Firefox 24 and 25 won't run on server identities?

I downloaded the last update, 24, which worked fine on local identities. When I try to open it in a server/network identity, it never opens, just hangs - I tried opening in safe mode (opt key + open, choose safe mode) and it acts like it will open, but never loads, and I can't click any buttons on the toolbar (or I can click one, but nothing ever loads). Resetting doesn't work either. It does the same thing on all computers, only server identities.
I've tried creating a new profile, deleting old profiles, changing places suffixes to ".old", deleting prefs file - nothing worked. Firefox never opens, so I can't do any of the support related to the toolbar.
I think it's related to an add-on, because it first crashed when trying to find compatibility with add-ons. It won't run in safe mode, though, so I can't tell.
My next step is going to be trying to find where all the add-ons are located, and delete them manually, but I'm not sure where to start.
If anyone has any other advice, that would be great!

Hi,
Thanks, but it didn't work~~
I tried to delete the extensions from the folder first, but when I tried to open firefox, it had the same problem.
I actually removed both the Mozilla folder and the Firefox folder as a last resort, and it's still not working.
The window pops up, with the "bookmarks and history system will not be functional... Some security software can cause this problem" error message. The "Learn More" button is not clickable.
I've disabled all security software and even my firewall, and it's still happening. My extensions/addons are deleted.

  • Just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't start but it says it's running.

    I just recently upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't work. I was enjoying the lastest update on firefox 3 and it was working fine, but when i upgraded to 4, the problems started. Every time i click on the icon, the mouse turns into the loading wheel for a few seconds and then goes back, but firefox doesn't load up. Nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer, but that does nothing. I then tried uninstalling it, but it says firefox is still running so it can't uninstall. Even after restarting my computer, it still says it's running. I have tried everything, but it just won't start, and I can't do anything because it claims to still be running.

    I just had a similar problem and it reminded me of trying to install a logitech wireless mouse a while back. Nothing I could do to make it recognize the driver... until I ran across a website that told me that antivirus and firewalls might prevent it. So... AVG Free just updated itself earlier today... FF4 would only startup once after reboot, then start and show in task mgr but no window(s)... Uninstalled AVG new version. FF4 starts up every time. Reinstalled older version of AVG Free and now everything seems to be OK again. Hope this helps!

    Upgrade to Leopard.  Better yet, Snow Leopard if your Mac is an Intel model (you don't say much about the computer which makes this hard to make suggestions).

  • Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo.

    Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo. Eclipse Classic used to work fine for awhile. I haven't used it for a month or two and tried to boot it, Eclipse won't run past boot logo. It looks like JDK is not even there anymore. JDK won't install successfully. I have Mac OS X 10.8.3.
    I tried removing Java, re-download JDK multiple times.. same results.

    Paul Adare is correct in saying that you cannot "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit. You can, however, backup your files and reload them onto your PC.
    Given that you are able to boot Windows 7 after the failure to install Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is apparent that you are not formatting the drive during your clean installation. There are a number of potential issues an existing configuration can
    cause, such as preventing Windows Setup from registering boot files, modifying partitions, or moving an existing installation and data to the windows.old folder. I would recommend removing the partitions from your drive (note: this will erase any data remaining
    on the hard disk) during installation to ensure that Windows Setup has a fresh hard drive to install to. If you continue to experience errors, two other factors to take into consideration are:
    Does your system use a storage controller that requires loading a driver during Windows Setup?
    Is the hardware malfunctioning? Do the hard disk and memory pass testing software like Windows Memory Diagnostic or chkdsk?

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and it won't open unless I open Thunderbird first.

    Thank you.  I noticed that the file on my computer was not as large as it was supposed to be, so I downloaded it first thing this morning and was able to open and install it.  Thanks for the help to all.

  • I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    Copied from a page that helped me:
    I followed someone else's advice and found all the silverlight files in "INVISIBLE FILES".
    In the Finder, choose File > Find or press Command (⌘)-F.
    From the far-left pop-up menu (labeled “Kind”), choose Other.
    In the list of search attributes, select the “File invisible” checkbox, and then click OK.
    In the related menu, choose Invisible Items.
    once loaded go to folder Private
    then to folder VAR
    then folder db
    then folder Receipts
    scroll to any com.microsoft.silverlight item and delete. there are a bunch of them.
    close, restart and install silverlight.

  • Installed Firefox 20 update, but won't run and keeps telling me have to restart computer, which I've done 5 times.

    Downloaded and installed Firefox 20, but it won't start up. Window pops up saying "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have rebooted several times, to no avail.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I have tried downloading firefox but the icon now has a 'no entry' sign over the firefox icon and it won't open. whats wrong!!!

    I have been using firefox and was recently prompted to upgrade to a new firefox. I followed the instructions and dragged the icon into my apps folder. It had a 'no entry' sign on top of it which I didn't really understand. Now it won't start up and gives me a message saying 'You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture'.
    Can you help?

  • Where can I get a download for an earlier version of firefox the new version won't run on my computer

    I downloaded version 4 and replaced the old files. The new version won;t run because my Mac dose not have an Intell prossesor. I uninstalled the new version and I cant find the old version to download.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Why did you quit supporting Mac OSX 10.4 ? I downloaded you update and it won't run.

    I accepted your last online upgrade request and it worked for basic browsing, but the Comcast mail page stopped working correctly (the buttons: Save as Draft, Delete, Add attachment, etc. are inactive).
    Thinking it was corrupted, I deleted the current version on my machine and installed the latest download and it tells me it won't run on this version of Mac OS.

    Firefox 3.6.23 is still supported secure and will work with OSX 10.4
    * see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
    * download from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html
    Note do NOT use any options that say delete user settings, you will loose all profile information for all normally installed versions of firefox, so that is pass words and bookmarks etc disappear.
    You mention Comcast
    Note IDvault sometimes provided by Comcast has been associated with Firefox crashes (bug 684748) consider
    * ensuring you have the latest version of that software if you use it <br/> (the problem may be solved in the latest versions)
    * disabling or uninstalling the software if it is a problem

  • The update didn't update; I downloaded the whole instead as instructed and it won't run. Now what?

    I am looking for advice: I wanted to update firefox - the updates (it described itself as 'security') failed. I looked on this website for advice. It said to download the whole version. I did this and the file won't run. I cannot update the browser or load on a new version.
    This is raising red flags in my brain (wrongly or rightly). I know of all sorts of things I could try but having had security issues recently, I would appreciate guidance / wisdom on the matter. I may be paranoid but it looks like there is something wrong.
    The old version of my browser is running ok for now.
    Please help.

    Try this:
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
    If you keep having problems then disable your anti-virus temporarily.

  • I paid for limbo and it won't run. Can I get a refund?

    Didn't realize limbo won't run on my 2008 macbook.
    It's still a speedy machine, I don't understand why it's not supported.
    Anyway, I've spent the money now, can I get a refund do you think?
    Thanks,

    Sorry Jesee, but Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE -TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • ITunes updated to 7.6 and now won't run....

    it said that the older version of iTunes could not be removed and now won't let me open the one that's on my computer.
    it says that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.".
    i tried reinstalling it from the site and it says the same thing, it couldn't remove the older version.
    Message was edited by: tator-tot

    I did a system restore under the accessiblity option under accesories in the start menu.
    It took a very long time but it at least let me get my itunes back with no errors.
    I'm not sure what the problem was but now it's working so i'm not complaining.
    I'm not updating to 7.6 until I absolutelly have to. Hopefully, they will work out all the kinks before I have to update to it.
