Firefox will not open even with new profile

When I attempt to open Firefox nothing happens on screen. I have created a new profile still no joy. In the Windows Task Master Process window Firefox.exe is shown. I have attempted to update Firefox no joy I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox still no joy. I know that it is working in the background but where and how can I bring it to the foreground

Hi cor-el, and thanks
Have checked the Firewall that is ok and have allowed any mention of Firefox to have Internet acess , still no joy, I am using Zone Alarm.
I do not get any messages when I attempt open Fire Fox just the browser does not open. I can see in the Task Manager that Firefox has started and is sitting idle but no Browser window.
I End Task in the Task Manager before I attempt to start Fire Fox again after I have made any changes such as the changes to Zone Alarm as mentioned before. Then I attempt to start Firefox again and still no joy.

  • Firefox will not open even in the safe mode

    Started with the addition of beta 4 where gmail would not open and it froze firefox. Added whatever the new addition was yesterday (3/14/11) and then firefox would not even open. Tried safe mode but it still will not open. Error message below

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • It will not open even with a fresh install

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026778 /questions/1026778]''
    Firefox has not opened for a while. I did a fresh install on a windows 8.1 64 bit operating system and the darn thing still will not open. I am not happy about this.

    I'm re-installing from a cd.  I have upgraded since Aperture 1.0!!  When I use the install from Aperture 3.0, it won't open my library (because it has been updated to a newer version of Aperture).  So, I tried to open Aperture with the sample library on the disc.  No go.  States I don't have permissions. 
    I updated the re-installed version of Aperture 3.0 to the current 3.2.3.  I still CANNOT open Aperture.  I seem to be getting the same error message. 
    I have fixed permissions and all.  My Mac is up to date.  I don't know what else to do. 
    I have a MacBook Air and Aperture works great on it.  Problem is my huge library is difficult to transfer or duplicate since it is so large.  I think I will just take out my hard drive from my Mac Pro and put it in a desktop enclosure. 
    I can't even open Aperture from my Vault.

  • Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

    Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
    Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!

  • My antivirus found and removed a virus called Hijacker.DosPop_Toolbar, and now Firfox browser will not open, even with uninstall and reinstall?

    I have uninstalled version 8 and tried to go back to an earlier version, but browser still will not open.

    Delete the Program Files for Firefox and install a freshly downloaded Firefox_setup file.

  • Firefox will not open on my computer, even after reinstall. Please help?

    I've been using Firefox for a long time and it's been working well. I'm on acer Windows 7. However now it will not open even when I try to run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". Chrome or Internet Explorer work fine. I also reinstalled Firefox and it still doesn't work.
    Here's the id of my latest crash (from 30.4.2014): bp-4e981129-aea6-4b23-87a2-739b42140430

  • Firefox will not open. Hangs at "connecting" stage. Non-responsive even to process shut-down via task manager.

    Starting yesterday, Firefox will not open at all. It hangs at the "connecting stage." For hours. It will not shut down even using the task manager for applications or processes, and it locks up virtually every other application. I thought I managed to save an open Word document yesterday - it looked like a slow, but normal save during the Firefox hang, but the document was empty when I restarted my computer.
    Even though my machine is not pentium 4 based, I tried starting using the Windows XP/M configuration, I downloaded and re-installed (over the top of) the existing version, I verified that no Mozilla processes were running before trying to start Mozilla, and tried creating a new profile. Absolutely no success. Every time (of the dozens) I have tried to start Firefox I have had to force a hard shut-down to get out of the application. I have now unpinned Firefox from my task bar because I keep forgetting and hitting it by reflex.
    I am running version 11.0 (at least that is what I just downloaded - I am not positive what I was running yesterday). My system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i3, 2.4 gHz, 4 GB RAM, 64 bit OS.
    Next option is to restore to a previous version. If that doesn't work, I will uninstall and start over from scratch.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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.

  • Firefox will not open new web pages.

    When I open firefox it goes to the firefox default page with one blank new tab. New tabs will open with blank page but Firefox will not go to any new sites just stays on blank pages. I have already tried starting in safe mode, creating a new profile, and un-installing and re-installing and the problem persists.
    It is not blocked by either my firewall or antivirus program.
    This all seems to have started after an automatic update made by Firefox.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • New window will not open even when "open new window in tab" is checked

    I cannot open a new window even when i have the option "Open new window in tab" checked.
    Firefox will NOT open a new window under any circumstances.
    Also, when I quit Firefox, the system thinks that multiple instances of FF is running but they are invisible to me.

    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]]

  • The firefox will not open new windows

    My firefox will not open new windows. It opens new tabs. The problem is in the windows.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox will not open any new tabs since windows update

    I have windows 7 64, and recently, when windows automatically updated, my firefox will not open any new tabs, manually or when opening a link...

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
