  • Can't get Firefox to open after downloading

    I've used firefox for years and love it. recently my kids downloaded several programs that had extra programs attached that infested my computer. After removing all kids of junk, I determined I needed to uninstall fire fox and reinstall. I did this, and when I reinstalled firefox, I cannot open the firefox program. origionally I got a error message, but now the computer just makes a noise and nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox several times.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

    I can't get Firefox to open after I download it. I don't understand why I am getting the error message I am getting. I am the only user of the PC- what does I don;t have appropriate permissions mean or why do I get it?

  • I get an error message after downloading the latest update. It says to download only and then to install manually. How do I fix this?

    I get an error message after downloading the latest itunes update.  It says to download only and then to manually install. How do I do this?  Or, is there some way to make the download work?  Thank you.

    The message is 'errors have occurred, go to tools>download only and try installing manually'.  BTW, I am using Google Chrome.

  • Can't get Firefox to start after performing OS security updates

    Just did the most recent updates on OS-X 10.6.8, and now I can't get Firefox to start. It comes up and says that it is having problems (the "embarassing" window) and that I should try closing tabs. However, it's not responding at all, so finally I have to resort to force quit. I've try cold starting the computer with no effect.

    Let's try this. You said you are trying to start Firefox 8 on the problem machine? Can you try downloading Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], install that, restart your computer, then see if it still acts up?
    If it does, try running Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]].

  • TS3212 I can't get my itunes to start downloading the new update on my pc.

    About two weeks ago, my itunes on my pc said there was an update available, but I put off updating it until I can do it at night when I have more download capacity available. Now I can't get the message asking to update to come up again, and when I search for available updates, it says one is available, but when I select to download it, nothing happens. I've tried over several days now. Restarted computer and itunes, but still can't get the download to start. Never had this problem before.I have Itunes version 10.6.3.25 on my pc right now and it says version 10.7 is available. I can't get the download to start off the Apple website either.
    Thanks,
    Liz

    I can't get the download to start off the Apple website either.
    Could you walk us through what happens when you try to download an installer from the Apple website, please?

  • Can not get firefox to work after downloading 4 then going back to 3.6

    Firefox had to reinstall adobe reader and now firefox will not open nothing works and 4 is just plan crap

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong. 
    Thanks,

  • After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

    After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to new version of Firefox

    Cannot believe NO ONE from Firefox is responding to this issue; particularly since I don't seem to be the only one with the problem!!!!

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

  • I can not get itunes to open after I have downloaded it and closed it and tried to get bck into it

    I can't get itunes to open after i download it.  I close it to come back to it and it won't open or anything like it wasn't downloaded at all. Help please

    The file that I'm have issues with in itunes is the file called iTunes Libary.itl. 
    So just to get itunes to open I had to delete that file and then sync all of my music back into itunesday, is there anyway so I do not have to keep doing that?

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

    I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • Can't get Firefox to open

    I can't get FireFox to open. It says it is running and I need to close the windows. But can't even get it to open to do anything. I have rebooted and cleaned the cache--nothing helps. It won't let me uninstall--says I have to close the windows that it is already running. I can't close anything when the page won't come up. I can't uninstall or re-install it won't open to do anything. Need help..Thank you My icon for Mozilla Firefox is on the start up page but when I click on it--I get nothing.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
