My Firefox opens to a completely blank screen with no menu bars or anything. I've uninstalled & reinstalled several times with the same problem. Help!
I opened it this morning with no problems, went to my g-mail account, pulled up an e-mail, clicked to reply, typed my respons, but when I hit send, everything went completely blank.
I have no tabs, no menu bars... nothing but the firefox logo on the top left corner and the minimize, full screen/small screen, and close/x buttons on the top left corner... that's it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but nothing works.
What now?
Whoops... didn't see the update...
You say "could you see if you have the same addons installed." How do I do that, when I can't get it to open with anything but a blank screen?
I added Ghosery and Ad Block Plus... and also something similar to Ghosery, but I can't rememeber the name. I added that first... before Ghosery.
Anyway... if I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled, wouldn't I have to reinstall the add ons later?
And I did run a scan of my system with security software... it didn't find anything.
However, when I uninstalled, it uses a Firefox Uninstall Wizard... and in the wizard, there is an option to "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations," but when you check that, it says, "This will permanently remove your bookmarks, saved passwords, cookies and customizations. You may wish to keep this information if you plan on installing another version of Firefox in the future."
I don't save passwords, don't care about the cookies, but the bookmarks took forever to collect, and I don't want to loose them.
Anyway to save or copy the more important bookmarks somewhere else?
Would clicking this option also remove the addons... and maybe that might take care of the possible malware problems that you're talking about?

Today, Firefox wouldn't open properly. I got a msg about opening in safe mode or another option. My XP system froze so I closed Firefox down through Task Manager. When I tried to reopen I got the ..profile can't be loaded message. I uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox and still received the ...profile can't be loaded message and I'm unable to open Firefox. I repeated the uninstall/reinstall 3 times, without success. Same message appears.
I found my profile folder in my system but I don't know what to do with it. How do I tell Firefox where to look for the folder when I can't even open Firefox? Do I copy & move it somewhere else? Should I just delete it all together and do another uninstall/reinstall of Firefox?
I would hate to have to use IE. I use a crappy old Dell Dimension with a Pentium 4 and, until today, I was running Firefox for 18 months. Please help. I know a bit about computers but I'm nowhere near being a techy person.Try to delete the profiles.ini file, so Firefox will try to make a new one.
To do so:
1. Click on Start > Run... (or press Win key + R)
2. Type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
3. Press OK.
4. Delete the profiles.ini file or rename it to any other name.
5. Try to boot Firefox again.
'''Warning: if you delete profiles.ini file a new profile will be made. You will lose all your themes, extensions, preferences, bookmarks, history and navigation data.'''
You can try also to perform a disk check to make sure files are not corrupted. To do so, open a command line and type chkdsk X: /F /R where X: is the letter of the drive where Firefox is installed. In the case you're asked to reboot, do it.
In the case this doesn't work, please leave us feedack, and we'll find out another possible solution. -

Firefox will no longer run on my computer. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. Installed the updates and now nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3) edit. I'm no techie so I have no clue what is causing this or what to do. I love firefox and miss it greatly. Anyone know what I can do to get it back?
Can you install a new profile? See [[Managing Profiles]] for me details and let us know if you need additional assistance.

I've used Firefox for years with no problems. I've not installed any new extensions or programs between the time it worked great and when the problem began.
I click to start FF (shortcut, directly on program file, etc.) and I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds like it's starting, then nada. As mentioned, I see FF show up as a process in Task Manager for about 3 seconds, then disappear.
Solutions I've tried include: Uninstall/reinstall on the same drive and a separate drive, registry cleanup/optimization w/Norton Utilities, full scan for malware/viruses with Norton, stopping some autostartup programs that were installed and in use while FF was running fine.I've used Firefox for years with no problems.

firefox is just an empty icon from what i can tell... when i upgraded to 10.9.5 on my mac firefox no longer works. it turns into a grey screen and then just ends up disappearing to the finder window... the application remains on, and won't force quit. I must re-start in order for it to Not be running... I've used firefox and mac for over 8 years and never seen anything like this.... I'm sure it's on the mac side of things, but I'm hoping y'all can fix it... it truly sucks to loose my favorite browser and all my saved bookmarked tabs and all
Your bad charger probably damaged something inside as well. Your hard drive directory may be damaged too.
If you lack a backup, you should read this:

Otherwise, bring it in for service. -
When I open and close FF it normally opens one tab but for the past 3 months it automatically opens four tabs. One tab I have set to the yahoo home page. I visit three other sites on a regular basis and I open tabs for each site. This started with FF 4.01. The other sites are Gmail, NYtimes.com, NYpost.com. On the NY post site it opens to an old article from April 3, 2011.

When loading yahoo.com , it says it is not a trusted site. I can load the news page but home page displays incorrectly and cannot log into my mail. Yahoo is working fine on chrome. Happens ever since I downloaded the latest update to firefox and I cannot download a previous version.
Did you check the issuer of the certificate?
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate. -
If I X out for the night, and then the next day I hit the icon to go back on firefox, it tell me to close firefox and to do that I have to restart my computer, now I should not have to do that. HELP!!!!!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
I have also had problems starting Firefox. I click the icon and nothing happens. That problem is intermittent. The Windows message that Firefox is still running after I have closed the Firefox browser keeps occurring and I do not know how to remedy this.
The one thing that is locking up fire fox is the plug ins. You have to check to see if a plug in is locking up firefox first of all.
To see the processes press : CTRL+ALT+DEL. then click the tab marked "Processes" Then look for Fire Fox and click on it. Click the Yes button when the warning box show up.
Then do the say for "Plug-in Container" I believe that is called.
this is because all ads are now flash ads or video ads. They lock my computer up all the time.
When the CTRL+ALT+DEL are pressed. Keep this minimized and you can see if your computer is running at 100% memory near the clock. If the box is totally green, you are running a lot of programs on your system. Check the processes and find out what is not needed. Also watch your virtual memory. Rule of thumb is 1.5x total memory.
Then now it would be able to shut down the computer the right way.
Hope this helps you out. -
Firefox opens up to a blank page?
Hi, when I click the Firefox icon on my desktop to open a new page, it opens to a completely blank page. There's nothing on the page and I have to close it and reopen a few times until it starts working. When it actually does work, it's slow to open the webpage. After I click the Firefox icon on my desktop it lags before opening the window to my homepage. Firefox also seems laggy for all the websites I go to. Do you know what's wrong and how I can fix it?
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.

IPod Shuffle Help - Cant open files on ipod (blank screen)
I'm sure it's already been covered here, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
I have a iPod shuffle, and iTunes recognises it but wants to re-format it (not my biggest problem), and Windows only partially recognises it.
In My Computer it is listed as an iPod (E:), but when i open it, which it does, it displays a blank screen. It doesn't recognise any files in it AT ALL. But recognises how much free space i still have on my ipod. I can open my ipod files (Songs) on friends and school computers, just not mine.
It just seems that i'm missing a file of some sort, which is able to read the files on my ipod shuffle, but i just don't no what it could be.
I have tried every available solution, reinstalling iTunes/iPod, with no luck. I also just added service pack 2 for my windows xp pro and thought that would have solved my problem.
Any suggestions?
