Firefox.exe is gone after deleting XP Microsoft Virus 2012. What do I do?

I finally got rid of this terrible virus, but now when I click on Firefox icon it prompts me to "how would you like to open this file", no matter what I do it says application can not run.
The firefox. exe file is also not in my task list (prosesses).
I guess I just need to reinstall everything? My itunes is gone too, and can't get into anything on control panel. I can get on internet though with no problem.

Probably the antivirus software has made your applications useless while trying to remove the virus. Re-installing should fix that. Hopefully your preferences have not been deleted.

    Streaming radio just stopped working Firefox version 8, but I can get everything else not on stream to work. Add on's are up to date. I can't recall if it happened after the Firefox up date or after listening to last.fm or what prompted it. How to fix this?

    I installed-enabled MS win media player firefox 1.0.0.8, i still did not get streaming, error box comes up and says 'stream load error', the 'windows media test' thing did not work, i tried iheart radio-no luck, so i disabled win media player plug-in dynamic link library 3.0.2629 and tested and still did not work, i also have plug ins: silverlight 5.0.61118.0 and quicktime 7.6.9 7.6.9.0 enabled. I don't know why all of the sudden i have a stream problem with firefox, yesterday, i tried on IE which i never use and had no problem with it. i will try to do more trouble shooting and see, its really frustrating, if can't figure out, i guess will have to revert back to IE which i really don't want to do, but---oh well. thx for help.

  • Menu entry under 'Tools' for connecting Bridge with Photoshop gone after deleting preferences

    Hi, after I had problems with Photoshop HDR-Pro dialog not coming up, I deleted the preferences of both Brodge and Photoshop. Now HDR-Pro is working again, but just from inside Photoshop, not from Bridge. I don't see the menu entries under Tools to batch pictures in Photoshop. The tick in Bridge -> prefs -> start scripts -> auto collection cs5 is set. Actually I de-selected and selected, deleted prefs 3 times, it's still set now, but the menu doesn't show.
    The first time I deleted Bridge's prefs, the Illustrator menu was gone as well. After deleting the prefs again, de-selecting and selecting the Illustrator bits in the start scripts, it's showing again. Only Photoshop is still missing. I read this article
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3941856#3941856
    but it didn't help - the start scripts are set correctly in Bridge's preferences, and I've deleted the prefs several times now.
    Can anyone help?
    The versions:
    Bridge 4.1.0.54
    Photoshop 12.1 x64
    Thanks in advance

    Don't know what you mean with deleting prefs, did you use the option key to reset the preferences? or do you mean deleting the Bridge plist file from the user library preference folder.
    And in PS the same, did you use the key commands for refreshing preferences?
    I understand that you have CS5.5 and it did work before? Also do system maintenance with check and repair disk permissions, (use Apple Disk Utility for this).

  • Firefox.exe process remains after closing Firefox

    I closed Firefox 5 over 45 minutes ago. At the time it closed, I had around 60 tabs open. The Firefox window closed, but now, over 30 minutes later, firefox.exe is still consuming 624 MB of memory. For the record, currently Windows Task Manager shows firefox.exe consuming 00 CPU, 639,772 K Mem Usage and a Peak Mem Usage of 771,296 K.
    I'm seen this behavior at other times and, on those occasions, the firefox.exe process did eventually terminiate and release that memory. Why does firefox.exe take so long to terminate? Is this a bug or just a result of the way I use Firefox? I do tend to have a lot of tabs, 60 to 75, open at any given time. I'm guessing that's more tabs than the typical user.

    I should go on to add that I have already seen the Firefox Hangs |Hang at exit document and none of these look like the obvious issue. I'm running Java Version 1.6.0_26, so current there. I'm not running any of the listed Internet security software. The only extensions I'm running are Java Console 6.0.26, ReloadEvery 5.0.0 and Xmarks 4.0.1, so not a lot of extensions.

  • Firefox.exe is an unregistered application in Windows XP. What's up?

    I am using a "registry cleaner" which reports that the .pdf file type association references an unregistered application "firefox.exe"
    Should I tell the cleaner to "delete this erroneous value" or is it not a problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Guys, but neither provided the solution. I'd already updated both BIOS and Chipset drivers to the latest available.
    Incidentally, the OS is the version of XP that came already loaded - subsequently updated via Windows Update, of course.
    Any further thoughts anyone??

  • Firefox does not open after I downloaded Microsoft antivirus, why? How to fix it?

    Firefox worked fine on my desktop for years but when I downloaded Microsoft antivirus two days ago, Firefox does not work. It will not open anymore.

    Thanks LN.
    Now that I got an expert's attention, there are two problems that bug me all the time and have not able to get an explanation/solution:
    1. After restart, the trackpad lost it's ability to tab and click. I always have to use the mouse to tap the user (myself) to get the tiny signin password window. After that, all trackpad functions work fine. This happens for me through Marverik and now Yosemite.
    2. This one only happens recently after Yosemite upgrade. Everytime after restart, I have to reset my Verizon Router manually in order to establish network connection to access internet sites.
    Thank you for your help,
    ...Jeff

  • All messages are gone after deleting some text messages iOS8

    Hi guys!
    I've got a quiet annoying issue. Don't know if that is the hardware or software problem. I've replaced my 6 plus because of camera problems, and after that each time I try to delete ANY message from message app, app just crushed, and each time you're opening it it shows you empty inbox plus "new iMessage" window. That's not the end. Closing the app doesn't solve the problem. All of contact are gone in the same time so iMessage, phone call stop working. The only solution is restart the phone. Open the message app, close it again and open. But all of deleted messages are restored...
    Any ideas how to solve the problem?
    Erase content and restore from backup doesn't work, plus new update has been released today - still the same problem.
    Thanks for the answers!
    Adam.

    Hello Adam,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Given your previous troubleshooting, the next step for this issue is to reinstall iOS.  If that doesn't work, then the next step is to restore to factory settings.  To reinstall please follow the directions outlined below.
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    Have a good one,
    Alex H.

  • My firefox historying is gone after desktop restart

    hi all,sorry to bother yous but for some reason when ever i restart my pc it clears my firefox history.I have firefox on "remember history".I even turned my pc on,googled a few times,then restarted and it was gone,so it carnt be any cleaner programs etc.Im the only one who uses my pc so i like my history stay incase i carnt find a page iv been on before etc.Whys this happening?

    Make sure that you do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the <i>Browsing History</i>.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

  • Contacts duplicated after changig and gone after deleting one of them

  • All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone.  How to get contacts back?

    I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone.  How can I get them back?  Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts?  Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
    When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu.  The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them --->  phone to itunes or itunes to phone.  Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes.  I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost.  If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option.  Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
    By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
    Help.

    Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove.  This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts.  They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

  • Using firefox 7.0.1 in Win XP (SP3), firefox.exe still runs after I exit and I have to end this process in task manager in order to get Firefox to run again. Fix?

    I tried exiting Firefox using the File|exit menu item or just killing the window and (of course) re-booting the computer to see if that fixes the problem. Is this perhaps an incompatibility between the latest version of Firefox and Windows XP? (I do not have a problem like this on my Win 7 Professional (SP1) machine.)

  • IPad Apps not gone after deleted...

    How did an App I deleted from my iPad pop up a box when I started another App?

    I installed an App from Netatmo, a weather station software and later I deleted the App, a few days later I clicked on my weather App ( Aus weather) when a pop up came up before the weather App offering a discount from the Netatmo, which I had deleted days before?

  • Firefox.exe uses too much memory slowing the computer down, what can be done?

    This doesn't happen every time I am using the browser, maybe half of the time. When it does happen it takes a long time for it to clear up. It can slow the computer down even after I have exited out of the program, maybe still not responding because of high memory usage. Is there anything I can do to get Firefox to run smoothly?

    Some updates are better handled by Internet Explorer or the built-in updater, such as any updates from Microsoft's Windows Update or Office Update systems. (These systems are not compatible with other browsers.)
    You can use the "all systems" page to download a full installer and then copy it over to your XP system.

  • Firefox won't start after installing an update from Apple - what to do?

    I am not computer savvy. When I installed a recent update from Apple on my Mac. Firefox won't open. Safari wouldn't either, but an Apple tech led me through steps to fix it. He didn't know what to try for Firefox.
    == right after update was installed and Mac restarted ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1 Safari/533.16

    Then a  clear CMOS would be the next logical troubleshooting step.
    Here is  a link to your motherboard specifications.
    The information on clearing CMOS is at the bottom of the document.
    This is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.
    The problem you are facing is motherboard hardware firmware related.
