Firefox 6 hangs without an error message/crash report when I try to run it.

I've been running a previous version of Firefox 3.x without incident and just tried upgrading to Firefox 6. I've had this same problem with trying to upgrade to Firefox 5 in the past. The installer runs fine and reports no problems. The first time I try to run Firefox after installing, I get a dialog box saying something along the lines of "Checking your add-ons for compatibility..." and the application IMMEDIATELY hangs. I have to kill the process from Windows Task Manager. Afterwards, trying to run Firefox simply results in no visible instance of anything running, although the process still hangs in the background taking up 25% CPU and ~10-20MB of memory. However, when I try opening a locally saved .html file, Firefox successfully runs and initially loads/displays the page, THEN hangs. I've closed as many background applications as possible and still get the same problem.

I've been having the problem with as few as two tabs opening. The only time it does not do it is in safe mode. I have cleared my history, turned on the plugins one at a time, and run virus check. With any plugins turned on, it hangs every couple of web pages opened.
When I clicked on post for the above answer, Firefox got hung up for 30 seconds.

  • WL510 startup hangs without any error messages.

    I have installed WebLogic 510 on a Sun Sparc with Solaris 5.7
    following WebLogic installation guide(which I have used to
    successfully install other similar machines). We are using
    JDK 1.2.2_06(with the three necessary OS patches installed).
    When I try to start WebLogic from command line(see below)
    using script, it just hangs and sits there without giving any
    error messages. Is there anything obvious that I have missed?

  • I get the error message "unresponsive script" when I try to open Firefox, and then I can only delete the message by going to Task Manager.

    After I downloaded the Firefox update, when I tried to open Firefox I got the error message: "Warning unresponsive script...etc". This happens every time and the choices in the message ("continue" etc) are unresponsive. Further I can't delete the error window without going to Task Manager to end the program. The problem also disabled Internet Explorer which will now simply not load. Google Chrome is working. I assume it relates to the update since the problems (for both Firefox and IE) occurred immediately after the download.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • The program cant start because msvcr800.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem....this is the error message I got when I tried to run the newest update to ITunes...any assistance is greatly appreciated  thanks

    Error message is listed in topic..appreciate any help
    thanks

    I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
    I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376   it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time!
    Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
    Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
    Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot again!
    Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
    Reboot!
    Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

  • Firefox was working fine, I closed it and later it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it will now open. I've followed all the directions and all I get is the crash reporter when I try to open firefox. It does not open at all. HELP

    I'm using XP sp3, fully patched with the current version of firefox 3. 6.12. I have 4 gb memory and a 250 gb hard drive. Most of which is all free, so I have lots of memory and hard drive space. I was using firefox and everything was working fine. I shut it down and when I went back later, it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed the user acct, followed all directions I could find and firefox will not open. I've run all kinds of scans on my computer for viruses or malware and found nothing. Everytime I try to open firefox, I get the crash reporter and it will not open at all. I would appreciate some help. I don't know what else to try. I use firefox as my default browser.

  • I have just "gone" digital with a new Nikon D610, but I get an error message (model unknown) when I try to open a file in PS.  What do I need to do?

    I've done an "update" with Adobe, but still get the error message about my model not being supported.  What do you advise?  Thanks.

    Since support for your camera was added in Camera Raw 8.3, there is no version of Camera Raw for your version of Photoshop that will enable you to open the NEF files from your camera. One alternative would be for you to download the DNG converter version 8.5, and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. They will still have the raw image data in them, but they will be in a format that your version of Camera Raw can work with. Another alternative would be for you to add Lightroom to your workflow. You would still be able to send copies of your NEF files to Photoshop when needed. The other alternative would be for you to join the creative cloud an upgrade to Photoshop CC. There is a package that includes Photoshop and Lightroom for the monthly subscription price of $9.99 in the US. I think Photoshop CS6 can still be purchased separately as a standalone product. And there is a version of Camera Raw for that version of Photoshop that will enable you to open your NEF files.
    While you are trying to decide which way you want to go, you might consider using the DNG converter as an interim solution. It's free, you'll still have your original NEF files, and you'll be able to start working with your raw image data today. Here is the link:

  • Perameter incorrect error message comes up when I try to get photo

    I was using the 3.2 free edition version. It was working WONDERFUL! It is the best program for me. But today, when I went to load my pictures I got this error message "the parameter is incorrect". To get photos I was using a sandisk card reader. I usually just plug the card into the reader and the adobe photoshop album starter 3.2 usually pops up on its own, then I just click get photos. It sooo easy. But today that didn't happen. So I manually opened the program, then went to file, get photo, from reader, and then I see the number of pictures read, but then the error message comes up.
    Anyone know what that message means and how do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Penny,
    Reinstalling the program should not be a problem as this is available online for free download. Just search for "Download Photoshop Album Starter Edition" and you will be lead to appropriate link on the  Adobe site.
    Cheers!!

  • I get a error message (no -42404) when i try to update

    when i try to update itunes i get error message   (-42404) saying my copy of itunes is corrupt  & and reinstall  it
    but i keep getting same message???

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
