How do I reset Firefox if I am not able to open the application after ending it on the task manager?
We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile?

Using Firefox, I used to be able to open a document on a website, such as a bank statement, and view it without downloading. Now, I must download and save a document before I can view it. How can I change settings so that I can open documents without saving them first?
Do you know what kind of docs they are? Did you upgrade/Update Firefox lately?

I'm doing some maintenance on an old Dell Dimension 1100 (service tag: JGFN291, all drivers updated) for a friend, and I installed the new version of Firefox. Webpage graphics / backgrounds will not display, and the text on all webpages displays too large; I have to scroll to the left to see everything. How do I configure Firefox to automatically display all webpage content properly? It's probably due to the age of the PC and monitor (I think Noah took a pair of these on the ark with him back in the day), but I was hoping there was some other workaround for it. Any and all help is appreciated!
there is no replay for the problem ?? mozillas's stuff doesnt work as good as their web browser...

Your issue may not have anything to do with your files, it could be a corrupted cache file, reinstalling your OS and files from backup could be overkill and too much work.
Run ALL of the free OnyX's checks, cleaning and maintainence aspects (not the log files) and reboot at the end.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Your machine will act a bit slow until the caches and spotlight are rebuilt, but it should act faster
Your next step is to use OnyX Verify Preferences and "show only corrupt plist" files
If you find some, make a note of their location and remove then to your desktop and reboot and start the programs responsible, reset your preferences. -

I keep getting the following dialogue box when I start Firefox " Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions." I am not sure how to find or change the profile directory. I have gone to the Options: General: Save files to ...box but it wont allow me to browse to another file and the box remains blank. ideas please!

I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?
I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner -

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?
Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab. So the only solution is opening "New window" which is extremely messy. Kindly help me with this issue.
hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

When I open the application the following alert appears: "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory." There is a solution on the support site but only for Windows-based Firefox, and I'm a Mac user. I have plenty of room on my hard disk.

Open Finder and use one of these:

* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
