Not able to open firefox

Recently, I have upgraded my PC's RAM. I observed that firefox is crashing frequently after my RAM upgrade.
So, I have done clean uninstall. After that I installed firefox, still observing the same. So, repeatedly
I have followed this procedure. After few installations, firefox is not loading at all. I have opened
task manager and seen the firefox process. It will appear there for few seconds and then
disappear from there (task manager). I don't know what to do. I am using chrome against
my liking to firefox from around a month. Please help me to resolve this issue.

I have refreshed firefox in safe mode

And then found an application blocking firefox usage
by trail in safe mode. I changed the settings of that application
and it resolved the issue.

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • Not able to open firefox, will open if I click on firefox icon, go to finder and open "new window". How can I get it to open up right away again. Thanks. RK

    When I double click on firefox, it will not open. I am able to open it by going to "file and clicking on "new window". It just happened today. Thanks. RK

    Do you mean https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/amazon-s3-organizers3fox/?
    Please update to Firefox 23, the version you have is horribly out of date and will have alot of problems. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

    Hi ...
    According to the site >  http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
    The trial version is only good for 30 days. Perhaps yours has expired.
    "Final Cut Pro X requires a Mac with OS X v10.6.8 or OS X v10.7.2 or later (for broadcast-quality monitoring), an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better, 2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM recommended), and an OpenCL-capable graphics card or Intel HD Graphics 3000 or later. See minimum system requirements for details".
    Trial versions start from the first day you used the software.

  • Why have I suddenly got a lock on the icon, and not able to open Firefox?

    Logged on today and found a lock symbol on the Firefox icon. I cannot open the programme unless I do it out of the sandbox. Why is this? My system is Windows XP pro.

    For some reason my Avast malware killer had put Firefox in its sandbox. Sorted. thanks for the help.

  • In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab

    In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab. So the only solution is opening "New window" which is extremely messy. Kindly help me with this issue.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

    Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....

  • How do I reset Firefox if I am not able to open the application after ending it on the task manager?

    We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox

  • Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hello,
    Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
    If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

  • Firefox is not abling to open some websites which are noi encrypted.

    while opening some websites like- www.ssc.nic.in , firefox is not abling to open the full content of the website and instead it opens only the "html" view of such websites. When I check out the details from the "view page info" , the info only gives some details like- This website does not supply ownership information. and Connection not encrypted.
    I am not abling to find any settings so that I can change to be able to open the full contents of such websites and not only the html content view.
    So, please suggest me something so that I can open the full content of such websites.

  • Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

    This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
    "This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
    We support the following browsers:
    Mac OS X
    Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
    Firefox 1.5 or later"
    Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
    This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
    I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

    Hi,
    From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
    Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

  • Not able to open a downloaded file - paint??

    I cannot open a file downloaded in Adobe.  This is the error message:  "Paint cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."  I get the same message when I try to open saved adobe files or files that have just been downloaded.  I think the downloading is ok as I get the message that the file has downloaded.  But, I am not able to open it.  Paint is elicited instead.  I am using a windows operating system and firefox for a browser.  Does anyone have some hints to pass on?  I don't know where to begin.

    What do you mean by "Adobe files"?
    What is your operating system?

    Thank you so much for the helpful information. Let me tell you in brief...
    "Hi,
    It has been an ongoing problem with my mac book. I have to use a PC to log in to my discussion forum to know about my questions. I am using a macbook (leopard 10.5.2 combo updated) and i had done a complete re-installtion of the Mac OSX as i had a kenel panic after i had created another account to check the problem with safari (as on a telephone call with apple support). Then i am not able to log into my account even on .mac account too. I had firefox but i had to do too much of "forced quit" when i had to close. Even my "SENDING ERROR REPORTS" FAILS everytime.
    All this started when i had some software updates from the website. How can i get rid of this problem. Further, while using any pc on the same network, i have the same problem. Is it a hardware / Mac OS software related problem or the Network (ISP) related problem....
    Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Help. "
