Running Firefox 17.0.1.4715 on Windows XP SP3, I was prompted to update to Firefox 18, ran the update, requested restart, got no restart and cannot run Firefox

The install was apparently successful, I got a restart prompt and said OK. Firefox 17 shut down, but there was no restart. Attempts to launch Firefox from icons or the Start menu get no reaction.
The Firefox.exe in Program Files is version 17.0.1.4715. It will not execute.
Anti-virus Avast (but I've done plenty of Firefox updates before with this installed, and no conflict).

hello afew, does it work when you download the full setup file from getfirefox.com again & install it on top of your current installation?

    My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1. All was working fine yesterday.

    BTW, I can read everything just fine, but when enter information to post and press the post button, nothing happens. I have another computer running Win XP and firefox 8.x and all is fine.

  • I ran the update and then firefox stopped working completely ggot a message about .dll that won't work with windows. tried toreinstall new copy of latest but they won't.

    I just ran the update to .4 as the dialog box said to. Now firefox won't work at all. Nothing happens I get a message about a .dll file that is incompatible. Tried to doanload a new copy but that doesn't get any further starting to extract files then it fails to finish. Any thing I can do or have I lost evrery thing including my bookmarked sites?

    Thank you,
    Morbus! It worked like you said. Anyway I think the problem starts with maybe needing to completely clean up my OS and drives as they keep "filling up" real fast - much faster than my usage. Uninstall wouldn't work so I just oened up programs and fond the .exe and then deleted it. Scary moment as I really have seen others so mess up everything doing this but download went well of new copy and yes I have all my bookmarks and settings. YAYS!! so thank you again. Also running so much faster and no glitches like tabs not working th way they should. In end I think I need to get an upgrade from Vista home basic. and just then add my files one at a time to see how all goes.

  • When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

    When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" on SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit SP2 clustered instance

    Hi there,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
    instances.
    A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
    Currently both instances are running on same node.
    While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
    as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
    Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
    Please help resolve the issue.
    Thanks,
    AY

  • Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.

    Hello,
    I have gone through couple of posts regarding this issue but couldn't get the right solution. Could you please help what exactly we are missing here.
    Details:
    1) we have two SQL instances on one standalone machine (Default Instance (2008 SP3) + Named Instance (SQL 2012 SP1))
    2) Both instances are configured to accept SQL+ Windows authentication.
    3) when we give access to our users they are getting following exception if they connect with 'windows authentication'. (For both instances)
    Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.
    Note: (Being a sys + windows admin I'm able to connect both the instances from same client machine without
    any issues)
    4) Also, we observed following error in windows application event log,
     SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c, state 14 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: AcceptSecurityContext failed. The Windows error code indicates the cause of failure.
    The logon attempt failed   [CLIENT: 192.168.xxx.xyx]
    5) If we create SQL login it is working fine without any issues.
    Could someone guide/help  me identifying and fixing this issue.
    Thank you

    Hello,
    Are those Windows Logins associated to domain Windows accounts? Windows Logins work for domain accounts and local Windows account created on the server where the SQL Server instance is installed (and used to login locally to the server).
    Could you try to delete one of the Windows logins that fail to login , and try to recreate them?
    The following resources may help:

    I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me.  How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

    I just had an afterthought, Peter, if I could bother you further; if the downstairs iMac that I want to access it from is in my wife's name and not mine (even though I'll be the one using it on her computer) does that affect anything or can I simply load the software straight into her computer without any complications?

  • "Stop running the script?" error after power-up and before starting Firefox

    I have a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise system with Firefox 10.0.02. I'm getting the error
    ''''''Stop running this script?'''
    '''A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive''''''
    after I power up my PC, but before I open Firefox.
    The error message, of course, does not identify what "this page" is, or tell anything about the script. The error message doesn't even say it's from Firefox (or Internet Explorer, for that matter).
    I've done a virus scan, a spyware scan, and an adware scan, but the error keeps popping up.
    Everything I've found on the web about this error assumes the problem is with Internet Explorer, but I don't use IE.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Start/All programs/Startup has only McAfee Security Scan Plus. After power-up, clicking on Show Hidden Icons lists Sound Effect, McAfee Total Protection, Spybot-SD Resident, Ad-Aware, and a flag labeled "Solve PC issues: 1 message".
    If I click the flag, it opens Windows Backup Troubleshooting Options. The message is "Check your backup settings. Windows cannot find the disk or network location where your backups are being saved". There are two options -- Change backup settings and Try to run backup again.
    This is because I do not usually have the external herd drive I use for backup attached. I ignore this message.
    Also, Sql Server 2008 R2 and Oracle 11gR2 start up, along with IIS. I use this PC for various courses.
    FWIW, I've attached screen grabs of the Services and Processes from Windows Task Manager.

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
