Unable to unlock firefox

firefox inadvertently removed by bleachbit.
now unable to open

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 16.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Unable to launch firefox above 3.0 after upgrade attempt

I had firefox 3.0. I tried upgrading when 3.2 came out and was unable to launch firefox after that. For each subsequent revision, I tried to upgrade but always had same problem. It does not give any error message. It just refuses to launch.So I just stopped trying to upgrade and kept using the 3.0. I use an EeePC mini notebook with XP home edition. It functions well with the other browser which I don't like to use. Any suggestion?

Hello Dieter,
We have used fully qualified domain name as the server name and all the services have been activated using SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INT.
The notes 808347 and 816973 have already been checked through.The browser prob i have implemented but to no help. Is there any parameter to be set in the profile parameter maintenance for SNC, I am not sure; its just a wild guess..we are not using portal as of now.
Thanks For Your Help,
Karthik

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.

I am unable to start Firefox. Getting message that it's already running. Can't find my profile using "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles|". What do I need to do

I am unable to start Firefox. Getting message that it's already running. Can't find my profile using "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles|". Rebooting my computer didn't help. Since I experienced that problem I also noticed that all my bookmarks which I had copied into the Windows Internet Explorer have also disappeared. I am using Firefox as my primary search engine and usually don't use Internet Explorer. I am running Windows 7 on my machine.

Any other suggestions?

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.

Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete them.

Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete.

It turns out that you cannot update or delete a Syndication Map that is currently assigned to a Port in the Repository. You must remove the map from the Port in the Repository and then you can change and/or delete them.
1) bring up the MDM Console
2) Unload the repository
3) drill into Admin ~ Port
4) Remove or change the map associated to the port
5) Load the repository
6) Then you go into Syndicator and either Update the Map or Delete it
It had nothing to do with security.
Thank you for your help.

System unable to unlock login keychain

I had a very unfortunate problem with adware this morning and used Adwaremedic to remove it. The program prompted me to restart after removing the adware. Now when I log in to my account I have two windows -- one tells me the system was unable to unlock my login keychain and gives me three options: continue login, create new keychain, and update keychain password. The other window says 'calendaragent wants to use the login keychain'. If I hit cancel, then it pops up again with different programs that want my login keychain such as addressbooksourcesync or com.apple.icloudhelper.xpc. I'm not sure whether or not I should trust this and put in my password.
Anyone here had a similar experience?

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 and again when you log in. 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.

You need to place your iPod in recovery mode and restore it via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You could have found this solution is you would have searched the iPod Touch forum since the same question gets asked many time each day.

I am unable to unlock my computer?

I was able to unlock my MacBook Pro and then closed it and am now unable to unlock it. Help please!!!!

More details please...
What does 'unable to unlock it' mean? Do you mean
- there is no login window
- there is a login window but I can't enter anything
- there is a login window, but when I enter my pwd, it rejects it
- there is a login window, it accepts my pwd, but the computer doesn't do anything after that
As you can see, there's a few different possibilties, and the help you need will be different depending on the details.

hi i used to have O2 pay monthly contract but it ended in September 2012, since the contract expired I keep requesting O2 to unlock my iphone4. But they keep saying we are unable to unlock because of error. This is going on for 2 years. O2 keep saying they retrying and nothing happening. I am frustrated. How to unlock my phone? Can Apple help me?

No Apple cannot and this is a User to User forum ,no Apple staff here
As the carrier that locked the iPhone ,O2 are the only organisation that can unlock the iPhone
That said they are the most co-operative of all UK carriers with unlocking
Have you actually asked what the issue is and filled in their request form
and are you still located in UK ,if not that will be the issue

Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 'URL of the site' why does this appear in all browser??

I have used these sites
-www.facebook.com
-www.dubbedonline.tv/ and some others for a long time but few weeks ago i couldn't access them anymore and this appeared :
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.facebook.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
i have also tried many ways to access them but none of the solution worked, one of them was checking troubleshooting problems and it detected that the remote device won't accept the connection, so, how can i fix this?

You can check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
