  • When I try to open Firefox, it shows in the tray, but will not open to desktop. This just started recently, and I removed Firefox and reinstalled it, to no avail.

    I am afraid Spy Bot might have removed something necessary . . .

    Consider the Mcrosoft Office:Mac forums as well:

    Here is an MS page that deals with that error message:

  • IWork apps start but will not open a doc nor start a new doc. Just quits!

    I have just bought a new 15" Macbook pro with Mavericks. It has Pages, Numbers and Keynote (apparantly) installed.
    I have updated to Mavericks 10.9.2 and the Appstore offered updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote which I did.
    However, when I start any of these apps, the relevent menu appears, the relevent icon appears on the dock but that is all!
    The 'New' menu item does nothing. The 'Open' item opens a file selection window but after selecting a (relevent) file the app
    quits with a message 'Pages (or Numbers or Keynote) quit unexpectedly'. Even the 'About' menu does nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  (I have sent a report to Apple - but don't really expect any response.)

    For anyones info . . .
    I solved this problem myself.
    I removed all iwork apps.
    I was unable to re-install iwork apps because the Appstore insisted they were already installed !
    So . . .
    1. Use 'CleanMyMac' and remove ALL trace of iwork, pages, numbers and keynote
    2. Install iWork 09 - I borrowed a coleague's DVD
    3. Install iwork 09.3 update - as above
    4. The Appstore then re-offered a Pages, Numbers and Keynote update
    5. Do the updates
    Voila! - the apps now work OK

  • Firefox opens only on taskbar-will not open on desktop

    after uninstalling and reinstalling on windows 8,firefox still only opens on the taskbar where I can view it in thumbnail but when I click on the taskbar firefox icon it will not open up to full desktop view. I know it is open because I can hover over taskbar icon and thumbnail view appears.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Firefox Browser window will not open or start.

    Sorry that this is long, but I wanted to make sure you knew as much as you needed to know.
    I click on the icon in my Windows taskbar, and the firefox browser window will not open.
    This was not the first of my problems. At first, Firefox would open immediately, but soon afterward, it began to slow, and soon, it took around 10-15 seconds for the browser window to start.
    Now it won't start at all.
    I will admit that I go all addon-happy on Firefox, but these extensions have never been a problem before. Here is the list:<br />
    <pre>ReaditLater
    ReloadEvery (this one doesn't work anymore, but I did have it once)
    Ookong
    PriceBlink
    StumbleUpon
    SimilarWeb
    WOT
    XMarks (I didn't use it much)
    NoScript (I recently uninstalled that one, but that might have a factor in it. That thing was WAY too powerful!)
    CoolIris
    CoolPreview
    AdHacker
    AdBlock
    AdBlockPlus
    PersonasExpression
    AntBar
    ABE (I'm not sure if this was an extension, but I know that there was
    alot of security-type addons from the Paranoid Kit, which is a
    list of addons on the addons webpage.)
    </pre>
    Oh yeah, one more thing! <br />
    I recently installed a GameVance installation thing. I'm not sure what it did, but could've had a virus in it that surpassed my security. I use Avast, if that's important at all. That thing was hard to uninstall, so I had to go back to the site to get the uninstallation software.
    I tried to use the firefox.exe -ProfileManager thing, but it kept crashing, so it was useless.
    Please help me fix this. I love Firefox. It's the only browser that allowed you to use the most addons! Plus, ALL MY STUFF IS ON THERE! I'd hate to have to change browsers (and I REFUSE to use Internet Explorer!)

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

    Sorry Chris but I don't even get that far - after download latest Firefox - I cannot get the installation to work. I get dialogue box with "0% extraction" then nothing also cannot get Opera to install. The installation stalls at the same point of extracting the download. The only browser to work is IE8. I think it is more a Java problem as everything worked Ok until I took a Java upgrade.

    Hi, Ken -
    Since you have a new install of OSX, you may be missing Stuffit Expander, needed to expand downloads encrypted/archived in a Stuffit format. That problem confronted me with a new machine running OSX 10.6; a download and install of Stuffit Expander fixed it.
    You can download Stuffit Expander from this webpage -
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander-download.html
    Note - be sure to get the version that matches your OSX version.

  • edited by host HARD DRIVE ICON WILL NOT OPEN ON DESKTOP WHEN CLICK

    my HD will not open on desktop when i click on it. For 4 years i had no problem on this every.
    why does this happen now?
    what is wrong with the icon?
    could my HD start becoming bad?
    what are some signs that i should be "aware of" is this one?

    You might try booting from DVD or another drive and running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior.
    Or Single Users Mode (command s on startup) and follow on-screen instruction command
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    to repair your boot drive
    ... or a Safe Boot with shift key held down.
    Corrupt prefs, directory, could be a number of small or major things.
    But, in any case, make sure you have backups, and a bootable backup clone, maybe an emergency boot drive as well (install OS X on another drive if you don't have one now).

  • Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

    Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

    . I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
    exactly how did you delete these photos?

  • Firefox 3.6 will not open more than one time after creating new profile

    Just upgraded to newest version of firefox and it will not open...
    I have gone to "terminal" and created a new profile; firefox opens...but then if I quit out and try to reopen firefox, it does not open.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • My Microsoft Word Starter 2010 will not open

    My Microsoft Word Starter 2010 will not open at all. Every single time I click on the icon in the start menu or on the desktop, this window opens and says "Click to Run Configuration Failure". What does that mean. Why won't it open? Please help
    me, before I start uninstalling things in my control panel. 

    Hi,
    When you see the error "Click to Run Configuration Failure", please try a repair of the install from Control Panel -> Programs and Features:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/update-repair-or-uninstall-office-click-to-run-products-HA010382089.aspx
    Or we should re-associate Office file, such as .docx file:
    1. Open Default Programs from Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs.
    2. Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
    3. Click .docx file type.
    4. Click Change program.
    5. Choose Microsoft Word as default program.
    6. Click OK.

    I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.
    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and  download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
    Thanks
