Temporary files rather than firefox.exe are running when starting firefox

When I start firefox, it says the firefox is already running. Old firefox process needs to be stopped to start new one. When I see the firefox process and try to end it using end process option in windows task manager, it says access is denied. The properties of the said process show temporary file running rather than firefox,exe.

Please try to follow these steps :

  • Why are there 26 firefox.exe processes running when the taskbar shows none?

    Win 7 professional, Firefox 25.0.1. If I shut down Firefox and restart it I often get an error that a copy is already running. Checking the Task Manager shows many firefox.exe processes (26 this morning) even though the application tab shows none.

    Hello Axis,
    Can you please confirm if this happens each time you are using Firefox? Also, the cache size wouldn't have a big bearing on this issue happening. Can you please try if this issue happens when you are running Firefox in safe-mode (instructions below). if it doesn't then we can narrow the issue to a plugin / addon.
    <hr>
    Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Forefox won't start in windows XP: I get the message that windows "cant' find the exe file" even when I click from the program file, rather than the shortcut.

    Delete the current Firefox shortcut on the desktop and create a new desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu on the Firefox.exe program (Send to > Desktop)

  • How to store images as disk files rather than in iphoto db

    Is there a way to make iPhoto maintain the images as disk files, rather than import them into iphotos massive database file. I would prefer to use iphoto to just store a link to the photo, rather than the photo itself. That way I can work with the image in photoshop or whatnot without having to jerk around with the iPhoto database/

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No need to find a workaround. You can use Photoshop from inside iPhoto.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than download

    How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than it downloading

    danieladorotiak wrote:
    When I click on the 'save application file, it download's it and doesn't give me the option to save it.
    I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
    it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
    It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
    If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

  • Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

    Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
    Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
    Thanks anyone

    Hi guys
    Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
    I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
    You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
    My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

  • Firefox 3.6.6, avast 4.8.0 shows trojan in the firefox exe upx. When I go to move it to the vault a dialog box says the file an not be found

    I am running firefox 3.6.6, Avast 4.8.0 shows a trojan in the firefox exe upx. When I go to move it to the vault a dialog box says the file an not be found. I uninstalled firefox and got rid of all firefox traces using Revo. but I still get the trojan warning.
    == This happened ==

    Firefox works fine on Windows 2000 SP4 for me.
    Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

  • How do I find out if other firefox copies are running? The software update keeps saying it won't install because I need to check if other copies are running.

    The update popped up, I clicked to install and it keeps popping up when I open Firefox that it cannot install because I need to check and see if other firefox copies are running. I do not know how to do that and why wouldn't firefox be able to tell if other copies are running and tell me how to delete them if that is what is necessary

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

    The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

    Hello,
    Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
    please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
    I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
    If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

  • Why does browser download a file rather than displaying it?

    I am using a Nexus 7 device. I have a website locally on the device together with all of the data files. When I use the browser to select a file it does not need to download it. I want it to call up a list of the programs that can display the file so that I can select which app to use. When I leave that app then I expect it to go back to the browser and the HTML web page I was previou. sly viewing. It has done that at various times but has stopped now. How do I get it to resume displaying the files rather than downloading them onto the same device?

    Thinking that I was deleting it from my iPod, I have inadvertently deleted a lot of music from my iTunes library.  I clicked for saving to file rather than sending to trash.  How can I get it back into my library?

    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.
