Firefox wont start, all soloutions given on website do not work

I am using Windows XP and the most recent version of Firefox. I was browsing last night and had multiple pages open (the websites were bbc.co.uk, eurogamer.co.uk, ign.co.uk). I clicked on a link for an article and the page started behaving strangely, like it was being re-directed so I closed it immediately. All of my open pages then disappeared completely. I received no error messages or acknowledgement of what had happened so I decided to simply re-load. Now, when I click on the Firefox icon I get nothing, no browser, no error messages. When I check my task manager there are no open Firefox processes. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but even that does not work. I can still open internet explorer so I know my internet connection is working ok. I have tried everything suggested on the official Firefox website but still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas, any help would be greatly appreciate.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have the exact same problem. Firefox has been my default browser forever. Was trying to load Sorority life, an app on Facebook. Although FaceBook loaded, SL wouldn't. After doing all the cache clean up ect that was reccommended, and still not able to load the game, I ended up removing and reloading FireFox Once I re-loaded, nothing. I don't care how many times I try to load it, I get absolutely nothing.

What happen to flash, just stopped working for the last few days , ever since i updated firefox? tried all your solutions...still not working

any ideas?

thanks for the help, adobe has notified me that it will not work in firefox, and to please use a different browser, loaded up google chrome and it works fine...hum??? i really like and recommend mozilla firefox. this problem needs to be addressed by firefox and fixed instead of passing it off as a user problem..

Firefox devs are total ditzes.. firefox wont intstall, hassel to register from site, things not working as they should.

1) Firefox will not upgrade or install. During the install process a window pops up asking me to choose between ADMINISTRATOR or CURRENT USER. Does not matter which radio button I select, the popup goes away, the install process just quits. Have unininstalled, used Ccleaner, done every possible thing.
2) Firefox does not seem to recognize basic html code. Cannot use firefox when creating a site, because it will not even recognize the basic command for a non scrolling background, I have to check my site pages with Microsoft IE... oh my gosh. Microsoft? Really? Back to that?
3) Had a horrible time registering on the support site. No register button. Finally figured out how to do this using sync
( datamining up there on the highly accessible cloud for the govt and anyone who wants to see our files? Not me, no thank you!) I digress. After finally registering & confirming email, I go to sign in and it tells me it cannot sign me in because of invalid user name or password... really? Looks like my favorite old standby browser will no longer be used.

Additional information - according to the wiki you pointed me to, it was correct to uninstall flash using Windows control panel. I am very sure that I already had the latest version installed from the beginning, because Flash player pointed me to an update on Windows start (as usual) several days ago.
The error clearly lies with FF, since despite an up to date Flash player it decided it wants it new - something to do with the blacklist? How can it tell, that its outdated, if it does not find it and not show it in the list of plugins?
There is something fishy here...

Firefox wont start "XPCOM" message pops up, need my user and passwords!!??

My window 7 wasn't starting up properly so I did a system restore and now firefox wont start a message pops up stating "XPCOM" and I googled it and everything is telling to reinstall Firefox. I don't wont to reinstall it just yet because I need my passwords and username back. I cant find a solution on the forums either, or if there is I haven't found it or I simply didn't understood the solution itself. Please get back to me asap
thank you!

This usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

In Yahoo Mail, when composing an email I get an "Asking to leave this page" panel; it does not matter whether i choose stay or leave, the panel pops up again....and again...the only way out is to Force Quite Firefox and start all over...help please...

Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

Nothing firefox is starting, how can i fix it if nothing works?

recently my firefox wont start even though every other browser works fine. i've tried the fixes here but no form of firefox program will start and task manger doesnt show them. i've tried uninstalling and clearing the appdata and still nothing. nothing seems to be fixing the problem even at a fresh start.

Hello gerardito,
They will not buy it. The most they will do is offer you a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new iPod Touch if you are willing to trade in the old one.
You can choose to have it repaired by Apple or a third party company if you wish.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello Anonymous.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation.

Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work- the serial number does not work?

photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:

That S/N does work. I double checked.

Reopen All Windows from Last Session is not working

The option Reopen All Windows from Last Session is not working, is there any other way to recover the tabs from my last session?
Last night I fell asleep and my friend shut down my laptop.
When I woke up in the morning I couldn't restore my last session which had several tabs opened for my research.
I don't know the exact date when I found them, so I haven't been able to find them in History either.
I've looked around on the internet, but haven't been able to find anything that helped me out.
Hope you can help me! Thanks.

Restart your Mac.
Check the box for: Reopen windows when logging back in
Then check History > Reopen Windows from Last Session
