Firefox will not load up when i click the icon on my desktop, but still the same problem, i have checked and its loaded in the task manager and just wont load up, any help on this matter is strongly welcomed thank you mark

as said nothing happens, i click the icon and nothing loads up. i have used 3 anti virus and spyware malware etc etc for 3 days i have been trying this, please note this install of windows 7 is fresh 5-6 days old. firefox was working fine then one day i tryed it and nothing.

Hi,
a) I don't have DMG either in applications but I have '''Document''' instead.
So '''set "Document" to Always Ask '''going to Firefox>Preferences>Applications
Now it will always ask if you want to Open or Save the file.
b) If already downloaded, check what's under Get Info > Open with
It should say Open With DiskImageMounter (see pic)
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-07-24-03-56-33-60e1a9.png
If not, select it. It's in Home>System>Library>CoreServices.
See if it helps.

Firefox will not start. When I click the icon there is no hour glass.

It will not go to the internet at all. Version 3.6.3 on Vista. Yesterday I was able to access the internet but there was a problem loading a page. Today when the icon is clicked nothing happens.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hi Iekard.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to see if the firefox.exe process is running. If it is, terminate it and try to run Firefox again.
If that doesn't help, try running Firefox in safe mode. If it works like that, maybe it'll work again in normal mode.

Firefox will not start up when I click on its icon. As far as I can see, all of the programme files are present.

Firefox was working perfectly earlier today. This evening, when I tried to start Firefox as I usually do by clicking on its icon in the Windows 7 quick start bar there was no resonse. The same thing happens when I click on the application icon in the Windows Firefox programme folder. Is ther any way that this can be fixed easily?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
* [[safe mode]]
*[[firefox will not start]]
*[[firefox hangs]]
Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
* do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue<br/> ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
* ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
* possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]
* some general info about current crashes [/questions/917748#answer-308124]

My ipad will has a pop-up that will not go away when I click ok, and makes it completely impossible to use the ipad. The pop-up says "iCloud Backup: This ipad has not been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi." I do not know what to do.

Same situation. Had to pull out the Mini to research this. The Apple logo has been on the screen about five min, oh, just went black. Home brought it back and popup is gone. Wonder why this happened to many folks.

You need to sync the app to the iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?

iphoto will not close down when i click on the red X button

Right (Command) click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if you can select Quit there or if you get an iPhoto not responding message. If you do get that message you'll have to the the  ➙ Force Quit... menu option then figure out why iPhoto is stalled.

I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox 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.

Hello Pllumb,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
Look out for "japiohelp".
In short:
a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
c) reboot the computer
and Bob's your uncle.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Firefox will NOT goto URL when typed in. How to fix?

When I type a URL address in the address bar and then hit enter or the arrow on the right side of the bar Firefox will not go to the URL. It acts as though nothing has been entered.

See if you have the extension "AVG Safe" and if you do disable it, and refer to "Problematic Extensions" an reinstalling AVG Free without the "Link Scanner" and without any other extension they may try to install.

When Firefox 8.0 came up, if you have that extension, it should have been right up at the top as a third party extension.
