Firefox crashed, & whn re-opened will not restore or open.

Firefox crashed. When I restarted the laptop and opened firefox it it went to the restore page and would not go beyond it. Each time I tried to cancel it said Firefox was not responding. I have uninstalled it and re-installed twice and exactly the same happens.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Flash crashes all the time, firefox crashes too and then will not work period, or my computer will say it is open when it is not, and I cannot open it. When I get on firefox it will not load anything! Explorer still works but not firefox!

    I keep getting the error message, problem loading page, even for firefox home! I need help, I hate explorer, I want my firefox back!

    Certainly disable FlashPlayer in your plugins by using
    * Firefox Button -> Add-ons -> | Plug-ins
    You need to get Firefox working again before you are going to be able to do anything with Firefox.
    See if you can get Firefox to open in [[safe mode]] noting that when you get a window with a list of options just click on continue.
    Also have a look at the articles
    * [[firefox hangs]]
    * [[firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    *[[managing the flash plugin]]
    Sorry but at present there are many possible causes of your problem and you will need to try Firefox's SafeMode &/or some of the suggestions in those linked articles in order to narrow it down a bit.

  • A week ago Firefox crashed and since then will not run on my computer. At first when I clicked on Icon on desktop a popup said Firefox was already running, but where was it? I couldn't find it anywhere. I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded Firefox 9.0.1.

    Now when I click on either the desktop icon or Firefox in the program section, a little popup appears in the top left hand corner but there is nothing in it that I can click on to run Firefox

    There may be a parent.lock file left in the Firefox Profile Folder because Firefox crashed.

  • Firefox will not restore session after crash

    Hello, I am writing because whenever I resume Firefox (like from a crash or restart), it will not reload my previous pages. Instead it will only open a new window and I have to dig through my history to find and reload the pages from my previous session. Firefox is set to remember history and to show my windows and tabs from last time.
    My Firefox version is up to date (although it seems that the version doesn't matter). I have gone into about:config, set browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 40, set browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 10, and reset broser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to true. None of that has helped and the latter kicks back to false every time Firefox restarts.
    I have had this issue occur a couple of times in the past, and if I recall, I had to create a new account. If told how to, I can do this again, but I would prefer to get to the root of the problem to prevent this from occurring again (plus I'd hate to lose all my history again). If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. If you need to know anything else, feel free to ask. Thank you.

    I have finally found a working solution with help from Zzxc.
    You do have to create a new profile, but you can save everything from browser history to ad-ons to dictionary. It even restored the pages I had open in the old profile.
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles
    This shows you how to create a new profile. I left the old one and named my new one as "name" - New Default - "current date"
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
    This shows you how to find all of your information and settings for both profiles. It shows you what file is what (so you can pick and choose), but if you just copy everything from inside the old profile folder and paste it into the new profile folder, you should be gold.
    This seems to have worked for me. If it turns out that I copied and pasted the problem as well, I will post it here, but as of now, everything appears to be in working order. Thanks.

  • Firefox is repeatedly DESTROYING my website Bookmarks; will not 'Restore' ANY Bookmarks

    Firefox is repeatedly DESTROYING my website Bookmarks; will not 'Restore' ANY Bookmarks!!
    This has happened several times in the past week (late-June, 2014)
    This is OUTRAGEOUS, CYNICAL, SADDISTIC, INCOMPETENT, MEAN-SPIRITED - on Firefox-Mozilla's part. "Educated guesses" are yet more <!--FUCK---> YOU--consumers crap that is not at all intended to help consumers.
    I have twittered and facebooked this outrage

  • I updated my phone but it will not restore so I have a bunch of apps that wont open and all my music and videos are gone.

    I updated my 3GS and it will not restore. All of my apps are ther but will not open and all of my music is gone. Everything is on my itunes but it will not let me sync. It just says to retore from backup or start as new iphone.

    Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the  go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

  • Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not start on the first click, sometimes needing to click 2 or 3 times for it to open (and this is after a fresh reboot with Firefox not running in Task Manager.

    Upon a fresh reboot the Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not work on the first click, sometimes it will not work at all and I need to go to Start-> then click the Firefox icon in the Start menu. Why is it that the icon won't start up on the first click?

    Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

  • With multi tabs open I go to close Firefox 5.0 and it will not keep the tabs there it closes all tabs

    With multi tabs open I go to close Firefox 5.0 and it will not keep the tabs there it closes all tabs so when I restart I have to re-open the tabs. I was using 3.6 firefox and had the option to close but keep the tabs so they would open when I re-started firefox.

    upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check
    * getfirefox.com

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • Ipod will not restore crashed during update

    ipod crashed on update and will not work. it said to do a restore but I have tryed 2 times and both times the restore didn't work

    I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
    Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

  • Igoogle will not restore no matter what I do

    I have used absolutley every instruction for restoring iGoogle which disappeared yesterday. It can be loaded on my android phone so I know it still exists however, it will not restore as my home page on desktop. I tried being signed in to Google and being signed out. I type http://www.google.com/ig into home page in Firefox options and it goes back to Google Classic. If I type http://www.google.com/ig into browser I get classic.

    Hi there,
    That's a really odd behavior. iGoogle shows up just fine for me, but it is supposed to be shut down on November 1st by Google.
    Maybe you have an Add-on installed that redirects you to the standard Google page whenever you type google.com in the address field. Unfortunately there are some rather nasty add-ons that might try that.
    You can either have a look into the add-ons list [[Disable or remove Add-ons|and disable any add-on that might do that]], or you can simply reset Firefox.
    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.
