FireFox will not work from a first time install

Question
Loaded firefox for the first time, installation complete, icon on desktop, program tries to open when clicked as the hourglass icon is visible for a moment, then nothing happens. I watch the process tree, firefox is visible for a moment then disappears, followed by drwtsn32 momentarily.

I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

I just spent an hour composing a reply in a thread ("Firefox will not work with paypal"), only to see "You don't have permission" at Submit - total loss!

I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!

It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
* Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
* Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
* Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
* Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies
There you may be able to copy out the content of your post from the Request Body. You can use a word processor or text editor to find/replace the + characters back to spaces.

Firefox worked well on my Win8 quad core while Microsoft Explorer constantly crashes. After upgrading to this new Win8.1 today, Firefox will not connect and basically acts as if there is no internet connection at all.

After last Windows update, Firefox will not work

I am running Vista Business OS. and FF beta 4.x
After the latest updates (installed automatically) on Wed, April 27, Firefox will not load. When I click on the icon, I get the "busy" and then.......nothing. It does show as a running process, but nothing comes up on the screen. I have re-downloaded and re-installed it, but nothing. IE does come up, but Chrome does not.
It seems like MS blocked FF with the latest updates.
If I revert to the restore point before the updates were installed, FF works fine.
Help!

I uninstalled KB 2446708 (Security Update for .NET Framework 4) ... took forever to uninstall, like 20 minutes.... And now Firefox starts up normally!
By the way, my Firefox is version 3.6.17, running on Windows Vista 64bit. I try to avoid all the new updates like IE9. Perhaps I should try avoiding .NET Framework 4 as well.

Firefox will not work with our library's web site, creating inconvenience for many users. Ideas?

The Marin COunty(Calif) web site is interactive, allowing us to reserve or renew books on line....The new Firefox will not allow this interaction, so I wonder if you could fix the problem+?

What happens if you try to login?<br />
Is there only a problem with the login or are there other problems?
Is all data send correctly to the server?
It is a form with 3 input fields.
The first input doesn't have a type attribute (defaults to type="text") and the second has type="name" that may be invalid or not recognized.<br />

Firefox will not work with Google, GMail, or Google Search

I have a client that uses Google for e-mail and calendar. I am constantly on this site. I noticed last Friday that Google, GMail and Google search will not work on Firefox. When I go to the website for my client it spins says connecting and then just stops. When I try to put a search in the Google search box nothing happens. It's like I did absolutely nothing.
I need this access. I use Firefox because I develop websites and like the developer add-ons. There has to be a fix for this. Please let me know when this is fixed.

I opened Firefox in Safe Mode and there was no difference. I also found the file cookies.sqlite and renamed it cookies.sqlite.old. I deleted the 2 other cookies files. Still no difference. I am still unable to get a google search or log into a google account.

ITunes PLAY/PAUSE Will Not Work After 10.5.4 Install

I have just installed Leopard 10.5.4 on my iMac G5 and iTunes player will not work. When I select a song, it will show in the player window, but, PLAY/PAUSE button will not function. I have checked iTunes Prefs and see nothing there that is not correct. I am able to navigate throughout iTunes and everything seems to work as before EXCEPT Play/Pause. (Actually, I don't know about PAUSE since I cannot get PLAY to work).

Does the disk also get ejected when you are running Leopard, or only when using it for booting?
Have you looked at it physically for scratches or that dirty film some DVDs had?

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

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.)

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).

Firefox will not work without WiFi on Metropcs 4g lte network

I can use Firefox on WiFi but if I am using the 4G network I just get a message that I must sign up for the MetroPCS Hotspot plan. That makes no sense. I'm not trying to tether with my phone. I can use the built in browser and Chrome but, Firefox is a complete fail without staying on WiFi at all times.

This likely depends on Firefox's user agent.
If you have installed the desktop by default extension you should uninstall that, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/desktop-by-default/
If you don't have that extension install then would you install the Phony extension and try the various user agents listed? We suspect that MetroPCS is lumping Firefox for Android with desktop Firefox. Setting the user agent to one of the Chrome values or iOS values should allow Firefox to use the MetroPCS network. Please let us know if that works around the issue.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/phony/
Unfortunately if MetroPCS is blocking all Firefox user agents this is something that MetroPCS will need to fix. We can try to contact them but feedback from their customers can be more effective.
