I have no navigation bar and firefox will not open in safe mode to reset to default config. Reinstalling doesn't work. Any help please.

I have no navigation bar ever since I closed it to gain more space on the screen. It won't re-open. Firefox will not open in safe mode, but opens immediately in normal mode with the new improper config, so I cannot reset to default config. I erased Firefox and re-installed and it still opens with the same faulty config. Why does Firefox not give me the safe mode dialog box, why can I not re-open the nav bar, and how can I do these two things, please? Firefox is currently unusable for me without a nav bar and without access to the default settings in safe mode. I cannot research the extensions I'm running since I have no nav bar to go to Tools, Add-ons, Extensions.

Downloaded latest Firefox version. Firefox will not open in safe mode. Consistent crash report.

Responded to upgrade notice for Firefox 11. Downloaded and installed following directions. Message about RealPlayer add in needing manual update. No other errors with install. Displays crash reporter when opening. In safe mode, also displays crash reporter. Will not open. Unable to do anything in Firefox. This note is written in IE.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Firefox will not open, it goes right to crash reporter, and it will not open in safe mode(crash reporter again).

I added adblock, that seemed to work OK. The same day I was tracking down slow download speeds with my ISP and they had me go to, I think...I can't remember to well, the tools menu and erase cookies, passwords, etc. I don't remember what else was erased,
in order to "speed up my browser". Maybe I shouldn't have blindly done that. Anyway, when I tried to start Firefox it just goes straight to the crash reporter. It opens fine under Admin and other users.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't usually solve anything, because most problems are contained in the profile.

Firefox crashes when opening and will not open in safe mode

Recently FF3 started crashing when opening. It will not open in safe mode as well. I have uninstalled it including deleting the install folder and profile folders as well as registry entries. Upon reinstallation is will still not launch in any mode.
I have scanned for malware with several scanners and that has not found anything.

Anti-virus is Trend Micro Worry Free for Business. I uninstalled it and Firefox and then reinstalled only Firefox and still get the same thing.
I do not know what to try next.

Safari AND Firefox will not open Flickr or Yahoo

Hi
I'm running MAC OS X 10.7.5, Safari version 6.1.3 and Firefox 29.0.1.
Both Flickr and any related Yahoo page will NOT open on either browser.
WHen I try to open Flickr, Firefox comes up with the error message 'Unable to connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.flickr.com'
Safari comes up with a grey screen and the error message 'Safari can't connect to the server. Safari can't open the page https://www.flickr.com because Safari can't connect to the server www.flickr.com'.
When I try Yahoo the Yahoo home page loads but everything is in blue text and a very basic version. If I click on any of the links the same error messages as above show up.
This has been happening for about 6 months. I was originally only using Safari, but installed Firefox only this evening in an attempt to try and solve the problem, but it has not helped. I get the same problem on both browsers. Safari worked fine before. I cannot remember anything happening or any change of setting that may have set this off. I have trawled every forum imaginable and followed all the advice I can find, to no avail. I have tried:
Clearing out caches. Regularly.
Resetting Safari
Changing the DNS settings
Looking into the Ipv6 settings (there is no option to turn it 'off'. Changing it to 'link local' only turned the WiFi off
Turning the Firewall off.
Turning the Firewall back on.
I have not tried changing any router settings as I'm not sure how. But I can open Yahoo and Flickr no problem using my HTC phone so it can't be a router problem? I am tearing my hair out here! I read somewhere that Yahoo and Flickr are very closely linked, so the problem must be related to a setting with these sites?
Can anyone out there help? Please!!

Marwood71,
yes, Yahoo! bought Flickr back in 2005, so they are closely linked.
If you’re trying to use Flickr’s secure HTTP site, then try connecting to https://secure.flickr.com/ instead.

While on Firefox my computer crashed and firefox will not open. Everthing else runs fine, how do I fix this?

I'm using a new Asus netbook and have no idea what caused the crash. I tried restarting firefox in the crash pop up window, nothing happens. I tried quitting firefox and then restarting in the crash window, it sends a report and that's all. I cant open firefox. I have power cycled the computer several times, tried to checking and install all plug ins, re-install firefox, uninstall and then reinstall ( could not reinstall), I restored the computer to the previous day and it still wont open. I tried opening it safe mode, I tried opening the computer in safemode, I still can't open firefox. I also tried to test for a virus by creating a notepad document on the desktop and naming in firefox.exe. Notepad ran fine. I also renamed firefox.exe to firefox3.exe. This didn't work and changed the name back.
What do I do now?
The computer I'm sending this from is not the one that crashed

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

My firefox crashes when I try to open it and it will not start in safe mode.

I have updated all of my plug-ins, but it still will not open.

I have a Imac and I have 8.1 iphoto and it will not open my library it started after i tried to close all the windows with no luck and had to force the system down by turning it off. everythig else came back up olay except Iphoto

My iphto will not open after I had to shut down my imac due to it not being able to close iphoto . It just says opeartion not able to open.

Try at the very least to update your iPhoto version to 8.1.2.

Error 404, website not found. Uninstalled, installed, firewall fixed to allow programs. Will not open in safe mode.

Google chrome works fine, but Firefox gets an error code 404. Windows Firewall is configured to allow the program, I have uninstalled/reinstalled, and it won't open, not even in safe mode. Still a 404 code. The same thing is happening to Safari. I can't fix settings in Firefox if it doesn't open. Any other suggestions?

Once Firefox is open, if you press Ctrl+n to open a new window, does it show the same error or does it work and show your home page?
'''No! I get the same error.''' Check your home page setting as the URL may be corrupted. These articles should point the way:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Any improvement?
'''Yes! That works.''' Check for a hijacked shortcut. Here's how:
Right-click your Firefox shortcut/icon > Properties > Shortcut tab. The "Target" for 32-bit Windows 7 should be this (no more, no less):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If anything else follows that, remove it. Save your change and test the icon again.

I have AVG 2011 Free and Firefox will not connect to update server

Firefox 4 tries to update but cannot connect to the update server. I have AVG 2011 Free Version which is not covered in your help page. It does not have the facilities that your suggestions for earlier versions of AVG does (ie anywhere that shows firewall details) I have tried the repair facility but this has not worked either.
Thanks,
Cari

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.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 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

I enter a website address in the address bar and firefox will not go to the website

What needs to be done to correct this problem?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

All of the App Tabs I have set when I close Firefox will not open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.

the browser opens without any tabs just the main bar and the tabs below it

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
