Firefox 3.6.10 died it will not launch after clicking the icon nor does it launch in safe mode, unknown causes W XP.
(Laptop runing W XP SP3.) Firefox 3.6.10 died, I mean totally dead. It does not launch from any of the icons in the desktop or the quick launch bar, nor does it launch in safe mode either. I uninstalled it and tried with 4 older versions of Firefox to no avail. I defragmented the disk, I ran a full antivirus scan, also ran chkdsk but the issue persists. Looked all over the internet and Mozilla KB but found no answer, nothing that worked for me.
Going crazy because I like my Firefox browser and I can´t believe I will have to use another browser which is not as fast and which I am not used to. Please help me find a solution, I like my Firefox Browser.
The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
iTunes 7.0.2 FIX ("Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening").
1. Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime.
2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install QuickTime FIRST.

Firefox will not start in normal (hour glass for a second) or in safe mode (closes after choice box).
I tried all of the following with no success:
- uninstalling and reinstalling mozilla with no success.
- End all firefox.exe from the task manager and then open again the firefox from quick launch or desktop or program files folder.
- Change the firefox.exe name to firefox2.exe
- Start in safe mode and choose several alternatives after choice box, but nothing happen.
Please help.What is your computer system, and what Firefox are you using?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

My computer will not let me click the box in iTunes where it says "sync only checked music and videos." So i cant unsync songs that i don't want on my iPod but still want in my iTunes. HELP?!
These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -

Both my iPod and my MacBookPro connect with my home Wi-Fi but my iPad will not even after entering the passcode. I have tried Full shutdown and tried other Wi-Fi's for which I had the correct passcode. My iPad would not connect. Any suggestions?
Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts? -

It won't load when I double click the icon on my desktop or when I try to open it from the space bar. When I do these things nothing happens. The only way I can get on the web is with Internet Explorer.
Delete the shortcut on your desktop and then go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
In there, right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose ''Send To'' | ''Desktop (create shortcut)'' to create a new one.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit. -

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time
Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

Problem started yesterday (9/28). While in Firefox, bookmarks stopped working. Closed out FF and tried to reopen the program, and nothing causes FF to launch. Tried double clicking on the desktop icon, single click on the bottom status bar (on XP), right click on icon to open or run, trying via Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla and neither regular or safe mode would launch. Only thing that seems to fix the problem is a full restart of the computer. Tried downloading the newest version via Chrome. When I clicked to run the install, kept getting a message to close all FF windows, even though there were no FF windows open.
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

After the PC boots up I click on the firefox icon in the start menu, the hour glass appears but then goes out and nothing happens. I have to re install firefox using safari (which opens) and took 4 hours.
Hello kkhelp, can you open firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=winxp&browser=fx24 safe mode] by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. ? (DON'T Reset firefox, select Start in Safe Mode).

I've been using Firefox for several years and just ran across a problem within the past two weeks. I usually have several tabs open at the same time while browsing the Internet. Suddenly, when I tried to open a new tab by clicking on the "+" tab at the top right of the screen, a new tab would not open. Then I tried clicking on "file + new tab" and a new tab still won't open. If I click on a link within an email, then a new tab will open, but I cannot choose to open a new tab. Please help! Thanks! :)

I have been using Mozilla firefox with Windows 7 and it was working fine till yesterday. But now its not responding when I am clicking on the icon. It is listed in all programs list as well as in firewalls exceptions. I want to make it start working but don't know how to. Any help in this regard is welcome.
Thanks in advance.Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 29: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
