Firefox won't even open. As soon as I try to open it, it sends me a crash report.
It just started this morning. I booted up and did a system restore, due to something I had done inadvertently a couple weeks ago that was driving me buggy. When firefox wouldn't start, I did an 'undo system restore'...but it still wouldn't start. I have tried at least 7-8 times this morning. My son was on another computer in the house at the same time, and was running firefox with no problem.
HELP! Please!
Hi,
Please try reinstalling Firefox over the current installation. You can also take a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s backup] of the personal data files first. The personal data are stored in a different location from the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Firefox Installation Location.]

Firefox won't even open now that I've installed Snagit - what can I do to fix this?
Today I bought and downloaded Snagit (TechSmith) for Macintosh. When the program was being installed it asked me if I wanted a nifty Firefox extension installed. I stupidly (as it turns out) agreed! Now, Firefox won't even open. I've tried restarting the computer and still no luck. How can I diagnose the problem with Firefox? (I know that I could just download Firefox again but I don't want to lose my many bookmarks etc.)
I opened the file in the Firefox Application folder that gives crash information and it mentioned Error Code 1?The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Safari crashes as soon as I try to open it - I have Yosemite OS
Safari crashes as soon as I try to open it - I have Yosemite OS
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Crashing as soon as I try to open any application..
my computer boots up fine. but crashes almost as soon as I try to open any application.. then when I click back onto the finder that crashes too and I have to turn the computer off at the wall. I've got on safari at the moment but any other app crashes. I cannot even force quit.
Any help would be much appreciatedHow large is your HD AND how much space do you have left?
Disconnect all devices from your comupter except the keyboard & mouse. Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. -
Gnome-shell crashes as soon as I try to open any app
This is the first time that I'm trying Arch and I only have one problem, the one that's in the title. I installed lxde and everything is working fine. Video drivers are working great (I can play Team Fortress 2) whit out a problem, and Gnome-shell loads just fine. I can go to Activities, switch desktop, click on the indicators, but as soon as I try to open an app, all crashes. I logged in lxde, opened a terminal and i typed "gnome-shell --replace" to see the outut and this is what I got:
$ gnome-shell --replace

gnome-shell-calendar-server[9290]: Got HUP on stdin - exiting
If anyone could help me, it would be really great.
Last edited by medeshago (2011-09-14 05:02:23)Do you have networkmanager installed?
Nevermind, while that does seem to be an error with nmapplet, it would appear that you also have a problem with policykit. Are you using a desktop manager to load gnome?
Edit: Eh, nevermind that also. I'm guessing the bottom two lines is a segmentation fault. Not sure what is going on with the gnome-shell-calendar-server. Hopefully someone more familiar with gnome than me shows up to help you.

For some reason Safari and App store won't open anymore. Everytime I try to open them they crash and it says it's because of the webkit2 plug-in. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -
As soon as I try to open PDF a "licensing problem" screen appears...
I have reinstalled reader software but get the same message.
Hey -
Thanks for taking the trouble to respond - appreciated. I did post the details you requested and sent you IM about that. Anyway, the problem
appears to have fixed itself as soon as I opened Acrobat9 Pro it
reconfigured itself and everything is working again!

i have 2 accounts, my USA account and MEXICAN account, i coulnd't access from my phone the USA itunes store ... so i did some steps that i read on others replies but it didn't work, so i log out my app store and then log in with my mexican account, then went to the itunes store app and it works totally fine with my mexican account, it show up everything so i had the opportunity to log out and close everything again, went to de apps store and log in with the usa account (the one that i use more) and then went to the itunes app and it works!! im so happy i did it heheheh ok, maybe im too excited but yeah ... i feel relief ... i was worry about that ... so hopefully this maybe useful for someone out there
(and hopefully someone could understand my horrible english )
1.- log out on app store (or either way Itunes ... the app that actually works as always)
2.- log in with your other account on app store (i have USA and MEXICAN..USA was not working so i log in the MEXICAN acc)
3.- go to itunes app and log out
4.- close everything
5.- log in on app store with the account that you are interested in ... (in my case USA)
6.- went back to itunes y voala!! -
On behalf of a friend (who obviously cannot get on-line):
I can open Safari OK, but as soon as I try to open Google, Safari shuts down. It either does so immediately, or once I type an address or search name into Google. The systems no longer seem to be compatible. All was well until about three weeks ago. I've pressed the Safari Reset button several times to try that, to no avail.
The operating system is Mac OSX version 10.3.9, and Safari is 1.3.2.
Is there a solution? He does say his iMac is old and the OS antedeluvian
Would welcome any thoughts!
BSorry to say it, but he is correct!
Solution? Either update the OS and Safari if possible, or start saving! -

PSE 13 opens normally, but when I try to Open a file, nothing happ ens. The Editor screen just stares back at me as if I had done nothing. Should I uninstall/reinstall?
When I do that, the only option I'm given for opening a file is "Open". not
"Open With". Right clicking on a jpeg file and clicking on Open opens the
file in Irfanview, which is the File Association for opening jpeg files. I
suppose I could change the File Association. I'll try it now.
OK, I changed the File Extension Association for .jpg and .jpeg files
to the PSE 13 Editor .exe file shown in my c:/Program Files folder, so now
clicking on any .jpg or .jpeg file opens the Editor, but again, as before,
the clicked on file does not open. It opens fine when associated with
Irfanview (opens in Irfanview, of course). And when associated with PSE
13, the PSE 13 Editor opens and appears to be ready to "receive" the
clicked on file, but nothing happens.

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.
Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:

Did Firefox crash and possibly submitted a crash report?

Firefox won't even start in safe mode.
I keep trying to start firefox. It keeps saying its not responding. It gives me options to start in safe mode or reset Firefox. But I've tried both of these options and nothing works.
First, download the full installer and save it somewhere.
'''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
Now, totally remove Firefox from your system. Your user profile is
stored in your user folder on the computer. Leave it alone for now.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer Uninstall Firefox from your computer]''' {web link}
After Firefox has been removed, reboot the computer.
Then try installing Firefox. -
firefox initally opens fine right to my homepage. Then a few minutes later it starts hanging and I cannot scroll or do anything until it connects. Similarly when I try to open a new tab, the new tab either hangs forever, or I get an unresponsive script error message. I have tried resetting firefox and starting firefox in safe mode. nothing seems to help.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
