Firefox won't start and give message "De verbinding werd geherintialiseerd.

I tried first to fix the problem by resetting Firefox.
When the trouble continue I install the version 23.
This not working and the popup still appaers "De verbinding werd geherintialiseerd".
I can't get on internet with Firefox.
On Internet Explorer, from where I've contacted you, there's no problem, but I prefer Firefox.
Could you help me?
In the other case I must use IE.
Thanks!

hello fred, often such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks firefox: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Firefox won't start; no error message; profile manager also won't start. What can I do?

Suddenly, firefox won't start. I get no error message--it just won't open. System restore to a month before the problem did not help.
From the suggestions on this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20will%20not%20start... I did not recently install add-ons or clean the registry, so I think it may be a profile problem. But profile manager will not open--only a tiny window with a white rectangle and no text.
I would like to not lose all my bookmarks. And I would like to continue using Firefox.
What can I do?

dmcritchie, thank you for your reply!
Before I received your response, I tried something that seems to have worked. I used Chrome to go to the Firefox website and downloaded Firefox (without uninstalling it first) and went through the installation process again. For some reason, this worked, even though I already had the latest version of Firefox, and I can now open Firefox successfully.
If it stops working again, I will try your suggestion. In the meantime, thank you much!

There's an "updated.app" laying in Firefox package. Since firefox won't start and "updated.app" will, is it safe to replace firefox package with it?

After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

My Firefox won't quit and gives a "not responding" message after I use Google Mail. I have tried starting in "safe" mode and the problem still occurs.

I have an issue where Firefox wont' quit and gives a "not responding" message after I have been using Google Mail. It works fine when I am not using that program. I have tried Safe Mode and the problem still happens when I go to Google Mail, so it is not connected with add-ons, extensions, etc.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. 
Clear the Cache 
'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''
 and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy.''''' 
Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''. 
There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''. 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Firefox won't start, and I cannot download the new version as it keeps saying 'unspecified error' when I try

We (my wife and I) downloaded the new version of firefox, but found that it was being very jerky and slow and just didn't really like how it looked. My wife did a system restore on our computer to see if that helped, and since then firefox hasn't started at all - if we double click on the icon, it looks like it's doing something and then it just doesn't open. Whenever I try and download it again it comes up with 'unspecified error'. I've tried deleting all the firefox program files from my computer first, but there is one file in conponents that it won't let me because I need administrator permission. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore. 
You need to (re)install software that was affected. 
Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
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.

Firefox won't start and XP won't let me end the process(es).

After having used firefox for ages with no problems, I tried to open a new Firefox window, and it wouldn't open. I opened the XP task manager and tried to end all of the firefox tasks (there were at least two)... Neither of them would end. No "are you sure message." Nothing. ...And firefox won't open. (I'm using Chrome)

Just once or twice

Firefox won't start, no error message, firefox.exe showing in Task Manager Processes

Firefox (v3.6.6 on Windows Vista) will not open. When the icon is clicked, the hourglass shows for a few seconds, goes away, and nothing else happens. There are no error messages. 'firefox.exe' shows on the Task Managers Processes tab. I also cannot open Firefox in SafeMode or with the ProfileManager.
I have tried restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, deleting my firefox profile. I have tried all of these things multiple times in different orders with no results.
Please Help!

Firefox won't open and gives me an error that it is already open when it isn't.

Whenever Firefox crashes or I restart the computer, I get this message that I can't open a new browser because Firefox is already open.
I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.7 and I have Firefox 5.0

I have the same problem when I'm trying to browse ringtones and stuff for my phone (browsing on my pc) on the site mytinyphone.com .. and when I click the "OK" button, it redirects the page that I am on to some other page, and when I click the back button in firefox to go back, it pops up and same thing happens.

Mozilla Firefox won't start and it freezes my laptop whenever I try to open it. What do I do?

Last May, I was using my laptop without its battery and it was only plugged to avoid damaging the battery since it was already fully charged. I was browsing the Internet using Mozilla Firefox when a brownout occurred. After the electricity came back, I tried to open Mozilla Firefox, but then after a few seconds, it froze my laptop. I tried to uninstall it for a number of times, downloaded other versions, etc. but it still kept on freezing my laptop.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding but if I am then I'm not sure why you are turning your Wi-Fi off and on. It should automatically connect and use your Wi-Fi when it is available and use your cellular data connection when Wi-Fi is not available. I haven't turned either off ever. However, more to the point of your current problem, the following has some troubleshooting steps that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

Firefox won't start, there is no error message and it is not already running.

Hi,
When I try to click on firefox, the little wait icon appears and then disappears. Nothing opens, not even safe mode. I've looked at the "Firefox won't start and there is no error message" help section and looked at my task manager processes. It seems that when I click firefox, it briefly appears on my processes and then disappears. This happened yesterday while I was in the middle of using it. At the same time, my Skype also crashed, which makes me think the two are correlated. The two programs still don't work. The only way that I can open firefox is if I install it all over again with the "launch firefox now" option checked at the end. When I have a firefox window open, I can open other firefox windows just fine. When I close it, nothing opens. Thanks for your help.

1) Start Task Manager
2) Open Processes (make the description area large enough to see)
3) look for a description that says ''firefox''
4) Select it and press End Process
'''Now Firefox should work properly.'''

how shall i fix and restore firefox as i am desperate please , please help....

Does that Profiles/2tt76737.default still exist?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox. 
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)] This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode. 
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.
