Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I keep getting a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" message and firefox does not open. WHat is wrong and how do I fix?

I uninstalled Firefox from my computer, then I reinstalled it and tried to run it, but this message appeared, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" and Firefox does not open at all.

hello davidrusso71, press windows-key+R on your computer and open ''%appdata%\Mozilla\'' - an explorer window should come up, in there rename the folder labelled "Firefox" to something like oldFirefox. on the next start of firefox this should lead to a new profile being created...
you might want to import some of your old data into the new profile afterwards: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.

Every time Firefox opened
== The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

Hello John.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin 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?

Firefox does not open oracle 11.5.10

I'm using FF 3.6.16, very recent update, on a G5 PowerMac running up-to-date Mac OSX 10.4.11.
This afternoon (my time here) I opened FF 3.6.16 and was offered update to FF 4, which I tried, unsuccessfully, to load and run.
Here's what happened.
After downloading and clicking on the .dmg, the usual FF icon and look-like Applications icon appeared side-by-side.
But the FF icon had a "no go" sign planted over it.
Sliding the FF icon onto the Applications one gave a message indicating 3.6.16 is more recent than the version the icon-slide would give.
So I opted out.
I wondered whether I was victim of a web-site forgery.
I think maybe 'Mozilla' have taken-down FF 4 for the time being, attending to reported bugs (pls. see other forum posts about them), or FF 4 isn't suitable (yet) for anything earlier than Mac OSX 10.5.
Am I right, please?
Thanks & cheers.

After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open

After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open when I hit its button. I uninstalled it and reintalled it but the problem remains - My operating sys is VISTA 2 service pack. IE works
Any suggestions?
== Operating system ==
VISTA 2 service pack

I have been using Firefox on a regular basis for many years.
I have two problems with Firefox 3.6.4.
First, it keeps crashing....
I have 4gb of memory on a Windows 7 - HP Laptop and whenever Firefox tries to allocate more than 1.5gb of memory it crashes. What is more interesting is the fact that while Firefox is running on a static page; such, as the google search page...the memory allocation keeps climbing... Even when nothing else is running.....Does anyone see a problem with this. I have tried all the suggestions that I could search for and I have come to one conclusion....the problem is software related and software problems should be fixed with software not by people manually going into an application and toggling something on or off. In other words the mozilla team should be looking at trying to resolve this issue.
So, what programmer did you guys have write the 3.6.4 memory handler - a person who doesn't understand how to allocate and deallocate memory?
Just so you know what I have been describing above about Firefox 3.6.4 is a memory leak, and memory leaks are usually a first sign of poorly written code.
==
My Second Issue is in regards to the newest Firefox Update, which prevents me from going to the internet whenever it's installed because it has a flaw with its Network Proxy module. I have to re-install the original Firefox v3.6.4 to fix this problem.
Solution:
I'm going back to Internet Explorer because the mozilla team can't fix all these issues. I don't have the time to come up with a work around solutions for an inferior piece of software that is supposed to just allow me to browse the internet at anytime....

How come when i use personas firefox does not open to homepage, i just get a blank page?

when i use a persona firefox does not open 2 my home page, but rather to a blank page.

Thanks for responding Chris.
I hadn't restarted after disabling SearchMenu. Having restarted, it would appear that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. Which was my suspicion. Once Find highlights a "word" SearchMenu interrupts to offer its services. I guess I'll post on their board, to see if there's a solution.
I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Rookie move.
Thanks again, Chris.

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

I REINSTALL 10 TIMES SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!
I'm piss because i need firefox working again so i can finish reseaching my speech in 5 days.

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

My camera has frozen, the shutter will not open for me to take a photo.

try soft reset dude (press and hold power and home button together, NOTE: the only time you let go of those buttons is when you see the apple logo, when you see the apple logo: let go quickly. your iPhone should restart, if NOT, turn it on and do soft reset again)
then test your camera.
