Firefox suddenly stopped responding. I couldn't close Firefox, then restarted my computer. When I did, Firefox constantly gives "Not Responding"; will not start. I tried reinstall, and am getting a stalled installation. What can I do?
OS: Windows XP
Numerous crashes out of Firefox in recent uses, before this latest catastrophic crash.
Installation is also stalled.
I cannot open any Firefox window and have it find the internet now, so am stuck using Internet Explorer to log in here.
Past crashes have been about once every 18 hours, not including some crashes of Flash roughly every 3-5 days.
Should add that I couldn't kill any Firefox process using the Windows Task Manager, which is a first. And, (re-)install hung for more than an hour now, not proceeding.
Norton scan showing no viruses, and it has the latest definitions. This seems confined to a problem in Firefox.
Trying again to install and get this running, trying to open Firefox again fails, using what I presume was the latest previous install. I can't re-install still.
I did briefly see a program called SysFader trying to run when I was opening the Firefox window (unsuccessfully), but just did a search in my hard drive for a file or folder named SysFader and there are no matches. I don't know if they are related.
Nearly a day later and no apparent progress.

I recently updated the add-on StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I do not get the line which has the URL space as well as other functions. I am now forced to use IE. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled but get the same startup page. What else can I do short of using system restore to a prior date?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I last updated add-ons.This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

The information box pops up when I click on my desktop icon for firefox as well as if I try to access it in other ways. I have restarted my computer. I have tried removing firefox and redownloading it. No matter what I do, it still gives me a box saying it is already running, but not responding. When I pull up my taks bar, it is not running! I can't close it as the box suggests because it is not open to do it. I just keep getting a box saying it is already running no matter what I try to do, even though it is not running.
I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

FireFox will not load any web pages and says to check firewall. What can I do?
I updated the new version of FireFox and now when I open it Google appears the way it should but when I type into the search bar or type in a web address it will not load. The message says to check my internet connection and my firewall to make sure firefox is allowed to use the web. Everything looks ok to me and I do not know how to fix it, help!
Hi JessN37,
We've got a whole [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load troubleshooting section on failure to load pages]. Have you looked through any of that information? There is a ton of useful stuff there.
Hopefully this helps! -
I have had my laptop for about 5 or 6 yrs. I have had iTunes on it since I have had it. All of sudden my iTunes has stopped working. I am receiving an Error 6034 message. What has happened? I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall but did not help. I am still getting the message. I am not having any problems with it on any of my other devices. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me. mproffitt

i have iphone 4 I wantr to use just for games but I don't have my password or apple id for phone how do I fully restore it
You go to https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid if you don't remember the ID.
If you know the ID but not the password, you go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset it.
If you can't do either of those, you call Apple and speak to someone in account security. -
Help me i just bouth 2 mini ipads and now everythig my daugher download in one mini is downloading in the other and in my ipad 2 we have the same apple id for the 3 ipads
Do two things:
1. In Settings > iTunes & App Stores, turn off automatic downloads for Apps.
2. Assuming you sync using iTunes, turn off the automatic app syncing on the App tab when you have the iPads connected that should not receive the downloads. -
I've been having a lot of trouble with iTunes lately. When I would sync my iPod to iTunes, many of the most recent songs I had downloaded would be removed from my playlists and their respective play counts wouldn't be updated. I had thought that updating iTunes would fix my problems, but each time I tried to download the update, nothing would happen. The dialog box that gives you the option to open or run the program would not appear. Finally, after referring to the Apple Support Community, I was able to find a link to download iTunes that allowed me to do so. But when the download was complete and I attempted to run the program, a Windows error occurred that indicated iTunes was not a valid WIN application. It gave me no other option but to click "OK" and when I did, I lost the entire download. I hope that there is a way to fix this problem.
Thanks for reading.
KristenLet's try the following document with that one:

After a message on my computer to install an update a few days ago- I now can't open Itunes and have a message saying a module isn't working and I need to re install Itunes. However when I try to reinstall Itunes I keep getting an error message saying mobile device not working and then a message saying unable to install itunes. Any clues- Is apple stuffing up agian or is my computer mis behaving?
Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
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) 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.

I can't get Firefox to bring up the browser. It continually tells me that the program is already running and to either close it or restart my computer. Not having anything to actually close, I restarted the computer five times. Now what?

I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.
