Hello <!-- XXX you may wish to edit this greeting, and other parts of the response so that it is personalised to the question asked.--> ,
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.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

  • I can't get iTunes to open from the desktop

    I am using iTunes 7.0.2.16 and the only way I can get it to open is through foxy tunes in my Firefox browser. I would delete it and reinstall it but I have a lot of carefully maintained playlists and I am afraid I will have to redo all of them if I delete iTunes.
    The error message says: the action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
    I get this when I click on the desktop icon or from the start menu.
    Any ideas?
    Also, if I delete and reinstall iTunes will all of my playlists be deleted?
    thanks in advance

    Im not having the exact same problem, but since downloading itunes 7.7, itunes wont recognize my ipod when I connect it.

    ....help??

    I am unable to open mail from the desktop. Any suggestions?

    Windows 7. It has previously opened and worked before and I have not changed anything. I'm at a total loss.
    When I click open it does absolutely nothing. Weird huh?

  • How, when I sign out of Hotmail (MSN), sign back in with a different account, and click on Hotmail, can I get it to open in the same tab (or at least same window) instead of in a new window?

    Under options I've checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Yet often when I must sign back into Hotmail, it opens in a new window. I would prefer that it open in the MSN sign-in tab or at least in the same window, but am not given a choice. If there is no way to control that, can I move tabs from one window to another window?

    Thanks. I read the article but don't understand whether or not I can change the preference with regard to Hotmail.

  • How can I get Recipefox to work with the latest version (16) of Firefox?

    Recipefox worked on previous versions of Firefox. I could use the Grab It feature on many sites & easily retrieve recipes. Now, with the latest version of Firefox, it does not work on any of the recipe websites. Is there a more recent version of Recipefox that works with Firefox version 16, I am using 0.68. Does Recipefox get updated with newer versions of Firefox.

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click and '''Find Updates''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''. You can also '''Remove''' it, and search and install via the Search box on the top right or from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/ AMO].
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20extensions%20with%20Firefox Using Extensions]
    If problems persist you can reset Firefox and start afresh with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recipefox/?src=search recipefox].
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How can I get regular Firefox and not the "Yahoo" version?

    I want firefox, but I don't like the version where I always have the yahoo search page and it won't let me set my own home page.

    It is because you might have downloaded the optimised version of Mozilla Firefox made for Yahoo!
    Do a fresh reinstallation of Mozilla firefox's appropriate version.
    You can download it from here: Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    And yes if you have an add-on of Yahoo search toolbar then you can disable it from the firefox installation toolbars.
    Remember do not download the optimised version made for yahoo. As it will only have that yahoo search home page!
    Thank You!

  • When I close firefox it doesn't really close it seems to be hidden. Then when I try to start it again I have to Alt, Ctrl, Del, go to process , turn it off then hit it to start again. I can not get it to open in the hidden process that it is in

    Apparently when I close Firefox it doesn't really close. I get told when I try to open Firefox later "Firefox is still open, you must close Firefox, Then reopen it. Then I hit Alt, Ctrl & Del, go to process's then I have to close it then reopen it. It does not open until it is closed in process's.

    The process can take a few seconds to close. Sometimes you need to use Task Manager.

  • Firefox on hp laptop always open with option of safe mode or reset how can i get it to open without option.desktop doesn't do this. Doug

    I set up firefox on laptop first and it always requires that i choose to open in safe mode or reset toolbar, how can i change this without reinstalling firefox. My desktop does not require that i do all that it opens with everything in place. I don't know what i did different when i downloaded it on desktop.
    Doug

    Make sure that you do not have the Shift key pressed when you click to desktop shortcut to start Firefox.<br />
    Also check the Properties via the right-click context menu that the -safe-mode switch isn't appended to the target (command) line.

    Apple store reset my Ipod to factory setting, now can get Itunes to recognize the device.  The I Pod won't turn on past the first screen with the pic of the apple on it.

    Try the following:

    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HOW CAN I GET FIREFOX TO OPEN TO THE FIREFOX SCREEN WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER MY NAME AND PASSWORD EACH TIME ON MY MAC.

    You might want to consider using a simpler home page, ideally one that is on your local drive, so you know Firefox is working even if you don't have a connection.
    But your choice is much better than choosing a home page that just interfaces with a search site, when there is a builtin toolbar that can bring up any search that you care to add an engine for.

    There is no installed OS or you have a dead hard drive. Start by booting from the original installer disc that came with the computer or an installer disc that has a later version than the original such as a Snow Leopard DVD. Then you can do this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • How do I get Firefox to open on the desktop from the task bar

    When I click on the icon in the task bar, there is a streak off to the right of the screen. Another click and it streaks back to the icon. It will not show on my desktop. I used it one day, shut down and the next time I opened, I had this problem. Everything is on Firefox and I can't use it???

        imsarah18,
    Hmm that's definitely odd! How long have you been using the application on your phone? Do the messages show up on your phone?

  • HT1152 All this help info tells me to use idvd, but I can't get it to open.  I asked the applecare guy and he says the new macs don't include idvd any more, so why do all the menu and help items say to use it?  I know there's other dvd burner software, wh

    I want to burn my imovie to a dvd.  All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open.  The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it?  Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this?  What's the best one?

    Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.

  • Can't get pdf to open in lyteframe window

    I am using lytebox in my updated website, and one of the lyteframe boxes was to open and frame a pdf file. I had it working in IE, but couldn't get it to work in firefox. It was always forcing me to save the file and wouldn't let me open it.
    I gave up on FF and redownloaded Reader 9 to see if I could get it fixed. I still couldn't get the pdf to open inside the frame in FF, but at least it opens in a new window now. Unfortunately now I can't get it to open inside the frame in IE. The javascript works and a frame opens up, but as soon as it opens, the pdf opens in a new window, leaving a blank, white filled empty frame below.
    In Reader I have "display PDF in browser" selected, and in IE I have "reuse windows for launching shortcuts" selected in the advanced options settings selected. I don't know what else to do. I have deleted and reinstalled Reader 9, and I still have the same problem, and I also reset IE7 in case it was the problem. It still keeps doing the same thing.
    If I can't get this fixed, I'm just going to switch it to html text with a pdf link at the bottom to print, but I would much prefer to just have it link to the original pdf.
    thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  • I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

    I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

    On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
    I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...
    start>programs>accessories> right click on Command Prompt and run as Administrator
    then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
    after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine  ;-)
    I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it
