I'm unable to load firefox after closing unless I reboot, what is causing this problem?

After I have run firefox 5.0 and then closed it, I can no longer open firefox until I reboot. I have never experienced this problem before this version.
John

I'm pretty sure that Firefox version 5.0 has a built-in Twitter tab. Whatever the case may be, I downloaded Firefox version 5.0.1 this morning. I learned that if you right-click on a tab, that a menu box will appear on the screen. One of the options in that menu box is "Pin as App Tab." If I go to the http://twitter.com web site, and then right-click on the corresponding Twitter tab, and then select "Pin as App Tab," then a small Twitter tab will appear to the right of the orange-and-white "Firefox" tab ( in the upper left-hand corner of the Firefox web browser screen ). Then I can click on that Twitter tab and go directly to the http://twitter.com web site. However, when I exit the Firefox version 5.0.1 web browser, and then immediately re-launch it, the separate Twitter tab is gone. Is there any way, within Firefox version 5.0.1, that I can make the separate Twitter tab permanent after selecting "Pin as App Tab"? Thank you for your assistance regarding this matter.

  • Why do I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." when loading Firefox with no explanation as to what is causing the problem?

    When I load Firefox (since an upgrade to 3.6) I get error messages before it starts stating the quote above. The message does not specify which update and so when stability problems arose I stopped using Firefox in preference for another browser. I also get a message prompting me about Java which doesn't happen with any other browser. If I cannot get rid of these messages then I will continue to prefer other browsers.

    No, if I used the version of Firefox that I had then not only did I have the problem that I described but also it crashed regularly.
    As I said, the latest version does not appear to have these problems so with any luck I will be able to say that the upgrade has resolved the issues but it is too soon to be sure.

  • Firefox 5.0 is supposed to have a separaret Twitter tab, but I noticed today that that tab is missing. What is causing this problem?

    Firefox version 5.0 has a separate Twitter tab built into this web browser. However, today I have been having problems with launching the Firefox browser. An error message appears, after attempting to launch the browser, which states that the Firefox browser is already running, and that the process needs to be closed or that the computer needs to be restarted. After restarting my computer and launching the Firefox browser, I noticed that the built-in Twitter tab ( near the upper left-hand corner of the browser ) was missing. What is causing these problems?

  • I get a pop-up warning window stating that something is tricking firefox to update, what's causing this problem and is it serious?

    Every other time I'm using Firefox, I get a warning pop-up window stating that something is trying to trick Firefox to update. I'm not sure if I have a virus or any other unwanted program that is trying to corrupt my computer. Please let me know what it could be. I have McAfee and it's actively running every time I use the internet, so I'm not sure whats causing this problem. Please help. Thank You.

    It's a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • Firefox cannot dowload my knidle books on amazon, IE does, what could cause this problem?

    When I try to download my digital books at Amazon.com, it takes me to the log in screen. When I log in it does nothing. Using IE, I click and it downloads the book. I did not have this problem the last time I downloaded. I changed nothing in FireFox, however some of the add-ons have updated.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • I haven't been able to access the internet using Firefox for over a week. What is causing this? Is there an issue with Firefox?

    I can't access the internet using Firefox. My internet connection is working perfectly fine as I can access the internet using internet explorer. I don't feel safe using internet explorer and prefer Firefox. Please help!

    See --> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]
    Your firewall may not recognize the new version of Firefox; it is just doing its job. You may need to remove references to Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list, then try to go to any website, let your firewall detect the new version of Firefox, and give Firefox the permissions needed by your firewall to access the internet.

  • My itunes continues to play very faintly after I quit the program, what could cause this?

    My itunes continues to play very faintly after I quit the program.  I actually though I was going crazy but it does continue to play after the program has been shut down.  Very, very low volume though.  I can't pause it or turn it up or down.  I do us imatch.  Please Help!!!!

    Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

  • My sound will drop or stop after a while -- say 15-10 minutes or so. What could cause this problem?

    The subject line says it all. I have sound but it doesn't continue on . . .   After a short while it just stops. I have to restart a file or a program to get the sound back.  I don't know a lot about sound cards but could be the problem.  This stopping of sound is the same on all programs, not just one or two.  Thanks for any help.

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

  • Since I installed Firefox I have not been able to send emails from aol. What is causing this problem and how do I fix it?

    Whether I am responding to an email or composing a new one I have not been able to consistently send emails since I downloaded FF. Once or twice I managed to send one but do not know why they went through since typically do not get past the technical problem message. The error always says there is a technical problem but does not specify the actual problem.

  • I am unable to print to the Lightning PDF software (by Avanquest Software) after updating to 6.02. It worked with the previous version of Firefox. Is there a patch or fix for this problem?

    I am unable to print to the Lightning PDF software (by Avanquest Software) after updating to 6.02. It worked with the previous version of Firefox. Is there a patch or fix for this problem?
    This is the error that is received:
    Cannot open file "C:\Users\Calandra\AppData\Local\Temp\Ask_a_Question__Firefox_Help.pdf". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
    Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to say that, but the entire system seems ill-designed.
    If I understand correctly, then to add a new Section to a site, you have to subclass SubSection and somewhow integrate that into the system?
    I would be my expectation that you only need to subclass SubSection when you tried to introduce a new type of SubSection.
    The title & all other natural language Strings should never be hardcoded in Java code, but rather taken from some external storage (Database, XML, flat files, ...).

    I had nearly the same problem. I am also a user of UltraEdit from IDM Computer Solutions. Are you? My problem was fixed by adjusting to remove a conflict between the two. (both use same-named DLL but different versions.) If this sounds like your issue, post here and I'll reply with more detail.
