I can not open firefox. Recieve message: "Couldnt find mozilla runtime". Can you help me?

I find file "mozilla runtime exe" under removed files in directory "removed files". What does it means?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

    Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you <b>reboot</b> computer before reinstall?
    Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
    Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
    Have you tried creating a <u>new, <b>completely</b> clean profile</u> - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
    Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location?

    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.

  • I can not open Firefox due to a virus. Can I un-install and then re-install Firefox and save my original setup and favorites

    I can not open Firefox due to a virus.
    When trying to open Firefox, the program directed the computer to shut down, and prevented me from going into Safe mode.
    The virus only affected Firefox and rebooting in Safe.
    The virus has been scrubbed, but I get the crash report every time I try to open Firefox. Can I install a new version of Firefox and still keep my bookmarks/ How can I rescue my bookmarks.
    I am posting this from another computer location.

    I used to have a slightly similar problem. Not the Virus problem, but the re-install of Firefox. The solution for this in the future would be for you to install and use FEBE Firefox Environment Backup Extension so you can fully back-up your settings, and other Addons, and Themes etc. that were within your FEBE backed up profile, so you can do the re-install of Firefox and then restore your saved profile that encompasses all of or most of what you presently don't want to loose. You could still do a FULL PROFILE FEBE, and re-install Firefox, and do a FULL PROFILE RESTORE, and if you might no longer have a virus problem after the restore. If so, your in good shape. I would find and run a good quality Anti-Virus scan, and if you wish to try to catch what you might have missed with the new scan I also suggest from www.IOBit.com that you add 2 programs that look to be better at catching problems than most other scan and repair utilities. The programs I suggest you add are called Advanced System Care - presently is version 5, and IOBit Malware Fighter, and one other. Their super powerful Smart Defrag that is faster than most Defrag programs and their is only one other Defrag program that comes close to it's power, and that is Diskepper, and you get Smart Defrag for free, and it's better, and faster than the others in my opinion. ASC Advanced System Care will clean your system and make it run faster specially if you have noticed it is slowing down for one reason or another , and it will do this with less resources than the other programs that you may already be using. The only thing they lack at present is an Anti-Virus portion which would add much more value to the already super programs. Good Luck. Let me know what you think after trying the noted programs. You should be very satisfied of the results.

  • I can not open Firefox.

    I can not open Firefox. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I tried rloading and this didn't help. I have been using Firefox for years and have never had this problem.

    Hey gioele,
    Sorry to hear your problem. I think somehow your profile has got corrupt. Uninstalling Firefox won't fix this problem. Please follow the instructions from the link below. Hope it's gonna fix your problem.

  • Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox.

    Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox. The processor is 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 and 768 MB DDR SDRAM memory. Is it possible to go back to an earlier version that was running very well on my Mac?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • When I try to download Firefox 5.0 (I have 4.0) I get the box that indicates that Acrobat could not open 'Firefox 5.0.dmg' . Mac OS10.6.7 Help!

    I keep getting the Software Update for Firefox 5.0. I try to update after viewing the informatiion choosing English and MacOS X. It downloads and then I get the message: "Acrobat could not open ‘Firefox 5.0.dmg’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded)."
    I would be most grateful for any help; I am 78 and trying but not succeeding. Ah, the scourge of age.

    Sorry, Firefox 4.0.1 isn't supported any longer, that's why you are getting re-directed. Firefox 5.0 is a security update for 4.0.1; Firefox 4.0 didn't get that update, but Firefox 3.6.18 did. Best to stick with 3.6.18 until whatever you are using for those logins is updated for Firefox 5.0.
