Just downloaded firefox but it won't open websites...

I tried everything on the help page to get firefox to work but it won't. Explorer works fine but it says problem loading page the connection has timed out. My wireless connection is excellent. What do I do now?

  • I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

    Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

    Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:

    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • Just bought sims 4 game and downloaded it but it won't open

    i just bought a Sims 4 game for my daughter. We downloaded it but now it won't open. When we click on it it says we need windows to open it. Can anyone help?

    If you bought a Windows version of the game, you cannot run it directly on MAcOS X.  You would need a Bootcamp partition with Windows.
    Contact the Customer Service and see, if you can change the version to a macoS X version:

  • I have downloaded Firefox but it will not open. I have tried several times to install and then uninstall, but it still does not work.

    We used to use Firefox..but for whatever reason it stopped opening. We uninstalled it and we found that the old version of Firefox would open but it would straight away update to the new version and then the problems would begin again and it would not open.

    Using another browser, download the FULL installer from
    '''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
    Save the file. Then;
    Using your file browser, open the '''Programs''' folder on your computer.
    '''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
    C:\Program Files (x86)
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
    Now run the full installer.

  • Just downloaded firefox but it constantly says it needs to update but can't AND PEarl Crescent doesn't work - saved JPEG and PNG files apear as gibberish

    I have installed / de-installed and re-installed firefox on my mac and have had a lot of problems. When I used my PC I always used firefox but it isn't working on my macbook. Firefox is constnantly looking for upgrades but then doesn't actually upgrade and just gets stuck. I downloaded peal crescent (which worked prior to my de-installing and re-installing) and now all PNG and JPG files don't save properly and seem to come out as gibberish (they do hve .jpg and .png at the end)

    You can download Firefox 15.0.1 directly from http://mozilla.com/ and install that directly. Please see this article (and the links in there) for more info: [[How to fix the Update Failed error message when updating Firefox]].
    Are you trying to use [http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/ Pearl Crescent Page Saver]? Which feature is not working as designed?

  • I downloaded iTunes but it won't open

    Where can I get help?  I need to update an old 4.3.3 iPad to new ios.  So, I need to do it through iTunes.  Well, new laptop since i last used iTunes - several years ago. I tried to download iTunes to this laptop but it will not open. I want to do this so I can get and iPhone and eventually join this century.

    Hey there newredshoes,
    It sounds like after updating to the latest iTunes you are unable to open iTunes at all. I want to recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Create a new user account
    By creating a new user account, you can determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
    Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
    Once you create the new account, choose     Start > Log Off.
    Log in to the new user account.
    Open iTunes and see if the issue you're experiencing persists in this new user account.
    If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting" section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.
    User-specific troubleshooting
    System-wide troubleshooting
    The User-specific and System-wide links have their own troubleshooting depending on the scenario if you get that far into it.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I have mac OS X version 10.4.11 and just downloaded Firefox 4 and when I open it I get and error window stating that I cant use this application with this version of Firefox.

    i used the old one fine for years. How do i make the new one open or how do I get the old one back

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

    Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
    When i click on the icons it does not launch...
    I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I keep getting an alert when I launch Firefox and it won't open websites. Alert below

    Get this alert when I try to open new version Firefox I just downloaded. I trashed the old version and re-downloaded and installed new version. Alert meaage: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
