Recent update of Firefox now it won't open or start!

Hi, When firefox opened, it updated automatically so I'm not sure what version I have now but after update, it won't open or start again. There's no error message or anything. Just won't open! I download and reinstalled firefox 3.6 over it but it still won't open. Help please!
PS. I found an article here about what to do when firefox opens here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/releases/fix-extensions.html. I went to Profiles folder and change the chrome folder to chrome-backup but still won't open.

Wow, still no help... anyways, firefox works for me now.. I downloaded an older version here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Firefox 3.5 works.
Finally able to use Firefox but will turn off automatic update from now on!

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Just updated Instagram but now it won't open on my iPad

    Just updated Instagram but now it won't open on my iPad

    First a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If it still doesn't open delete and reinstall app.

  • Updated iTunes and now it won't open on my computer

    I just did the OS X update and then the iTunes update and now my iTunes won't open on my Mac mini. I click the icon and it doesn't do anything and I even tried opening it in my applications folder and it still won't come up. Is anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I fix it?

    I had this and managed to fix it:
    Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Open the Terminal
    Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"
    Re-install iTunes

  • I updated iTunes and now it won't open after reboot.  Keeps being forced closed as soon as device is connected or open from programs menu?

    This didn't happen until after I was attempting to restore my iPad.  Restore was unsuccessful.  It suggested I make sure I was up to date on upgrades and restart.  I did and now it won't start again so I can attempt to restore my iPad.

    Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes updates and Firefox 3.0 won't open up after installation...

    I really hope someone can solve this thing...
    I can't install iTunes updates (from 7.1.2 on) and Firefox 3.0, because they both present the same problem: after download and regular installation, when I click on the .app to open it up, the icon jumps two or three times in the dock, then it disappears and bye bye.
    At this point there is just nothing i can do, if not uninstall the newer version using AppDelete and reinstall the last working version, that is Firefox 2.* and iTunes 7.1.1 ...
    As you can see i'm on an iMac with OSX 10.4.11..
    does someone have a clue what is the cause of this???

    what is that "archive and Install"?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    yes, i remember that i tried to log in with another account and the software worked...
    Then the software is not the problem. The problem is something specific to your account. Performing an archive & install will unlikely work in this case as the reinstall will retain your user settings (I assume you do want to retain them at any rate) and that's where the problem is lurking
    Is a crash report generated when the apps don't work? If no "Unexpectedly Quit" dialog window appears, check in Home > Library > Logs > CrashReporter to see if there are logs for iTunes/Firefox. If there are, can you post the text of the most recent crashes here?

  • HELP!!!!  I just updated iTunes and now it won't open!

    When I double click the icon on my desktop, my curser does the hourglass thing like it always does before the program opens, but then it stops and the program doesn't open! Everything else on my computer seems to work and my virus scan thingy says there's nothing wrong. I have also reinstalled iTunes twice and restarted my computer. I tried calling the help number but after waiting ten minutes to speak to a live human being, I was told that I would have to pay fifty bucks for them to help me! After reading the other posts on this message board, I am beginning to think that they are doing this on purpose so that they can charge everybody fifty bucks. Anyway, any advice regarding how I can open iTunes without losing my music, messing up my computer, or paying fifty dollars would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Gawd, no, i'ts not an evil plot by Apple to get $50. It's because 9 times out of 10, it's a Windows problem and since they didn't sell you the Win PC, they're not giving free support.
    OK, do you get any error message?
    Go to Task Manager > Processes tab (hit ctl-alt-del)
    Click on the Image Name column to sort things alphabetically.
    Do you see itunes.exe in there?
    Do you see qttask.exe?

  • Itunes update failed and now itunes won't open

    If I uninstall and then reinstall itunes, will my music "reappear"?  What about the music that I manually added to my itunes (via CD)?
    Any help would be great!  Thanks so much!!

    It did for me.  And I wanted to thank the group for the advice!
    I was sweating bullets when it was installing.  Almost four thousand handpicked songs accumulated over four years.  Names, Dates, Album Art, etc.
    I just joined to say thanks for the help/guidance!!

  • Security Update....restart.....now Mail won't open!

    I just installed the latest security update, restarted and now Mail won't open. What's going on?

    John,
    There is something strange about this update notice by means other than Software Update -- the one I saw was on MacMinute. Neither of my Macs running 10.4.5 had this one presented by Software Update. It is very close to the same version number as the one presented yesterday by Software Update. I have been trying to find whether there was a specific "fit" for it, but have not found the key.
    Downloading and installing an update of this type, that is not presented by Software Update may be problematic. I will keep researching.

  • Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

    Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

    That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
    or <br />
    right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

  • I updated software on my computer, now Safari won't open

    I updated software this morning on my computer. Just did it automatically and didn't pay attention to what was being updated. Looks like Safari was one of the apps. Now, Safari won't open, mac Mail won't open, not even my Skype will open.
    It must have something to do with the new dumb**** screwups with the switchover to "mobileme". I have OS 10.4.11.
    I'm able to use Firefox.
    On www.me.com I can't access my mail, but I can access my account information.

    *Hi h'c', Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    I sounds like you tried a Safari restart. I don't know what it takes to generate a new .plist. Might try log out and back in or restart computer.
    Might try reapply the 10.4.11 combo updater—sometimes miraculous results.
    While you wait for someone more vast than me, see below, it would be helpful to update your 'My Public Profle.'

  • Updated to 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open

    I upgraded the OS 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open. It says "the version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite.  Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store."  However, when I go to the Mac App Store, there is no iPhoto.
    I don't know what version of iPhoto I was running. I believe it was the most recent (9.6)
    I also noticed that the iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it
    The support article says I can use iPhoto concurrently with the new photos

    I have the same issue: updated from OSX 10.10.2 to 10.10.3, which killed iPhoto.
    I have v.9.6, but apparently 9.6.1 is needed; I keep all my software updated, but never got an update notification.
    Any way, I get the same 'dead' icon as above:
    I can launch the program, but then I get:
    And when I go searching the App Store (Belgium), I get:
    Please, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of iPhoto 9.6.1, which 'should' be compatible with my OSX (10.10.3).
    Before updating the OS (from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3) I did make a clone on an external HD. I have now booted from that external HD, but nowhere can I find iPhoto 9.6.1, so that I can update.

  • I updated to itunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention

    I recently updated toitunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention and i've followed the windows help and everything but still can't get it to work. i usually never have a problem when i update.

    I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes.  I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all).  On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes.  So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now). 

  • I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.
