfee had to remotely turn the McAfee firewall back on. I don't know if during this process it somehow affected firefox.

    Hi DoesFirefoxRespond,
    Thank you for your questions. I understand that there is an issue with accessing some bank sites. If you have already disabled Firefox add ons and have still experienced the same issue, please try the following:
    # Open a Private Window and login to the bank site to see if it causes the same issue. It will not use active logins or previous history.

    Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.
