Unresponsive, won't load, Uninstalled and reinstalled, same results.

In the last month this began to slow and act oddly. Using Windows 7 system. Explorer is operating normally.
Now I click on Firefox and nothing happens. Uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with no change in the outcome. What do I do?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a QuickTime program file there.
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "QuickTime" and then click "Repair".
    Does the repair go through okay? If so, are you able to launch iTunes and/or Safari now?

  • I get a crash notice. Firefox will not launch at all -- it keeps giving crash notice. I also cannot generate a crash report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled -- same issue. It does not launch.

    Firefox crashed this morning. It will not launch even after being uninstalled and reinstalled. All I can get is a crash box. It will not relaunch in any way

    This sounds the same as my issue. I was browsing in Firefox v6.0 last night and all of a sudden it closed with no notice or error message. When I tried to open FF I received the messaga; We're Sorry - Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." I does not restart. I have been using IE to browse for a solution and nothing works other than opening as administrator. Now this problem is only on one of my laptops and is fine on my desktop and other laptops so it appears to be something specific to my laptop which is running Window XP Home and Service Pack 3.
    Some suggestions were to change the profile (did not work), end the firefox.exe process in task manager (not running in processes) and delete an xpicleanup.exe (not listed).
    The only thing that works is to run as administrator but I have to do this everytime. Is ther a solution?

  • I installed itunes, and when it starts, it says the program has stopped working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing

    I recently installed Itunes on my laptop, and was able to add music to it, but then it would always pop up a window that said itunes had stopped working anytime I opened it.  I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and it's doing the same thing.  Please help!!!!

  • ITunes Won't Open -- Uninstalled and Reinstalled

    I am unable to open iTunes on my pc. I tried uninstalling QuickTime and reinstalling and it did not work. Then I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, and still it will not open. Whether I try through the icon or through the programs menu, it just will not open. Any tips?

    I have Norton 2006, I believe, installed on it. It's set to expire in 2 months.
    hmmmm. much rarer to get error-message-free launch failures associated with 2006 (or 2007) than it is with 2005 ... but we'd better follow up on this.
    it's been a while since my 2006 expired, and i'm at 2007 now. but i'll try to remember what it's going to look like for you. apologies if the instructions are a bit sketchy.
    quit iTunes and QuickTime.
    bring up your Protection Center and click on Norton Personal Firewall. click the configure button.
    make sure that all of:
    Apple Software Update (May be called just "Software Update")
    Apple iTunes (or "iTunes")
    iTunes Helper
    QuickTime Player (or "Apple QuickTime Player")
    ... are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    okay out of the tab, and try launching iTunes again.
    do you get a launch this time?

  • When I click to open firefox, about 20 browsers come up. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem. What can I do?

    No further details

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • Message "Windows security has found critical process activity on your system and will perform fast scan of system files" gray screen, is frozen uninstall and reinstall same, also this is on the bottom left "Read melhores-antivirus.ce.ms"

    help me

    Sounds like an infection on the machine, not a FF issue. Run a virus scan by going to your anti-virus program yourself. NEVER click on any pop-ups that warn you of a virus even the red "x" to close it. Viruses can spoof the look and feel of legitimate dialogs and can even activate if clicking the "x" instead of closing. Simply ignore them, then run a scan manually.
    Also, I've seen some recent redirects that send you to a spoof site that looks like WinXP "My Computer" page and shows that you have "viruses" with a click to scan or clean option. But this isn't My Computer, it's just a web page designed to infect you. Just close that page or tab.

    Hi response to my above problem, I have been browsing the Adobe forums and have found a number of others who are experiencing the same problem as me.
    Here are the links
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/776454
    and
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/677258
    It seems that the root cause of the problem is that Adobe workflows is not compatible with the newest versions of AIR (2.0.0 and above)
    This should be something that Adobe can fix quite easily. Its not a good first impression for Adobe customers to have a fresh install which seems to not work properly.
    If any Adobe representatives read this, I hope this issue will be addressed and a solution provided to the wider Adobe community

  • I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message.  How can this be resolved.

    I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message.  How can this be resolved?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • Lightroom CC won't open. Flash screen flashes, but that's it. Uninstalled and reinstalled (with CC) but got the same result.

    I installed Lightroom CC with CC App on Macbook running Yosemite 10.10.3. It says it's installed, but attempts to open it get only a momentary view of the flash screen, then nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled but get the same result.

    I can confirm that sign out of Creative Cloud, and sign back in works, as the post above says.
    To Adobe: Creative Cloud needs to die horrible death. Please bring back regular licensing of your products. CC has been nothing but nightmare.

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • Firefox won't open pdf files; uninstalled and reinstalled Firefoxes, updated all extensions,etc. still getting error messages.

    When I attempt to load a .pdf file, a window pops up reading "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)"
    I have tried rebooting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, making sure all plug-ins are updated (they are), disabling every other plug in to see if it was interfering (they weren't -- still got same message), and reinstalling adobe reader (and flash, just for good measure).
