Firefox can't be restarted within 20-30 seconds after halting. This is new behavior.

Why, after I close the window, can I not immediately restart Firefox, as has been the case in the past? Now, I get a warning that Firefox is still running and I can't open it.
If I wait 20-30 seconds, I can reopen the program.

I had done that already. I brought it down to 30, which was recommended in another thread.
For most sites, Firefox works fine. But some of the primary sites I use for work hang up for long periods of time and frequently never load. I've tested the same sites with other browsers and they load quickly, so it is a Firefox issue.
Please help me keep Firefox! Thanks!!

If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

Why can't I see my contacts in Yahoo7 after updating to the new Yahoo7? I can see them in internet explorer

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Can I still download apps on my phone after I activate my new one

I Want to be able to play games after I activate a new phone

You can continue to use the old phone as an iPod touch.

A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time -- HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?

I have read the other threads and tried what they suggested and am still unable to solve this.
I am using OSX 10.7.5
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. This did not work.
Any suggestions?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from your old profile (if there is one) to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My Firefox just crashed, when I attempt to use it again, this pop up appears : Your computer need to be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox, I have restarted my unit many times after receiving this pop up but still nothing has changed

just gave a detailed description on my question, please help me

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

Firefox will not open and my profile name changes, after I creat a new profile it works until I try to open again

Firefox version 16.0.2 was working I have used FF for years. A few days ago it started to run very slow opening web sites. Then this morning when I tried to open it I saw a progress bar that looked like the kind I see after an update has been applied but FF never opened.
I rebooted my windows 7 64 bit and tried again, nothing FF would not open and I got no error message.
So I opened the profile manager and only found a default profile not the one I created last year with my name. I created a new profile and browsed to my old profile folder. FF opened and ran fine until I closed it and later tried to open it again then I kept getting an error box telling me that FF had crashed and asked if I wanted to send a report and restart, I did but no good it still would not open.
I ran the profile manager again and found my profile had changed name to a bunch of numbers. I delete that profile but kept the folder then made a new one and that worked. I shut it down again and once again I get the We're sorry error box.
By the way I had set the profile manager to open when FF loads and it is not opening so the problem is before it gets to that command.

First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.

How can I get my favorites files and folders after upgrading to a new version?

Hi.
I recently rebooted my computer back to factory condition an upgraded to the newest version of fire fox.
I lost all my favorites, bookmarks and important folders. Is there a way I can restore that information back to fire fox?

Not if you didn't backup your personal data in the Firefox program folder or were using Firefox Sync.
You should always backup your personal data before reformatting the computer.

Can't Access Any Google Related Website, Second Day of This

Hello all,
Yesterday sometime, I realized my iGoogle Home page wasn't loading. Then I found I couldn't retrieve my gmail from Mail or gmail.google.com. I also can't access yahoo or youtube. I tried getting rid of openDNS to leave my ISP DNS but it didn't work. I went back to openDNS with settings changed and nothing has worked thus far. I have also reset my home network.
The weird thing is that I can get on google from any other computer in my home including my iPhone and Wii. I can also get to google from windows machines on my home network too. I tried going to differnet google's such as .ca and .cl to no avail. I'm at wits end here and need help.
Thank You

I have tried on Google Chrome and Firefox with the same results.
The safari error message is as such:>>>
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “www.google.com”.
Chrome:>>>
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at http://www.google.com/ig might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
More information on this error
Below is the original error message
Error 102 (net::ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED): Unknown error.
Firefox:>>>
In firefox I just get a blank untitled screen saying it's done loading.
-Thank you for the other thread suggestion, your right. We have the exact problem. I wonder if it's virus/malware/spyware relate or google server errors.

Hate 7.o.1. Wasting so much time. Will go back to Safari unless I can revert to my former version..And after all this hype about upgrading!

Don't like format.
Can't play Lexulous with robot.

I can't open firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back.

I can't open Firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking me to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back. I've not been able to use Firefox for days now.

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. 
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem 
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

Did you try to wait a bit longer before restarting Firefox to give Firefox more time to close down completely?
