I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

I have some windows minimized. When I try to open up another window from the start menu, even the minimized windows open up.

When I first open up a window from the start menu, just one window opens up. But when others are at the bottom (minimized) and I go to open up a new window from the start menu, all the minimized windows open up, too.

That can a problem with the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Firefox won't start when double-clicked or when clicked on from the Start menu - but other programs say it IS running.

When I go to the START Menu to start up Firefox - *or* double-click the Firefox icon on the desktop - the program will *not* start. Yet if I try to do something that may interfere with Firefox, it says to close Firefox down because it's running.... which it isn't. Even going into the Task Manager through *control-alt-delete* shows plainly that Firefox is not running... I downloaded a game through Mediabox.com to watch a movie, that may have started the problem.

Old Firefox's icon and item Name (not blue one) in Application has disappeared suddenly from the screen. How can I retrieve this?

When I clicked "Finder" and "Application", Firefox (old one, not new blue one) icon and Name used to show up in the screen, but no longer. How could I bring them back? There are no difficulty
in running computer, but I cannot update Firefox. Please advise.
Thank you.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

How do I prevent tabs in the task bar from opening everytime I open a new Firefox tabs from the Start Menu?

I have four tabs in my task bar at the bottom of my computer screen. If I go to Start and open a new Firefox window then all four tabs open automatically. How do I prevent all the tabs from opening?

How do I 'un-pin' a contact from the start menu of...

I screwed up and pinned a couple of contacts. Now their facebook image is one of the tiles on my main menu. Nothing I've tried seems to delete the pin. Anyone know how to do it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To unpin tiles, all you have to do is to long press the tile.After a few seconds, the tile will get highlighted and you will see a round unpin icon to the top right of that time.

HELP - Windows 7 saves an entry of a connection to a network location in the start menu

Hello Technet.
I have a question regarding what the title says.
After i connected to a network path on a client PC, from the start menu search, like; \\Fileserver01\Files$,
even after a restart of the client, it still saves the entry in start menu if i just type in "\\"
Is there any way to turn this off?
I dont want my users to get any good ideas if you know what i mean ;)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Firefox will not start when "firefox.exe" is typed in the start menu

I usually use Firefox 10.0a1 UX experimental build. I know it's "unstable", but it works just fine for me. Anyways, it was feeling slow today, and was constantly hanging, so I decided to run '''firefox.exe -safe-mode''' from the start menu. I got the error: '''The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll.''' When I looked at the task manager, it showed that Minefield (the old name for nightly builds) was trying to run. I didn't even know I had Minefield, as I reinstalled Nightly after they changed the branding (around 5.0-6.0 nightly builds). My question is: How do I change the default '''firefox.exe''' to point to '''C:\Program Files (x86)\ux\firefox.exe''' and/or how do I resolve that error?

I don't know about the error message you got but that is not the way to start a different version of Firefox -- include the pathname. And if you are trying to share a profile that is bad also as you could damage a profile, though Mozilla does try to avoid damaging, you should not mix the production version profile with one of a beta unless you are looking to create/solve additional problems for those that inadvertently do that. What does the UX stand for after 10.a1
Some links without reviewing them on my part
test using multiple profiles. See links at bottom as well like command arguments

Adobe Paper extension for PS CC has worked for many months. Today it disappeared from the Extension menu. I reinstalled and received a "successful reinstall" message but the extension does not appear any more.

Why has the Adobe Paper extension for PS CC disappeared from the Extension menu?

And, of course, as soon as it isn't 3am, I realise that it is because I haven't run the programs in the background. Oh dear...

Will the 10.8.3 combo restore my Mail application which has disappeared completely from my IMac

Will the 10.8.3 combo restore my Mail application which has disappeared completely from my IMac?
Is there any way that my Mail application can be restored?

If you are using OS X Mountain Lion, the 10.8.3 Combo is the first step you have to take in order to recover Mail in the computer. Theoretically, it should work, but it's possible that it doesn't. If, after installing the Combo, you haven't recovered Mail, reinstall OS X, holding Command and R keys while your computer is starting and following the steps to reinstall Mountain Lion. You won't lose anything doing it
