Firefox will not start, says I must restart my computer, did that more than once ( at least 4 times ) but still nothing, just repeats that I most restart my computor

This started when I tried to upgrade from ?? to the latest version. It did add a second icon to my start page, both act the same way, tried to uninstale, again I get same message. Tried to do a system restore again same message" must restart".

Just checked the model of card youre using by Hardware ID
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0002&SUBSYS_00A02&REV_0A = SB0220 SBLi've! 5. Digital,
and I think if this is correct, you'll may find some other frustrationed owners asking the
same question you have.
Have you tried these drivers
and/or
these drivers
About this issue you and the others are having:
[url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=4670" target=_blank>See this thread[/url]
BTW:
You perhaps can install Audigy 2 drivers and software to your card. Here are the instructions how to do it.
It's quite easy process. Download Audigy driver/software package (~20MB) (link is there), extract it into some directory. Download the patch (link is on Automatic Method sentence)and follow instructions how to patch the instalation package. Then installation process. I've modded my Audigy 2 to Audigy 2 Zs using a similiar method and everyting else, but GraphicMixer, works great.

Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after recent update of Java

You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

After restoring backup new macbook with time machine Firefox will not start. says missing profile

after restoring backup on new macbook with time machine Firefox will n to start. It says it is missing profile although profile exists and profile manager will not start. Also reinstalling does not help. Direct after starting Firefox it says profile is missing and then quits Firefox. Please help edit

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
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 that 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, recently, will not open links in Outlook and after I close Outlook, Firefox will not start again until I reboot the computer.

Firefox IS my default browser. I have tried reloading Firefox from scratch, and Outlook from scratch. I have been using Firefox for years. Only similar previous problem was that link would try to open inI.E., fail, then would open successfully in Firefox.

Hello friend, i have a suggestion:
Sometimes my Firefox closes and the same thing happens... So I close the process, on the Task Manager (famous ctrl + alt + del on Windows) and start Firefox again. Try it!:D

Firefox will not start or bring up any window. I am exasperated, there is no one to talk to and nothing works!!! I cannot get help

I have tried to follow recommendations - I deleted firefox and downloaded the newest version. I tried to go to help and to select something but nothing opens. I have been trying for two days to solve this and NOTHING works. With no one to talk to it is truly exasperating. The tool bar comes up but nothing on it works. I have so depended on Firefox that this is a major inconvenience. Can you please help???
Thank you, Barbara

Hi Barbara, could you try starting Firefox in its "Safe Mode"? To do this, hold the Shift key down while starting Firefox. Then click the "Start in Safe Mode" button.
Does Firefox work in "Safe Mode"?
More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
''Edit: Many apologies, on the Mac, you hold down the option key instead of the Shift key.''

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

Open TaskManager, if it running '''firefox.exe''' > end all processes

Firefox will not start when computer is restarted.

When I shut down or restart my computer, Firefox will not start. I will click the shortcuts, but nothing happens. There is no error message and as far as I know from searching, I have no security applications prohibiting it from starting. Once I reinstall after my computer loads, it works perfectly. How can I fix this so I don't have to reinstall Firefox daily when I turn on my computer?

Hello ShirodieSchone, try to run Firefox once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
also, if the above doesn't work, see if you can start firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx19 safe mode] by by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox.
Otherwise try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) and see if that helps.
thank you

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.

A few times a week

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

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.

Thank you for your help

Firefox will not start any more.

Firefox will not start. (reported as a hang)

Try Application > Utilities > Activity Monitor and look in the Process Name column to see if there is a version of Firefox there. If so, select it and then hit the Quit Process icon.
Restart Firefox.
Recently, Firefox has repeatedly started hanging on my 10.7.2 iMac.
If that is not it, try Carolyn's suggestion.

Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

Firefox will not start at all ... not even profile mananger will start

After an auto overnight reboot initiated by a Windows update (XP 5.1 SP3) Firefox will not start at all ... not even Profile Manager ... all that happens is a few seconds of hourglass on the cursor and then nothing ... this is happening on two different computers at the same time ... identical symptoms ... any advice?
== After overnight reboot by auto Windows update

I had the problem after I restarted the computer when Firefox indicated that was needed to install updates. After that every attempt to start Firefox resulted in no response at all. I went to my program list and found Firefox Safe Mode. That started OK. I then closed it. After that Firefox started OK.

Firefox Will Not Start Up

Firefox Will Not Start - I have tried the Profile Manager to create a new profile, but when I try, it goes to a different screen explaining that "Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts" But Firefox will not restart when we prompt it to.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I was browsing videos online

Make sure that Firefox is completely closed, when you try to run the profile manager.
Can you try to get your crash report ID (without opening Firefox) using the instructions at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it#Getting_your_crash_report
