☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • Firefox no longer opens when I click on a link in my e-mail program. Worked fine until I upgraded to 10

    Mac 10.6.8, Entourage 2004

    Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?
    Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose   key which will show all open windows.

  • Firefox does not open when i click on the icon or menu path

    when i click on the desktop icon or go through the menu path to open firefox, the computer will run it but nothing appears. apparently, firefox is still running in the background but i cant get to it. so whenever i try to edit another program that involves firefox, i have to go to the task manager to manually shut it down.
    i tried running it in safemode but it does the same thing. furthermore, i deleted the whole program and reinstalled it hoping that that might fix the problem. however that did not work, i have searched all the offered support and have come up dry.
    i am running the current firefox version and i am using a windows 7 professional operating system

    Hi,
    It could be that a security software installed in the system is blocking the new updated Firefox executable. You may have to go into the settings of the security software to re-trust Firefox.
    Please also check if you are able to start Firefox by browsing to the Firefox installation folder ('''Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\''' or '''Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\''' ) and clicking '''firefox'''.

  • Firefox won't open when I click on it.

    I click on both the icon in the dock and in the apps folder. When I click on the icon in the dock it bounces a couple of times and then nothing, it doesn't open and no white dot appears like they do on open apps in the dock. I am running the latest Mac OS. After having this happen I updated my software and downloaded at new version of Firefox off the web but the same thing happens. I have not downloaded anything in the last week and have been using firefox up until today.

    okay I threw away my profile for firefox in library/application support/firefox and now it opens, a corrupt file apparently. Sorry for my tardy reply, sounds like you may have solved it, but I figured this might help someone else.

  • Firefox will not open when I click on the icon (OS X).

    Firefox worked perfectly until I installed the most recent update. After I installed the update Firefox refused to open. When I click on the icon it begins to open but I never see the window and it closes within 3 seconds and I never even get an error message. Help!!!
    == Operating system ==
    OS X

    Also having the same problem.
    I have tried the following with no luck.
    *Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
    *deleting the .parentlock file
    *deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
    *Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
    *Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
    all with no luck.
    Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
    If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • Firefox won't open on first click. I have a Windows 7 PC.

    With both the last version and this new Firefox 8, Firefox will not open on the first click on the taskbar, second, third, fourth, or when I click on the desktop icon. It suddenly opens after about the 7th click and I get 5 to 7 start pages. It used to open after the one click on the icon on the taskbar. I have a Windows 7 PC.

    Hello,
    Your Firefox profile may have an issue that is preventing Firefox from opening as quickly as it has before.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.
    To Reset Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" that looks like this: [[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After it is done, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I just tried to install Firefox 12 and the install will not proceed because it thinks that the old Firefox browser is open when it is not.

    I verified with Task Manager that Firefox is not running. How do I get past this point and get Firefox 12 to install. I am running Windows 7 Premium on an HP Quadcore with 8gb. of main memory, lots of video memory and 1tb of disk storage.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
    NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

  • Firefox will not open when I click the icon and windows task manger indicates firefox is running.

    I can't open firefox. I click the icon, my cursor shows Firefox is loading, then nothing happens, the screen remains the same.

    Hi Iekard.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to see if the firefox.exe process is running. If it is, terminate it and try to run Firefox again.
    If that doesn't help, try running Firefox in safe mode. If it works like that, maybe it'll work again in normal mode.

  • Firefox will not open when I click on it. It won't even let me open the profile manager. Uninstalling it and re-installing it does nothing. And it is driving me insane. I need firefox.

    It will not open. No matter what I do.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
