I updated to FF 7.0.1 and now neither FF nor the profile manager will open, not even in safe mode. Did reinstall, then clean reinstall, still no help.

FF automatically updated to v7. Since then, it won't open. I've tried opening it with the taskmanager open, and firefox.exe appears under processes for maybe 2 seconds, then disappears. I did a reinstall, then a clean reinstall (after copying my profiles folder to a flash drive). Still no luck. Won't open in safe mode, won't open Profiles Manager. I tried to use my son's FF under his login, and it updated and also refuses to work. This is Windows XP.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • TS1717 I just installed the newest version of iTunes and it will not open, not even in safe mode. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey guys,
    My dad just got a new laptop that should be beyond capable of running iTunes. He installed it, tried to run it and it wouldn't open. I uninstalled it, re-downloaded it and tried to run it and it's a no go for me as well. Tried to run a repair and nothing. Tried to open it in safe mode and nothing. Does anyone have any ideas what might be gumming it up? His computer has a 1.5 gig Quad core, 4 Gig of Ram, is running on 64bit Windows 7 that is fully updated as of this morning and iTunes is doing jack squat Please help!

    FYI the sloution which are mentioned above are copied from below link and I just pasted the Information which were required. I am sorry as IT was not aware that the website belong to any of community participants and also I didn't new that copying a required information from a different website is not allowed and we have to write everything on our own or only post the thing that we have researched and if that is the case then I think most of us is in wrong place, because my intention is not to take credit here I am just trying to contribute my time in helping those users where techies like you are not reached.

  • We updated to the new Pages 5.0.1 and now none of our Pages 9 documents will open. Please help.

    We updated to the new Pages 5.0.1 and now none of our Pages 9 documents will open. Please help.

    Since you have Pages '09 documents it is safe to assume that you own Pages '09.  If you bought it from the App Store you should be able to download it again to your new machine.  If you have the install disks, you can install it on the new machine and the find the updater for it.
    Or you can go to the Apple Store (make an appointment) and get them to install iWork '09 on your machine.  They will do this for free if you can provide any proof that you owned it on your older machine.  They may do it for free anyway.
    As others said, your '09 files should open, so perhaps they were '08 files.  In which case you must open with '09 first.  For this reason Apple will sometimes give you a free version of iWork '09.  If you are not near an Apple Store try phoning them.  No guarantees, but others have reported that Apple sent them a free DVD.
    Worse comes to worse, look to buy it on Amazon or eBay, but try Apple first.

  • HT1222 security update 2014-001 1.0 will not load. Not even in safe mode. Says to contact manufacturer?

    I have downloaded the latest Security Update from the Apps store, TWICe and neither time has it taken when installing. I then kept clicking and found a version specific to Mountain Lion, which I downloaded. That didn;t take on installation either, not even in Safe Mode. I have a VERY small amount of GB's per month (10 GB) and am increasingly frustrated with having tod ownload stuff that doesn't seem to work. AND the #1 hovering on the App symbol in the dock drives me nuts. Especially after downloading the same update now THREE TIMES?! Can anyon e help me to understand what's going on, or indeed how to make this thing work?

    Same here.
    Using AppStore twice: "unknown error"
    I thought it might be because the AppStore installation didn't have access to my system keychain for administrator privileges, so I downloading manually, opened the DMG and ran the installer. I got the prompt for my password and the installer went almost to the end, including the "optimizing" step, but still same result:
    The installation failed
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    MacBook Pro 15"
    OS X 10.8.5
    2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1333MHz DDR3
    So how does one contact the manufacturer?
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have noticed many more application crashes (on launch, on quit or at random times), spinning beachballs and use of the Force Quit hotkeys. Maybe Apple should pay more attention to its computer business instead of playing in the fashion biz.

    Activation requires a SIM card.
    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • Firefox will no longer open and I can not get the profile manager to open either. What do I do?

    I tried to open firefox this morning, and it would not open. I tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and even deleted all of my information. I looked it up on your site, and it said to open the profile manager. I followed the directions on how to open it, and it too will not open. I tried several times to open it as well. I need help. I only use firefox and have for years, and I have never had this problem. What do I do?

    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.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • My firefox isn't starting and I've tried changing the profile manager but that wouldn't open either even when I closed it out on the task manager

    I've followed all the steps in the "Firefox will not start" and it is still not working :(

    I'm also having this problem. The firefox.exe ins't even shown in my processes, but the profile manager still won't open. Neither will firefox internet. So far I've been going in circles trying to figure it out and nothing is working. I don't want to start deleting things (the profile, extentions), but I don't know what else to do.

  • Firefox crashes when i open it, wont let me on it at all not even in safe mode and it doesnt give me my crash report?

    When i open firefox i get the message Firefox has stopped - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    I've also tried to go in safe mode. It would crash and give me the same message.
    I've tried opening it by right clicking and clicking run as administrator. It opens then and i tried the solutions it says on the forum to do in safe mode and none of those work.
    I have deleted and reinstalled firefox multiple times.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Also it doesnt give me a crash report.
    I troubleshot it and it said "Issue found incompatible application detected " then it says "incompatible application - firefox is incompatible"

    The problem began because my computer had to be sent in because it wouldnt turn on so i had to get it fixed they replaced the motherboard this was the second time the motherboard was replaced and once they did that my firefox hasnt worked the same. I can go on google chrome but thats not what i prefer to use.
    & when i right click on firefox it says troubleshoot so im assuming its built in to my computer. im not sure.
    I tried the profile manager to create a new profile and that has seemed to work so far. No crashing but it does freeze when i got to facebook and then i have to click ctr alt delete to open task manager to end firefox. It happened twice, the third time i went to google, then twitter and it didnt freeze. I then went to youtube and it froze. So Facebook and youtube make it freeze. Any idea why it does that?
    & thank you so much for helping and responding to me.

  • TS1389 Itunes  on W7 - I´m unable to authorise my purchases download, and the SC itunes file wouldn´t be deleted not even in safe mode.

    I´m unable to authorise my purchases download from itunes store, and the SC itunes file wouldn´t be deleted (prompts not allowed) , even in safe mode. Does anyone experienced the same error? Any solution other than posted? Thanks.

    Just in case we're dealing with file/disk damage here, try running a disk check over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you delete the SCInfo folder now?

  • Firefox updated itself to 3.6.9 and now I can't print anything from an open page, because HP Smart Web Printing doesn't work with this version. What's a replacement extension?

    "An unknown error occurred while printing."

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

  • I performed the update to version 7.3.5 and now I cannot undo the update that eliminated a toolbar that I use every day. How do I recover my toolbar? With the upgrade on a windows 7 machine, whenever I open firefox I get a white screen.

    Uninstall to my prior version is not working. I need to go back to the original version for two reasons. First, I can no longer use one of the toolbars that was compatible to previous version, but is no longer supported so it was disabled, and two when I try and open firefox from any short cut, I get a solid white screen and I do not get any toolbars nor is there any way to navigate to a tabbed option since I can not see anything and it just hangs there with out going to my homepage or anything else.

    Do you see the menu bar or anything else? As for the missing toolbar, this is the case for 90% of Firefox users, for instance the Google Toolbar. To restore it, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
    As for the white screen, I am not sure what you mean, but your install looks corrupted, you probably need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from scratch. You may spend too much time and effort otherwise. Back up your settings first if you have any, like Firefox bookmarks.
