Mozilla & Firefox-1.0.7 won't start ?
I hope someone has the answer worked with the firefox on the 0.7 CD but after updating the system pacman -Syu seems no longer?
Using Konquerer to write this.
After running firefox or mozilla I get the following
/opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-1.0.7/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-1.0.7/components/libnecko.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetAddrInfoByName
Tried removing and reinstalling through pacman but no good.
thanks for any help,
Cliff

That is weird... You're the only person I know of who has gotten that.
Maybe try doing 'ldconfig'...
weird is right !
Thanks for the reply I did try that no change. I have this working fine on other distros , I have kde, gnome etc working fine. Just not firefox?
Must be a reason !

Firefox 3.6.3 won't start with a particular file:///
I can do {"c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" file:///n:\911c\OwenShow\helphtm\ohelpfrm.htm} but I can't do the same thing in a windows exec; firefox runs and hangs-up in the background. I assume this is FF's problem because when I run firefox again after killing it, the file appears correctly; or if I run firefox, and then try the exact same exec process, it works (i.e., in a 2nd tab). And I think closing "Firefox won't start after update 3.6.3 downloads and installs" was ridiculous, since the supposed solution ENDED WITH A QUESTION and WAS NOT a solution. j.g. owen * email: [email protected] * web: http://owenlabs.org
And wonderful!
Updated OSX (10.6.5) - and then thought what the heck, I'll trying enabling Firefox Sync. And it worked - for a couple of days. Until I accepted the update for Firefox Sync (1.5.1) - and I am back where I started, nothing works.
I have no clue about this -
I have used Mozilla Firefox on my lap top before and it worked well. However, since I had to have my harddrive wiped, I had to reinstall Firefox and now everytime I click on the icon to start it, my computer bluescreens! I do not know what to do?
Did you reinstall from backups, or www.Mozilla.org?

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't start but it says it's running.
I just recently upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't work. I was enjoying the lastest update on firefox 3 and it was working fine, but when i upgraded to 4, the problems started. Every time i click on the icon, the mouse turns into the loading wheel for a few seconds and then goes back, but firefox doesn't load up. Nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer, but that does nothing. I then tried uninstalling it, but it says firefox is still running so it can't uninstall. Even after restarting my computer, it still says it's running. I have tried everything, but it just won't start, and I can't do anything because it claims to still be running.
I just had a similar problem and it reminded me of trying to install a logitech wireless mouse a while back. Nothing I could do to make it recognize the driver... until I ran across a website that told me that antivirus and firewalls might prevent it. So... AVG Free just updated itself earlier today... FF4 would only startup once after reboot, then start and show in task mgr but no window(s)... Uninstalled AVG new version. FF4 starts up every time. Reinstalled older version of AVG Free and now everything seems to be OK again. Hope this helps!

Everytime I start firefox since the last update I can't get the stupid Getting started with firefox page to stop opening up. I downloaded the version 8 and it still opens ..
Well the latest and Greatest Firefox Version 8.0. Won't let me change my home page no matter what I do it always comes back with the getting started page and my orignal home page.
What a piece of garbage it is turning into..!!!! -
Firefox 14.0.1 Won't Start in Full Screen Mode
Firefox 14.0.1 for Mac doesn't appear to retain the full screen mode setting on shut down. It starts in "non-full screen" mode on start.
I've tried safe mode startup, set to full and shut down, but it still doesn't keep the setting.
Help appreciatedThis appears to be a bug in the new Mac full screen feature - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758249
So there doesn't appear to be a way to fix this at the moment other than waiting for this to get fixed in a future release. -
Firefox 8.0.1 won't start on my Windows XP computer
loaded Firefox 8.0.1 onto my Windows XP computer, and went through the installation process smoothly. But then, when I tried to use Firefox, it wouldn't start. I tried hitting the icon on the desktop, and also tried to run the program from the *.exe file in the My Programs part of the computer. Neither worked.
My previous version of Firefox was version 6.x, and worked perfectly. Now, I have nothing on this computer except IE. Any help would be appreciated.Please [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/901787 see this.]

RHEL 6.3 : firefox 13.0.5 won't start
Previously I was successfully running Firefox 13.0.5 ( 32-bit version) on the 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux v6.2.
I need to use a 32-bit Firefox because I need to use a 32-bit eclipse.exe and various other 32-bit tools on this 64-bit environment.
Today the RHEL v6.2 got upgraded to v6.3.
Now firefox 13.0.5 (32-bit) will not start, it gives this message:
Error: Platform version '10.0.5' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 13.0
maxVersion <= 13.0
Note: the RHEL 6.3 has a 64-bit Firefox 10.0.5 (but I am explicitly starting the 32-bit Firefox 13.0.5 via /opt/firefox13/firefox.
How do I get the32-bit Firefox 13.0.5 running again ?Uninstalling and re-installing seemed to work. I still had some issues pinning it to my taskbar but after trying a few times it seemed to work. Thanks.

I have tried to install the updated version several times, and each time I get the same message. I have never experienced this kind of a problem with Mozilla before.
I have a Windows 7 system and a new computer, so I suppose it's not a computer bug.Here is a pic.

Please see above, but I can;t get firefox to open
I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply. -
I click on Firefox and it does not open
A crash Report ID would also help . The last section in the [[Firefox crashes]] article explains how to get a crash Report ID, which you can post here.

When this occurs, Internet Explorer usually will start, but sometimes it is affected also and similarly will not start until the laptop is re-booted. I have tried all possible ways of starting Firefox but there doesn't seem to be any difference. Occasionally Firefox will start after some other work is done on the laptop without re-booting. Other work requiring an internet connection (updates mostly) do not seem to be affected ie. they work OK even when Firefox and Internet Explorer won't start. When I say "won't start" there is no message or anything, they just won't start.

Now I feel stupid. The problem was that my system partition was full. I removed some files and now it's back to normal. but D-Bus still fail.
hmm... I probably shouldn't have used the default values on install
Is it really failing? Please check the permissions of the .config folder at your user's directory. -
I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Downloaded and installed Firefox 20, but it won't start up. Window pops up saying "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have rebooted several times, to no avail.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#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).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#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! -
This is what it says on my screen when I open Firefox:
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/browserconfig.properties.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
