Firefox opens three sided frame when you open it. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help.

Firefox 5 cannot load properly. When it loads, it opens a blank frame with three sides showing (left, bottom, right). I say the frame is blank because it shows the blank desktop color inside the frame. Uninstall and reinstall was not successful.
No crash id available as I cannot get an interface.
Using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Toshiba laptop.
I have a screenshot available if there is somewhere to post it.
Other browser applications work with no problems.

-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down SHIFT key while Starting Firefox
-> As an alternative method, press '''Win + R''' keys and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:
firefox -safe-mode
OR
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
Check and tell if its working.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a QuickTime program file there.
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "QuickTime" and then click "Repair".
Does the repair go through okay? If so, are you able to launch iTunes and/or Safari now?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

Cant start firefox. Uninstall and reinstall don't help

It seems I got a virus that stopped firefox from opening and created ad pop ups on explorer everytime I open a new window. No software detects and corrects the virus so I restored the computer to before the infection but firefox still won't open even after I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I prefer not to use explorer for web browsing. How do I get firefox to open again?

hello SherryHB, please try to run a full scan of your system with alternative security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] which are specialised in removing adware and browser hijackers...

ITunes won't open or uninstall and reinstall

I recently tried to download iTunes 10 but a part of it didn't download right and now when I press iTunes it says, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Then when I try to uninstall it says the installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file. And when I just try to download it again from apple.com it doesn't let me download it. I just recently bought an iPod touch and I haven't been able to do anything with it because of iTunes, so any help would be really appreciated.

I am also having this problem. Only started tody.
Origially I couldn't open the program as whenever I tried the shortcut or the file it came up with a message that said it had been moved.
So I uninstalled and then re-downloaded the setup files and re-installed.
Now I get the message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I cannot uninstall or re-install either, this gives the message:
"The Installer has insufficient priviledges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\Acknowledgements.rtf.
Please help!

Firefox 19 will not start in any mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled with out effect. Win7 w/updates, ZoneAlarm AV and FW. ATI 6570 w/updates

Yesterday, FF 19 stopped working on one of two similar desktops. Initially it did start in safe mode but it doesn't any longer. Removed the application multiple times with Window's control panel and Revo Uninstaller. Original application directory deleted and registry scanned for remnants.

On my home computer Firefox comes up and after about 30 seconds all the words on the display look like 'cuss' words in a cartoon. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled-didn't help.

The words are mostly not readable.
I had McAfee run a scan for viruses - didn't find any.
Someone told me my bitmap was screwed up. I don't
know what that is.
The pictures look fine - you just can't read the words under them.
I have run programs like Glary that supposedly fixes various
problems with the registry and start up files - didn't help.
I have shut down the computer and restarted it several times
- didn't help.

I'm sorry.
I tried several times yesterday and to day to get a screen print of the
Firefox home page.
I even got it to print out but I couldn't get the scanner at work to
scan it. Oh well...
Any the words look like this:
!@#%^&'the !@#$%^&'top
!@#$%^&'Romney !@#$%^'retakes
Does that help at all?

Firefox crashes several minutes after opening every time I use it. I think Firefox was updated shortly before this started. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. Updating all plug-ins has also had no effect. Would appreciate help fixing this.

Browser starts out working normally but within a few minutes it freezes, stops responing and I have to close it using Task Manager. When I open Task Manager, it shows two Firefox programs running with different icons even though I only opened one window.

iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
A virus
or
Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.

After Upgrade to latest iTunes, it will not open.Uninstall and reinstall did not help Getting this error message '' Runtime Error R6034 '' An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly''. 3 windows PCs.1 vista, 2 windows7 7

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 11.1.4, after a prompt from the iTunes store. But will not open after the upgrade. One of three error messages told me to reinstall. I did. Restarted and scanned. But no help there. So I unistalled and re installed from Apples' website. The installation was okay as usual but still will not open. Keep getting the same error messages. '' Runtime Error R6034, '' '' An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information.'' That's the error messages I get when I try to open the New installed iTunes 11.1.4. Right now there is no iTunes on any of my PCs. Installed but will not open. Please Help.Thanks.

I had access to firefox and now can't call it up. When I try to uninstall and reinstall, I still can't access it. Any ideas what I've done? Tnx.

That about sums it up. Don't recall anything specific that led to this.

Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer.
Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I cannot get Firefox to come up. It says it is running but cannot find it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Please help.

When I try to bring Firefox up it does not show that it is. If I shut my computer down it will come up the first time and as long as I leave it open it is okay. When I log out it does not come back up the next time. I am not having trouble with Chrome or Explorer.

The Firefox Home app for iOS is not the Firefox browser but rather for to synce with your desktop Firefox to have your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and open tabs on your iPhone/iPad.

We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.

Firefox states it is already running yet won't open even after I uninstalled and reinstalled

Hi,
I was having problems with Mozilla when I'd go to Facebook it would show the page but within seconds I would get check6 (can't remember the rest) error page.
So I went to help, restart Firefox. It was at this for about an hour and I knew there was a problem so chose to end process in task manager.
Since then I haven't been able to open Firefox:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system".
I uninstalled Firefox using Revo Uninstaller and deleted all leftover files, restarted my computer and installed Firefox, but the problem still remains.
I tried looking through previous questions and noticed I do no have a profile folder which may be needed to delete a lock file....
Any help much appreciated! thanks

I had this problem yesterday, actually. You can solve it, but you will lose all firefox data you didn't back up. Then again, because you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I assume this isn't an issue.
Assuming you've installed windows on the C drive:
Go to C://Users/yourname/AppData
If you cant find it, go to your display settings (I hope I translated this correct; I use the Dutch version of Windows) and make sure that hidden files and filders are not being... well, hidden. Shocking plottwist, I know.
If all goes well, you should now see three folders named Local, Localrow and Roaming.
Now go to Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox and delete everything thats in there. Now you have an empty FireFox folder, which will force Firefox to start up as if it was never installed before.
Done! :)
P.S. Now that you have a fresh new install, save yourself a lot of future pain and install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync Xmarks] for your bookmarks and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager LastPass] for your passwords. These add-ons will keep your data safely on their servers, where it is yours to backup and download anywhere in the world.
Also, if you have about three milion add-ons and personas/themes and you don't want to hunt hem down again everytime you reïnstall Windows or buy a new system, get [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe FEBE] to save a copy of them for you. And if you really want to backup like a pro, install [https://www.dropbox.com/ DropBox] (not an addon) and tell FEBE to store its files there, so you can still retrieve them if your house happens to burn down.
Xmarks, LastPass and FEBE: the holy trinity of Firefox backups :P
