Firefox does not open at all since I updated to version 3.6.4, not even when I re-download it.
Firefox crashes (does not open at all) since I updated to version 3.6.4. Not even when I re-downloaded it several times. Now, even the old version doesn't start. I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.4. It doesn't show that pop up window that explains why it crashed. It just stops and quits.

Hello everyone.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update
Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update
I have a similar problem. I upgrated to Maverick a couple weeks ago and at that time I saw a very different appearance to my Pages documents, especially my book lists. Numbers appeared at the left side of the pages. All seemed well. Now the last few times I've tried to open those documents, I get the message that "YOU NEED A NEWER VERSION OF PAGES TO OPEN THIS DOCUMENT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF PAGES FROM THE MAC APP STORE". I can't figure out how or why the version reverted back to the way it was. That message doesn't always come though. Some documents I can open but some I can't open at all. If I click LEARN MORE, I am directed to the APP STORE where I can buy Pages 5.0.1 for $19.99!!!!! What the heck is going on????? Am I going to have to pay for pages where Maverick was FREE.

Tried to start Firefox 3.6.16 from Desktop May 4. Instead of opening, message showed an update in progress, then a message that it could not install because two Firefox programs were running (?). After the install message closed Firefox wouldn’t open from the Desktop, the Start Menu, or the Run command. I’ve rebooted numerous times & even did a System Restore to May 3.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox currently shows only one firefox.exe, last modified 03/23/11, and the only changes May 4 to chrome folder (6 Executable Jar Files), components folder (browser.xpt), & blocklist.xml.Thank you very, very much for providing the simple, concise directions that solved my problem! After sorely missing Firefox 3.6.16 for a month, today I finally worked up the courage/got desperate enough to attempt (with much trepidation!) the download and re-installation.
Step 4 was a bit of a challenge, but following Uninstall directions in the 3.6.16 Release Notes advising removal through Control Panel appears to have preserved my Profile and worked fine. Was not quite sure how to go about properly removing the Firefox program folder, so I opened Local Disk (C:)/Program Files/ and deleted (to Recycle Bin) the Mozilla Firefox folder – and am keeping fingers crossed that that was the correct method.
It was quite a satisfying thrill when Firefox 3.6.17 opened, but very distressing to note that “Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4”. Sadly, it seems all things Internet seem to be evolving towards mobile devices, social networking, and the ability to sync all the fancy new toys – and getting much to complex for us old dogs who don’t learn new tricks easily, or need them for that matter.
Thanks again! -
ITunes wont open at all since incomplete update
Tried to install latest update and rec'd an error code. Ever since then (2 days ago) itunes wont open at all. I tried to install again via the Apple website.. Still wont open. Should I uninstall and reinstall? Will my library remain stored?
Try the following:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch -
Why can I not open this now I have updated to version 5
I updated to version 5 and promtly lost my google toolbar which I understand may be rectified later but today I could not open mozilla firefox at all either by icon or going into programmes
I would suggest using the Quick Launch instead with Firefox being one of the first so it shows on the task bar. No preloaded or anything just ready to use.

I think IE is a browser interface to Windows, Firefox is self-contained and runs on any system. -
Sync does not work at all since last update. This is ********.
Pretty self-explanatory. I had to perform a full restore after the last software update failed to install properly, as usual. Now when I try to sync it gets stuck on the last step and nothing gets copied. I better not have to do another restore just for this. Clearly numerous people are having this same problem. Get it together.
P.S. Censorship is b ull$h!t.Do you really have OS X 10.4.1 as listed in your profile? The iPad requires 10.5.8 or later to sync. You can install either a retail version of 10.5 or 10.6 directly over 10.4 to upgrade.

Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.
For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go. -
Why is Safari not opening AOL properly since last update?
I have a macbook - OS Lion. Ever since the last automatic update, Safari has not been able to open AOL. I get a message saying: "Slow connection? Use the basic version." If I use Firefox, AOL opens just fine. Anyone else having this problem, and is there a fix? I'm hesitant to upgrade to Mountain Lion because I'm afraid my e-mail won't work... I don't use the Mail program as it is because there are issues with syncing between my macbook and my IPhone 4.
To fix your pc - run command prompt as administrator and type - netsh winsock reset - then restart your pc.

IPhone 4S Camera not working at all since last update
Please Help!!! I use my iPhone camera as my primary camera and so does my wife. We are both having the exact same problem. No matter which way we try to use our cameras, whether through text messaging or directly from the camera app, when the camera starts up the screen is black. I try to kill the app and then restart it and on restart it appears to be fine, but when i click the shutter button to capture the pic the app crashes and takes me back to my home screen.
I've tried restarting my phone and nothing works. Please fix this bug or tell me what to do!
HELP!!!Please fix this bug
This is a user-to-user tech support site. Your problem is not a "bug" - it's in your phone.
Try basic troubleshooting steps as needed:
1. Double click the home button to show the recently opened apps. Slide the preview screen of the Camera app up to close it.
2. Reset phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
3. Restore the iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
4. Restore the iOS as new, without using a backup
5. If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure that requires evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service center -
WHO ELSE IS HAVING WITH IDVD NOT OPENING AT ALL AFTER INSTALLING UPDATES???
This is bad.

Thanks
it "FAILS TO LAUNCH"
I FAIL TO LIKE APPLE RIGHT NOW!Hi
Very few Apple people are reading this forum. It's a User to User forum.
I would try to delete the pref files (or rather start a new user account) to see
if it runns OK.
or read collected material:
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

I'm using XP sp3, fully patched with the current version of firefox 3. 6.12. I have 4 gb memory and a 250 gb hard drive. Most of which is all free, so I have lots of memory and hard drive space. I was using firefox and everything was working fine. I shut it down and when I went back later, it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed the user acct, followed all directions I could find and firefox will not open. I've run all kinds of scans on my computer for viruses or malware and found nothing. Everytime I try to open firefox, I get the crash reporter and it will not open at all. I would appreciate some help. I don't know what else to try. I use firefox as my default browser.
hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

I have had firefox since an earlier 2. version and have been able to upgrade as normal. After the installation is done it will not open at all. I have restarted and even uninstalled all previous version .exe and still nothing. I am using windows 7 OS. I am still running 3.6.8 and would love to see the new one running on my laptop.
