Firefox does not open from the desktop icon!

I upgraded to the new one and tried to run once the install said finish. my addmin account will not open firefox but my guest acct does open it.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

Elements organiser does not launch from the desktop toolbar

Obviously this is not a major, however it is very frustrating, and slows the workflow. When I have the editor (I have version 11) open and click on the quick launch icon at the bottom of the desktop, 90% of the time, at least, nothing happens.
Is this a known fault ? Is there anything I can do to fix ?
Any comments most appreciated !
Warm regards from sunny New Zealand

Hi Jim
Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.
Drag each icon to the taskbar and you should be able to launch either Organizer or Editor with a single click.

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

My HP J5780 printer program does not bring up the desktop icon for faxing. The HP Solution Ctr fails

As stated above, the icon that use to come up on the desktop when you clicked the HP Solution Center (use to be able to scan/fax/etc. by clicking the selected item on the icon) does not come up. Instead I get the following error message when I click on the HP Solution Center: Parsing error in file C:/Program Files (x86)/hp/Digital Imaging/bin/hpqscloc/1033.xml
The printer will fax using the panel on the printer. Everything was working ok prior to replacing the printer with HP8500A Plus. At which time I deleted all files and programs associated with the J5780 printer and installed the software for the 8500A printer. I was not satisfied with the 8500A, so I removed the software for the 8500A from the computer and then restored my computer to a prior date when the J5780 was installed and working ok. Another problem that I have with the J5780 printer follows: Prior to having a WIN7 computer, the printer would print on both sides of the paper. Since installing the WIN7 computer, it will not print on both sides. I have discussed this problem with HP in the past but still do not have a fix for this problem. If anyone can help me on these two problems, I would really appreciate it.
Does anyone have the Starter CD for WIN7 systems for the HP Officejet J5780. If so, could you make a copy for me and I will pay you for it.
Thanks for your consideration and efforts.

Firefox will not open from my desktop (freezes), but will open from wifes desktop, same computer.

Within the last 3 days, I have opened my Firefox browser only to have it freeze. There are two tabs opened. One eventually showas a yellow triangle with and exclamation mark and states "Restore Session". The second tab has "Getting Started with Firefox". I have opened my wifes desktop, clicked on Firefox and it opens properly and I am able to use it. I go back to my desktop, open Firefox... FREEZES!! I have spoken with a local computer repair busuiness and have tried several suggestions from them including uninstalling and reinstalling. Even after the same thing happens from only my desktop, open Firefox...FREEZES!!. I hope you can provide a solution as there are several work related websites that only function correctly with Firefox.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
See also:
* [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
* [2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* [3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
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.com/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.

Firefox won't open from the desktop shortcut nor the program file on the start page.

On many occasions, Firefox will not start (load) unless I reboot my laptop. Version 3.6 on Windows Vista.

Actually, it's not just Mail that isn't working, but the Finder is crashing as well, and there may also be other problems that I don't fully understand. If you can manage to use the computer at all, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the latest system update using the Combo installer:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the boot volume before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

Firefox does not open with the tabs I had open when I use the quit and save function. Firefox opens with my home page only. how to fix?

When I use the "Save and Quit" function it has no effect. The next time I open Firefox it goes to my home page only.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 3 days ago

This is not a solution, nor a work-around. The only thing this points out is where the problem lies. Settings are meant to be used in all sessions, barring exceptions and the fact that Firefox asks if you'd rather SAVE and then quit, makes it an exception. The user has elected to skip the clear browsing history step.
However, if the settings are permanently changed as you suggest, then the history will always be remembered for eternity when Firefox is closed. You then have to manually clear your history first at every session before closing.
Older versions of Firefox never behaved in such manner and recognized that the Save and Quit superseded the setting to Clear History.

Since updating to Version 5 EU1.1, Firefox does not open from Outlook email links despite having all program defaults - how can I fix this, please?

Clicking on a weblink in an Outlook email fails to open the website in Firefox even when the browser is already open. Firefox is set as default browser. There was no problem with this before the latest Firefox update a few days ago.
I have tried changing program defaults to Internet Explorer (email links worked) and then back again to Firefox, but email links still don't work.

I want to use the speed dial extension when I start firefox. I have the option checked in speed dial settings but firefox does not open to the speed dial. How do I get this to work?

I want firefox to open up to the speed dial add-on so I can use it as my start page. In the speed dial options I have checked the option to start firefox in the speed dial but when I open firefox it doesn't open the speed dial.

Sorry, I don't use that add-on, and I don't see a SpeedDial support forum listed on the download page. <br />

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

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?
