I recive a message to close firefox when I try to open it, but I don't see any open window???

Sometimes I try to open a web page and receive a message that Firefox is already running and that I should close it before going to the new web page, I can not see any sign of an open window and am unable to do so. I have to restart my laptop. Suggestions?? Many thx.

Its probably because you have just closed another session of firefox and the cookies did not clear. you should do a ctrl-alt-del go to processes click on firefox and again on end task. this should fix your problem.

  • None of my Firefox icons will open Firefox today. And when I try to reinstall it, the message says Firefox is already open. But I don't see it.

    Every morning I click on the Firefox icon and it opens. Today it will not. When I try to reinstall it, a message appears that Firefox is already open. But I cannot see it. Of course I can use Chrome or Internet Explorer (as I'm doing), but I like Firefox. And I also want to know what the problem is ... in case something serious is wrong with my computer.

    Hello,
    * Go to your task manager (right click your task bar and select "Start Task Manager" - http://www.howtogeek.com/108742/how-to-use-the-new-task-manager-in-windows-8/)
    * Check if Firefox is on that list. If it is - select it and End Task.
    * Try opening Firefox again; if it still doesn't open after a while, repeat the above two steps and then try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]]
    ** On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    ** When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    * '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    * ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • I am uanble to open or close firefox. when I try to run new download it states close firefox. it is not open on my computer. I am unable to open it. Last time change was made was July 5, 2011.

    I am uanble to open or close firefox. I usually use firefox. When I updated or download something it disable firefox. Last change July 5, 2011. I have tried downloading it a gain but it states I have existing program that is open and won't let me run it. Help. I love and trust firefox

    Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

  • HT4515 Just got a Iphone 4. To connect to my home wi-fi I put in the password but I don't see any button to "connect" or "enter". There is  "join" button but nothing happens when I touch that.

    Just got a I Phone 4. I typed my wifi password to connect to my wifi but don't see a "connect" button or "enter". I tried "join" but it did nothing? How do I connect to my wi-fi so I don't use cell minutes when at home?  Also, How do I know for sure by looking at the phone if the phone is utilizing the wi-fi versus cellular data minutes?

    You need to read the manual.
    If you are connected to wi-fi, you will see the wi-fi symbol instead of "3G" by the signal strength bar.

  • HT4759 My photo stream is on but i don't see any photos when i log onto icloud

    My photo stream is shown on my iphone and ipad but when i log into icloud on my pc i dont see photos as an option.

    Photo stream photos are not available on icloud.com.  If you want to view your photos on the web from a computer browser, you have to add them to a shared stream with the "public website" option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This will give you a private web to use and/or share with other for viewing them on the web.

  • I am trying to download the new version of Firefox but when I try its says to close all firefox connections but I don't have any open. The only open window is the one to start the download only

    I am trying to download new version of Firefox. After I try to run the program it states to close all Firefox versions but there is no Firefox open except for the download. What else can I do

    Do you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
    If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
    * Ctrl+j
    * Tools > Downloads
    * History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
    Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
    Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
    For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
    Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site.

  • The plug-in check program states that there is an Adobe Acrobat updated version, but when I click on the orange button I don't see any such update

    The Check Your Plugins program I run for Firefox 3.6.13 under WXP gives me an orange button stating that the Adobe PDF plugin is outdated and suggests I click to update, but when I do so I do am not taken to an update for the plugin but to a download of 47MB for Adobe Reader X. I find nothing about an updated plugin on the Adobe site or under Adobe downloads. Surely this plugin is not a 47MB program.

    TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
    The failure in communication is two parted:
    1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
    2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
    therefore confused clients.
    For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
    Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
    Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
    Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
    downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
    This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
    It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

  • I tried the free trial version of adobe after effects. When i click the setup button in the adobe cs4 folder, it says you can not finish the installation when adobe media player is running, but i don't have it open i keep trying and the same thing happens

    What do i do

    Actually I simply would uninstall anything related to Adobe AIR, including AMP or the Acrobat.com widget. If you just uninstall AMP, one of ther others is going to bite you in your behind. It's a flwa in the installer that does not correctly detect and handle outdated versions of Adobe AIR.

  • When I try to download firefox 4 I get message to close firefox even though it is not open.

    When I try to download Firefox 4.0. I get a message to "close Firefox then continue," even though it is already closed.

    Its probable still running in the background. Hold Ctrl, Alt and Del, then when task managers pops up, go to the process tab, look for firefox.exe, select it then press end process bottom right.

  • Error message to close firefox appears upon app launch and indicates that a copy of firefox is already open. How do I find the open copy and close it permanently?

    When I go into my daughter's account and try to launch Firefox (she was previously using Safari) an error message pops up indicating to "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." Except that I don't see an open copy of the app, unless it somehow is launched at login, a setting I don't see either. Firefox works fine on other user accounts.

    Is there still a default profile folder present?
    * /Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/&lt;profile&gt;/
    If not then delete the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file profiles.ini]<br />
    That will cause Firefox to create a new default profile.
