Fire fox will not start, no messages unless I try to get to profile mgr I've tried all posted fixes

Using windows vista. Had a bad virus but seems to have gone away with a system restore. Firefox will not start at all. I got this message on trying profile mgr:BuildID: 20110303024726
CrashTime: 1301283615

Checked task mgr and firefox was not running. shut down and tried again. Unchecked the "read only" at user profile, again shut down to try again. I was not able to do any other fixes (start in safe mode, disable extensions) as I got no response. Internet explorer is able to start and access the web.

sorry, i was hoping my long Q from before was still retrievable. Using Vista and Mozilla
Version: 3.6.15, I had a virus yesterday. I used system restore which seemed to cure it but then Firefox no longer responds. It is not running in bkgnd, I uncked the read only inthe user profile, as suggested. Typically no error message except when I tried to access profile mgr, then I got:BuildID: 20110303024726

Fire fox will not start

firefox and all other browsers were working fine... then all of a sudden... all of them stopped ... none of them open when i click on them. google does not load any pages... ie will not open, nor firefox.. Please help... i have tried all the solutions given and nothing helps... sometimes firefox opens, like now and sometimes not..

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Fire fox will not open on my laptop. When I checked my profile, I have two defalt profiles. Help.

Laptop Vista OS. Firefox opens about 10% of the time. Firefox is now opened in safe mode on the laptop. I started to troubleshoot by locating my profile. I found two default profiles. One named "8wc96kd.default-1350623840166" dated 10/18/2012. The other named "negyzq3j.default" dated 1/12/2008, This one has many more folders & files, . Neither one matched the profile on my Desktop XP computer. Thunderbird works well. At 77 years old I don't know what to do now.
Thank you,
Jim

for managing profiles have a look at: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
Any ideas. ??

Hello kskip,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive. You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

My computer will not start up. It powers up I get the gray screen with the apple and get the loading progress bar it loads to 25% and the screen goes black

Fire Fox WILL NOT LOAD Gmail, even after folling ALL the steps in HELP, but it loaded it yesterday and NOTHING has been changed!

I was using Fire Fox and I got the message "Fire Fox is not Responding". I tried waiting for it but after 20 minutes I closed it down. When I opened it up again and tried to use my Gmail bookmark but all I get is a message telling me that "The page isn't redirecting properly! Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." This makes "No Sense at All" because I have used this bookmark Hundreds of times! I have tried to call up Google and try to go to Gmail from there but get Exactly the Same Message! I can go to Facebook using my bookmark but none of the games will load! I can get to Gmail using IE9, but when I try to go to Facebook it starts loading but NEVER Finishes! I just had to "restore my computer to factory Specs" a couple weeks ago but have used it without problem until 09/23/2012. Over the past 6 months I have Gotten the "Fire Fox is not Responding" Error HUNDREDS of times and cannot figure out why you would release a product that is NOT COMPATIBLE with ANYTHING on Earth! Please Fix Fire Fox before you lose ALL your Customers!

Adoby Acrobat 7.0 opens some times when I close firefox or fire fox will not shut down.

I have recently updated to firefox 4.0.1 and things are running slower and I have noticed that fire fox does not want to shutdown when I close it. Also every so often when I close fire fox my adobe acrobat professional will open randomly.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Fire fox will not open ive uninstall/reinstalled/new user and no page will come up

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 Firefox, 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.

Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.

Xul runner platform version is not compatible and fire fox will not open - this is after upgrading to v 5

After trying to updat from 4.0 RC2 to 5.0.1 Error message appears
error: Platform version '2.0.1' is not compatible with min version >=5.0 <=5.0.
Have uninstalled and tried to re install earlier version but now get same error message but now get is not compatible with version >=2.0 <=2.0
currently not able to run or load fire fox at all

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#XULRunner_error_after_an_update
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
