Firefox starts but won't open

downloaded beta v 4, worked for a while then stopped. When i start firefox, it starts in task manager with some cpu, then cpu goes to zero. Firefox never actually opens. Can not open profile manager either.
Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, uninstalling and deleting all files from registry, uninstalling bitdefender, skype. Tried every thing i have read on internet, still wont run. Tried installing versions 3, that didn't work but version 2 does. Please help i can't live with out this program, im sure you understand.

Thunderbird did it's part. it handed the URL to Firefox.
You control how Firefox behaves in the options of Firefox.

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

Macbook pro starts but won't open

I have a problem with my macbook pro - everytime I press the power on button it starts up and the apple and timer come on and you can hear it whirring but then it turns off and restarts again and the same thing happens? Could someone help me?
Thank you
Emma

I'll quickly butt in before I go to sleep
The Mac keeps OSX and your settings and data separate, so an Archive and Install replaces the old system folder with a new one, and then copies all of your settings etc so that the new one works as the old one did. It should look like it did before - although you'll have to run software update to update the new system.
The old system folder is preserved just in case you need to access it - it's a good idea to make sure the new one is working fine before deleting it. You may well need the Leopard dvd to get the archive and install option - you can't do it going from Leopard to Tiger.
Cheers.

I did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open how do i get it to open & get my tabs back

i did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open. how do i get it to open? The reason I got rid of the update is because it would not create multipal tabs of the same website, & i lost my tabs to boot. can anyone help with this?

*Press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
*Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
*Open the URL in a new tab by using Alt + Enter on the highlighted entry.
*Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
If you use a system restore then you have the risk that not all files are reverted to previous versions and you most likely have corrupted your Firefox installation.<br />
You will have to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
Your personal data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure not to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox starts, but fails to display websites with no error message.

Firefox starts, but when it tries to connect to a real website, i.e. google.com, mozilla.com, etc. it just... doesn't. There is no error message. There is no progress bar. No "Loading...". Nothing. It just continues to say "Untitled" in the tab name.
I tried updating to the latest firefox version. I tried reinstalling firefox. I tried creating a new profile. I tried clearing cache/cookies/etc. Nothing I did caused any change.
I have noticed that if I attempt to type in a random string of characters (clearly not a real website) or a made-up ip address, then it displays the proper error message... intermittently. I just tested it again, and apparently it doesn't always work.
*sigh* What now?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I went back to firefox after using Chrome.

I have mac. And I have the same problem.
First page loads - and I can click on any link from that to continue opening it in tabs. But when I open new tab cmd+t and enter a website address to location bar, nothing happens.
I don't have a firewall.
I already deleted Firefox from applications and reinstalled.

IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

Files in Finder but won't open

I made a disc image the other day using Carbon Copy Cloner and when I mount it, there are a bunch of files that list in the Finder just like they would normally, with appropriate file sizes and their icons in tact, but they won't open in their respective applications. Every file, like a quicktime for example, if you double click it will open its associated application but then the app will report an error like "can't understand file" or something like that. Does anyone have experience with files that appear to be there but won't open? THanks.
PS - permissions seem to be set correctly on these files -

Hello Sean:
According to your profile information, you are running OS X 10.3.x. If that is the case, you should post in that forum as you are liable to get incorrect answers here. If you are running OS X 10.4.X, I have read that CCC had some compatibility problems with OS X 10.4 - I do not know if they are resolved (I dumped CCC in favor of SuperDuper months ago). I only use SD (and before that CCC) to make bootable clones......

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

Help!! I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
Hoping there is a solution,
Diana

The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
P.S.
I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
Thanks

I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.
