Firefox doesn't open with profile even after creating a profile through Profile Manager.

I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.
I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.
Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?

Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/

  • Firefox doesn't open with any extension switched on

    Hi,

    I can open it in safe mode. But turning on any of extensions is causing firefox crash on open.

  • When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

    When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 months ago?

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

  • Firefox will not open at all, even after rebooting & re-installing - IE opens normally - what can I do?

    I've used Firefox since version 3 - really like it compared to others.
    This morning, after booting up Firefox wouldn't open. It worked when the PC was shut down last night. The eggtimer comes on briefly, then nothing. Internet Explorer works fine, as does Mailwasher (for email) and MS Outlook, so it's not an internet problem.
    I'm running XP Service Pack 3 (no, really, still), with Webroot Secure Anywhere internet security.
    I've tried rebooting - no effect
    I've tried removing, rebooting, and reinstalling - no effect
    I've tried launching it from a link within a mail message - no effect
    I've tried launching it from the Start-Run line with the ~p option as in your FAQ - no effect
    I've tried re-installing Adobe Flash Player, Java, Shockwave, etc..
    The closest I've got to something to go on is when trying to launch a console from Webroot, when I got "Browser launch error 1073741819" - but this could be a Webroot error code.
    I'm not sure what else to do - almost all your FAQ's assume you can get into the program.
    The only thing I can think is that webroot removed a threat this morning, but I can't find any saved scan log as to what it was - clutching at straws, maybe that had something to do with it?
    Maybe this is linked, but i'm having to write this on a different PC because the Mozilla webpages don't display properly in IE (all the other sites I can find display normally) So the installed plug-ins won't reflect what I have on the PC in question

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

  • Firefox will not open or uninstall even after following instructions

    iv tried uninstalling in safe mode but nothing works

    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.

  • Firefox 4 could not be made to show bookmarks on Vista 64bit. I used system restore to get back to older version. Now Firefox won't open at all even after undoing system restore

    I use Vista 64 bit. Was fine with older Version of Firefox (3.6, I believe). Upgraded to Ver. 4. Couldn't access extensive bookmarks file or bookmarks toolbar. Tried all the Firefox help recs and they didn't work. Clicking the top button would give list of toolbars but when I tried to move to bookmarks toolbar the menu changed. Tried going thru tools and options and that didn't work. So decided to use System Restore to get old Firefox version back. Icons remained but program wouldn't open. Tried many ways, including start menu. Old version is still on program control file but only option is to uninstall. So went back to System Restore to get Vers. 4 back and it's not there. What to do?? I can use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I want all my 100's of bookmarks back. Thank you.

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Doesn't open with application I want

    I want to open all .smi files with Text Wrangler. The computer thinks the .smi files are disk image files whereas they are just subtitle files similar to srt files. However, when I choose GetInfo and select Text Wrangler and choose "Change all files to open with this type", I get a question box asking me whether I want to open all files with Disk Image. If I choose "Yes", then I get Disk Image as the default application, and if I choose "Cancel", I still get Disk Image.
    In other words, it doesn't let me choose Text Wrangler to open all files of this type (.smi).
    What should I do?

    I fixed this problem. What I did was I clicked to open a file. I chose "other" for the application I wanted the file to open with. Then after that a dialog box opened called "Choose Application". In this window, I chose "All Applications" for "always open with".
    Then I chose Text Wrangler from the Applications list. Then I clicked "Open".
    After that I right-clicked an .smi file from a Finder window and chose "Get Info" for that file. After that, Text Wrangler came up as the first choice in the list, not Disk Image, and I was able to select Text Wrangler as the default application that opens all files of that type (.smi).
    So the trick was to change the "enable" part in the "Choose Application" dialog box (obtained by choosing "other" when selecting the application to open the file with) and changing "Recommended Applications" to "All applications".
    After that, everything works fine and I can change the default application using Get Info.

  • OER 11.1.1.7 - Asset Navigator doesn't open with an Error - Missing Required permissions attribute in main jar

    Hi,
    I have installed OER-11g version 11.1.1.7 and am successfuly able to open Asset Editor , ImpExp utility and also could harvest SOA and OSB components.
    Issue 1:
    However while trying to open the Navigator of the harvested components in OER console, a new window opens with two sections ( top and bottom). The top one which is a diagram view doesn't open with an error - Missing required permissions attribute in main jar: http://localhost:7101/oer-web/applets/components.aler-thinkmapclient-11.1.1.7.0.jar.
    Please find the screenshot below.
    Issue #2 : While trying to browse for the Assets from OER console. The below error is seen ( missing permissions for components.jexplorer-11.1.1.7.0.jar)
    Could someone direct me on how to solve this issue. Appreciate your help !
    Thanks and regards,
    Sridhar.

    It works for me after I did a small tweak by as mine is a demo install.
    Idea - is to make an security exception for the OER url in Java control console
    Steps to do that :
    1.Go to the control panel and uninstall the 64 bit version of Java
    Open Programs and Features and select the 64 bit version of Java and select Uninstall.
    2.Open up the Java Control Panel
    Found as an option in the standard windows control panel
    3.Check the version by clicking on the About Tab
    If this is not what you expected you can go to java.com and download the latest version.
    4.Click on the Security Tab in the Java Control Panel
    5.Click on the Edit Site List button in the lower RH corner of the control panel
    6.Add your URL to be allowed
    Enter the full path that you use to access this such as https://myequallogics.com or the IP address if that is how you access it (as in http://192.168.0.100 - Https is recommended by Oracle.) Once complete hit OK. You should now see the exception on the security page.
    7.Close out of the control panel.
    8.You can now acess your site through the browser window.
    Thanks to Java error: Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar - Spiceworks for letting me know this.
    regards,

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    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

  • Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???

    Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???  My plug are asking me to re-register them too.  This is annoying.  Please help!!!!!

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

  • TextEdit 1.7 doesn't open with blank page - why?

    Why the change, Apple, why?
    I use TextEdit all the time - it's simple - I can copy and paste important web-realted writings, like the one I'm writing right now, in case the web crashes or my wifi goes out or yet another Safari bug appears.  And when my writing is inspired, I can open TextEdit quickly and get the idea typed quickly - unlike other programs that take a moment to open.
    But now, TextEdit has changed in OS 10.7.3, for some reason:
    1.  When you open the application, it reverts to whatever you were typing before, or whatever document was saved the last time you opened TextEdit.  E.g., it doesn't open with a blank page.  Why on earth would you change this?  Now when I'm finished typing something, I have to select ALL and DELETE the work, so it doesn't distract me when I open a new document, or I want to save some completely new document.  That simply adds up to more mouse-clicking in a long day.
    2.  There is no "save as" under File.  Just "save".  Again, why change this?
    Apple / Mac, just ask yourselves, is this a "change", or an "improvement"?
