When i click on firefox it loads but then nothing comes up and it doesent work

Is the Windows 8.1 system you posted from the one with the problem, or is the problem on a different system? In that case, I assume it's also Windows.
Does Internet Explorer work normally or are all browsers affected?
Did this problem start shortly after any software changes, such as:
* Windows update
* installation of new software
* updates to add-ons
In case the problem is your firewall configuration (for firewall software that blocks programs from accessing the internet), please see: [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]].
In case the problem is unwanted software or malware, please see: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

Mail loads but then the program doesnt respond.

When I open mail, It loads but then it stalls. I have to force quit it. Last thing I did was receive mail and then next time I opened it it crashed. How do I solve this problem?

Hi aseng, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Quit Mail. Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then...
In your Home folder. open Library folder, open Mail folder in that, look for the Envelope Index, and drag it to the Desktop.
Then in your Home folder. open Library folder, open Caches folder in that, look for the Mail, and drag it to the Desktop.Move Envelope Index to the Desktop in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Move this folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Restart your Mac. Try Mail.

When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login.

When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login.
Iv tryed this numerious times still keeps going back to pasword. Can not get any further. Tried restart holding shift key.. still nothing. What do i do?

Thank you for your help.
I couldnt get to the hard drive/ desktop. Soft login not even working. So i could not do any of that.
In the end i took it to Apple and its actually the hard drive on its way out. A common issue with that series of Mac. Funny seeing i dont use this mac much. However being 2.5 years old and out of warrently, Apple have recognise this issue with this series/ Model and installing a new hard drive at no cost.
Very luck and greatful. And not feeling so dumb that it was something i did or could troubleshoot myself.
Hope this helps others that it just might be your hard drive failing.

I turn on my computer, click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, the web browser appears but the same screen always appears and says, "Well this is embarrassing" and says the problem is due to a previously opened tab.

I am online everyday. I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon. A web browser appears but not with my Yahoo! homepage. Instead of seeing my Yahoo! homepage I see a screen that says, "Well this is embarrassing." I read that the problem is due to a recently opened tab. It gives me the options of either restoring all previously used tabs from the last time of use or starting a new session. If I choose to restore previous tabs, I am further given the option to select which tabs I want restored and which ones I don't want to restore. I always choose to start a new session because all previous tabs consist of work that I have completed in the past (whether it be yesterday or the day before). I, therefore, have no interest in restoring a tab that contained an article about our current economic situation for example. As previously stated, I choose to start a new session every time I receive the "Well this is embarrassing" error message. When I choose this option, I am brought to a fresh tab with no information regarding work, articles, or entertainment from yesterday or some time in the past. I wish to have an explanation as to why this happens. I do not go on any malicious web sites or anything of the sort. This happens every single day. The automatic error message that appears is "Well this is embarrassing." For Firefox to say "Well this is embarrassing" is not close to the response it should give.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

When i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why

I have two inconviniences with fire fox..
1)when i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why it happens?
2) every time when adobe flash player is updated, it shows flash player can't be installed and it crashes! it says 'disable real player' though i never installed real player!!
plz Let me know why it happens to me????

1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

PS CC, loads but then crashes before i can do anything. any ideas as to what i could do?

I havent run PS CC for a couple weeks, and I have not changed anything on my computer that i am aware of (is a brand new build).
Today, I went to mess around with PS and possibly edit some images but it woulndt load properly. Well, it loads but then crashes (just closes) before I can do anything. A couple times i got a pop up indicating it cant connect to the adobe servers (not that you need net service to use the program of course) but i dont even get that popup anymore.
This is *really* ticking me off. I dont use a firewall, but do use eset node32 antivirus 2014. never set the firewall in that eithe (not really sure how to since they changed things since the last time i bought that program). windows firewall is set, but adobe it set to go through it
LR5, PSE12, Premiere pro CC - they all load no problem but PS CC does not load properly.
Ive run malware bytes, did a reset/boot of the computer so far. the only program Ive noticed issues with is PS CC.
ANY ideas?

Interclue fails to initalise upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time.

Interclue fails to initialize upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time. What would cause this situation. Never had problems with this add-on with Firefox until I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I can disable, re-start, enable,re-start, and it works fine. The same scenario holds true if I uninstall and then re-install add-on.

Just a guess, but I wonder if you have some application or process hanging up that's stopping it from shutting down? You might try closing each application individually and see if this helps.
Good luck!

Youtube loads but then when i click on a video it doesent play. it worked fine the other day and in the past and suddently it doesnt work. please help!!!!!!

When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login. What should I do?

I was having some problems with my mac, safari and itunes was freezing alot. I have to force shutdown and when I tried to start up again i get to the login page, type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue for a few seconds and it goes back to the log in screen. What should I do?
Please Help!!

Somewhat similar problem:
Put in the password, hit enter, the screen goes blue for half a second, then goes back to login screen and carries on logging in as usual. Drives me mad. It doesn't happen with a fresh Lion installation, nor if booted into safe mode. On the machine in question it also happens to new user accounts.
I've removed all login items, including Startup Items and Launch Demons (pun intended) and Agents, I've compared system login plists with a fresh Lion installation - can't see differences. I've removed Little Snitch and PeerGuardian (no more third party kexts).
@Carolyn: I've done disk maintenance with DiskUtility and fsck and even DiskWarrior, cleaned caches, etc. etc.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Sorry for trying to hijack the thread (as it's not about Lion), but it seemed dead anyway.

Unfortunately, not much to go on here. There are any of twenty different reasons why backups are not occurring, and no shortcuts that I know of to find out why.

BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open

Purchased BlackBerry today.
BlackBerry Desktop Software installs from distribution disc but then fails to open. Can see it in Windows Task Manager>Processes, as follows:
Windows Task Manager>Processes
Image Name: DesktopMge.exe CPU: 00 Mem Usage: 7,764 K
Windows Task Manager>Applications
Not listed!
I UNISTALLED previous installation of BlackBerry Desktop Software, including user settings.
Downloaded and installed the installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, but with same result. Uninstalled it, too.
As suggest elsewhere in this forum, I made directory as follows: C:\INSTALL\Blackberry
Then extracted the downloaded installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, into it.
Then started installation by clicking on “BlackBerrySetup.exe”.
However, the result is the same, as described above. BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make this software work.
Is there alternative software available?
Solved!
