Firefox will not work on this computer despite the fact that it has worked fine for the last year...
latest version has been added ... does not fire up...
using windows 7 service pack 1
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer -
I have a Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ZT desktopcomputer with 16meg memory. I have not been able to install any updates
to itunes to my computer. It downloads, but then when installing, it looks like it is going to complete the install
and then it rolls back and says the errors occured and to try again. I have a win7 64bit HP Laptop that installed
the itune updates with no problem. I have to sync my iphone to my Laptop as it will not work with my desktop.
Please advise.
Thanks,
RogerDo you have any other drive connected, which has a copy of FCP X?
I would make a copy of the application in some drive, just in case; then disconnect the drive, delete the application (could use FCS Remover to delete everything related).
Then, try installing from the purchases tab in the App Store. -
Right now I'm staying connected but when I tried it at 2:00 Firefox would not stay connected. It would keep saying not responding. Also sometimes if I would go to fast it would just jam up. I could be connected and then go to my email and it would say lost connection. It just kept changing as though I was getting more that one connection. Hopefully you can help me.
Basically it means firefox didnt Shut down properly and if you close firefox and you try to open it again and you get the message firefox is already running then in windows right click on the taskbar and press on task manager and then once task manager is open press on processes and look for firefox.exe and then where it says End process click that and it will close firefox properly ok and then you can open firefox up again properly ok and for mac its a differnat way ok

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

Hi - I have opened a second log with the same date and name and am now tracking down the problem.

Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELPSame problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

Firefox will not open on my computer
From sometime last night to today (11/18) Firefox will not open when I click on the shortcut link from my desktop. I've tried to add another profile by clicking on start/run/firefox.exe but that doesn't even work. What would be the next step?
Do any error messages display when attempting to open Firefox?<br>
In the task manager, is the <code>firefox.exe</code> process running?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back soon. -
Firefox will not open without restarting computer
I do not shut down my computer as we use "Log Me In" so I and another person can log in from wherever we want, anytime. About 5 months ago the problem started. I can open FF when I come in every morning, but when I come back in the afternoon or later in the evening, Firefox will NOT open.. It does nothing.. I can click to open, use the drop down and select open, nothing happens. I have to restart my computer every afternoon in order to get Firfox to open.. So I have begun transferring all my links to IE as it does not have any problme like that.

Firefox will not connect to internet, period; all troubleshooting on my end has been done
Firefox will not connect to any webpage. This is occurring daily and constantly. I have road runner service for internet access. I have done all troubleshooting on my end -- emptying cache, resetting modem, resetting router, etc. I cannot connect to internet. My computer is checked -- Windows troubleshooting, etc. Firefox has also been crashing at least 4-5 times a day on average. Sometimes I have a couple of days free of crashes. Most times, this is becoming infuriating. I have to be on line for work. I have gone through checks and pinging with the internet service through Time Warner Cable. What is going on? It's impossible that every website in the world has a broken server!!!
So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes or in the url bar. Usually if I click on the down arrow in the url bar, my most common websites pop up... now it won't show me them...
It is also happening in any website I use via Fire fox. I don't have this problem with windows or Internet Explorer. Even the down arrow box below this.. asking "this happened" won't let me see the choices.. it just flashes by.Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks

I have never been so frustrated with a company and their inability to support me as a customer.
Even when I try to ask a question in the forums, it logs me out without ever posting my question- every time.
My PS5 will not allow me to run updates or manually install plug-ins to open CR2 files from a T3i.SSprengel,
Your post appears as a reply to mine, but none of what you write applies to me.
You are way off base and I resent it. Please forgive the inevitable tone of what follows. No offense meant, I'm just pi$$ed off, that's all.
Let's see:

CS6 is still sold and supported by Adobe, right? They have released ACR 8.4 for both PS-CC and PS-CS6…
That's plain bull, and it has nothing to do with the OP's predicament. No need for me to go into the limited value of ACR 8.x and higher for CS6 users. Incidentally, the miserly pay received by those poor souls in Pune, Mumbai, or wherever they are in India should allow Adobe to extend their limited, pathetic support by substantially more than a few years
I have been told in no uncertain terms by Adobe and those close to Adobe, that I'm an Adobe former client.
That is patently offensive by the standards of any prudent person. My paid purchase of Photoshop CS6, is not that old. I had been an Adobe customer for very close to 30 years.
ssprengel wrote:
……From Adobe's perspective your $4000 job should allow you to buy new software and a new computer to run it on if your older computer isn't compatible with their new software…
That is unnecessarily condescending, offensive and wrong. $4,000 a month is substantially below half of what I was making before I became permanently disabled in 2005 and had to retire. If $4,000/month is all you're making, I'm sorry for you. That doesn't remotely allow you to project that onto me in a puerile and futile attempt to define me.
However, since 2005 I have not drawn a salary of any kind. Further details are none of your business.
The fact that there are people well off to be ripped off does not justify Adobe's predatory practices in any event.
For your information, Microsoft has been very supportive of my situation regarding my older Macs and has even provided replacement floppy drives for Mac MS Word 5.a (decades old) in the last 12 months and even provided workarounds for a six-year-old Entourage 2008 this current year. I run a number of Macs, including two Mac Pros and two Mac OS 9.2 machines.

MY point exactly.
I'm not in any sort of "problem" myself. I'm in the process of quickly learning and enormously enjoying my Photoshop substitute, the excellent 59€ PhotoLine. I was only expressing solidarity with the OP. -
When I try to open Firefox from my desktop it will not even open to the internet, it does pop up a box that says "do you want to report this crash" I have sent the report and still can not have any luck fixing this problem. I can go to the internet if I open internet explorer and then go on your web site but it will not allow me to down load Firefox. What can I do to fix this?

After I hit the Close button and try to reopen it tells me that Firefox is currently already running and to either close it or restart my computer. Which I did, and it didn't do anything. Also, when I press the restore button, it will not restore, it just sits there. Please help, I hate Internet Explorer and I don't want to use it longer than I need to.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.
What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.
