Firefox crashed down many times (6-7) and doesn't open anymore giving me a warning sound each time i try to open it any suggestions?

I'm using firefox (now 27b2) having many tabs opened and i got used to the fact that many times crashes down ... each time i restore the session and it starts again ... but yesterday it "died" on me. Each time i'm trying to run it i get a warning sound and firefox refuses to open. As far as i remember i didn't install any soft lately ... but right before it's death, my pc was getting frozen and need it reboot ... that happened 3-4 times and then firefox "left" this cruel world. I run S&D, Malware bytes, Avast IS ... found nothing. Tried to open it in safe mode unsuccesfuly getting the same warning sound. I decided to uninstall it (Revo uninstaller) and used Ccleaner to wipe the leftovers then i tried to reinstall it but when running setup i get a message says "File corrupt" and everything ends here. I tried firefox 26 stab and it worked like a charm but the question remains the same why the beta version refuses to run and/or to be reinstalled ... If there is someone out there (I'm sure there are many...) with any suggestions or advices i would be very grateful ...Thank you all...

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
<!-- VERY important to include-->
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

    Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added no plugins; checked I can DL the same images in IE-works good.I use Win7 pro and it works in other profiles in Windows 7. I created a new profile in Windows and that worked for about 2 months and now that has gone the same way as my admin profile has done. I deleted the sqlite download file-still same prob..Please help. I use Firefox 13.0.1

    That sounds very frustrating.
    By the way, does it say "Download image" or "Save Image As"? Just checking whether you have an add-on downloader in the mix that might be relevant. If you do have an add-on, try using the built-in command.
    Do you also crash if you save from here:
    right-click page > View Page Info > Media tab > (select image) > Save As
    I assume you have seen this article and tried these things: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Have you tried the new Reset feature in Firefox 13? This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back if you like using Firefox's Profile Manager.
    Does it make any difference?

    if you are subscribed to the Hardwell podcast... quickly open the Podcast app and delete the most recent Hardwell podcast from 3/22.
    for some reason that's causing the crash. i've deleted and it works fine again.

  • How can I enlarge print and make it permanent so don't have to redo each time go to webpage

    when used internet explorer I changed text to little larger and it stayed there. Didn't have to change each time went to a webpage. How can I do this on firefox or if not need to know that

    See this:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom
    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    # Question
    I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    Is this the Firefox branded Google page? If it is, Firefox can store multiple home pages and you may have 2 home pages set. Follow the instructions to set a single home page in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If it is the Firefox has just updated page that keeps on appearing, there may be a different problem, for details on fixing that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

  • I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

    I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

    Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
    First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
    Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
    One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

    I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can’t seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions on getting rid of it and getting back to Google?

    Hello
    I did remove Bing from the drop down menu, but it is still in Firefox as main search engine. I also did a back up and restore. Nothing has worked so far. I read a post that people were able to delete Bing from Explorer. I guess using Explorer will be my last resort.

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison" What do I do?

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?

    Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

    Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
    You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
    Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
    Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
    If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
    If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
    Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

  • IOS Deployed app gets into "Installing" state and doesn't answer anymore

    Hi, im trying to develop a mobile application, but whenever i go to "Run Configurations" the "Packaging Method" options are disabled. It can only package in standard mode. That shouldn't be a problem (other than the longer time do package) but when i deploy the app to any iOS device and try to run it, the app enters "Installing" mode and doesn't answer anymore. Could it be a problem related to my air version?

    I'm staying on 7.0.4 as a choice. (battery life longer than 7.1)
    Actually, just the opposite.  Does that mean you tried 7.1 and hacked the phone to downgrade, or is there an entirely different reason you can't update to 7.1....
    iPhone worked for almost 2 years on 7.0.4
    That's curious, since iOS 7.0 was released only 9 months ago and 7.0.4, 7 months ago...
    Anything else ?
    If this phone isn't jailbroken:
    1.  Reset phone: press both the home and lock buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    2.  Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    3.  Restore the iOS (also updating to 7.1.1) with iTunes, also restoring a backup
    4.  Restore the iOS as new, without restoring a backup.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    Next time try to create a topic that is not the question.
    There was no option to remove epm instances in 11.1.2.1, basically the cloest you get is uninstalling the products on the server and hope that some of the info is removed from the epm registry
