Firefox 4.01 has never started in my iMac with OS10.6.7, why?

About six times I have downloaded Firefox 4, each time I have tried to use it it has crashed on opening . I have never even seen the home page

That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Foofle Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the previous Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

Why? Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

Live with the phone as is.
Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.

Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion a gray bar sometimes appears when loading software?

Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS? It does this on occasion. One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors. Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this. As I say, its only on occasion, not every time. I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
Please advise, if possible.

You should see this 4 option menu. Click on Disk Utility:
In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.
Ciao.

When starting up my iMac with Option Key held down, my recovery partition shows 10.9 instead of 10.10. How do I install the correct recovery partition?

When I start up my iMac with option key held down, the recovery partition is shown as 10.9 instead of 10.10 which is the installed version.
How do I install the proper recovery partition?

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I figured it would something that simple. Like I said, I only know enough to cause trouble. LOL
Thanks again, Guess I need to find a new game to play. LOL

Firefox tends to freeze at random and to fix I must use ctrl+alt+del. From there I can restore my previous session when I reopen firefox. This has never been an issue before Firefox 6

Firefox is giving me issues to where it crashes at supposedly random times. It has frozen up when merely left on but more than often tends to freeze when opening a new page. I have 4GB RAM, 3.00GHz Duel Core processor, 8800 GTX Nvidia GPU. This issue has never been so prominent until the Firefox 6 update.

Go to''' Tools'''
then '''Options'''
In privacy choose '''Remember History'''
Then go to
''General Tab''
At the start up drop down menu when firefox starts select
'''show my windows and tabs from last time'''
That should fix things

Once firefox 4 beta has been downloaded into my iMac, I couldn't open it, and worst, now I cannot even open neither the old firefox browser nor the new one, none!

I do have an iMac with a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. Never have any problem before with Firefox browser. Now, I was willing to update the browser to the 4 Beta version. Good. Little did I know that once I finished with the whole downloading process, I was about to get caught into such a mess.
Bottom Line: How can I go back to my ORIGINAL Firefox browser without reading the spineless pop up window telling me yet again 'you cannot use this version of "Firefox" with this OS'. I am not a magician, I'm a regular man trying to stay current with the new versions. Had I known this mess beforehand I would have never bother to even tried the 'new 4 Beta', guys.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

New computer, windows 7 64bit, installed 18.0 but it has never started....it keeps crashing. Help....

I have never been able to start it on this computer, it crashes everytime. I do have crash reports but I don't know what to do with them,

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

The news (stories) I want to read on my home (sympatico.ca) page will not open. It appears to be a Firefox problem that has just started as they open using EXPLORER.

I click on a story which has become underlined but nothing happens.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage: "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
right-click a page on the site, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Remove all cookies on servers ending with sympatico.ca
Then try reloading the page. If you need to log in to read stories, you probably will have to log in again after removing their cookies.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 has never started up... error message every time. Help please?

Hi...
I recently bought the Production Premium CS5.5 suite.
Most of the programs work. (I haven't tried ALL of them. But the main ones -- Photoshop CS5.1 and After Effects -- work flawlessly.)
But Premiere Pro CS5.5.0 doesn't open. Keeps giving me the good old error message: 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 has stopped working'. This is happening every time I try to open it. And it never gets past the opening screen. This is MIGHTY frustrating. And there seems to be no coherent advice on the matter anywhere on the Adobe Forums. Might just be that I haven't spotted it.

Has it ever worked? If so, what's changed? (provide comments in description field): No

One problem appears to be that your T901 does not meet the minimum specification for Premiere CS5 - according to the Fujitsu specification sheet, its screen resolution is too low at 1280 x 800 - the minimum required is 1280 x 900.

Firefox is asking me what program I want to use to open firefox. It has never done this before.

Several days ago an XP internet Security 2012 invaded my computer. It would not let me do anything except sign up for a $60 program. It did allow me to send a message to its support stall. But of course I could not get to my email to read their answer. Yesterday I went to safe mode Firefox and that allowed me to get to my email. The message from XP internet security apologized and suggested that I set the date on my computer 6 days ahead and that would remove their program. So I did and their program is gone. But now whenever I want to use firefox it asks me what program I want to use, I select Firefox and the site opens. Also I can not change to date back to normal. When I go to the control panel and click on date and time, it says application not found and does the same thing for most everything else in the control panel.

Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 has never started

Hi !
Today after the closing of a pdf document with Acrobat Reader X, I received an offer to install Acrobat Reader XI.
The installation didn't report any problem. When i click on the freshly installed icon, I see a window for about 1 second.
It always disapears. Same issue if i click a .pdf document.
It doesn't seem to be a crash because there is no trace inside Window's events observer.
I did both a repair, an a full re-installation. In all cases i allways have the same issue describe above.
My system is Windows 7 SP1
Any idea ?

It looks like is a memory corruption

Is there a way to sync Firefox on my new top of the line imac with my older imac that can only use Firefox 2.0?

My old imac has System 10.3.9, and I am not able to add sync to my Firefox 2.0 browser. My new imac has Snow Leopard. Is there any way to move my Firefox bookmarks, passwords, etc., from my old computer to my new computer?

Firefox 2 versions used bookmarks.html format to store bookmarks, you can '''import''' that type of bookmarks file format into all later versions of Firefox. 
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file
The correct version of the Password Exporter extension can be installed in the old Firefox 2 version, to export you password data. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/#version-1.2
Then install the correct version of that extension in the newer version, so you can restore your passwords into the newer version. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

Why can't I open pdfs in Firefox any more? I'm using a Mac with OS10.5

When I open a pdf, I just get a blank window

Hey Musedoc,
Have you looked at the article [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is some troubleshooting content in there as well. You might want to look at the section on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Opening%20PDF%20files%20within%20Firefox?s=opening+PDF&r=0&as=s#w_re-initialize-the-plugins-database reinitializing the plugins database].
Hopefully this helps!
