Since installing lion firefox and now chrome won't work.

I used firefox (latest version) for most everything and it worked for 4 days after installing Lion 10.7.2 on my iMac.  Then, when I clicked the icon for firefox only the toolbar at the top (file, edit, view, history...) showed up.  Nothing opens a browser page.  I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it.  Same issue, and now the icon has a circle with diagonal line over it.  I gave up on firefox, as I was too busy to deal with it for now, and started using Safari and google chrome. 
Now, 2 weeks later, googel chrome is having the exact same issue.  Only the toolbar...  Oh, and each time I discovered the issue with firefox and now chrome failing, Safari was sluggish and tho I can access everything else I can't make my yahoo mail open (yahoo opens but I can't see my actual mail).
All programs are up to date.  My router and modem are working with a strong wifi signal.  I can access yahoo mail on my iphone, so it's not that.  I shut down my system and rebooted (several times).  Reset my router and modems.... Help!
Any ideas?  If Safari goes down, I'm stranded.

thx a brody, I apprecate your reply.  Tho, that is only part of the issue.  I did as you advised & installed a version of Firefox dedicated for intel CPU...now my icon looks perfect.  However...I still have the same issue.  ONLY the menu bar shows up for both firefox and google chrome (chrome never had the circle/line issue that firefox did).
The main issue is that the 2 browsers, besides Safari, worked for several days to 2 weeks on lion.  Now when i click the icon for either, the menu bar is the only thing that shows up.  I can select anything in the menu bar - my bookmarks even show in the bookmark menu, but don't go anywhere when selected.  No browser page no matter what I do.

  • I just (10 minutes ago) downloaded an update to Firefox Sync and now it won't work

    A few minutes ago (10 November 2010 18:00 GMT approx) I downloaded an update to Firefox Sync after getting a prompt and now it won't work. It is not listed under tools as before or in the browser taskbar. It appears as a green jigsaw-puzzle-piece in my list of add-ons saying "this add-on will be installed when you restart Firefox". I have restarted FF about 5 times now and it still won't install. I have the most up to date version of FF.

    I assume Google toolbar extension is not compatible with Firefox 5.
    You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  What version of Safari do I need?

    I finally got around to updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  It was version 4.0.5.  I know I should of upgraded prior but didn't need to because everything was working.  Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
    If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
    Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install  Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.

    Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!

  • HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.

    HI,
    This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
    Make the Finder the "front" app.
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the app.
    You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
    If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist  (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
    Again Restart the app.
