After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line number 18, Column 1:
<dialog
^
Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?

If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

Thanks for your help. I had tried starting Firefox in safe-mode before I posted this request, but it did not work. I tried to restore the system to an earlier version, but that made everything worse. Two accounts were unusable and one sort of worked, so I reloaded the operating system and now firefox works, for how long, I don't know. But thanks again for your suggestion.

Firefox will not start - already tried all suggestions from troubleshooting

I searched google and here a couple times before posting this. My problem is simple, firefox just will not start. I can click on the shortcut, or the icon inside the c/program files/mozilla folder, i can click "run as administrator", i can do run/firefox.exe, and I can do all of these in safe mode, and still none of them work.
For each time that I do try to start it, it will be running in processes so sometimes I'll have 3 or 4 firefox.exe running but it is not actually showing up anywhere.
I already tried going to run/firefox.exe -p to create a new profile and that doesnt work either, because when I do it, nothing happens. I enter firefox.exe -p in the run command box, click enter, and.....nothing , not even the hourglass. I have tried doing it in regular and safe mode also. nothing.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling back when this first started happening, it was the first thing I did but no luck.
Also, one thing : 99% of the time nothing at all happens when i try to run firefox. When my computer is in safe mode though, and only if I click "run as administrator" on the firefox icon that is in the program files/mozilla folder, it says "a device attached to the system is not functioning." Thats the only time I ever got a error message though, every other time, and if I click on the shortcut or the start menu icon, nothing will happen, and if i do it outside of safe mode. The only time I get this message is in safe mode and when i click on the icon in the program files mozilla folder.
I read through the troubleshooting article on here and couldnt find any help, so I am hoping someone here can help me out since i f'ing HATE internet explorer, and safari is OK but I prefer firefox, and now safari is starting to give me trouble too so I would really just love to get back with my firefox. hope you can help me. thanks.

you don't think I already tried that?

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

FireFox will not start due to message indicating that ssl3.dll is missing and indeed it is not in the program files. But I can not seem to be able to reinstall Firefox or to copy the ssl3.dll file into the program files. Help?

Webroot identified ssl3.dll as a threat and deleted it. Now I can not start Firefox, nor can I copy ssl3.dll into the Firefox Program file. I tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but it always shows as an upgrade and does not seem to add ssl3.dll. HELP?

1. Open Webroot
2. Click on PC Security
3. Click on the Quarantine tab
4. Select ssl3.dd
5. Click restore

Firefox will not start up at all due to installing add on {e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}

I think it may be due to me stupidly downloading XAMPP as well as MAMP and now Firefox won't open. It tries to restore all tabs at start up but goes straight to Mozilla crash report. I can't start it in safe mode because it won't even open. Tried downloading Firefox again but hasn't worked.

Try manually removing that addon / extension.

Hmmmm, http://www.seattlepi.com/ loads fine hear in 10.4.11, FF 3.6.8, but I do see it uses some kind of Flash.
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

Firefox will not start after computer restart

Install Firefox, runs fine. Restart computer, Firefox will not start or finally when it tries to start script errors occur. If I reinstall Firefox after a computer restart, it will work fine, again when the computer is shut down the next time it is started, will not be able to use Firefox. Firefox will not start up in Firefox safe mode, will not start in windows safe mode. Not add on's, nothing added, just the Firefox installer Performed complete system restore on the computer, same problem. Windows 7 Pro. Remove Firefox from windows control panel, restart computer, install firefox, will run. turn off computer, turn on computer, firefox will not start or freezes. I am interfacing the internet via Explorer now.
I have reinstalled Firefox so it will run in order to perform the steps requested below.

Try this

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
