Firefox won't launch and I can't get into Profile manager to make a new profile.

Whenever I try to launch Firefox it doesn't open. i've had this problem before and I fixed it using the profile manager, I'm trying to do the same thing this time. However the Profile Manager won't open at all.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT201412 My I phone five isn't responding and when I turn it on, I get a white screen with black lines and I can't get into my phone. What is happening?

    My iPhone five decided to go crazy and give me a white screen with black stripes and I can't get into my phone. I can only use Siri! What's happening?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

    Try this repair, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, use Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and           click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    Please report back to let us know if this helped.

  • Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

    Hi
    Something weird is happening to our emac!
    Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
    Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
    Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
    I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
    In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
    I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
    Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
    thanks x

    HI,
    *"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
    Better check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

  • When I try to read Yahoo mail on Mozilla, I keep getting sent back to the "type in password" page and I can't get into my mail.

    I can open Yahoo mail in Explorer but I prefer Firefox. I can get into one of my e-mail accounts on web server but when I click onto another account, I keep getting tossed back to type in password on and on... and not able to get into my accounts.

    Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    for "McAfee Site Advisor".
    (Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.

  • I just downloaded my Leopord onto my Macbook and I can't get into my Gmail account. It almost loads all the way and then stops. Also Facebook wont load all the way or keeps reloading and wont stop. The whole page never loads.

    My computer isn't loading everything fully on Safari now. I can't get into my Gmail. It just stops loading.

    Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
    2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
    80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

  • Profile Manager deleted. Can't openFirefox. How do I make a new Profile.

    I uninstalled Firefox on my desktop and deleted the Profile Manager by mistake. I've tried all the suggestions on the internet and can't get a new profile. Firefox works fine on mylaptop using Win7 but the problem is on my desktop using XP Prof. Keep getting error message that it can't find the profile manager.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • My App Store won't launch. How can I get this fixed?

    Every time I try to launch the App Store on my iPhone 5s, it launches and quickly closes. I've reset, synced with iTunes, and turned the phone on and off. Nothing works.

    Hi, Songman23. 
    There are a couple of things you can try.  The first would be to reset all settings.  Go toSettings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
    If the issue persists, try signing out of all services that require signing into your Apple ID and then signing back in.

  • I can't get iphoto to launch anymore. Can't get into iphoto library either

    We have iphoto 7.1.5.  I can no longer get iphoto to open at all.  It immediately tells me there was a problem launching the application.  We recently added dropbox and I wonder if that is interfering in some way.  In an effort to fix the problem, I disabled the automatic connection between dropbox and my computer (I think.)  Also removed Mackeeper as mentioned in other posts.  Any suggestions? 

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new iPhoto 08 library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
