Firefox not working at all after defrag

I did a defrag and a system restore to a couple of weeks ago and now i can't use firefox at all. it's still in my computer but doesn't respond. i did a system restore because the new versuion of fire fox caused too many problems with my computer so i wanted to go backl to the older version.

Hi,
You can try to install the latest version after doing a clean uninstall of the old version. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s backup] to backup important pieces of information.
In the Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, look for and uninstall '''Firefox''' or '''Mozilla Firefox''', if present. Next in the Windows Start menu '''Run''', type and enter '''%programfiles%''' and delete the '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' folder. Likewise type and enter %appdata% and delete the '''Mozilla''' or '''Firefox''' folder. You can download the latest Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

  • Satellite A500 fn keys not working at all after windows 7 upgrade

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using Satellite A500 which i just did the windows 7 upgrade (32 bit) yesterday, however, i can no longer use the FN key on the keyboard which i'd use it very often.
    can anybody help??? much appreciated!!
    mav

    Hi, thanks for your reply,
    I'd some search on the forum, however, there're some similar issue, but they are not A500 model, so i m not sure it's reference.
    yeah i did download and install the value added package, and restarted my flash cards, and i did change the setting of the flash card, at least now i can use it by moving my mouse to the top of the screen and they pop up. but yet, the FN key still not working at all.
    i couldnt really find "common modules" or "hot key" to download, could anyone post the link here? if that would make my FN key work just like before?
    Thanks alot!

  • Firefox not working at all

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded mozilla firefox, and installed this as per your website. However, once installed the shortcut for mozilla, is not working. Instead of showing the orange fox/blue symbol, the symbol looks like a square box with a green background and a very miniture list of what would usually pop up when you right click on something. If you double click on the program (too open and use it), an error message comes up and says "Missing Shortcut: Windows is searching for firefox.exe. To locate the file yourself, click Browse." There then is the browse... and cancel button. So in the end firefox doesn't actually work, can you help with this? I have tried to re-download/re-install it however this has not fixed the problem.

    Make sure you keep an eye on the Help | Check For Updates menu. The latest version is 3.6.16 downloadable from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Firefox: Older Versions] but it may be updated from time to time. You always get the choice of whether you want to update to v4.0 or not, so don't be afraid of checking.

  • E-MAIL will not work, at all - after update via PC...

    Device info
    ORANGE UK
    Blackberry 9300
    Bundle 6.0 2534 (v.6.0.0.570, platform 6.6.0212) 
    When i plugged my blackberry into my PC it wanted to update the bundle/version of something on curve, everything was working fine until i updated this... 
    (the bundle 6.0.2534 thing...) 
    Now when I try to set up my e-mail it shows my 3 accounts i had linked with my blackberry (a hotmail, a orange.blackberry, and a gmail) but when i type the password and click "verify" it shows "unable to continue session please log in again"
    I read online that it could be the version of email software I was running, so - i found the most current and i updated that, still; same problem.
    I've battery pulled, i've security wiped, i've done everything I can think of.
    Is there anything I can do, or is this something i'll have to ring ORANGE about?...
    i DO have a blackberry data plan also... 
    Also, it's only personal/internet emails i'm trying to set up not enterprise  

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Mail not working at all after update. :(

    My update installed fine but now my mail isn't working. It spools but nothing new loads.

    I have the same problem. Mail, iPhoto, iWeb, Calender, Reminders and Notes not open after update. Says, "check with the developer to make sure Mail works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application." Also says 
    Dyld Error Message:

  • Mail not working at all after 10.9.3 update

    Does anyone have a fix for this issue? I have tried reinstalling Mavericks as a whole
    and Mail still isn't working. I've also tried zapping the pram and repairing disk
    permissions with no luck. I can use webmail but I really need to access my
    desktop Mail. When I open the program is it is grayed out across the top of
    the screen and no windows come up at all. If I click any of the menus they turn
    black and I can see into all of the drop down menus but a lot of the items are
    grayed out like "new viewer window". If I want to quit Mail, I have to force quit it.

    Before we move you to the new User, let's try nuking files used by Mail and see if we can get Mail working in your User.
    System Preferences > Internet Accounts > Delete all accounts.
    Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
    Rename Mail to MailXX
    Go to Containers in the User's Library folder.  Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
    Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder. If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
    Log in
    Open Mail. Add one account at a time and make sure it is working before adding additonal acounts.
    If you have POP account you can import the "On My Mac" folders from the MailXX folder.
    If this fails, we'll move you into the new User.

  • Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

    OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
    Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
    upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
    websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
    i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
    how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
    i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
    when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
    i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
    i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
    oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
    i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
    i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
    i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
    now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
    until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
    the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
    so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
    thanks muchly :^D
    p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
    i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
    sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

  • Since I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1, it has been constantly freezing up. Now it does not work at all and I am unable to remove my profile. How can I remove my profile if Firefox does not work?

    I finally got so tired of Firefox freezing my computer that I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Upon reinstall, it will not work at all and I am unable to delete my old user profile. Is there any way to get rid of this profile so I can give one last attempt to get Firefox to work before switching permanently to Google Chrome? I really liked Firefox for years until they screwed it up with the recent changes.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
