I did an update and now Firefox will not load.

We were asked to do an update for firefox yesterday and ever since that we haven't been able to use it. It say's "Problem loading page, the connection has timed out.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried a system restore. Today I tried to go into the profile manager and delete any we had and reinstall firefox again. I am lost, anyone know what to do?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

  • I updated and now firefox will not launch

    I updated to firefox 8 and now I cant open the browser

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 updated, and now Firefox will not open at all on my computer. Tried numerous times to turn computer off and then on again. Everything else is closed.

    I updated as I was asked. The computer was on for a while and then turned off. Now, it won't open firefox at all. A big red 'x' and an error message pops up. Message says: The procedure entry point XRE_GetFileFromPath could not be located in the dynamic link library xul. dll.
    I can open an old internet explorer, but then I can't respond to your e-mails for confirmation as they must go thru the mozilla browser. I AM CONTACTING YOU THROUGH MY HUSBANDS COMPUTER.... NOT MINE CUZ I CAN'T RESPOND TO YOUR LINKS....
    This is very frustrating. I just want my old browser and bookmarks back! Please help.

    When resetting the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem, the problem is likely due to a a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

  • I downloaded internet explorer 9 and now firefox will not load web sites

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    THIS IS WHAT COME UP WHEN I OPEN FIREFOX---

    Check the Homepage setting to be sure that you aren't opening a download page.<br />
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.

    I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open on my computer... HELP!!!!

    Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
    What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
    Any errors?
    Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.

  • I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all.

    I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all. It tells me "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." Also, that "Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem." And it give a bunch of code. This is my main browser. What is happening here? My OS X is 10.6.7. Has this caused a problem?

    If you right-click on your Photoshope.exe, select Properties, there should be a Compatibility tab. There you can select Windows XP, Windows 2000, Winows 98 or 95. One of these should allow you to open Photoshop 6, unless you mean CS6.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you following these instructions.
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

  • I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

    I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
    The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?

    Firefox will no longer run on my computer. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. Installed the updates and now nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3) edit. I'm no techie so I have no clue what is causing this or what to do. I love firefox and miss it greatly. Anyone know what I can do to get it back?

    Can you install a new profile? See [[Managing Profiles]] for me details and let us know if you need additional assistance.
