Firefox wont open at all, help ?

When I try to open Firefox it does not work, I have important bookmarks on Firefox and i can not access any part of it. Why is this happening ?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox wont open at all

    Whenever I attempt to open Firefox, an error message comes up saying "Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I've rebooted my laptop a few times and uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox, but that hasn't helped.

    What is your computer system?
    Have you tried to;
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Firefox was set to open it its page and while changing that to google I mistyped coogle; it wont open at all now.

    Annoyed by the bouncing star which interfered with my concentration, I clicked on the firefox icon and changed my opening page to google. I typed in coogle by mistake. The page wont open at all because it cannot find coogle.What do I do now.?.

    Note that you can drag a tab or link on the toolbar Home button to set this page as the home page.
    You can use these steps to disable the snippets on the about:home page:
    * Set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page
    * Open about:home page in a tab
    * Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Developer)<br />https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
    * Run this command via the command prompt: <b>gSnippetsMap.clear()</b>
    * Close the tab with the about:home page
    * Close and restart Firefox

  • Firefox wont open as it cannot find the file HELP!!!

    My firefox wont open, when i click anything to get on firefox it comes up with windows cannot find firefox
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == randomly after i shut down my computer once ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; AskTbBT5/5.8.0.12304)

    1. Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
    2. Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
    *Windows: This is usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. "Mozilla Firefox" can be renamed to "Old Firefox"
    *Mac: This is usually Macintosh HD/Applications/Firefox.app. Macintosh HD/Applications can be opened in Finder, and Firefox can be dragged to Trash.
    *Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
    3. Download Firefox again from www.mozilla.com and install. (Installation instructions for Windows, Mac, Linux )
    4. If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

  • Firefox wont open -= wont let me uninstall because I need to close Firefox!! I have Windows 7. I've been using Firefox for years.

    Hello,
    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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

    On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.

  • Email wont open at all?

    I updated my phone recently and now my emails wont open at all. it goes to a blank screen with refresh and new button at the bottom then just shuts down to the home screen.  All of my email accounts are set up correctly and were working fine before, heck they worked up until about a week later.

    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

    Clint:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In terms of the Firefox issue. Boot the computer and log in. Then go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and see if Firefox is listed there. If it is, then select it and click the minus sign at then bottom left. The reboot the computer and try to launch Firefox.
    A couple of other things to check. Open a Finder Window (Commnand + N when in Finder) and look in the sidebar. Do you see a white disk-like icon named Firefox? If you do, click on it, drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, then eject the white disk icon.
    If neither of the above work, hold down Command + Option + esc. Do you see Firefox in the list of items to Force quit? If you do, select it and Force quit.
    Please let me know if any of these work.
    In terms of Dashboard, do you have the install disk for the OS you have installed?

  • ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

    Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
    I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
    I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
    I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

    Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.
