I suddenly cannot open Firefox

I turned on my windows vista computer and it would not start properly so it resolved the problems, then started up.
Since then i cannot open Firefox, i click on the icon and nothing opens. I have tried shutting down/restarting but still i does not work.

There is a problem fairly soon in the process if profile manager will not start.
You could try in Firefox's [[safe-mode]] next you could try in Windows safemode by using the F8 key.
From what you say I am wondering if you have done a Windows restore of some form and recreated Firefox that way. Firefox does not always restore properly from Windows. You may be looking at re-installing Firefox.
If you consider re-installing do NOT take any options from Windows or Firefox that offers to delete personal settings because that will destroy things like passwords and bookmarks.

Cannot open Firefox. Error Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.16 maxVersion =1.9.2.16

Received an update yesterday that turned off Norton before installing itself. Now cannot open Firefox. Get error message.

This issue can happen if the updater wasn't able to update all the files.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

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.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Cannot open firefox - or reinstall it - after today's update

After updating Firefox today to the newest version, when opening Firefox, I now get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them...I cannot open firefox. I downloaded it again, and when try to RUN, I get the exact same message. Please advise.

I uninstalled FF through control panel, deleted app files and exe. Then downloaded and installed latest FF from Mozilla. Works great now!

Cannot open firefox in more than one window

I cannot open Firefox in more than one window. I deleted and reinstalled the latest version but this did not help. I was able to open Firefox in multiple windows prior to installing an update of Avast. Don't think it should have an effect on Firefox.
Downloaded Seamonkey and have no problem with multiple windows.

Anyone?

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

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. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(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. 
''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.

Do you get any error message whilst trying to open a particular eBay page or do you get a blank page, a spinning beachball or what? Does this happen with all eBay pages or just one page?
If you'll post the url to a particular page, we can check and see if we have any problems accessing the page.

Cannot open firefox on email (AT&T yahoo) icon since updating to v8

Ever since I updated to the new version of Firefox I cannot open Firefox when I click my AT&T yahoo icon. I get an orange screen and it says Mozilla Firefox in the upper left corner. If I click in the left corner it says "not responding." This also happens when I click on the Firefox icon. The only way I have been able to get into Firefox is to right click on the Firefox icon and select "open outside BufferZone." BufferZone is a security program Kim Komando recommended. I did not have this problem until I updated. What can I do to fix this?

AS usaul they have fucked up! too many of these top range sites are fuck with brain dead moorons who do not live in the real world.....
They are now trying to show how clever they are and fuck the world for the rest of us !

I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu

I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu. this happened last night. IE will open and functions properly. I have the latest version of firefox installed. thank you

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 and the plugin-container process.
See:
* [[Server not found]]
* [[Firewalls]]

I cannot open firefox. I am told that it has crashed. I've sent reports but haven't heard back.

I cannot open firefox in safe mode. I have to use internet explorer.

Have you been using Windows System Restore ? that can cause Firefox problems and sometimes problems similar to yours. (Bug702045)
I wonder if more than just the profile may be corrupted in such circumstances? '''If '''the new profile does not work '''try a clean reinstall''' of Firefox 8
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29#Clean_reinstall including deletion of program files

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 ...

I cannot open Firefox at all!!!

I really hope someone can help me with this it's driving me crazy to have to use Internet Explorer.
All of a sudden yesterday when I booted the laptop up, I have been unable to open Firefox. I click on it, and just nothing happens whatsoever. I've tried EVERYTHING, reinstalling, running in Safe Mode (still nothing happens) and literally nothing works.
What can I do? My laptop is a 1525 Inspiron running on Windows Vista.
Thanks, Lisa

hey lisa..i just realized today Im having the same issues..please let me know if you find out anything as I will do for you too if I find out something. I usually go to my Restore Center when I get trojans/virus' and go back a few days and that gets rid of them...but I cannot open my Restore Center either..ugggg!
Good Luck
