Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

Solved it!
It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
How I fixed it:
* Download the latest Firefox
* Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
* Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
* Hit Finish
* Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
* Leave everything disabled
* You should now have a working Firefox!
Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

  • The firefox setup 3.6.3 will not start on windows xp after the extracting process

    What I Did first was I Downloaded mozilla firefox 3.6.3 from mozilla.com for windows and after I run It , the installation process asked me to run it or cancel it to which I ran it and after it extracted , it just wouldn't show up on the desktop but is visible in windows task manager [my computer is windows xp]and I am Logged on as the administrator as well.

    thanks chris for the reply back,i have solved the massive problem i have had with MF 3.6.3 it ws COMODO FREE FIREWALL i had a sneaking suspicion all a long it could have been that but was not sure?,my pc had slowed down since installing comodo i am pretty sure of that,there were lags and pauses ect ect on general usage of the pc even though cpu usage was ok?,so maybe if many pc users that have comodo firewall installed they might like to try a change to another firewall and see if it helps,i went back to OUTPOST FREE FIREWALL which i had for ages without ANY problems whatsoever.

  • Organiziser in Photoshop Elements 9 will not start in Windows 8.1. Inkompartibelt programs.  What to

    Hej!
    Organiziser in Photoshop Elements 9 will not start in Windows 8.1. Inkompartibelt programs.
    What to do?
    /yoel

    Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
    Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
    My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
    After setting up the setting up the system.
    I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
    -I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
    -enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
    I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
    i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
    C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
    C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
    I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
    I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
    I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
    Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

  • My Mac will not start up like normal and I don't knwo why

    My iMac will not start up like normal and I don't know why. I tried to run Skype then nothing happend so I tried to restart my computer, but then it never loaded

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Repeat Step 9, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7.  can someone help me?

    I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle.  upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7.  just dead in the water. any help?

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery.

  • Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not start on the first click, sometimes needing to click 2 or 3 times for it to open (and this is after a fresh reboot with Firefox not running in Task Manager.

    Upon a fresh reboot the Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not work on the first click, sometimes it will not work at all and I need to go to Start-> then click the Firefox icon in the Start menu. Why is it that the icon won't start up on the first click?

    Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

  • ITunes updated this morning (9/20/2012) to a new version.  Now iTunes will not start...anyone else having this problem?

    This morning iTunes was updated to the newest version.  Now iTunes will not open...it attempts to access the iTunes store and fails.  This is only happening on my fiancee's computer...not mine.  And it works with other user accounts on her computer, so it's got to be something specific to her.  I've tried opening in safe mode and uninstalling/reinstalling with no luck.  I've tried everything in this article and it didn't work: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    Is this happening to anyone else?  And how do I fix this?

    I am also facing the same problem.
    I have been a big fan of Apple but now its getting sour.
    I don't know what kind of QA people Apple have started recruiting. They cant even test the Product on different environments.
    I have been facing problems since iOS 6 upgrade.
    God please help Apple.

  • System will not start login Window

    I have a 10.4.5 workstation that will not start the login window.
    It comes up very quickly with the box/progress bar that shows the starting services. Then it goes to the blue screen with the spinning wheel. It will the get a beachball that goes to a useable mouse, but there is only lots of blue real estate. Login window never comes up.
    I have done the following in the order listed:
    disk utility
    fsck
    repaired permissions
    renamed com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    replaced the netinfo DB
    each reboot only produces the same screen with a cursor and nothing else.

    I had a similar looking problem on not one but two laptops after upgrading to 10.4.7 (which incorporates several Security Updates) from various lower Tiger versions. In my case, booting to single user mode showed loginwindow continually falling over & being restarted.
    They wouldn't boot from CD or external firewire drives.
    I eventually got them back up by booting in firewire target mode & applying the 10.4.7 Combo updater.

  • What is the problem with the latest update of Firefox - 30. I have tried the update 4 times (Win 7 Pro ) Program will not start under conditions?

    That's it.
    After update the program will not run. No matter which method I choose. I.E. Run as administrator. Double click.
    I tried starting multiple windows but when each one get to a few 2000 mbs showing in Taskmaster they re-treat and close down??
    Uninstall and re-install the old version and everything is hunky dory?
    Well apart from informing me that there is an update available.
    Many thanks :)

  • One sites constantly let Firefox almost crash: this page will not start en I have to close firefox. When I restart Firefox the problem start immeediately

    for example this page (http://www.klop.nl/kloppenframeset.htm?kloppen000082.htm#8267) starts the problem: Firefox doesn't resond at all. I close Firefox wih "Taakbeheer" and when I start Firefox again all the opened windows pop-up again and the problem is the same.
    After about 5 minutes I can close the windows normaly.

  • In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

    Just did a clean install of windows 7.  I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode.  Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated.  I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
    XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0.  I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP.  The Install of the program went fine and completed.
     Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run.  I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application.  Once I clicked it the time glass on the  mouse was there for a few seconds and
    then went away without the application starting up at all.  One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?  Any Ideas how
    to get the program to run?  Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that.  Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
    Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application.  Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode.  So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
    my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode?  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
    A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
    double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
    In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
    - The database files are marked as Read Only
    - The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
    - Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
    Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
    close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
    Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
    By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
    Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
    Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
    Microsoft .NET 1.0
    Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
    .NET 1.0.
    Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
    on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
    error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
    I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
    Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
    During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
    to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

    I am logged into either the Administrator Account or my Account in which I am in the Adminstrator Group or an Admin.   My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, so I cannot clear out the MSSQL groups and things I have seen online.  Since this
    is Express, there is limited capabilities with the config tool.  
    I have tried to change the log in as in the SQL Configuration tool and every item I check, Local Service, Local System, Network Service all give the same error,
    "Cannot Find Object or Property. [0x80042004]
    SInce I have Home Premium, MMC will not load the snap in for Local Users and groups to check out these items.

    I am not sure how to solve this problem.   Please help.   Thanks, in advance. 

    I created a new Administrator account on the machine, mdahl.   I then started the SQL Configuration Tool and changed the log on to this new account.  Same problem.   Here is the SQL Log.

    Also, the link you provided is to Windows Vista, not Windows 7 Home Premium.  However, I did look at the registry setting they said to look at in the link.
    Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named <var>SID</var>.bak.
    Note <var>SID</var> is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The <var>SID</var>.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile
    folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
    Exit Registry Editor.
    Looking into my registry for my ProfilesList as mentioned. I have these items.
    S-1-5-19 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
    S-1-5-20 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
    Then I have an item for each of my three accounts, Administrator, Martin Dahl, and mdahl, All admin Accounts, which has no sid.bak, but a Sid, so not sure how this link helps me either.   Still looking for assistance.  Still not starting.

  • Bridge CS6 will not start in Windows 7

    Bridge CS6 (both 32 and 64) don't start in Windows 7. 
    Bridge starts in Task Manager for a few seconds, but goes away.  No errors, no logs.
    I have tried all the suggestions I've found within the forums, including checking settings,, temp environment variables, deleting C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6 (including the directory itself), etc.  No luck.   Adding a new user, then using it to start Bridge worked great, but that is not really a solution.  One added piece of info:  Bridge did recreate the above directory before dying, although it remains empty.  I haven't found any logfiles that might help understand how far it got.   Is there a log file or a registry setting that will enable detailed logging to help diagnose this?
    I managed to gather a temp xml file that has some info that might help.  This file shows up for the few seconds when Bridge is running.

    There is obviously something in my normal user's profile or environment that is getting in the way of startup.  Yes, my normal user is an admin. You (Adobe) have the code and the startup can't be that convoluted. Someone should be able to walk the code, figure out what things are checked between creating the above directory and the next externally detectable step (like creating a file in this directory or logging something into a log file), then reply here with a list of specific things to check.
    I got into a chat with Adobe support several days ago, where I went through several steps of ensuring I was using a properly licensed version only to be told that he didn't know Bridge and asked that I call during the day on Monday. The sign off message to that chat was funny - they mentioned 24x365 support :-) Luckily, I've worked support in my past and I have a sense of humor.
    I tried to file a bug form the web, but failed to navigate the amazingly bad support web experience of Adobe.com.  At one point, I had found a place to do it, pasted the above into that window, then tried to submit - I wasn't logged in.  So, I clicked the login link and got an error pop-up window with a bad-link error.  I came in fresh - logged in, then could not find that "report a bug" screen again.  Truly amazing.  But I guess, if you cannot report a bug, it doesn't exist - so congratulations on your bug-free products.
    A suggestion:
    Provide a simple link to report a bug that's not tied to a service plan.  It would simply be a way to tell you about problems with the hope that a solution could be provided in a future release - these can optionally be logged to the forums for community involvement.  I don't mind logging in to prove I'm a valid user.

    Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
    There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive.   I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background?  You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
    In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle.  In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner? 
    Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled.  For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once".  Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program.  As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
    Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems. 
    That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc.
