I can't open Firefox when I first startup, I have to reboot to open it, why?

I can't open Firefox when I first boot up. I have to reboot to open it. Does anyone know why?

Any sort of error or warning message when Firefox won't start? Have you checked to see if a '''firefox.exe''' process is running in the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab?

When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
Hope it works for you.

I can't open safari.why?

I Can't open safari why?

Is this some kind of riddle? Can you give us a hint?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying i hav'nt got a valid certificate, and safari can't open it, why has this started happening?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying Safari can't open it Because the certificate is not valid, why has this just started happening, and how do I correct it?

Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault). You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.

How can I download Firefox when it keeps telling me to close Firefox before downloading?

I have tried both 'run' and 'save' with the same results.
I have checked to make sure there are no Mozilla or Firefox running in the background.
I had Firefox running fine 2 days ago - it has always been my primary search engine.
I am running Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron.

yes I am. windows isn't giving me any prompts other than the original one authorizing firefox to run the installation program before the download starts then part way into the download firefox asks me to reboot so the download it starting then it tells me I can't finish the download because I have to reboot because of a previous uninstall that needs to complete so when I reboot it should finish the installation but it doesn't and then when I try the download again I get the same thing again like it's stuck in a loop

I can't use Firefox when applying for jobs on LinkedIn.

I am unable to use Firefox when applying for a job through LinkedIn. It will not allow me to upload a PDF of my resume/letter. However, if I switch to Safari, I am able to do so. is there an easy fix for this or is it something that needs to be resolved by Firefox. I prefer to use Firefox, but will use Safari for this purpose if that is the only solution.
Thank you for your assistance.

When will there be a "fix" for this? Maybe I should change browsers.

How can I get Firefox 3.6 to startup and load at a particular screen position - using cmd-line or other, in a Solaris SPARC/UNIX env? The xterm program uses the -geometry args as a manner of specifying position on the screen.

I am running Firefox 3.6 - on Solaris 10 SPARC env.
I am using the X11 - TWM(X-windows Manager). I have tried to alter the .twmrc files for the WM, but I need firefox to declare the position in the client program, else the TWM will force me to place it every time. When I use the xterm with the "-geometry" I can specify the position the xterm is opened and positioned there automatically. I have tried using the Xresource configuration settings(maybe I am doing something wrong here), but the X-server ignores it... so I believe that only firefox app can manage the positioning?
I am out of ideas, I suppose the next step is to question the source... Any ideas of how I can achieve this auto positioning in TWM. (I have been looking into X-events to manage the placement, but this is messy)

The version of Apache that comes default with Solaris might not be compiled for that I am not positive though. I downloaded and compiled Apach 2 and compiled mod_ssl and got it working with no problems you might want to try that.

Ever since I updtades to iTunes 10.5, i can't open it Why?

I can't open iTunes, It says: Invalid support I can't Install It Why? Mac Os X WHY?

There are a lot of Firefox 5 users still running Windows XP, but everyone's memory and drive space and graphics are a little different, so it's hard to make a blanket statement.
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and re-run the Firefox 5 installer to see whether that corrects the problem.
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If the installer won't run until you exit Firefox, the program may be hung in memory. You can use the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to shut it down. Check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab.
Does that help?

I can't open Pages, why not?

I downloaded Yosemite OS and now I can't open a document in pages. It keeps telling me to upgrade Pages. I click on it to upgrade and it wants me to pay $19.99. I don't understand this and I must have that file open as it contains all my new house costs. I would have never downloaded the new OS if I knew it was going to take Pages away. If I uninstall the new operating system will it go back to the old and give me my documents back?

We are using CSS 6 for our yearbook. Starting today pages are giving message that we are missing a bunch of plug-ins so files can't open. We are 2 weeks from printer deadline so thia has to get fixed fast. We didn't update anything with the program. We ca

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

X99S BIOS can't find boot drive on first startup

I bought a new computer with a MSI x99S motherboard and SSD primary drive and Window 7 installed. On every first startup I get a text display stating no boot disk found. The work around is to bring the bios up (Click BIOS 4 version E7885121 V17.22B3(HM3) ) and exit. The boot order is correct in the settings. This happens every time I start up, I have to go into BIOS make no changes and exit which then goes to a successful OS boot. Something if fubar. OS disk is fine... Very frustration, I got to the point of just leaving it on but after a few days it crashes, so back to the bios boot nightmare. What am I missing?

I think what you bought is a whole PC. The BIOS version seems not a standard BIOS. We can't help since we don't know what did it modify in this vsrsion. I'd suggest report the issue to where you bought.
Also share the boot sequence if possible.

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

Hello,
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 [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

I can't remove firefox as my starting page, I have even unistalled it - I have tried tools:general etc and I want a blank page when I start!

I can't save any changes in Firefox. I want a blank starting page, not to be asked about passwords everytime, adjust my security etc. Nothing works. I go to Tools, make the changes, and the next time I open Firefox, it is as if nothing has been saved.
I have even tried to uninstall and install it, but that doesn't work either. Should I go for Chrome forever, and just unistall Firefox, because this is so frustrating.
