Tried to load V6 now Firefox doesn't open at all. Windows Vista.

I've been using Firefox for years. I just downloaded the upgrade to Firefox 6 and Firefox won't open at all.
I get a SETUP error message:
"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?"
I've tried to reinstall. Get same message.
I've tried to uninstall and I get the same message there too.

I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all.

I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all. It tells me "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." Also, that "Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem." And it give a bunch of code. This is my main browser. What is happening here? My OS X is 10.6.7. Has this caused a problem?

If you right-click on your Photoshope.exe, select Properties, there should be a Compatibility tab. There you can select Windows XP, Windows 2000, Winows 98 or 95. One of these should allow you to open Photoshop 6, unless you mean CS6.

Recently downloaded ACR 8.4a. Now ACR doesn't open at all.

Another question about Photoshop CS6 for Macs and ACR 8.4. I downloaded ACR 8.4a few days ago and now ACR doesn't open at all, either from Bridge or CS6. It's completely "broken." Up to this point ACR worked fine. Suggestions about how to fix it?
Thanks,
Peter

See if this solves the issue:
Replace the existing 8.4 camera raw plugin with the one from this page.

Just updates itunes and now it doesn't open at all, not even an error message

I just updated itunes and now it doesn't open, no error message comes up, it's like i never even clicked it, well for a second the 'in progress' circle spins
tried restarting the computer, that wasn't any help
cleaned up registry with ccleaner
even opened up programs and features and right clicked it instead of uninstalling it i clicked repair, no help either
please anyone have a solution?

try with this one
uninstall all the apple application S/w from your pc,
Reboot it
Now download a fresh itunes from apple and try installing
Reboot it

I just did two System Restores (and clicked something that asked me about "[something -exe]," and now Firefox won't open at all.

I hope someone can help. My husband did something to update Firefox (or Firefox just automatically updated today, I don't know which), but I didn't like the new toolbar much, so I did a System Restore to get back the old one. That didn't work, so I then did another System Restore for an earlier day, but when I restarted the computer, Firefox wouldn't open at all.
A pop-up asked me something about "allowing 'something-.exe' at start-up," with options like "Remember this action, don't allow, and allow," I think, and I don't remember what I clicked, and that's likely part of the problem, but in any case, I can't get Firefox to start now. I click on the logo/icon and nothing happens.
I tried to undo both System Restores, but the computer would only restore the most recent one, not both.
And I tried, as suggested on the forum elsewhere, to go into "Firefox Safe Mode," but that didn't help either.
Thank you for any help.

That's what happened to me too after I upgraded to firefox 4 and it wouldn't connect to my internet. Now I'm stuck with Internet Explorer with none of my important personal information like my favorites.

I think I, by mistake, hit never alow when firefox was trying to load someting,now firefox will not install. what can I do?

Firefox needs to update. When I try to install the bar just keeps going and going for hours. I think a plug in or something that I did not recognize wanted access and for the first time I hit never allow. I have tried to disable my McAfee firewall and that did not help. Is there anything that I can do at this time to install update?

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version. 
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.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 in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile 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.

I updated, and now Firefox will not open at all on my computer. Tried numerous times to turn computer off and then on again. Everything else is closed.

I updated as I was asked. The computer was on for a while and then turned off. Now, it won't open firefox at all. A big red 'x' and an error message pops up. Message says: The procedure entry point XRE_GetFileFromPath could not be located in the dynamic link library xul. dll.
I can open an old internet explorer, but then I can't respond to your e-mails for confirmation as they must go thru the mozilla browser. I AM CONTACTING YOU THROUGH MY HUSBANDS COMPUTER.... NOT MINE CUZ I CAN'T RESPOND TO YOUR LINKS....
This is very frustrating. I just want my old browser and bookmarks back! Please help.

When resetting the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem, the problem is likely due to a a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

I just upgraded to v3.6.26 (from v3.6.24 or 25) now Firefox does not open at all - no error, no nothing.

I chose 'restart Firefox' after the upgrade, but it didn't open. I tried double-clicking on the desktop icon, then Start -> Firefox, but absolutely nothing happens. There was something on the upgrade page which I didn't read ( ! ) about Firefox not opening after this upgrade when certain files were missing. Any diagnostic help appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that didn't work. I went to my Norton 2009/2010 settings as per the instructions, and removed Firefox, and re-added it, and it still doesn't open. (I got a message saying 'you're trying to add a program that already has rules'.)
I went back to v3.6.x after initially upgrading to v4 and had so many problems I un-installed and went back to the previous version (internet searching revealed that everyone who had my problems had done the same). The latest versions of Firefox also have myriad problems. I just want it to work! And v3.6.24 DID work. But now, I have no Firefox at all. :-(

After working fine for years, this morning lost homepage, settings and themes. Now, Firefox will not open at all.

I've had Firefox for years. This morning, my theme, homepage, and settings were gone and I could not restore them. Now I can't open Firefox at all, no matter what I try.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This morning

Firefox keeps that info in a separate folder called your "profile". It's possible that a new profile was created. But does your original still exist? Try starting Firefox in the profile manager to see if there are other profiles listed. See [[Managing profiles]]

ITunes and QuickTime doesn't open up on Windows Vista

Hi! I will apreciate all who tries to answer this question.
I have Windows Vista on my HP laptop and I dowloaded iTunes and QuickTime.
I had no problem downloading it, but then opening it came a box.
It said:
iTunes has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem
-> Check online for a solution and close the program
-> Close the program
View problem details
Problem signature:

Then I press close the program and a speech bubble appears at the
bottom right corner of the screen.
It said:

I have no idea whats hapening.
HELP!

excellent information, sparkly.
Fault Module Name: StackHash_fd00
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
... and:
To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes
... and the QuickTime Player not launching either (it's a "QuickTime has stopped working" error?).
With that combination, we need to check on some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I just updated itunes to 10.7 version, but now itunes won't open. i have Windows Vista

Hi:
My itunes stopped working when I installed the lates version which is 10.7. Itunes won't even come up now even when I connect my ipod. My ipod is the only device that I use with itunes. I have Windows Vista.
Please help me fix this problem! I AM NOT computer savvy, and I would prefer not to uninstall/re-install itunes and or quicktime. I have read many "solutions" on the internet, and people often say that uninstalling ect doesn't help. I just need the simplest solution because I barely know how to download music! Ha-ha!
Anyway, an answer would be appreciated, and sooner the better because I usually watch important podcasts that I am now missing.
Thank you!
Lindencole

Firefox 4 could not be made to show bookmarks on Vista 64bit. I used system restore to get back to older version. Now Firefox won't open at all even after undoing system restore

I use Vista 64 bit. Was fine with older Version of Firefox (3.6, I believe). Upgraded to Ver. 4. Couldn't access extensive bookmarks file or bookmarks toolbar. Tried all the Firefox help recs and they didn't work. Clicking the top button would give list of toolbars but when I tried to move to bookmarks toolbar the menu changed. Tried going thru tools and options and that didn't work. So decided to use System Restore to get old Firefox version back. Icons remained but program wouldn't open. Tried many ways, including start menu. Old version is still on program control file but only option is to uninstall. So went back to System Restore to get Vers. 4 back and it's not there. What to do?? I can use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I want all my 100's of bookmarks back. Thank you.

I received a Firefox update message, ran the update and now Firefox won't open at all. Help?

I'm using Max OS 10.4.11
Never had a problem with Firefox updates until this a.m. (I'm using Safari to access this site)

Hi there,
Unfortunately, Mac OS 10.4 does not support Firefox 4...see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox Installing Firefox]. I would recommend you uninstall, and then reinstall the latest build of [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older Firefox 3.6].
