Can't open Firefox any more. Shows up in processes but never activates. It was coming up yesterday but running at around 120k. Did my updates, tested my plug-ins, extensions, etc. but now can't even use it. Any suggestions?

Firefox was working fine but started having crashes this week. Concurrent with multiple problems I'm having with a new Brother printer with driver downloaded via Firefox. No viruses, no spyware, cleaned cache, deleted cookies - have done everything I can think of. And then today, can't even open Firefox though it does show up in processes at around 30K. Yesterday it was coming up at 100k+ when it was working but was very slow. For example, my email through AOL, it duplicated every email I opened, crippling the whole process. Turned off compatability mode - have done everything suggested via the Firefox site. If I have to reinstall it, is there a way I can save my bookmarks?

You could experiment with giving OBP the absolute path to that USB device, but I doubt you'll be successful. The Sunfire 280R (same hardware as the Sunblade 1000, Sunblade 2000, and Netra 20) design expected USB to be only for keyboard and mouse, not for any storage devices. If booting ever works manually from a USB stick, then you could create a custom alias for the device.
Try an experiment by using a CD or DVD of an older release of Solaris 10 instead of the current release.

The earlier ones need fewer hardware resources. I also recall a few forum posts that seem to suggest the bootblock structure on the CD's and DVD's of those earlier releases was more compatible with older hardware.
You might also need to get yourself a copy of the OBP 4.x Command Reference Manual, document No. 816-1177

Firefox does not open but there is an entry in Task Manager

I've tried upgrading my gf's firefox from 3.6 to 5.0.1
Since then, whenever I click on the firefox shortcut on the desktop, nothing happens. There is an entry in the Task Manager but nothing else happens.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF, even trying 4.0.1 to see if that works but I get the same problem there. Which is what leads me to believe it's a software conflict...the problem is I can't identify what it is and why it only stops versions from 4 upwards!

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to Safari, WebProcess, or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot.

I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch it, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional.

I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional. Never gave an error, no messages, etc. I have disabled all the addons.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

Firefox 8.0.1 will not open. IE will not open as long as Task Manager shows firefox process is running.

Running Vista Ultimate. Yesterday Firefox stopped opening. only change to system was a new video driver for Intel 965 mobile express chipset. AOL 9.6 and IE 8 also stopped opening. When I killed the 2 firefox processes from Task Manager IE 8 opened. But AOL 9.6 is stuck at "updating locations". I tried the troubleshooting page but since most require the application to be open I was not able to try anything except restarting the computer and reinstalling after deleting the Mozilla Firefox folder.

Did you try the solution given in this article?
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]] (applies to Flash 11.3 and above) 
'''Solution 1: If you have RealPlayer installed - update it'''
If that doesn't resolve the problem, maybe something here will help (and let us know what you've tried already)

I can't see firefox. But, In windows task manager, firefox shows as a process but not an application. Icon shows in the tray.

I downloaded and reinstalled firefox to try to eliminate an aggravation- playtopus. Now it doesn't load onto my desktop. I see the icon in the tray. In Task Manager I see firefox listed as a process. But not an application.
tks.

When closing Firefox (v:3.6.13), using the red "close" button, the firefox.exe process remaines at top of the "Windows Task Manager" window and continues to use the majority of CPU time.

After an attempt to close the Mozilla Firefox page, on every occasion, the firefox.exe process is found at the top of the list when ordering the listed 'processes' by CPU time... even though the web page is gone.
If an attempt is made to restart Mozilla, the system declares that the current Mozilla process should be closed.
If the firefox.exe process is explicitly closed in the Task Manager, only then can Firefox be restarted.

Does that also happen if you use File > Exit Firefox?

Firefox is running in the background, but the process can't be ended using the task manager?

The program wouldn't open because it was apparently still running in the background, so I restarted a few times which didn't help. Then I tried using the task manager to end the process but that didn't work either. Then opened the command prompt and used taskkill, then pskill (using the PID number) but neither worked. The problem wasn't with how I was using these commands as they could close any other program I had running, just not firefox.exe*32. Any ideas?

Firefox hangs upon startup, or starts a process but doesn't open the browser.

Within the last couple days, Firefox has had a lot of problems.
When I open it, the window hangs and freezes after a few seconds, if it opens at all. Other times, trying to open Firefox simply won't open the window, but will leave an extra process running in the background that I have to manually shut down via Task Manager.
I have made a fresh profile. I have restarted Firefox. I previously had hardware acceleration checked, and disabled it; still having the same problem. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox multiple times. I have run a scan of my system with Malwarebytes; nothing detected. It's not even generating a crash log. I have looked through the support forums, found people with problems similar to mine, but no solutions posted for them since sometime last month.
Firefox seems to run normally if do an install of version 21, which opens up the browser window. Everything works fine, until I close the browser and then re-open it.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Firefox does not start when I click, but consume a lot of resourcein task manager

Hello,
Since a few days, when I click Firefox, it does not start anymore (browser Windows does not appear anymore).
Also, I noticed that after I click, my computer makes a lot of noise et becomes slow & gets almost blocked: I can see that in the task manager/processes, firefox is there and consume a lot of memory ressources.
Can you help ?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for you reply. What you propose me is to create a new profile and transfer the files from the old profiles to the new.
I am not interested by this option as I want to keep my current profile as I am using programs working on this profile and also have Firefox working on this profile.
But I have a new information which might help. I did not see it during my last tentative but after a few minutes after Mozilla launch, there was like a bug report which were generated.
I copy paste below. Hope that it can help :

Firefox doesn't load webpages at random times, after closing and terminating it in task manager it works again

I just did a fresh install on my computer, and whenever I open firefox and leave it there for a while it would stop loading any web pages. When I close it and reopen FF it tells me that FF is still running and I have to use task manager to end process to reopen FF and it'd for for a while and repeat itself.
Thanks for any help in advance.

HT4796 When I run migration assistant on my PC, I get a message saying windows mail is running and won't let me proceed. Windows Mail is not running. I checked Task Manager's applications, services and processes and found no references to Window's Mail.

Got a new iMac 27" for Christmas (well a little after) and tried using Migration Assistant to transfer some files. I can't get past a window on the PC that pops up indicating Quit Other Programs Before you can transfer your information, the following programs must be shutdown: Windows Mail Close these programs and run Migration Assistant again. If these programs do not appear to be running, restart your computer and try again.
I've rebooted. I've searched Task Manager - Applications, Processes and Services and there are no references to WMail. I don't or haven't knowingly used Windows Mail and Outlook isn't even installed on my PC. Does anybody know how to get around this without using external drives, USB flashdrives, etc.

Lots of fun.... The superdrive in my Macbook seems to have gone off kilter since my install. Now the CD-R won't work regardless of which operating system I use. Normal CD's and DVD's are fine, but any CD-R is taken as a blank disk.
Using an external CD drive solved this problem.

Firefox will not launch, unable to open profile manager.

When I try to open Firefox, my (taskbar?) shows that firefox is trying to open, but then it disappears, does not open, and no error message is visible. I am unable to access the profile manager via terminal as directed on the troubleshooting guides.

I don't think you did anything wrong. You have the same symptoms that a number of us have seen. Looks like a bug. I am guessing that the beta testers for Lion Server were mostly power users that didn't make many changes through the new server.app. Those of us that are rookies that are trying to setup home servers for iTunes, software updates, etc. are running into problems with the set-up. No solutions that I am aware of have been found yet.

I'm having trouble making purchases from my iPad....it's says its processing but doesn't go thur...this happened after I updated to iOS

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
