Firefox does not come up when I double click the icon, why not?

I upgraded Adobe but Firefox did not come up afterward. I uninstalled the upgrade but still can't get Firefox. On Start I get an MSN page without a toolbar or any other way to get to anywhere else. I have to close the window and am back at Desktop. Windows Explorer is working, going to wedsites, etc.

What version iOS have you got ? If you are still on the orginal iOS 3 version then you won't get the taskbar.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • TS3276 Mail is not responding. When I double click the icon spinning colour ball come out and my Mac Book Air hang. Can you solve this Problem?

    Dear Sir/Madame,
    Yesterday my mail worked very well. This morning I could not open the mail. When I double click at mail icon, spinning colour ball appear and my computer hang. I have to force quit the mail. I would appreciate very much if anybody can help me to solve the problem.
    Thanks
    Bambang Sutrisna

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I need to recover all my notes from Ghostwriter. When I double click the icon nothing happens. I am sick to my stomach! Can anyone help me?

    i need to recover all my notes from Ghostwriter. When I double click the icon nothing happens. I am sick to my stomach! Can anyone help me?

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Know why Premiere Elements 3.0 won't start when I double click the icon?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit.  I have Premiere Elements 3.0 and the 3.0.2 patch.  When I double click the icon, it won't load.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't load.  It worked as recently as last week.  I had some virus issues so I took my laptop to Geek squad and they "fixed" the issues.
    I never had this problem with Premiere before.  Anybody know what might be causing it not to start?
    I have been considering an upgrade.  I see that they are up to version 9.  Will version 9 even work on Vista?

    It depends.
    What do you mean by "I never had this problem before"? Do you mean Premiere Elements worked fine until the Geek squad restored your computer?
    Unless they totally wiped your hard drive and reinstalled your operating system, they may have patched but not totally fixed your problem.
    Or it could be that your computer just needs a good cleaning and defragging. Assuming you've got adequate power and a good 30-50 gigabytes of free defragmented space on your C drive.
    But there's a very good chance that, if you've re-installed version 3 and it still won't run, then version 9 won't run either. After all, if you still haven't remedied yoru core problem, a new vehicle isn't likely to make any difference, right?
    Still, there's no harm in trying. Why not download free trial and see?

  • Why does Firefox no longer launch when I double-click the icon?

    I found an article on the support site that suggested creating a new profile, but the run command did not launch profile manager. I tried uninstall/reinstall, but it does not change behavior. When I click the icon, I get the hourglass for a moment, and then nothing. I'm on WinXP. On 10-14-11, I thought I saw a pop-up menu saying Firefox was updating (I did not initiate it, nor was I presented with a confirm pop-up), but it was very brief, so I'm not sure. After that day, Firefox would no longer launch. I've not made any system changes, or installed any programs.

  • Photos don't show individually. they only come up when I double click the blank box. how can I restore iPhoto?

    when I open iPhoto, the screen shows only blanc squares where the photos should appear. when I double-click on a square (titled by date taken), all pictures come up. how can I get back to seeing all individual pictures?

  • Hotsync Manager will not come up when I double click on Hotsync - device will not Hotsync

    I have a Windows 7 64 bit PC and am trying to hotsync using USB to a MEZ1000 Palm device from Aceeca.  I am using their 64 bit driver for the USB.  I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 and the Acceca 64 bit driver about 4 months ago and it was working fine.  A few days ago I tried to hotsync and it wouldn't.  Tried rebooting PC and uninstalling and reinstalling the Palm desktop and Aceeca driver.  I have done that 2 - 3 times following the clean uninstall instructions that I found on this forum.  The install hangs when it tries to configure the registry.  I can see the hotsync.exe process in the task manager.  The install will not proceed past this point unless I end the process in the Task Manager.  Also, in searching the PC for anything named hotsync, I found a file called Report.wer that was dated 04/02/12 (the day I first tried to hotsync and failed) in C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\Critical_Hotsync.exe_599940f2117296adef2f8cf88fb71dd13d49811c_453e7b5c

    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Okay - I got preview back - it seems to have gotten hung and corrupted, so I went to library and fixed the permissions there
    Click on "Go" in the Finder menu bar while holding down ⌘ key     and you will see Library appear in the pull-down menu, click on it and it     will take you to the "Library Folder".
    Hit the ⌘I keys, to get to pull up the “Get Info” window on the     “Library Folder”.
    Unlock the pad lock in the lower right hand corner.
    Click on the + symbol to add a user.
    When prompt add the 'root user'.
    Give the root user Read/Write privileges.
    Lock the pad lock and open Preview.
    But that wasn't enough so I went back to disk repair and even though I had just run it , this tim it fixed a slew of permissions problems -
    I then restarted and viola - I was able to use Preview again.
    Computer is running a little fast too.
    Thank you everyone..

  • Firefox doesn't open when I double-click the icon. I already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

    Initially, both internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox wouldn't open. After 3 months of not using my laptop, I decided to try to troubleshoot the problem. Miraculously, I could open IE today without having to do anything. But I was still having trouble with firefox. So I killed it in the task manager, and then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The loading icon would appear, but the window wouldn't open. So I tried opening it in safe mode. It worked, but like for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds of having it in safe mode, the window would freeze, I wouldn't be able to click anything in the window, and the top of the bar said "not responding". I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

  • I downloaded periscope on itunes however when I double click the icon nothing happens!!!!

    I downloaded Periscope on itunes. It shows it finished and i see the icon. When i try to double click to open it nothing happens. Is this happening to anyone else. This also goes for any other app that I dll thru itunes.

    iOS apps don't run in iTunes on your computer and you don't double-click apps on iOS devices. What is the real problem you want to address?

  • ITunes doesn't open when I double-click the icon.

    It doesn't give me an error message. I'll just see my arrow spin and then nothing. I have windows 7. It doesn't even attempt to open.

  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

    When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    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.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
