Hi. Firefox won't open. I click on it but nothing happens. Help

It was working fine yesterday but today after I installed windows update, it won't work. It just won't open.

The very first thing you should try is a simple reset. Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
If you haven't restarted your iPad in a while this can really help.
If this doesn't help, then you can try removing the problem apps and reinstalling them.
Retired Engineer makes a good point.  It would be a good idea to update your software.

    Should I uninstall and reinstall, and if so does that cause additional problems?

    I'm having the same problem.  I used it one day and everything was fine...next day, nothing will open.  Tried uninstalling and re-installing numerous times but no change.  Tried to contact support and they don't support this product (I just purchased it in August).  Am VERY disheartened with their customer support.

  • Firefox won't let me open new tabs. I have restarted, I've done the drop down, I've clicked on the "+" but nothing happens.

    I cannot open new tabs & it is really frustrating. I've tried the drop down to open new tab, I click on the + but nothing happens. Can anyone help?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

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

  • When I turn my computer on I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. I think this has something to do with Apple "push". I had a problem with this in iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touc

    When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

    Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

  • HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

    I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

    If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • Firefox won't start whenI click on the icon; info on help page doesn't help

    I have Windows XP and Verizon Internet Security Suite. I've installed Firefox twice (with an uninstall in between) and it still won't load when I double-click on the icon. It runs fine on my other laptop with same OS and same anti-virus/firewall. Info on help page doesn't actually address this problem, even though the headline indicates it does.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox has never actually opened. I double-click the icon and nothing happens. Check task mgr, it's not listed. ==

    See my update at 6:46PST - having the very same problem on a MacBook Pro. Someone named "Sherry" posted around 5:42PST w/ same problem. No techies are picking up on these posts, though. Please add a comment to mine as well to keep it at the top and see if we can get some visibility to what is obviously a bug.
    Did you upload a new version/update? That is what caused my problem

  • Firefox won't open, says profile may be missing or inaccessable, help pages not helpful

    Firefox won't open at all. I get a "Profile Missing" window saying "it may be missing or inaccessable". This morning my connection quit mid-reset while it said it was going through everything and not to turn it off, since then it refuses to open. I tried everything I could think of. Tonight I managed to open an ancient IE and am here now, tried as much of the "Help Pages" suggestions as the site sent me to (none were what my computer has even though I'm running XP), but nothing fixed the problem. I removed Firefox and then re-installed, twice, it still won't open.
    HELP!

    I can find NO "profiles.ini" file anywhere. When I open the "default library" there are none of the files you say should be there.
    I have tried a whole new download to update, it won't open because there is no profile.
    I tried removing the program and re-downloading, still won't open.
    I am not tech savvy enough to do much of the messing around you are suggesting. I need someone to help!
    Also - this site is about the least "user friendly" site I've had to deal with in ages!
    I should have been able to reply to the email, but you didn't allow that, too.
    I need someone to somehow walk me through what to do. HELP!

  • I click on BUY but nothing happens.. Can't purchase songs

    I select the song. It plays the preview clip fine. But I click on "Buy" and nothing happens..?! How do I fix that?

    I click on "Buy" and nothing happens..?!
    It is probably your computer.  Did you have the same problem at the other online music download stores that you tried, such as Amazon MP3?

  • Firefox won't open when clicked in the dock on my Mac

    Mac Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8, Firefox icon in dock, won't open when clicked

    As a point of clarification, does Firefox launch if you double click it from your Applications folder through the desktop (Finder)? If yes, right click (or Ctrl-click) on the Firefox icon in your Dock and choose Remove From Dock, then drag it on again from your Applications folder. The only other thing I can think is if it's already running but with its window hidden, clicking it again in the Dock might not be bringing it up. In that case try a Force Quit (from the Apple menu at top-left of your screen, click Force Quit..., choose Firefox in the list and click the Force Quit button).

  • Despite everything, Firefox won't open on my computer account, but will on others.

    I had installed the new firefox 28, after which it all seemed good. But when I later went back onto my computer firefox would not open despite the amount of times I clicked it. I tried 'safety mode' as well. Neither open anything and doesn't appear in task manager. However, firefox options opens. But there's nothing useful on there.
    Firefox works on the other computer accounts, just not mine.
    I've restarted the computer numerous times and I've tried uninstalling and installing it. Nothing.
    And nothing has come up on an AVG scan.
    Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 28: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    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 that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Firefox won't open and the steps in tutorial didn't help nor did uninstalling and re-installing

    Hi,
    I have been thru the tutorial and none of the steps solved the problem I am having with firefox. I just installed it on a new computer and it won't open. It says that it cannot run until process is ended or computer is restarted. Restarting and ending the process don't seem to help. The other tutorial step of deleting the lock file doesn't work either as I could not find a lock file.

    Right... Back to square one.
    - Open Internet Explorer, go to "www.mozilla.com" and download the installer for Firefox 3.6.12 and save it to your desktop.
    - To uninstall Firefox, first make sure no "firefox.exe" processes are running on your machine: Open the task manager (invoke it by pressing ctrl-alt-del and choosing the appropriate option), click on the "Processes" tab, click on the heading "Name" to sort all running processes by name.
    Scroll down the list and right-click on the first "firefox.exe" process picking the "Kill process" option. If there's more than one of them, repeat for all instances of "firefox.exe".
    - Now go to the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall and double-click "helper.exe". This should uninstall Firefox completely.
    - Now we're in for the hard part: Go to C:\Dokuments and Settings\[Your User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. That's where your profile resides. Unless you're using the Profile Manager, chances are you're seeing just one directory "[random string],default". (In my case it's called "4sr92zjz.default", f. ex.).
    If you got any bookmarks you'd like to keep, open this folder, find the file "places.sqlite" and move it to your desktop.
    Now delete the entire contents of your profile folder--you'll need to configure firefox anew. Do keep this window open, you'll need it again in a few moments.
    Go to your desktop, run the installer, start Firefox once, close it again and move your "places.sqlite" file from your desktop to your profile folder.
    Now double-click Firefox and reconfigure it according to your preferences.
    N.B.: Do get "MozBackup". With this application you're able to save and restore a working Firefox profile--for your next mishap ;-)
