Firefox 28 installs but will not start

Firefox auto updated 2 days ago to version 28 and ever since it has not worked. The download came with 12 viruses, which were found and secured. The problem is when I start firefox 28, nothing happens. When I try to uninstall firefox it says that I must stop firefox first. I then restart my laptop and then uninstall firefox. I have 3 times removed version 28 and installed version 26 (from the Mozilla site) and version 26 works fine until it updates to version 28. I am now posting this using IE. My OS is Windows 7, version 6.1

Hi Tom, thanks for the screen shot. Normally, when you download the Firefox installer, it has a file name like the following:
Firefox Setup 28.0.exe
So if you aren't getting that download from the official site, please check here first in the future: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
By the way, those cookies in the screen shot are in the Windows/IE cookies folder. Firefox doesn't use that folder for Firefox cookies, but plugins and add-ons might use it.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to default

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

    Hi, my Creative Cloud Photoshop latest version installs but will not launch. When I try it opens a page with a long error code report. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop several times with the same result. I downloaded and tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, as I found as a solution in the help forum, but since I uninstalled Photoshop before I ran the Cleaner Tool there are installed applications, and AdobeCreativeCloudDriver. Should I hit the clean all CS6 button at the bottom of the window. There is nothing including Photoshop in this list.
    --Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

    You will have to provide system info and the exact errors. Nobody can help based on vague "This doesn't work" posts.

    If you are trying to launch iWeb '09 with a domain file made in iWeb '08, drag the domain file out of Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb into a new folder and then try launching.

  • I tried to restart my iPad due to problems with a Pinterest app that took up a lot of storage in the cache...now the apple logo comes up but will not start...it has recently been charged

    I tried to restart my iPad due to problems with a Pinterest app that took up a lot of storage in the cache...now the apple logo comes up but will not start...it has recently been charged

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    Welcome to the forum!
    Let's try this: remove the battery, hard and media drives. Unplug the AC adapter. Press the "power" button 10 times in a row, holding it down for 10 seconds each time and 30 seconds the last time around.
    Plug the AC adapter back in and try to power on.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • My macbook pro will turn on but will not start up.

    My macbook pro ['08 Silver keys] will turn on but will not start up. Screen is black and keyboard is unresponsive, besides power button. Help!

    ugh, no chime is not good, as that means it is not getting past the firmware POST phase.  Is the sleep light blinking fast?
    One thing to try is to access the RAM slots, remove, then replace and reseat the RAM.

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run?  Any idea what the problem is?

    I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program.  It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins.  I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying.  Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Thanks,
    John

    Try booting in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting until the grey progress bar appears).
    If you're able to log-in, then re-boot and log-in

  • ITunes 7.6 installs but will not open

    I successfully installed iTunes 7.6 and when i go and double click on the iTunes icon on my desktop, the program will show up in Task Manager but will not show up on my desktop. I am running Media Center on this computer and wanted to know if any other computers running Media Center have encountered this problem? Any help would be nice =)

    The page covers BOTH hangs during startup and freezing while already running.
    The page contains a link to this article on startup problems.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305491
    One of the key steps is to determine if the problem is account specific or system wide, that takes you down two different paths.
    The other thing you can do is to check that QUicktime works as iTunes will not work with out it and also if iTunes.exe persists on the processes tab of the task manager when you try to start iTunes, even though iTunes does not actually start.
