Firefox 32 will not start after a download.

On windows XP sp3. Chrome and Iexplorer 8 will run. Firefox used to run. Can not run firefox.exe -p either.

Can you start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://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 folder 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 folder 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 NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Firefox will not start after I downloaded the newest version

Firefox 4 will not start after upgrade to OS X 10.6.7 (from 10.6.6)

Was running FF 4.0RC1 successfully on OS X 10.6.6. Upgraded to 10.6.7 and FF would not start; had to force quit. Upgraded to FF 4.0RC2 and then 4.0; same thing is occurring. Reverted to FF 3.6 and it works fine under 10.6.7. Installed full upgrade of 10.6.7 to try to fix this; same problem: 4.0 will not start. Tried trashing Firefox application and restoring anew; same problem.

Since your other Mac running 10.5.8 is not affected, you know that your AirPort router is functioning correctly.
What changed on your Mac? This seems like a post for either the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard support area, or the support area for your model of Mac.
We normally handle questions about the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule in this area, but you can certainly wait to see if you receive a response here.

Firefox 4 download will not start after the download is complete. It just doesn't run (Windows Vista), and can't be found in the program list. Solutions?

I have tried to open it both as the original user and as administrator. Nothing happens after I indicate that it should open

I was able to work the problem out by logging in as administrator. When the download was finished and extracted, a choice was offered to save rather than run. So I saved it on the desktop, and then right clicked on the icon, and selected "run as administrator". It then ran and installed with no problem.

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was released

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Just rented a movie in French on my iMac... movie will not start after download ?
What I do now ?

Okay. I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

FP Install Will Not Start after DLM Install

The FP installation will not start after an apparent DLM installation. The DLM appears to install and the control panel shows it is present, but the FP installation will not start. There are no other messages that appear. A restart and reinstallation attempt installs the DLM again, but still no FP install. Using XP SP3 and IE 8.0.
Thx

Hi mont1228,
The Adobe Download Manager (DLM) executes the Flash installer in "silent mode" so you shouldn't see a dialog box. To confirm that Flash was installed successfully, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and let me know if the animation doesn't appear.
Best regards,

IPod service manager will not start after installing iTunes 10

iPod service manger will not start after loading iTunes 10. iPhone will not connect. I've removed reinstalled, wiped the registry reinstalled and deauthorized, removed and reinstalled from several different downloads. I have full permissions fo rservices and am administrator.. We now have three other units in teh office with the same issue.
now what do I do?

Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError P1 : c000009c P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal from SP 14 to SP 15.
It gives me the following J2EE error:
Application error occurred during request processing.

Hi ,
as a first question: What versions of WAS / NWDS are you using?! (Main question is if you are using corresponding versions, i.e. NWDS 2.0.x with WAS 6.40 SP x, with the same value for x.)

Firefox will not start after upgrade from 3.0.1

I have Firefox 3.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 3.6, but if I try to upgrade to any version, I cannot open Firefox. It is not like the other "Will not start" problems, because in the Task Manager, firefox.exe pops up, then goes away instantly. I have tried using Safe Mode, doing a clean install by uninstalling Firefox and my profile, cleaning the registry, then using CCleaner, then trying to reinstall, but the problem persists. Sometimes firefox.exe doesn't even show up in the Task Manager. I also cannot use any version of IE(even if I wanted to), Safari or Chrome. They all have the same results. I suspect that it is not a problem with Firefox, but with my computer, but I don't what is wrong. Can anyone help me?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded from 3.0.1

Sounds like something is killing off your browsers before they can start. I really have no idea why Firefox 3.0.1 is working somehow, though.
Do a malware check with a few different programs, you need to use all, because not all programs detect the same malware.
For each of these, make sure they are updated after installing, and run a full scan.

Firefox will not start after I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04.

I was using Firefox without issue on Ubuntu 8.04. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Firefox would not start after upgrade. Message said it was already running!
I checked the System Monitor and saw it was "sleeping". I ended process. Firefox then would start, however..... I always have to go into System Monitor before I start Firefox to stop it from running (sleeping) even if I already just quit the program or after a fresh reboot.
I do not use a firewall or virus program.
My router has some sort of firewall hardware, and it is the same router I used with 8.04 with no problem.
What is going on? Why is the program sleeping when I try to start it. Why do I always get the message that it is already running (and I have to shut it down) before I can start it.
It is either a Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem.
Sonny.

''Crashes at startup can occur in Firefox 7 or above (but not Firefox 6 or earlier) if you are using a corporate login system such as IBM Tivoli Access Manager or Oracle Enterprise Single Sign On Manager ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680927 bug 680927]). '''See the bug report for a suggested workaround''' or downgrade to Firefox 3.6.xx (available [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html here]) which is still being maintained.''
Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Crash_when_starting_Firefox
The workaround for the crash is linked [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=563484 HERE], under "Attachments" in the bug report. When you click that link it will show the contents of the .reg file (you can save the page as "ff7fix.reg" on your computer, and then merge it into the Windows registry, f you are comfortable doing that).

Firefox will not start after updating to version 7.0

Mozilla Firefox automatically updated itself to 7.0. Now, Mozilla will not start on my computer. It shows that it is running in task menu- processes... but not in Applications.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
