Firefox won't open anymore on my computer. when i try to download again, it tells me to close firefox first.

When I click on the firefox icon, it just does nothing.
So I tried (through another browser- Chrome) to download another version of firefox. It said it's open and I have to close it.

I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

  • Mozilla won't open on my Mac, and when I try to download it says it's in use. Any Help?

    Thunderbird was listed as an external drive on my Mac. I accidentally clicked the eject button and now it won't open. I tried to find help in the forum but nothing worked. I tried to re install it and it says it's open and it can't install. When I get a new email the box flashes up on my screen, and if i click it it will open the mailboxes page. I would like to open the mailboxes page by clicking the icon on my toolbar, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm fairly new to Mac, and I'm sure that doesn't help. Anyone have some help?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Cannot open page on iPad 2 when I try to download Apple apps

    When I try to get an app I get a message that the page cannot be opened, Safari does not recognize the address but I am in apple.com?

    I was looking for a solution to the problem I was having with syncing apps and downloading them. It is pretty hard to find the correct wording to say what you are looking for. My problem was that if I wanted to download a app from the app store it would say "safari cannot open the page because it is invalid", also when I would go into the iPad via cpu and try from there it was all gray and I could not do anything with it.
    Your solution was my solution, thank you for that.

  • An update for numbers was shown for my macbook pro, however even though this has been done I cannot open numbers without updating and when you try to update again it advises you that this is already done so we go round in circles getting nowhere, any idea

    `   I cannot open numbers as it requires and update, and the update has taken place yet it still maintains that an update is required and when you look to iupdate it advises you that you have already updated so we go around the circle and get nowhere.  Help please.

    Hi renrut,
    Do not delete the old version of Numbers (Numbers 2.3, Numbers'09). It has features that the new Numbers has lost (in particular, Print View).
    Numbers '09 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. The icon on your Dock continues to point to Numbers '09. Launching Numbers from that icon is why you get the "Update" message. Numbers 2.3 is trying to open a Numbers 3 document.
    The new version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2 is the latest version) lives in your Applications folder (not a sub folder). Drag that icon to your Dock. It will become an Alias. Right click (or control click) on it and Options > Keep In Dock. Now you can chose which version to run.
    Numbers 2 on the left (three columns)
    Numbers 3 on the right (four columns).
    Both versions will run happily side by side. Just be sure which version you use to open a Numbers document. If Numbers 3 tries to "steal" a Numbers 2 document, you will get a warning when you start to edit:
    Edit a Copy will preserve your Numbers 2 document and create a Numbers 3 copy. Cancel will get you out. Upgrade will convert your Numbers 2 document to a Numbers 3 document.
    If all else fails, you can do Menu > File > Export To > Numbers '09 to revert.
    Do not delete Numbers '09 (or Numbers '08) from your machine! You will need them.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Adobe Classroom in a book file won't open anymore

    I have a Framemaker 7 Classroom in a book file that won't open anymore. I purchased in in 2006
    and it's worked for years. There is no error message. I keep getting redirected to Adobe Digital Editions website. So I've installed the Adobe Digital Editions software and still no luck. I spent 2 hours on the phone this morning with Adobe support and their final conclusion is they don't support this issue.
    Anyone have any ideas? All my other pdf's open with out any trouble. Some of them are ancient.
    Thanks,
    June

    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

  • Adobe Presenter CRASHES and won´t open anymore

    I am already with Adobe Presenter 8.1 (64 bits) and with Office 2013. Whenever I start recording a powerpoint presentation, with myself in the webcam (Logitech c-920), something happens that avoids me to record with my webcam again. After the crash, if I open Adobe Presenter (not through Powerpoint - but through the desktop shortcut), nothing happens...my webcam does not start and Adobe presenter simply does not open. I ran as administrator...nothing. Even through powerpoint, adobe presenter won´t record anymore. The only way to solve this is UNINSTALLING adobe presenter and installing it again. Then I can use it once more till the next crash. There is something wrong and I just can´t figure out what it is. Help!

    The problem in detail:
    - Open Powerpoint 2013 presentation
    - Open Adobe Presenter through Powerpoint
    - record
    - publish
    - ok...
    Closes. Next time, it won´t open anymore...
    If I only open Adobe presenter (before the crash) and open preferences (to choose webcam, microphone, etc.) it will crash in the very moment I close the preferences window.
    My office 2013 is 32 bits. Is there an Adobe Presenter 8.1 32bits? Would that be the problem?

    This does not look good.  I am also surprised that System Restore would do that; normally System Restore does not touch user data (Program Files); only system data (Windows).
    I suggest that you run the Acrobat Removal Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html (multiple times, until all Reader installations are gone), then delete these duplicate install folders, and install Reader again.

  • HELP! suddenly .llb won't open anymore?!

    I can't access the .llb file I was working with anymore.  I get the message:  'Error occured while listing contenst of c:\......\filename.llb.'
    I've used this file a lot during the last week.  No problems at all.    It's an instrument driver, now located in the instr.lib folder.   The last thing I did, was making a pallette for it.    After restarting Labview, I noticed that on the pallette, all icons changed to questions marks.   So I tried to open the corresponding llb file, and it won't open anymore.     What's going on?
    Any way I can still open the llb file?  There's a few days work in it.   (Not backupped... .Yeah, I know.....  )  
    It's on Labview 8.     Attached the llb file, for anyone that wants to have a go at it.
    More importantly, how did this happen?    I can't remember that I ever had this problem in the past....

  • Forced iTunes to quit now it won't open anymore and it took Quicktime down

    I moved my iTunes files over when I got a new computer and I have added a lot to of new material since then. Recently I plugged my iPod into the old computer to access it's hard drive and, much to my surprise, it was still authorized for the old iTunes and it immediatly tried to synchronize. This of course meant that it began deleting all the new files on my iPod (like about 400 new songs) that I had added with the other computer.
    In a panic I pushed the COMMAND-Period combination and escape and just about any other of the familiar commands to stop something like that from continuing. I think it was a forced quit that finally stopped it and that action might have been a mistake. Ever since then iTunes will no longer open and it took Quicktime down with it.
    Every other application opens just fine but now when I try to open iTunes or Quicktime player they just hang. The icon bounces in the dock and the little black triangle appears below it but the application never actually opens. It doesn't quit itself, it just hangs there in a half open state and only a forced quit will stop it from hanging there forever. If I am in the finder when I open it I sometimes get an endless beach ball.
    I completely deleted the music and library files, I deleted all the preferences, I even completely deleted both applications and everything I could find related to them and re-installed them both from scratch. Nothing has worked so far and I'm beginning to wonder if something went haywire in the operating system related to these programs.
    Another odd glitch that I have noticed in attempting to fix this issue is that the Disk utility is failing when I try to verify or repair permissions. It goes about half way through the process and then claims it cannot continue. I've never seen that before and I'm not sure if it's related.
    Does anyone have any idea what I have done to my computer and how to get this issue fixed? I'm getting ready to completely reinstall the operating system but that seems a bit drastic.
    Any other ideas?
    The computer is:
    Early G4 500 Mhz
    512 Meg of RAM
    OS 10.3.9
    iTunes 6.0.4
    Quicktime 7.0.4

    it's saying i need apple support or something?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Is it possible to save a file that won't open anymore?

    I have an Indesign CS6 file that I haven't opened for a few months and now it won't open and crashes Indesign each time I try opening it.
    All other Indesign files are OK, but this one???
    Does anyone have any suggestions bar recreating the file, which is my last resort.  I do have the PDF that I sent to the printers, but need to add in two new pages.
    Many thanks

    I'd like to echo Peter's concerns about opening PDFs in Illustrator... Illustrator is not a PDF editor. The only PDFs that can be safely opened in Illustrator is a PDF that is saved from Adobe Illustrator using File>Save As>PDF.
    There are other options available - Markzware can and do as far as I know convert the InDesign file to Quark and back to InDesign as a service - you could try contacting them if all else fails http://markzware.com/support/

    The only full PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself using the save for editability option.
    Why? Adobe Illustrator operates in +either+ CMYK +or+ RGB and +only one+ specific color space per document. Thus, a color-managed PDF file with more than one color space with opened in Illustrator would be ruined. Also there are many PDF constructs that Illustrator knows nothing about. At best, they are treated as foreign objects that cannot be edited. And for text, Illustrator only "understands" particular encodings. General PDF can lose text when opened in Illustrator.
    Illustrator can often be safely used to modify specific, simple graphic objects as the vector graphics touch-up tool editor, but not much more.
    Proceed at your own risk!

    Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, and repeat yet once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Opening any arbitrary PDF file in Adobe Illustrator other than PDF files saved in that version of later of Adobe Illustrator with the editability option (which saves the Illustrator document editing data as private data within the PDF file) may result in content loss or corruption.
    To answer your specific question, don't expect any PDF layers from AutoCAD to be preserved.

    PDF layers are part of an overall feature known as optional content in PDF and are conceptually very different than Illustrator layers. Since PDF optional content features in general are very much a superset of Illustrator layers (PDFMaker for PowerPoint uses optional content to handle certain slide build features, for example), there would be no easy way for Illustrator to readily pick and choose what optional content features to support and translate. As such, don't expect this to be "rectified" in any way in future Illustrator releases.
    (To make things even more interesting, both PDF and Illustrator layers are very different than Photoshop layers which allow for defined interactions between layers such as masking!)
