Firefox is not showing up at all, I will click on the application and it start to work but then after 2 seconds, its stops working.

I will try to start firefox and then it stops working. It will work for about 2 seconds and then it goes to a blank screen. The screen is transparent and i can see my desk top threw firefox. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and firefox still will not work on my computer. I have run scans on my computer as well to see if it was a virus that was preventing it from running. If anyone could help me I would be very greatful.

hello see-saw-sally, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

  • I just updated my iTunes and now can not access it at all. I click on the icon and it flashes, then nothing.

    Hello,
    I installed the updates that iTunes has been bugging me to install for a long time now and now I can't access iTunes at all.
    Also, my mac is now extremely slow in opening other programs.
    I've rebooted the computer twice.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties​, am I looking in the wrong place?

    I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 w/1315 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?
    I have LabVIEW Express 7.0 Professional - SCXI-1000 Chassiss - along with SCXI-1112, and SCXI 1520/1314 - cable to the PCI-6052E is attached to the 1520 card.
    MAX says it recognizes all the cards in the chassiss.

    Jeremy, Thanks for the reply.
    I tried to set up the system as DAQmx.
    I had MAX auto-detect the set-up - and it recognized all the cards - but did not select the 1315 accessory on the 1540 card - I had to do that manually - but in the configuration section I would select the accessory and it would deselect itself. I had to get out of the set-up and then right click on the 1540 card and click on the "Accessories" tab and select the 1315 terminal block that way.
    It didn't seem right that the system should behave that way, but I pressed onward.
    I then tried to create a new DAQmx Task
    When I create new DAQmx task and then click on Analog Input no "Position" Tab appears for me to select, all I get are:
    Analog>>Voltage
    Analog>>Temperature
    Ana
    log>>Strain
    Analog>>Current
    Analog>>Resistance
    Analog>>Frequency
    Analog>>Custom Voltage with Excitation
    Do you think there might be something wrong with either my hardware or perhaps my configuration that is not allowing it to recognize the 1540/1315 in DAQmx?
    I had included the system report of what programs I am using, etc. as attached file nireport.txt
    After the DAQmx did not work I tried installing everything as Traditional DAQ and it did let me set-up the 1540 Card with Excitation Voltage and Frequency and gain - I then went in to the VI that I had built and tried to use the Express DAQ Assisant to read the channel that I am connected to on the 1315/1540 - when I try to use DAQ Assistant it gives me an error saying that "Device not available in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that the device is being use by traditional NI-DAQ"
    Which I guess it is since both configurations are now set-up in MAX.
    I would PREFER to use the DAQmx set-up, but I am confused as to WHY it won
    't come up with
    Analog input>>POSITION>>LVDT
    When I try to create a new DAQmx task.
    Thanks for the help so far! As you can probably tell I am new at this.

  • Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, unable to click anything or DO anything

    Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, I am unable to click anything or DO anything and it is becoming extremely annoying! Ya'll just released a new version that I'd hoped would have fixed this issue, apparently not...and I also can't select an option in a drop down box, I have to use my keyboard to do so...
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
    IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

    Hi K,
    The fact that cleaning worked once still suggests a dirty lens. Try this alternate cleaning method: Use a credit card, or something similar, and wrap it with an LCD cleaning cloth type product (basically a thin micro-fiber type cloth). Gently slide the "cleaner" in and out a few times in the left side of the optical drive opening. Make sure you can hold onto the cloth so it doesn't get stuck inside the drive. This cleans the lens, which may be all you need.

  • Why are my emails not showing up on iPhone5? Emails are on the servers and show up in Mail on both Macs.

    I added VIP yesterday. Mail was syncing fine at first but now iPhone isn't displaying certain emails. If I search for them by selecting continue on server, they show up; however, once I close the search I can't see the emails in my inbox, VIP, Gmail, Yahoo, etc on my iPhone5. The emails are in the accounts if I login to the accounts on the web and they appear in Mail on my 2 MacBooks. Already did a restore from iCloud and same problem.

    Nevermind. Somehow mail settings on iPhone was on or went back to show 50 recent. Increased to 100 and everything shows up again. Not sure why 'show 50 recent' displays older messages, i.e. email a month old vs. email from yesterday, but whatever it works fine now.

  • Why won't Firefox close, even using Task Manager, unless I right click on the process and select 'end process' ?

    Firefox works fine, but won't respond when I try to shut it down. Using Task Manager to 'End Task' doesn't work. In Task Manager I have to right click on firefox in the Processes menu and click 'End Task'. Apart from logging off/shutting down, this is the only method that works. Also refused to respond when I tried to reset and doesn't respond to commands to change profile settings.

    SOLUTION (possible).
    Hi all. I had this problem as well. I currently run FF26. A week or so ago, out of nowhere FF wouldn't exit - the window would close but firefox.exe process would keep running in the background using about 50% of CPU. Not sure if it's connected, but just prior to that I clicked on a link on Facebook that looked like spam website, nothing happened, site loaded (sort of, all I saw was a msg - Please Wait...) but nothing happened, I have Eset antivirus and it monitors network traffic and files for viruses, so maybe it prevented my PC getting infected...
    So, I had this problem for a few days, was searching the net for solutions, but nothing seem to help. Then, just out of luck I did something that WORKED!
    Here's what I did. I noticed that svchost.exe was using a lot of CPU alongside with FF. I ran ProcessExplorer to see what might be connected to this process, the list was long and I didn't have any idea where to start, so what I did was - Right click on svchost process, choose Debug and dismiss the warning. In a few seconds svchost process quit and after that FF started closing properly.
    I had to re-enable all my plugins and themes I disabled prior, I also lost my history and preferences which I trashed in the process of searching for solution. But heck, it worked, hopefully for good. Now if someone could point out the real cause of this and fix it for everyone - that would be great. Cheers!

  • This is my first time to ask a question, but my iPod touch 4G is not letting me restore and my i have taken it to the apple store and THEY could restore it but then after it shuts off and I can't restore it. Can anyone help me?

    Hi, umm so anyways my ipod is about 2 years old now and i think the reason why it started to malfunction in the first place was because i had too much stuff on my ipod, apps, movies, and junk. But now i took it to the apple store and they were able to restore my ipod but when i go home it goes bad again and i try ot restore it on my laptop and it says it can't restore it. (11) and another thing is that when i try to turn my ipod on, it turns on to the apple logo then all of a sudden theres suppose to be the unlock screen but instead a black screen with a tiny loading sign in the middle and it keeps buffering and it never turns on. and then it shuts off with a white screen and then does the same exact thing for like 10 minutes. please help me. I dont know what to do. and my dad will be very ****** if it cant be helped..D:

  • When I create a new mailbox, it does not appear in alphabetial order.  It appears at the bottom and I have to manipulate it to get it in its proper place.  This apparently started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Any ideas?

    Do you know why new mailboxes I create do not appear in alphabetical order?  They appear below all other mailboxes and I have to manipulate them into their proper place.  This apparently started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Any help would be much appreciated, as it's annoying and time consuming.

  • IDM 8.1 with firefox does not show all GUI items

    Hi,
    we are running IDM 8.1 Patch_5 on Solaris 10. We have 2 instances, Prod & UAT. UAT runs from Tomcat 5, Prod uses Sun Appserver 8.
    But our problem seems to be the Web Client.
    When We lookup a user and then open the tabs for them, for example "Security" Firefox is not showing the
    little boxes that allow you to allocate attributes etc. Instead, we just get the form title and then a blank line.
    I did some reading and noted that there were some Java issues with IDM and Java and Firefox but I cannot apply
    the workaround. I also tried the edit of Waveset.properties and adjusting the baseHref as suggested elsewhere but this
    also does not work.
    We are using Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100627 Firefox/3.6.6
    As you can see this is a SPARC desktop!
    Also Java was tried with v1.5_16 and now currently jdk1.6.0_07.
    Can anyone please assist? This is rather urgent. I will be trying my Mac at home tonight, but we need something
    that works now! Interestingly, this is the first time I have seen this problem. It may be related to Firefox, but I tried using Opera as well
    with the same result.
    Please assist!

    Hi,
    thanks for the information. I doubt we will be modifying the base code of IDM in this way. I am a bit disappointed that a
    Sun product, running on a Sun desktop has this issue, but I think it more of a synergy between Java and Firefox, although
    Opera was basically broken the same way, too.
    Our workaround for now, is to have a separate install of Firefox, which is 3.0.3 and Java 1.5.0_16, which we know work
    and run this as a parallel browser, with a symlink to it as "firefox-idm". This is OK, but not really that good.
    Interestingly, IDM 8.1 displays perfectly on Snow Leopard and G5 Leopard using Firefox 3.6.6 and Java 1.6 on
    Snow Leopard and with Java 1.5 on the G5 release.
    We are thinking of apply IDM patches, but are reticent to do so, if they break any existing functionality......
    Cheers
