Firefox won't open at all, for 3 days now, no errors show, simply nothing. How do I get it & bookmarks back. PLEASE.

Hi, I was happily using Firefox all the time and suddenly when I click on the icon to open it nothing happens and thisn has been going on for 3 days now. I have tried all different ways to open it, but same thing, nothing. I am worried I have lost all my bookmarks now as I hadn't saved them. I also would like to know if they can be recovered at all and also how do I go about getting firefox back and why did it stope working anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using explorer at the moment, my system is Vista. My bookmarks were very important

  • Just had Javascript update done and now Firefox won't open,,,keeps coming up with XML Parsing error not well formed. how can I get rid of this?

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article

    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • How can I get my bookmarks back after uninstalling Firefox?

    When uninstalling Firefox, it asked me if I wanted to delete my bookmarks, etc. I clicked in the check box to delete them, but after a couple days, I realized I should have saved them. Someone told me there is probably a temp folder that is hidden somewhere for just this reason. Can anyone help me get my bookmarks back please? Oh yea, my OS is Vista and I have reinstalled Firefox 3.6.8

    You can try with an undelete program like Recuva if you can restore a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • I just did two System Restores (and clicked something that asked me about "[something -exe]," and now Firefox won't open at all.

    I hope someone can help. My husband did something to update Firefox (or Firefox just automatically updated today, I don't know which), but I didn't like the new toolbar much, so I did a System Restore to get back the old one. That didn't work, so I then did another System Restore for an earlier day, but when I restarted the computer, Firefox wouldn't open at all.
    A pop-up asked me something about "allowing 'something-.exe' at start-up," with options like "Remember this action, don't allow, and allow," I think, and I don't remember what I clicked, and that's likely part of the problem, but in any case, I can't get Firefox to start now. I click on the logo/icon and nothing happens.
    I tried to undo both System Restores, but the computer would only restore the most recent one, not both.
    And I tried, as suggested on the forum elsewhere, to go into "Firefox Safe Mode," but that didn't help either.
    Thank you for any help.

    That's what happened to me too after I upgraded to firefox 4 and it wouldn't connect to my internet. Now I'm stuck with Internet Explorer with none of my important personal information like my favorites.

  • Firefox won't open at all, and when I try to use the 'run' feature, it says the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can not lose my bookmarks. Help?

    Firefox has been working great on my computer for months, and then all the sudden it wouldn't load any pages. So naturally I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox wouldn't open at all. The icon glows for a bit like normal, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the 'run' command, I get this error:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    I also tried the same for the file in the x86 folder but it gave the same error, and I went and looked for the files in the location given and they were there.
    Firefox didn't crash, so there aren't any other error messages I can give you.
    The things I had bookmarked are really important, I can not lose those, but other than that I'm fine with anything else needing to re-installed, etc.
    Help please?

    But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
    Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

  • FireFox won't open. Message (ss13.d11 missing from cumputer.Try reinstalling) I reinstalled and still get the message.

    I received a message from Webroot about a threat. I clicked remove threat. Now FireFox won't open. Message says "ss13.d11" Maybe (ssl3.dll) is missing from the computer. Try reinstalling the program to the computer. Reinstalled FireFox and I still get the message when I try to open FireFox. How do I reinstall ss13.d11?

    Hello sillysewer,
    I youve only been re installing the iTunes app itself, then I would recommend uninstalling all of the iTunes associated files as well.

  • I've lost all my music since my last computer died. How do I get that music back without having to pay for it? I read somewhere that there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true?

    All of my music is missing from iTunes since my last computer died and had to get a new one.  How do I get that music back without having to pay for it again?  I've read somewhere there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true? 

    Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
    In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • I synced Firefox on my andriod Nexus 4 earlier. Now my laptop is crashed. How do I get back all the bookmarks / passwords?

    I have synced my FF with my nexus 4.
    Now I have a new laptop (earlier one crashed) with Windows7 Enterprise edition.
    How can I get my bookmarks / passwords restored in my laptop?
    I have checked the Forum, but there is no straight reply. Please help in restoring the FF.

    You will need to get the Sync code from your Android device https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_get-the-code-on-an-android-device
    Then enter the code from Android in the desktop set up sync area. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_part-3-connect-your-other-device-to-your-sync-account

  • My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back

    ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?

    If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up.  However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened.  Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.
