Firefox on my laptop has stoped . it wont even open to let me use it

turned laptop on this morning as usual

turned machine of a few times but still nothing
7 hours later still nothing

hello keuch, such issues are often caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

Just downloaded Firefox - and IT WOT WORK. It wont even open up it's own support pages, I just get "secure conection failed" msgs no matter what page-USELESS!

I've just downloaded and istalled Firefox. IT WILL NOT WORK. No matter what site I try open up (included Firefox's OWN support site) I get the following:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to support.mozilla.org. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
The only reason I installed this is because an academic site I need to use requires Firefox ( my IE 10 is not compatible apparently). This is the MOST useless browser I have ever tried! I mean common SERIOUSLY? I haven't even changed settings, installed add ons, or anything! So whats the point of this browser if you need to be a computer WHIZZ in order to fix it before you can use it? OMW!
I have already reinstalled the damn thing but still useless....

Hope this is useful, though I still think it's silly something so "good" should be SUCH an effort to get to work... I'm almost over the effort already> As I said, if it wasn't for the fact that my academic website can only USE Firefox I would have deleted it and not even bothered trying to resolve....

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Help?

After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Usually non-text confirm type links. Like to enter an account.
One Example below. I can't click open the 'My Account' button at the top: http://www.boostmobile.com/
I also miss the Google toolbar. I used it frequently.
I am ready to revert to an older version of Firefox.

I did't have a problem clicking on the link. It is JavaScript perhaps you have JavaScript turned off Tools > Options > Content or perhaps NoScript extension.
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
*Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5 http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
*the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

After Downloading 10.4..my itunes wont even open on my computer..anyone know the solution to this?

After downloading 10.4 my itunes wont even open on my computer..we have tried different things to see if it will open, downloaded it again..and still it wont open.

Final Cut Pro wont even open anymore HELP!!!!

I'm panicking like crazy here. I don't know what's happened but I went to open FCP 5.1 tonight and it wont even open any more. I click on the file in the applications section and it momentarily blinks in the dock and then just vanishes and doesn't open and I dont know what I can do to fix this. I've emptied the prefs file and that didnt help so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do next
please please please help....i need this program for my work

Trash your system preferences and see if that works.

I am unable to open images in Develop Mode in Lightroom 5.4. I keep getting system crashes. Now they wont even open images up at all in any mode.

I have Lightroom 5.4 under the CC from Adobe. EVerytime i opened an image up in Develop mode, the program would crash and Microsoft would tell me its stopped working. After playing around with it, now it wont even open up images in ANY of the modes, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH LIGHTROOM ?!?

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

My iTunes is not working, it wont even open

My iTunes is not working, it wont even open. It bounces up and down and then stops.

Hello Gabriellevanderelst
Start with testing iTunes in a different user on your iMac and see if it opens. You may just need to reinstall iTunes to resolve the issue.

My itouch camera will not work. SOmethimes the shutter wont even open. other times it opens but the camera doesnt show anything but a black screen. how do i fix this???

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

Itunes wont even open. Double click = hour glass spin then nothing..

I'm having a problem with itunes8. When I doubleclick on the desktop icon, or access itunes from any shortcut or the direct EXE the mouse cursor turns into the hourglas for about 3-5 seconds, goes back to normal cursor, then nothing happens. itunes wont even pop up. I get no error messages, and I DONT get the BSOD like most are reporting problems getting. I get NOTHING at all.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the newer updated itunes8 installer and that still will not work. I also had itunes 7.7 downloaded from the other week before 8 was released, it does the same thing. It wont run either..
I was on the line with tech support last night (iphone tech, not itunes tech; they were closed) and we tried removing ALL startup items, installing, ect and it still did not work.
Does anyone have any idea whats up?

Yes, I've tried that guide..
I spent 3 hours with tech support over the last few days and they have no idea what it could be
I've also:
disabled firewalls completely PLUS adding all Apple applications to exception list just in case
done COMPLETE uninstall of ALL apple products plus used microsoft install cleaner then reinstalling
tried booting up with NO startup items whatsoever and no services except microsoft services
Installed quick time separately first, then itunes
tried installing itunes 7.7
I thought MAYBE it was because I'm running a custom version of XP (Bariski edition) so I installed itunes 8 on my other computer which is running the plain old XP SP2 from MS and it actually did the exact same thing. It "pretended" (as i like to say) to load itunes then never popped up.

HT1923 itunes has stoped and wont install on my laptop

it has gone funny and wont install on my new laptop

That's a rarer variation on this sort of problem.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I have added download helper and Firefox will NOT down load vidoes, videos wont even start to download

I have downloaded addons download helper. when I select a video to down load a blank scree appears where video should be and the three rotating balls stop moving and I cant down load anything. I have restarted Firefox and Laptop each time. This has happened several times in the past and its worked before.

Is Help > Check for Updates greyed-out in Firefox? 
If that option is available, have you clicked on it to have it check for an update from Mozilla? 
If it is greyed-out, you probably have a version of Firefox that came with your Linux distro. Those versions of Firefox aren't updated through Mozilla, but rather through your distro's program repository with the other programs that came with that distro or were installed from the repository. Use System Tools > Updates (or wherever in your Menus that your distro has system updates) to check for Updates.

What does firefox.exe-application error mean? Firefox wont even open it just says this, and then click okay to terminate the problem.

When I go to open up Firefox, it does not open no matter what I try It just pops up this box that says Firefox.exe - application error.
Then it says the Instruction at "0x798377a9" referenced memory at "0x798377a9". The memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to termintate the program
What does this mean? And why cant I use Firefox. I can still use internet explorer just fine.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
