You will need to update to Firefox 3.6 to ensure security updates.

  • My safari wont open when i click on it, how do i fix this?

    When i try to open up Safari, it bounces around 2-3 times and then stops. it wont open at all.
    I have tried finding out on how to fix this problem but found nothing.
    how do i fix this problem?

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.
    If that doesn't work:
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • After sleep browser won't open unless I do a restart, how do I fix?

    If I open firfox and then let system go into sleep mode I can not reopen firefox unless I do a complete restart of the PC. I am using Windows XP

    Goto File > Exit & try it...
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the 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.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

    My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

    Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
    If this fails:
    Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

  • My DVD drive won't open when I click the button

    Hi there
    I'm hoping someone can help me.
    My DVD drive won't open when I click the button.
    I've tried clicking on eject on the DVD Drive icon in My Computers and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted cookies the other day. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to send my laptop away to a technician.

    Hi
    Try to open the CD/DVD drive manually.
    Near the eject button you will find a small hole.
    You could use a small object like staple and could push it carefully into this hole.
    Usually this should helps to open the drive manually.

    Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
    Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
    Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

  • Firefox home page doesn't open when I click on Firefox. Have to go to File and click on New Window to get into Start Page.

    Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
    BTW, you really should upgrade to the latest version. See [[Updating Firefox]]

  • Finder won't open when I click on the icon

    OSX Yosemite
    iMac 21.5 in , late 2009
    Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 8 GB 1067 MGz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Out of the blue my Finder App will not open when I click the icon.  Finder will open if I click and hold the Finder icon and select New Finder Window.  It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I use Finder a lot and don't want the extra step of clicking and holding.
    I have checked the Finder functionality on my other Users and it works fine, so it is just my User that is having the problem.
    This is what I have tried to do to fix the issue:
    Delete com.apple.finder.com and restart
    Delete all Login Items and restart
    Unplug all peripherals and restart
    Test the issue in Safe Mode.  The problem still occurred in Safe Mode.
    Deleted my User and restored from Time Machine Backup.  Still have the problem.
    I don't know what else to try.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
