Mozilla browser will not open on my desktop

Cannot open Mozilla web browser. I can open Google chrome and access the internet.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
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.

  • Firefox "starts" but browser will not open on desktop

    When I click to open Firefox min Windows 7, the program loads, i.e., I can see the window on the Aero Bar, but the browser will not open on my desktop. I have redone my profile and that seems to solve the problem for a while, but then the same problem reoccurs. This happened with four different profiles. When I do get the browser open on the desktop, I find a load of error messages in the error console.

    Hello Joseph.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Safe mode] will do it easy, if you can't hope Firefox.

  • My Safari browser will not open.

    My Safari browser will not open.  It simply says Safari quit unexpectedly.  I can open Google Chrome and browse just fine.  Any idea whats wrong?  I have a MacBook Pro, and I'm using OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • After updating to Firefox 4 the browser will not open

    I updated to the new firefox 4. Since then the browser will not open. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.

    I couldn't get it to start at first. Then I found a forum that hade other issues with plugin and firefox 4 where the solution was to start firefox 4 in 32 bit mode and not in 64bit mode. After that it works nice for me.
    It might also be useful to change the setting for the time that scripts are allowed to run.
    dom.max_script_run_time should be set to higher number than 80 according to the support.
    Good luck!

  • My antivirus found and removed a virus called Hijacker.DosPop_Toolbar, and now Firfox browser will not open, even with uninstall and reinstall?

    I have uninstalled version 8 and tried to go back to an earlier version, but browser still will not open.

    Delete the Program Files for Firefox and install a freshly downloaded Firefox_setup file.

  • Firefox does not put the file extension ".exe" onto the firefox application, and the browser will not open.

    I downloaded firefox 3.6.6 from the website, followed the install directions and the browser does not open. I opened the task manager and firefox.exe was not in the process list. Locating the target using properties from the desktop icon if found that the application file did not have the ".exe" extension that it showed in the icon field for location. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same result. I am running windows XP Media Center Version 2002 service pack 3.

    This would usually only happen if the originals were .doc, .dot, .docm,  .dotx or .dotm files and someone changed their extensions. Does your Office installation open docx files created in Word 2013? If not, perhaps the Office installation is
    faulty. In that case, try repairing the Office installation (via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel).

  • Itunes store will not open on my desktop

    I am wondering if anybody on here is having any problems opening the Itunes store? I can launch Itunes on my computer but the store part will not open. All I keep getting is a message saying that the Itunes store is temporarily unavailable. I've had this problem for the last couple months. I've gone through the threads on here but nothing about the problem I am having and have gone to the Apple stores in person and nobody there knows what the problem is. I have gift cards to use for it but can't use them because of this problem. Am I going to have to suck it up and start buying CD's from and dare I say it, Best Buy??? I am still using Itunes 7 and never had problems with it til recently.

    I have not had any problems today.
    You should upgrade to iTunes 9.2.1. You can get it here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056

  • Firefox will not open from my desktop (freezes), but will open from wifes desktop, same computer.

    Within the last 3 days, I have opened my Firefox browser only to have it freeze. There are two tabs opened. One eventually showas a yellow triangle with and exclamation mark and states "Restore Session". The second tab has "Getting Started with Firefox". I have opened my wifes desktop, clicked on Firefox and it opens properly and I am able to use it. I go back to my desktop, open Firefox... FREEZES!! I have spoken with a local computer repair busuiness and have tried several suggestions from them including uninstalling and reinstalling. Even after the same thing happens from only my desktop, open Firefox...FREEZES!!. I hope you can provide a solution as there are several work related websites that only function correctly with Firefox.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Connected to internet, but browser will not open

    I have an HP Pavilion  23 All in One.  After a power outage, the browser will no longer open, even though I am connected to
    the internet via Wi-Fi.  Except for the internet, all other computer functions are working just fine.
    I am using Windows 8.
    Does anyone know how to fix this.  All other computers in the house are working via Wi-Fi without any problems.
    Thx
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Open a Command Prompt and enter "ipconfig/release"  (without quotes)
    Then enter ipconfig/renew
    Also try ipconfig/flushdns and ipconfig/registerdns
    Are you using IE? Set defaults in Internet Options, Advanced tab. (See below).
    Shut down cable/DSL modem and router. Unplug both from AC power for a couple of minutes. Reconnect devices to AC power and energize.
    Still having an issue? Run the System file Checker. Instructions are here.
    Run boot time hardware diagnostics on the patient.

  • Mozilla thunderbird will not open or sync profile on NAS device

    Was running two computers with thunderbird both sync to the same profile stored on a NAS device. NAS device lost a drive but profile remained in tact. Now TB will not load the profile but when asked where the profile is located TB shows correct location and profile. Have tried reinstalling TB, restarting computer, restarting NAS device, have checked the profiles.ini file to make sure it is correct. All give the same effect, TB asks me to create new profile like I just installed the software. Any ideas??

    how do you know it is not loading the profile? My guess is it is and your missing something you expect and assume it is not.

  • Browser will not open so I can't create a new profile to try and fix it. What do I do?

    I keep clicking on my on the firefox icon and it won't load. After looking through the support pages it looks like I need to save my current profile and create a new one but you have to be able to open Firefox to do that.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
