Firefox is not working after restart. Need to reinstall every time I am starting PC.

Hello everyone,
I was happily using Firefox untill few days ago. Since then Firefox takes about five minutes to start (you cant see in taskbar or Application in task manager, just in Processes in task manager). When it finaly opens the first window it is not responding and there just blank window). It does the same in safe mode.
I tried to reinstall it several time, with deleting every Firefox related files on computer (following every relevant instruction from Support). I tried to backup my profile and start with new one after reinstall. Every time with same result: Firefox works perfectly after reinstall (even when I transfer files from old profile, every bookmark is right), but when I restart computer the problem is back.
I checked PC for malware and viruses by Avast, there should be now collision with other software since I did not install anything recently. I have cleaned registres, cache and cookies with CCleaner.
I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Lenovo E430, everything worked perfectly for half a year. Only problem I can relate to is a warning message about low free space on system drive, which occured at the same time problems with Firefox started (but it is now even true, I have 5 GB of free space on system drive).
I found other unresolved topics, one of them with same system configuration as mine.

Any suggestions before I desperately change to Firefox Portable?

Why not install and try Firefox portable, it may well be a good troubleshooting step. Try running it from an external memory stick.
The threads you referred to
* [/questions/956861] was closed but never solved
*[/questions/958824] similar
Some system information would help
*How much RAM is installed ?
*What is the total size of the Hard Disk Drive ?
*What is the current amount of free-space in GB ? and as a percentage ?
I try not to use Windows but certainly at one stage a rule of thumb was 20-25% free space should be available. Under about 12% defragging of a disk would likely fail. A page file would need to be larger than the amount of RAM maybe 1.5X , and a hibernate file would be the size of the RAM.
* Do not Hibernate if you are low on HDD space.
I suggest you proceed as follows
#Answer the above questions. I worry you have a lack of diskspace.
#Do a full scan with multiple and up-to-date anti-malware tools. Do not rely on Avast alone. No tool picks up everything. Report back what you scanned with and what was found.
#Backup and keep whatever profiles may be good or may contain recent information such as passwords and bookmarks, but do not use them yet.
#Download a new installer then Do a clean reinstall of Firefox, ensuring that the program folders are deleted before you re-install.
#Now restart, you expect the first restart to work. Close down and try again does it now work OK ?
The detailed instructions in the thread you read [/questions/958824#answer-436552] should help you.
If you have continuing problems is this after a restart of Firefox, or a restart of the Windows Operating System ?

PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
Does anyone know more about this issue?

Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
Got any more suggestions?
Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

Changed Password Not working after restart[What to do]

Recently I've changed my password, but it's not working after restart.
I've noticed that, input option is not taking one of the password characters which is '!'.
I've the recovery disks, system accepts my fingerprint too.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Let me explain you what happened.
One evening I was trying to open my ThinkPad. Usually it asks for
fingerprint or password(I'm not sure which password, power-on/hard
drive). But this time I failed using my finger. and I tried with
password, but could not recall.
Then I restart and again tried with finger, this time it worked. Now
after login in Windows XP I removed all old fingerprints and create
few new. When I create new, it was asking for password, or new
password to replace. As I could not recall the pass, I've given new
password to replace.
Now to check I gave a restart. Fingerprint accepted for Power-on but
also asking for password again(Now I can see it's for Hard Drive). I
tried with new password. But it's not working. And even not taking one
character ('!') of the password.
Now can you tell me, if I did change password for Hard Drive in the
last description. Or is that possible to change it from Windows XP
environment. Else it's possible that the Hard Drive password remain as
it was which has been set from ThinkVantage before OS boot. Let me
know if you've any query which I've missed.
Thanks.

I reset my iPhone 5s yesterday because my fingerprint bottom is not working. It says that failed every time I was trying to put my print... Now that I reset my phone the fingerprint pass code do not appear in the setting.

Hi Emilemny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.

Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Firefox does not work after update to 3.6.6 (and all later revisions)

(EDIT: I found the exact revision from which the Firefox is not starting, it is 3.6.6 so I changed them throughout this post, previous revision value was 3.6.8)
I am using Windows 7 x64
After Firefox recently updated to 3.6.6 it does not work any more. The application is listed in task manager but it does not do anything. There is no user interface or anything. Only way to interact with it is "End process". Starting in safe mode or starting Profile manager is not possible.
I tried all possible and suggested solutions in mozilla KB, this and other forums but without success (windows safe mode, firefox safe mode, renaming firefox, waiting, checking for firewall or malware/virus issues, deleting profile, uninstall, clean reinstall and every possible combination of those that I could think of). Always the same result, no error message, firefox shown in task manager and that's it.
When I do clean install of all later firefox revisions starting from 3.6.6 the problem remains, including latest Firefox 4 beta6.
I have no issues with any firefox versions on my Vista laptop, so I would guess that something in my windows environment is not suitable for newer versions of firefox.
As I cannot find official older 3.6.x revision of Firefox, I am currently using 3.5.13 and it works flawlessly.
Any help is appreciated, I ran out of ideas.

You can try a direct connection and select No Proxy in the connection settings.
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
Also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Dll soes not work after restart teststand

Hi NI Team,
I have an issue whereby i am using a 3rd part dll to program a device. At 1st it is able to program correctly using the designated dll. But after i've restart the teststand, it still able to point to the dll, but seems like the dll is not working as it should be. In order to make it work again, I need to change the dll path to another location in order to make it work.
I've attached the following
Sequence.jpg
- Shows the module configuration
return_result.jpg
- Shows the return result of a weird return as the suppose return result suppose to be "1" or "0"
Please do advice. Thanks

Hi There - Thanks for the reply,
The problem i am facing is the dll that i am using does not work as it should after restart teststand, unless i change the path or point the dll to another new path. The error that i am getting is, the return result shows that it can't open the file path that that has been defined in the dll call path name parameter. The weird thing is, the dll able to work (able to point to the right image again ) after i point the dll to another path, meaning if i create a new folder then dump in the same dll inside the folder and point the dll to new folder it able to work. But i will see the same problem again after i restart teststand. In terms of unloading the dll, i have tried the run options to unload module either after step end or sequence end. But the problem still exists.....

Microphone does not work after restarting computer

I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
Sennheiser PC350 headset
Windows XP Home Edition
The newest version of Ventrilo

That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

Firefox is not working after upgade to vesion 4

I have Windows XP installed on my PC toshiba satelit 200 serie,
I use french version firefox, After instalation of the new fiefox 4 it's not working (but Googole Chrome and IE are O.K.)

did you really get the phone into the dfu mode? The phone must be off to get it into this mode. So just switch off normally if possible. Then hold down the home button and connect to the usb cable and don't release the button until the "Connect to itunes" symbol appears on the screen. You should then be able to restore your phone. In case you cant switch off the phone try the following first (resetting and turning off)
Hold the sleep/reset + home button until the "apple" appears twice and the screen goes black. Make sure the phone does not reboot ! If it reboots try again

Firefox will not respond after restarting my computer after making changes in the cookies and history settings

I make some changes with cookies and cleared my history for today...and then restarted my computer...now firefox will not open...will not respond...should I uninstall firefox and then reinstall it?
If I uninstall firefox will the changes I made with the cookies and my history be reversed?
If I were to uninstall and then reinstall firefox will I loose my bookmarks if I do this? or does firefox remember them...so when I reinstall the previous bookmarks are reinstalled too?

Does Firefox starts up when you first open it after rebooting the computer but hangs the next time you try to start it? If so, then there's a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005487 bug] in Firefox 29 where Firefox hangs on exit when the setting "Clear history when Firefox closes" is selected, so that you get an "already running but not responding" error the next time you ttry to start it. In that case, end the firefox.exe process in the Windows Task Manager (or reboot the computer) then reset your Firefox Privacy options and UNCHECK the option "Clear history when Firefox closes". See this article for details:
[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the problem and Firefox still not open even after rebooting the computer then try starting in Firefox Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. If Firefox starts then see the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to narrow down the cause.

Firefox history not working after restoring profile from backup

Hi,
My Firefox profile was inadvertently deleted when I uninstalled Waterfox. I had a backup of all profile data from the day before, and restored that. Am running Windows 7, so restored Users > Username > AppData > Local > Mozilla and Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Mozilla.
Since the restore, Firefox history no longer works - all past history is gone, and worse, no history of new browsing is created. Cookies and saved passwords were restored and are working correctly.
Any idea on how I can get Firefox history to work again?
Thanks!

Sounds that the copy of places.sqlite that you restored is corrupted.

Mail not working after restart

Last night I decided to shut down my iMac overnight. I usually don't but just decided too. Well, when I restarted this morning and tried to open Mail app I got a error reading
"You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
what does this mean?
I also see that the OLD iTunes icon pops up in my dock when I reboot, along with the NEWER icon (which works fine). Why would that happen? Why would BOTH be there?
I ALSO notice some other programs are missing EVERY time I restart/shut down then restart my Mac, like Skype. Why does this happen???
Help.
Thanks.

it is a 2.7GHz intel core iS and the version is OS X 10.9.

Firefox is not working after restart. Need to reinstall every time I am starting PC.
