Firefox will not open a browser window since downloading Lyon Operating system to my MAC.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

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.

Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

Ever since downloading Firefox 4, whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon and disk and am not allowed to send it to trash as I have down in other downloads.

I downloaded Firefox 4 a while ago. I followed the instructions and tried to get rid of the Icon on my desktop and the disk. Whenever I try to do so I get a message stating that the disk "Firefox" couldn't be ejected because Firefox is using it and that I have to quit the application and try to eject the disk again. But whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon (the one with the fox and the arrow) and the disk back in my desktop. Can I ever get rid of them?

Did you drag the the Firefox program from the disk image (DMG) to the application folder on your hard drive ?

Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download an installer from here:

It is the source of your problems, IMHO.

Unable to open firefox 4 after download. Getting already running or not responding window.

Firefox 4 was working well at first and then would continually freeze. Now after uninstalling and reinstalling several times, including manually, I can not open firefox at all. I keep getting the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." window. I have restarted my computer and looked on task manager and there is no firefox process running.
Please help, thank you.

?unable to open raw photo file after downloading camera raw 7.4 update?

Can anyone help please.
I recently had my lap top wiped and have had to re load CS6. I have also downloaded the camera raw 7.4 update (I use a Nikon D7100 camera) The update downloads without any problems, I go through download, install and then finish, but I still am unable to open my raw photos. I get the following message... 'if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest raw camera update installed'. I have no idea why it is doing this, or how to combat it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Gail

Hi Benjamin,
You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
Many many thanks! Cheers

When I try to download Firefox 5.0 (I have 4.0) I get the box that indicates that Acrobat could not open 'Firefox 5.0.dmg' . Mac OS10.6.7 Help!

I keep getting the Software Update for Firefox 5.0. I try to update after viewing the informatiion choosing English and MacOS X. It downloads and then I get the message: "Acrobat could not open ‘Firefox 5.0.dmg’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded)."
I would be most grateful for any help; I am 78 and trying but not succeeding. Ah, the scourge of age.

Sorry, Firefox 4.0.1 isn't supported any longer, that's why you are getting re-directed. Firefox 5.0 is a security update for 4.0.1; Firefox 4.0 didn't get that update, but Firefox 3.6.18 did. Best to stick with 3.6.18 until whatever you are using for those logins is updated for Firefox 5.0.

Why while opening firefox it tries to download files from my computer?

Every time I open Firefox navigator, I see the download arrow as if it has just downloaded. Today, however, I looked more than usual and found out that there are 6 files from my computer that appear as failed download.
I run my antivirus (free) with no luck.
What can it be?

Hello and welcome to our community,
To help you solve this problem, please try the following steps:
# 1 : Try to disconnect your internet by doing:

If the problem is gone, re-enable your network adapter.
# 2 : Open firefox and clear browse and download history by pressing :
Ctrl + Shift + Delete -> Click on details to expand the panel or dont if the panel is already expanded -> Check everything -> Select All from the first selection box (It might write "Last hour") -> Click clear now button. Close and reopen firefox and check if the problem is gone.
#3 : Clear firefox's cache memory by going:
Press alt button -> Tools -> Options -> Select the Advanced Tab-> Select the network subtab and click on the two buttons that write clear now ->
OK. Close and reopen firefox and check if the problem is gone.
Let me know if your problem is solved,

I am unable to open a Zip file I downloaded.

I play an online golf game at www.wgt.com and to help my playng I downloaded an app from www.wgt.4fan.cz it is WGT Caddy PRO. I am unable to open the file. From reading the answers to other questions concerning opening Zip files, I downloaded Unarchiver and Stuffit Expander. Neither will open the files. There is a file WGTCaddy.exe, I get a box stating "We can't open application"WGTCaddy.exe" because Microsoft windows apps are not supported on OSX. The WGTCaddy.ini file brings the message 'A failure has occurred. The Stuffit Engine was unable to determine the file format. As for the Microsoft message, I bought my iMac from a 3rd party and it has Office 2008 and other Microsoft programs, I am able to open them all. There is a video on YouTube demonstratin how to download WGTCaddy PRO and install it. The person on the video says it is a ZIP file, I am a computer dunce, so I am taking what he says, that it is a ZIPfile, at face value. That is my sad tale, any suggestions? Might the app not be compatible with OSX? Could it be another type of file? I 'll appreciate any suggestions. Thank you all.

Exe files are Microsoft Windows executables and will not work on Macs. Your Office 2008 is Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. That's why it works.

Can't open attachments from Mail since downloading Lion...

I have recently updated to Lion and since then I'm unable to open attachments in my email - either attachments received or documents I've attached to an email I'm composing. The app - Pages, Numbers, etc. - will open, but nothing happens after that.
When trying to open email attachments the document will open in Preview, but if I select "Open in Pages/Numbers" it gets stalled, as described above.
My only option seems to be to save the document and then open through the app or Finder, extra steps I'd rather not always have to take.
Help?

I'm having the same problem. I know there's an attachment. I can see the paper clip in the listing of e-mails, but when I open the e-mail, there's nothing to launch to see the attachment!

Unable to open firefox, dialogue box says program already open but not as far as I can see.

Recently when I log on to my pc and try to open Firefox, a dialogue box appears and tells me something like - firefox is already open, close firefox and try again. As I haven't opened firefox, I don't know what the dialogue box means. I went into task manager and the firefox program was not shown as open. I clicked the processes tab and deleted firefox from the list. I use Firefox 4 b9, this also happened when I had 4 b7. I uninstalled the former but no change. I reset system to earlier date, ran a virus check but all ok. I downloaded Firefox 3.6, then followed the upgrade for 4 b9 and all was ok until I was using my media player 2 days ago and tried to watch BBCiPlayer at the same time which is when the problem arose again. Also Firefox extremely slow to open. I managed to get online this time by going into History and clicking a website I used some time ago before all the above happened.

I am using IE to post this message on Firefox.
It has happened again. At 23:05 (UK time) I openedFirefox on the firefox site not IE. I opened my btinternet.com email account but at 23:41 the tab had not opened fully and still trying to load. I closed firefox and tried to open it again and here are the correct details of the dialogue box which appeared.
' (?) Firefox is already running. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox proces, or restart your system'.
I cannon do a restart at present as the tv part of my pc is recording a movie so I will try again later.
Anyone out there that can help us please? Thank you.
