Firefox does not load up, open up when I click the icon, or when I go to firefox using the start menu.

I downloaded firefox 4 and used it for a few days and then it ceased to open up when I clicked the icon or went through the start menu. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still does not open.

Have you tried opening in Safe Mode - Hold down the Shift key as you double click.
Your Ask Toolbar is a known problem.
If Safe Mode works you can work your way through this -

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Firefox does not load on power up

    Firefox does not load when i power up my Windows XP desktop, even though i have a firefox shortcut in ...start menu\programs\startup alongside an Outlook 2007 shortcut and desktop.ini which both work.
    I've deleted the firefox shortcut and replaced it and rebooted but it still won't load on power up. I have to click on the shortcut to run it?
    Please help

    Hi JakOrm,
    What version of Firefox are you trying to install?
    Microsoft doesn't allow Firefox on the surface RT, so unfortunately you can't install Firefox there.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

    Your above posted troubleshooting list shows quite a few extensions.
    Did you really disable all of them and still had the problem?

  • Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

    First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
    About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
    I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

    Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
    I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
    Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
    I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
    I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

  • Firefox does not load random websites. Using a 3.6 or later version, with an XP OS.

    My Dad's laptop is using XP OS.
    He's been using Firefox quite a bit, until recently (about a month ago or more) when we go to any random website, it does not load. All it shows is a blank page and at the bottom bar it says "Done".
    But after refreshing it multiple times (and I mean A LOT of times) it either loads it or does not.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

  • Firefox does not load any websites now, after working well earlier today.

    Firefox is not working now - it does not load any websites. Message on screen says:- "8e6 Mobile Client - internet browsing is not possible at this time. Error:80001001".
    What I was doing before the problem:-
    I had spent time re-organising My Documents.
    One folder in My Docuamnts called "High Windows" contained the file "2101HighWin.msi", which I attempted to open.
    What I have done since the Firefox problem:-
    I have tried to uninstall 8e6 Mobile Client, but it won't let me.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox.
    I have used InternetExplorer8 to search thru the Mozilla troubleshooting pages.
    Please can you help?

    Is it hanging ? have you looked for the firefox.exe process using something such as the Windows task manager. Do you find the process ? Presumably Firefox has worked previously on the same computer, can you confirm that?
