Though it seems running on my task manager, my firefox is not displayed on my desktop. When clicked on, it does not appear to work. What can I do about this

The firefox looks running in task manager but not running at the monitor/screen.

this may happen when you encounter a firefox auto-update after a restart of your firefox.exe. 2 ways to solve, 1st, remove the firefox for now, go mozilla official download a completely new install pack of firefox 4, and install it. 2nd, wait wait and wait, use an alternative(maybe google chrome 10.x), during waiting for the firefox.exe responding. good luck of you.

My computer crashed and I cant reload firefox.. I have tried the task manager and deleting uninstalling and installing program again. I click on icon and nothing appears although it appears to start and is running in task manager, but the browser wont open.

See:

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I want to install winXP to my iMAC running Lion OS. I will use BootCamp. My winXP uses 2 disks with XP on one CD and SP2 on the other. Bootcamp seems to say use a one disk version.   What can I do about this paradox?

     I want to install winXP on my iMac. It has OS 10.7.2 and uses a 27" display. I will use Bootcamp and create a separate partion for winXP. Bootcamp instructions call for a single disk winXP CD with Service Pack 2 on it. My version has winXP on one disk and Service pack 2 on another. Will this be a problem? If it is, is there a solution?
                                                                        Tnx...K6jpj

If you just bought an iMac a week ago new, it WILL NOT support XP unless XP is inside a virtual machine. End of story. You will need Windows 7 if you plan to run Windows natively on any Mac in 2011.
Used models will run XP, though--from the Intel inception in '06 through the middle part of 2010.
However, consider that Microsoft wants XP gone--and badly so--even as it is extending security hotfix support through April 2014. This gives you two years and four months before you have to throw down for whatever's current at that time.
Windows 7 will give you a much better experience (dare I say more Mac-like?) than XP, as it seems to be better organized. The Taskbar, for instance, has become more like the OS X Dock in that you can "pin" things to it in a straightforward manner, unlike XP's seldom-used Quick Launch traybar.
7's also built to take advantage of all the snazzy new hardware you now have.
But don't let me sell it to you. It's really your call.

I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Thanks so much for your reply! You've definitely got me leaning more toward the Curve now. I'm sooooo bummed out that our Alltel doesn't have the pink Curve. They're in the process of switching over to Verizon but said it'll be around late summer before they really start getting their phones in. All I have to choose from is red and black! If they had the silver one, I'd go for that even. But as you mentioned, you can buy all sorts of skins and covers for them so I guess I can always give that a try! If they'd had the pink Curve I would have exchanged in a heartbeat! haha I'm such a girl sometimes.
I really do a lot of emailing, texting, IMing, etc., so the Curve may be better for me. My last phone was a Scoop (though I only had it for a few months because it was a replacement phone) and toward the end, I started to get used to the full QWERTY keyboard more. I really like that the Curve has buttons that you can really depress... Not just the flat keys that you can't even really feel as you're pushing!
Thanks again for your help! My sister and niece are also telling me I should go with the Curve.

I have been getting firefox not responding for months. It is worse today. I sit and wait and wait. It's not worth it. I have searched about plugins and find nothing that seems to get rid of the problem. Please what can I do about this.

When I first started with firefox it was great and I was so happy with it. Well I have to say it has gotten so bad today that I am ready to give up. I have run virus scans, malware scans and even disabled a couple of add ons but to no avail its terrible.
Surely you all know what add ons it could be if thats it at all. Getting pretty desperate here.

Waka_Flocka_Flame, it looks like you were right. It was an app called "Safe Saver" of all things, that I got with a coupon website. No more magnifying glasses!

Firefox is constantly enters 'not responding' mode. it seems to happen most often when I try to scroll or click. This is literally happening every 5 minutes or so and takes 30-40 seconds to respond after that happens. HELP! What can I do about this?

every few minutes when using firefox, it just stops responding just as I about to click or scroll or open a link or any action. Then I have to wait 30-40 seconds for it to respond over and over again.

Have you tried to run it in safe mode
[[Safe Mode]]
This will eliminate all plugins ect.
If that works and you dont get any freezing then we know its to do with a addon.

I updated to Firefox 5 and now have problems with it not responding ALOT and also even though I have certian sites listed to allow popups they dont work on several sites I use daily. What can I do about this?

I dont know what else to say about it. I updated and now all this is happening and it didnt before my update to Firefox5. I have several site I use daily and I have gone in and marked them to allow popups and they just dont work. The sites are My Yearbook...Kia Financeing...and a few more. And also I am finding that I get a no response a lot!

I am sorry you are not in a position to replace the iPad. It is stating the obvious, but nothing lasts forever - especially something like an original iPad. IMHO, there is nothing you can do to address the issues you have posted about.

I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

HT1925 I was trying to make sure that all my Apple software was uninstalled, and I still can't remove C:\Program Files\iPod\. I went to the Task Manager and it is not listed in the Processes tab. What do I do now?

Are you looking for iPodService.exe?
Might be better to run services.msc from the run dialog and shut down the service polietly.

Firefox will not open because it thinks it is open, but task manager says it is not open.

I cannot get firefox to open. If I try to uninstall it says I must close it. If I try to download it it says I must close it.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Can't find my audio book -- Downloaded it from my public library to iTunes via Overdrive. It transferred to my old nano just fine but, even though it seemed to transfer to my new iPhone, I'm not able to locate it for playback.

Thank you. That solved the problem. So simple but it wasn't intuitive to me.
