Firefox won't open no error message, tried everything in the help article nothing works. Won't even open in safe mode. help!
When I click on the firefox icon (windows 7) nothing happens. not even in safe mode. Nothing in the help article works. I've tried uninstalling twice.
Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

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. -
I get an error message trying to load the help site for Photoshop CC
Pressing F1 or selecting 'help' in Photoshop CC produces an error message in Firefox ('you do not have permission' etc) but works fine in Internet Explorer. I tried reinstalling Photoshop CC, and I tried reinstalling Firefox but the problem persisted (I admit I did not clear my Firefox settings before reinstalling). Adobe say it is a Firefox problem. As far as I am aware I have no other Firefox problems. Running in Windows 7 64-bit, everything up to date.

I have no navigation bar ever since I closed it to gain more space on the screen. It won't re-open. Firefox will not open in safe mode, but opens immediately in normal mode with the new improper config, so I cannot reset to default config. I erased Firefox and re-installed and it still opens with the same faulty config. Why does Firefox not give me the safe mode dialog box, why can I not re-open the nav bar, and how can I do these two things, please? Firefox is currently unusable for me without a nav bar and without access to the default settings in safe mode. I cannot research the extensions I'm running since I have no nav bar to go to Tools, Add-ons, Extensions.

I have lost the airplay icon on my iPad. Tried everything on the help site. Can anyone help?
Hi, Sean5656.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue. However, further troubleshooting may be needed. Here are the best articles to help you troubleshoot this issue.

HT201407 iPhone 4 activation and restore errors. Tried everything and the phone still won't work
Woke up this morning and looked at my phone. Found an error message saying "iPhone cannot make or recieve calls, please restore through iTunes". So before restoring it I checked the support website to see if there was anything else I could do before I had no other choice than to restore the phone. Followed everything, found the phone still wouldn't work or recieve signal. I restored the phone and now it wouldn't activate, so called Apple and explained to them. Tried everything I was told, (Call my network, original network provider of phone, restore again, try recovery mode, activating with a different SIM card, absolutely everything) and still the phone wont activate. Apple have bent over backwards for me to try solve this but have had no luck, so if anyone else has experienced this and had any luck fixing it can you please share any info with me as I'm now effectively stuck in a contract without a phone or an option to renew the phone or one to put my SIM card into. iTunes also thinks 6.1.3 is the latest software but I have seen users with 6.1.4
The phone is an iPhone 4 16GB originally locked to Orange UK but has been working fine with a T-mobile UK SIM.
I've spent a couple of hours looking on the Internet and had no luck at all so any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Are there any other errors that you are receiving? The exact error helps. You say it was locked to Orange, did they unlock the device? Or did you do something else to make the device work with the other SIM. There are a number of issues regarding activation, and many deal with trying to activate a device that has been locked to a carrier, hacked to work with another and then locked back when the device is updated. Would any of this pertain to you?

Firefox will only open in safe-mode?
Hello community,
I've been having this weird problem lately... Well as I try to open Firefox an error window shows up saying that Firefox chrashed and that it has to be restarted, as soon as I restart Firefox, the message shows again, and only after few tries I'm allowed to start Firefox in safe mode by clicking on a button showing up on another error window.
I already have tried to:
-Disinstall and reinstall Firefox
-Disabling all plugins (won't allow me to manage extensions in safe-mode tough)
-Deleting the *-journal files
Any ideas? :'(
P.s.: I'm running Firefox 20.0 on Windows 7, the problem showed up really unexpectedly, didn't install anything newThanks for the very fast reply, the problem is now gone :)

Ever since rev. 6.0 Firefox will only open in safe mode; it is "incompatible" according to Win7.
Firefox won't open but is listed on Task Manager as running. It must be closed from there in order to run in Safe Mode. I tried running it in XP emulator with the same result

I keep getting this message whenever i am connected to iCal which is a tad annoying.
The request for account “Work” failed.
The server responded with
“502”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
Please help!
pippilaing (NZ)What I found works best is to do the following:
Quit iCal on you
Go to iCloud.com and sign-in
Create an event on the calendar
Sign-out of iCloud.com
Relaunch iCal
It will take a few seconds for the calender to resync, but you should see the new event pop up on the calender. After that, hopefully all is well. -
My ipad screen is blank, ive tried to do the suggested help pages, of back up and restore, but the ipad has a passcode, which i cant type in a the screen is black. how do i overide?
thanks lizTry this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Problem with Facebook, loads everything as text. I searched the internet and found a lot of things to try. But nothing worked.
So Far I tried:
1) Clearing All Cache, History, Cookies.
2) Making new User Account
3) Re-installing Firefox.
4) Other Browsers.
5) Removing and trying Add-Ons and extensions 1 by 1.
Nothing from the above worked. I don't know what else to do, every other website I went worked. Sometimes the first page works, other times it doesn't. When I try to post something and press like to a comment (When I was trying to see if other pages work and this error isn't only in 1 place only) the usual facebook error pops-up and that works ok.
I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate, and I don't know what else to do.Is it only with Firefox?? You can try to check the permissions for Firefox in any and all security software and remove any possible hindrances. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this]

I just want to let those of you who have problems connecting to home internet. I had same problem with my 4s iphone and tried many of the suggestions here as well as on the internet. Then I found something called an internet extender. Bought it and worked like a charm. It was worth the $60 I paid. No more hours of trying to figure it out. I don't know if this will work for anyone else with this problem but if it helps you I'm happy
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Express base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the Express; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has initialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the Express from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the Express. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the Express to the Internet broadband modem. For the 2nd generation Express, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps. -
Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.
