Mozilla firefox will not open, and wen i tried to open the uninstall helper, that wont open either

when i tried to uninstall it, it doesnt open a window to let me uninstall it. when i tried to open it, it doesnt do anything. when i tried to use the uninstall helper, that doesnt open either. idk y Firefox is actin up, ive never had a problem with it before

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
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.

Firefox will not start and I already tried ALL the suggestions.

Hi, Firefox is my favorite browser that I've been using for years and all of a sudden it won't start. I've already tried the following and it will not open at all, ever.
I'm on windows 7 and have never had a problem before.
1. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper.
2. Tried Safe mode.
3. I uninstalled, deleted the program files, restarted computer, reinstalled.
4. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper again and tried with fresh install.
5. I tried the Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe (Profile manager window didn't open, nothing happens)
I also tried "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
AND "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and nothing happened.
In between each try, I END PROCESS in my task manager. Even though a window never actually opens for any of these steps.
I'm at a loss and really need and would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Jon

That didn't work either, but after everything, it turned out to be a recent adoble flash update. I uninstalled flash and now it works. I do need flash player though, so hopefully it works next time I reinstall... I will probably try it over the weekend and let you know.
Thanks for the help!

Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

I get: INVALD URL "/?fr=fptb-i3752" and Mozilla Firefox will not boot, why?

I'm trying to get to my browzer on Firefox and I get: INVALD URL "/?fr=fptb-i3752" and Mozilla Firefox will not boot, why?

Try to reset the homepage, this might get rid of the support page:

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

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)

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line number 18, Column 1:
<dialog
^
Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

What is your anti-virus software?

HT5654 Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which has not been used for at least 5 years. It will not charged and I have tried to carry out a DFU with out any result. Any ideas please?

Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years. It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect. Can anyone please help?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
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.

Firefox will not start and any attempts to do so opens a crash report which neither properly closes nor restarts firefox.

firefox was working this morning but in the afternoon, after i got off a game that did not require use of firefox, firefox would not start. it does not show up in the task manager and typing "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" into the search box opens a crash report which neither restarts firefox nor quits it. further attempts to do the same results in the same crash report.
restarting the computer does not help.
previously, in the past week, firefox has been frequently crashing. however, this afternoon was the first time firefox would not start at all. cannot uninstall firefox as my system provides no response.

Mozilla Firefox will not work today on our computer?

We paid for and have been using Firefox and today it is gone?

Could you provide some more info?
Which Firefox Browser version were you using?
When you say 'gone' please elaborate? Is there a shortcut icon on your desktop or taskbar? When you click on 'Start' and view your list of Programs is there Mozilla Firefox in the list? When you click on 'Computer' and choose C: drive and then 'Programs', can you see Mozilla Firefox in the list? If you open the 'Control panel' and select 'programs and Features' is Mozilla Firefox in the list?
If the product has been uninstalled then it will not be on the computer and not in the list, but it can easily be reinstalled.
If the application is in the list, but not as a shortcut on the desktop, then you can easily create a shortcut and put it on the desktop.
Firefox is an open source free browser created by a global community. You can read about them under the 'About' link. They do not charge. It is free. So you did not pay for this Browser.
please answer the queries so that we can help you.

Firefox will not start and Firefox.exe process will not end!

Good evening,
I am typing this on Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome seems to refuse to install. I have been experiencing considerable trouble with launching FF. Whenever I double-click the icon, FF does not launch. There are no error mesages, the cursor just turns to an hourglass and then back to the pointer. When I open the task manager, there is always one Firefox.exe process open that will not close no matter how many times I press the "End Process" button. This is maddening. Can I do anything to get FF up and running again? I have restarted my computer countless times. I ran a scan with Norton Antivirus and whatever it detected obviously wasn't what is causing this issue. Please try and assist me, this is outrageous.
Thank you,
~AdmiralGFM
