I cannot open Firefox anymore and i have a MAC

I tried to download Internet Explorer for Mac and Firefox crashed. I downloaded another Firefox and it asked me to update some programs and it crashed again. I have Firefox 2.0 as i managed to open that but would really prefer my most recent one. I have never had this problem before and have been using Firefox for years now. I can use Safari and Google Chrome but want Firefox as it has all of my bookmarks and saved things. Help!!! I sent a report but never heard back or got any crash ID.

Does anyone respond to these questions?

  • I cannot open firefox anymore...I recieve the following error message....Error platform version '8.0'is not compatible with minversion = 7.0.1 maxversion = 7.0.1 How do I fix this?

    cannot use firefox

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

  • Please help, I cannot open Firefox at all! crash ID: cf9fa02c-586d-4033-999b-a7a242110501 and Signature: mcffplg.dll@0x1cb20

    It happened a few weeks a go, I have re-installed the Firefox but still didn't work. I can only open Internet Explorer. I cannot open Firefox and Google Chrome at all!. I am using windows 7.
    Please help, I want my Firefox back...

    The crash is reporting a problem with the McAfee Site Advisor (mcffplg.dll), try uninstalling the McAfee Site Advisor and see if you can then start Firefox.

    thisnthing keeps on probing itself ... i wonder why. (.66 is the NMH  .76 is my pc ... ) it is also strange it cannot retrieve its own mac address....
    Oh , you can turn off the logging features again when done. it only takes time and diskspace on the NMH
    And before i get flamed : the comments i make about 'broken source' : i have no gripe with linux. I have a problem with companies that grab a bunch of stuff that is free ,slap it together, sell it for a lot of money and give no support to the people that bought it. They want all the money for no effort .. they turn open source into broken source ...

  • When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.

    When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.
    Quando eu fecho o Firefox, a janela fecha normalmente, mas o firefox.exe ainda aparece no Processos do Gerenciador de Tarefas. Eu tenho que Finalizar Tarefa pra abrir o Firefox de novo, e quando abre vai para a página de Restaurar Última Sessão.

    I have the same problem - every time I close firefox (using either the red x or by selecting file ---> exit) the program appears to close normally, but the firefox.exe *32 process continues to run. If I try to re-open firefox normally I get a message that the program is still running and I need to go into task manager and manually kill the process.
    I could also kill the process from the command prompt, but both of those methods are slow and annoying. This issue has only been occurring for the last 24 hours or so; to the best of my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new software or updated any plug-ins that would have caused a switch from firefox's normal awesomeness. Norton doesn't show any new viruses or other nastiness on my computer.
    I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

    Check the age of the files you wish to open.
    Keynote 6 (the latest you downloaded) will opne Keynote 5 (KN09) files but nothing earlier. For that KN5 will act as an intermediate format (you save KN4 and earlier as KN5), then KN6 can open the resultanr files.
    Make sure you have a backup of your original files, in case KN6 cannot replicate some of your earlier builds and transitions.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.
