Firefox 4 does not start but I can see Firefox.exe in Windows Task Manager, nothing in Applications
I am on Window 7/32bits machine. When I start Firefox 4 nothing loads. I looked into Windows Task Manager, I can firefox.exe in the processes but nothing in Applications.
Here are few things I have tried but didn't work for me.
- Restarted Computer and tried to open Firefox, waited for half an hour nothing happens.
- did 'End Process' in Windows Task Manager, Processes and tried in again
- reinstalled into different folder and tried to run from there, still the result is same.
Is there anything else I can try to resolve this issue.See:

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Why do I have 2, 3, 4 copies of Firefox shown in Windows Task Manager Processes Tab?
After a few days, Firefox will get real slow, has lots of disk activity when opening a new Tab or going to another website. When I look in Task Manager, I'll see as many as 4 instances of Firefox in the Processes Tab. Even if I restart Firefox, some or all of these processes remain and I have to manually stop them to get Firefox back to speed. What is wrong or is it something I'm doing?
Hello there,
You can test to see whether one of your plugins is causing Firefox to use too much memory by selectively disabling some of them:
1. Click the menu button and choose Add-ons.
2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel.
3. Click on a plugin in the list to select it, then select Never Activate to disable it.
Repeat for some of the plugins in your list.
After disabling some of your plugins, close and restart Firefox, and observe its memory usage. If you don't see an improvement, you can enable those plugins again and try with a different set.
If none of the above solutions work then please see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram
Hope this helps! -

I-tunes 10.2 will not Launch, but appears in Task Manager Processes
Hi all,
apologies for the repost here, but i have yet to find a solution and im new to the boards (i hope im not breaking etiquette!)
My problem is with Itunes not launching in windows 7 64 bit.
* I have uninstalled/reinstalled all itunes/quicktime components - no luck
* I have tried disableing the bonjour service - no luck
* When i try to launch the application it shows in task manager as a running 32bit process, but there is no GUI.
* I have tried a new user account, no luck
* I have gone through the apple support suggestions around launch issues
* I have run msconfig and closed off all processes bar itunes, still no luck.
* I have deleted the itunes config files.
* I have tried loading with another library.
* I have updated windows with all updates and SP1.
* i have tried to download an old version of itunes and install it, and even now it wont work!
At this stage i have tried every suggestion on every forum i can find, barring two that i found this morning which i will try in an hour or twos time (im in work haha), 1 - to simply repair the installations of itunes/Qt/Bonjour, i think thats a longshot, and 2 - to delete replace the icuuc40.dll file with a version from an older release of ITunes.
im beginning to think that i-tunes 10.2 just doesnt work on the windows 64bit OS! At this stage im thinking ill have to use songbird or winamp to transfer files to my apple devices, what a shocker.
I would greatly greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer as im pretty stressed about it now!
Many thanks,
Dave
p.s. as ive ran a clean boot is it fair to say that its not a conflict issue?Wow, Amzingly guys i think ive stumbled upon a solution. i used system config (msconfig) to reboot stooping all startups and all service (hiding microsoft serviced before disabling all)
upon reboot i ran itunes... nothing happened and i went into control panel, thinking id uninstall some bits n pieces... 5 minutes later i was prompted from itunes telling me that bonjour was inactive and asking if i wanted itunes to attempt a repair, i said yes. Sure enough a couple of minutes later itunes was up and running.. i had hope.
I used MSconfig to reinstate a normal startup.
And sure enough itunes seems to be working fine now.
This was an UBER frustrating time. I hope my post might help SOMEbody out there!
regards
dave

Question
I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I just upgraded itunes. And now I cannot see my iPads or iPod in the left margin of itunes? But I can still see them in my Windows Explorer?
Hey there MattSK123,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory. When it does that I can't do anything unless I just use the power button to shut the computer down or use the task manager to "End Process". I do not like to do either of these so I usually just sit and wait for it to fix itself then later it does it all over again.
Also when I was doing defrag on the file type tab it showed two Mozilla Firefox so I am wondering if this is the issue but I only see one in the control panel.I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory.

I upgraded to firefox 4 and it asked me to restart the system, since then it stopped working. it just won't open. I have windows xp and when I click on the firefox icon I see firefox.exe in the windows task manager under 'processes' I tried ending the task but it wont help. i also tried removing and reinstalling.. didn't help either :( I also checked if Kaspersky might be blocking it but it isn't
The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (3.6) and it started working fine... I dont even want to try upgrading it to 4 again..

But when I try to open Firefox again, I get this error message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. But I can't find any way to close Firefox. Twice, I've tried removing and reloading Firefox, but it's still happening. Any ideas how to deal with this?
Open the Windows Task Manager > '''Processes''' tab and look for '''firefox.exe'''.

I can't download itunes on my windows 7 laptop (it used to be installed but seems to have disappeared).
An error message appears near the end of the (ultimately failed) install attempt saying something like 'apple mobile device does not have the right privileges'until the last programme finishes downloading then it won't open the file because it can't be found.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files can be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.) -
I have been using FF for the last 8 years. Starting from today of July the 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and say goodbye to FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows task manager.
I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.

I have a new hp tower running windows 8.1 and have been trying to install the adobe reader. The installer downloads (1meg) and I choose to run it but it just sits with an empty screen. I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing. After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task. What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine? I've tried using chrome, firefox and explorer and get the same results with each.
Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
