Firefox does not start in Windows Vista. It can be seen in the task manager that the process is running. But nothing happens. After deleting the process it still does not work.

Are there any issues with Firefox 10 and Vista? IE works.

Hi webero,
There are no Known Issues that I am aware of. You should take a look at [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] and our article called [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-not-start Firefox will not start].
Hopefully this helps!

  • I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro.  I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.

    Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
    And try resetting the SMC.

  • Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

    I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
    I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
    I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
    Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
    Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

    Solved it!
    It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
    How I fixed it:
    * Download the latest Firefox
    * Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
    * Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
    * Hit Finish
    * Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
    * Leave everything disabled
    * You should now have a working Firefox!
    Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
    Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
    Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

  • Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

    The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

    After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

  • I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7.  can someone help me?

    I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle.  upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7.  just dead in the water. any help?

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

  • After closing Firefox and trying to open a new session, I get periodic pop ups telling the program is still running. I open the task manager and close it, and everything's fine. What's the issue, and how do I get it to stop?

    Problem doesn't happen every time, and I've tried to leave it alone to see if there's an update that needs to finish loading. After being left overnight, I still had to use the task manager to close the Firefox program. I have no idea what it's doing, and I'd like to know. Is Firefox taking over my computer so it can move on to my house, and then go on to rule the Tri State Area?

  • Firefox 3.6.x will not start on Windows Vista after upgrading from 3.5.13

    I have tried to upgrade Firefox 3.5.x (currently 3.5.13) to several versions of Firefox 3.6.x (currently 3.6.10). Whenever I try to open Firefox after the 3.6.x install, nothing happens. This occurs even if I uninstall 3.5.x first. If I uninstall 3.6.x and reinstall 3.5.x everything works fine.

    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.

  • I tried to get hunting regulations from LA wildlife and fisheries site a page came up with( Hunting_Reg_Final.pdf) but nothing happens. Now the page will not even open?

    The LA wildlife and fisheries page had an Adobe symbol on it. Could this be the problem?

    You will need a pdf reader to read pdf files There are a few but the free reader from Adobe is normally used. The Adobe Acrobat reader also comes with a plugin allowing it to open the pdf files in firefox. ( I note from your system details that you already have that. )
    Do you also have Abobe Acrobat itself installed and working ?
    ( the plugin itself is not sufficient)
    The well known search engine google, often offers pdf files in a html format

  • I don't like the look of the new firefox and I treid to change the theme by clicking on an Add-on, but nothing happened and nothing changed. Also I can't see the minimize and close buttons on the corner of my screen.

    the Add-on didn't work to download. It was the Qute theme to make firefox look more like an older version.
    Also the top right corner of my screen is black and I can't see the minimize or restore or close button. they work by me guessing where to place my mouse, but the buttons can't be seen.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
