Firefox won't open (though Explorer works fine) and I can't uninstall the program.
The problem started with Firefox saying it couldn't display the webpage. Explorer worked, so I knew it wasn't my internet. I checked, and I am not using a proxy, so that's not the issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but then when I clicked on Firefox nothing at all happened. Now I can't uninstall Firefox. I also tried running Firefox in safe mode, and that doesn't work either.
The OP asked this question 9 months ago and 850 other people have this problem. Why hasn't Firefox Support answered this question or commented?

Hello - my safari on my ipad2 gives the following message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"...email works fine and I can download from the app store...seems to just be a safari issue
Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada -
I get a message can not connect to the internet when trying to open Mozzila Firefox. It was working fine until my internet service went down. Once back up it was not working. I have tried installing and uninstalling the browser. I have looked at the firewall and proxy on my computer. Still not working Internet Exployer works fine. Deleted all cookies also.
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls -
The registry was cleaned of every reference to Mozilla. Again the reinstall was tried with no success
There is probably a problem with the profile folder, which is where user data is stored.
Try creating a new profile folder as shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
If the new profile folder works, you can selectively copy data from the old profile folder such as bookmarks and passwords. For details of the files to copy see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile -

My wifi works fine and I can access the store fine, but when I try to install an app, I get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store"
I am guessing there is an issue with the store right now considering so many people are having the same problem on different platforms. I can't access it with my iPod Touch 4th Gen, yet my wifi is working and I can access the internet using other apps, but when I go to update a couple of apps from the iPod, I get the same error message after I try to sign in to the store.

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?
My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode. -
What does nsAppShell: Event Window mean? Firefox won't open for me at times and I need to restart.
When I return to my computer, Firefox won't open from the "standby" mode. It gives me the message saying "Firefox is already running, but not responding" and I need to log out or restart. Firefox is not running as far as I know. When I restart, a message comes up asking if I want to close "nsAppShell: Event Window". Once I end this process, it restarts my computer and everything is fine. This is very frustrating and happens all the time. What is "nsAppShell: Event Window"?

Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me with a recent problem on my MacBook Pro. When I try to open a document from one of my files, it only seems to open in a small screen and I can't seem to make that screen any bigger to work on it. Has this happened to anyone else before? Thank you for your answer in advance!
Oh, I wanted to add that trying to drag the little diagonal lines to the right of the page doesn't seem to work.

Gmail will not open except in HTML
My homepage ButchNews.com will not display google ads, nor content from some widgets.
Facebook messages will not open.
But everything works fine in Explorer... except I hate Explorer.I was having this problem too and found an easy fix from another thread. Finally have my firefox back up and running!! See below:
"Easy to fix. Clear your browser cache (Tools > Clear Recent History > select Cache, click Clear Now).
That fixed it for me. I have to do it every time I run Vaio Care." -
Why won't any video clips load in Firefox from any site? Explorer works fine
For some reason I can not get any of the videos to open up in any program. Has some setting changed not allowing this? Doesn't matter what type of video or specific site. My Explorer browser works fine. Should I remove Firefox and reinstall it?
Oh, I see, you do not want the Sitename in the URL?
Read this :
The concept of iWeb Sites
A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
But since iWeb is doing it, it seems to confuse & frustrate people. iWeb shouldn’t do it, they say. As if there is a law that demands it.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
(The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :
Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
See this post that explained the link above :
Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url. Causing error. -
Firefox won't open... at all. On a Mac running the beta. What should I do?
Not sure what happened, but I can't open Firefox anymore. I'm on a Mac and pretty sure I've been using the beta release. I remember it updating a few days ago, but anyway... it won't open. I've tried rebooting... nothing. It doesn't load. It just... sits there with the light on under it in the dock, but if I do a Force Quit.... it shows as not responding. How can I uninstall/reinstall ... without losing my bookmarks? It's been doing this for the past two days. Thanks. No offense to other browsers, but I hate everything except for Firefox.
What happens??? What are your system specs??
