Firefox will not open since the latest apple upgrade. how to fix?
When I click the icon the address bar appears but the screen does not change. I then click the icon and hold and open a new page still the screen does not change.
Hello jacm, please try to download and install a new fresh firefox version, follow the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

My Iphone will not open. The little apple appears, but I can't get the open screen to appear
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

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. -
Firefox will not open with the new webroot sofeware
I installed webroot version 7.0.4.102
Now my firefox will not load, and ones it starts to load it cannot be closed.@glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

</Event>I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

I'm using a new Asus netbook and have no idea what caused the crash. I tried restarting firefox in the crash pop up window, nothing happens. I tried quitting firefox and then restarting in the crash window, it sends a report and that's all. I cant open firefox. I have power cycled the computer several times, tried to checking and install all plug ins, re-install firefox, uninstall and then reinstall ( could not reinstall), I restored the computer to the previous day and it still wont open. I tried opening it safe mode, I tried opening the computer in safemode, I still can't open firefox. I also tried to test for a virus by creating a notepad document on the desktop and naming in firefox.exe. Notepad ran fine. I also renamed firefox.exe to firefox3.exe. This didn't work and changed the name back.
What do I do now?
The computer I'm sending this from is not the one that crashedBoth your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader. -

SSRS reporting portal will not open with the latest version 30
Some of my users recently upgraded prior to us testing version 30 and cannot get into the SSRS reporting portal. We use SSRS 2008, and 2005.
There is likely no way that I could try testing this from my end right? I'd like to see if we need to file a bug to get this fixed or if it is a configuration issue.

Firefox will not open a webmail site after upgrade
Since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 yesterday I cannot access my work email via Lotus Domino Web Access. Every time I try, the process begins as usual, asking for user name and password, then proceeds to the main page and begins to load but stops and gives this message: Domino Web Access Warning: Sorry, we were unable to process your request at this time. If you are unable to continue working in your mail file, please dismiss this warning and then select View, Reload from your browser's menu.
I can access the webmail site via my laptop, on which I have not upgraded Firefox, or via Internet Explorer on the desktop computer on which I'm having the problem.What is opening instead of your Homepage?

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. -
