Updated firefox and it won't launch now.

Did an auto update this morning and now I cannot launch Firefox. Don't want to loose my bookmarks if I have to uninstall and then reinstall. Any suggestions?

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.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Hanging on startup- Firefox and Chrome won't launch.

    My MacBook Pro is hanging on the startup screen with the Apple. 
    I am wondering what else I can try to resolve this.
    *It finally booted in Safe Mode- but the screen froze with only a Finder window open.
    *Restarted it normally and it finally booted. 
    *To get it to restart the next day- I had to boot in Safe Mode- it froze again- and then it booted normally.
    Other troubles: Safari is the only browser that will launch. Firefox and Chrome won't open, although the Apps are running, no window ever opens.
    Here's what I've tried:
    *reset PRAM
    *ran Disk Utility - repaired permissions, verified the disk- everything checked out ok- button to repair disc wasn't an option.
    I've noticed the boot time had been taking longer over the past couple of weeks... shutdown has been taking longer, too.
    Apple replaced the Logic Board on this machine in July.  Could my current problem be related?
    Thanks.

    The G5 is a PPC Mac. Chrome and Fx require an Intel (architecture) processor.

  • Updated lightroom and it won't launch

    when i updated lightroom from the creative cloud app the program will not launch

    I have the same issue.
    I'm on a 27" iMac, with all current updates.  It opens fine on my  older MacBook Air.
    I've tried rebooting, uninstalling, repair permissions, etc all to no avail.

  • I installed the latest Security and Safari update.  Now Safari crashes and Chrome won't launch at all.  Can I revert to the software state before the newest updates?

    After installing the latest security and Safari updates (18 Sept 2013), Safari crashes and Chrome won't launch at all.  Can I revert to a software state before this latest install?

    The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
    In your case these are:
    x7e3000 - 0x7e3fff com.aladdinsys.mmenabler 7.1.0 (99) /Library/InputManagers/MagicMenuEnabler/MagicMenuEnabler.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ MagicMenuEnabler
    0x7e7000 - 0x7e7fff com.yazsoft.SDEnhancer ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SpeedDownloadEnhancer
    0x254a000 - 0x254dfff com.yazsoft.SDSafariBundle ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/Resources/SDSafariBundle.bundle/ Contents/MacOS/SDSafariBundle
    You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
    Home/Library/Input Managers
    Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
    Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
    although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
    Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally.
    Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

  • Recently I update Firefox and now I can't acces to my router

    Recently I update Firefox and now I can't acces to my router main page any more.
    Before I get a window that ask me to add an exception, cause the certificate ... as I check the remember the exception it always ask me for the exception. was not so bad as I have ask any time for the exception and finally I have acces to it . But now NO WAY !!!
    I still go to internet, all my computers are connected but I could'nt reach the router to change some settings and add news computers ( my settings are very secure on my router to add a device I have to enter the MAC address). I still get my printer at 192.168.3.141, the modem at 192.168.1.1 but when I want to go to the router main page 192.168.3.1, I get this message :
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.3.1. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    I read that FF change some settings on the new versions and last time I enter on my router without problems was on October 10.
    Now I have installed the 33.0.1 my OS Is XP.
    PLEASE HELP WITH THAT ISSUE
    EDIT: I suspect that my problem have to be with the certificate manager because I see it change a lot on this version, and have a place to add exception security like the old one that I use to have to check in the past.
    it look like the same problem as me:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889
    I don't understand almost nothing about certificates then I didn't find any tutorial explaining how to deal with. Also I sow that was totally diferent have some ssl things to check and now is a OCSP ??? for me all still chinesse (lol) I only want someting very simple: reach my router !!!.
    I only see on authorities many times my router address, I try to add an exception and say the certificate couldn't be found. I don't know how to play with all this settings , but I'm shure have relation to my problem.
    Sorry, my english it's not the best.

    [SOLVED)
    @the-edmeister That work !!! thank you very much. I have to put it at SSLv3 option to this work.
    I have a question for you. How I could figure out to work with that in the future? could I add an exception on the certificates? or something like that to still let me enter on my router web page? or how I could figure out to make any change on tomato router to still work with the new standard? .

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * 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 (not in the Firefox program 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 Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated.

    I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated. Now I can't even remove the program at all. Why is this happening?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the last firefox update
    ''locking due to the age of this thread''

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

  • After updating Firefox and Java, Firefox gets stuck loading,will not work, and I have to use End Now to exit it.

    I started to have problems after I updated Firefox and then I did a Java update, hoping this would help. Firefox will not finish loading, it gets stuck, I cannot go to websites with it, it is stuck. Then when I try to close it down, I get the message that it is not responding and I have to use" End Now". I am having to use Internet Explorer as my browser, which works fine. My computer is a six year old quite feeble PC with a 37GB hard drive with only about 5GB of available space left.

    Yes, you will lose all your data stored on the sync server if you reset the sync (recovery) key.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    Is the password manager working properly?
    You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).
    *Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    Look for:
    * chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)

  • I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email.

    I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email. I use Outlook, so how do I avoid setting up some new account and yet am able to send the link via Outlook?
    I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

  • I just updated firefox and it's automatically removed my usual tabs and now has harrypotter pictures. How can I get rid of this and revert to my setting?

    I just updated Firefox and it has removed my tab setting and replaced it with pictures of Harry Potter Films. This makes it hard to read and I would like to revert to my original settings. How do I do this?

    You may have installed a persona.
    You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Why does this keep popping up five tabs at a time: Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ - please note that I recently updated firefox and tried disabling plug-ins, etc. My virus software is up to date. Thanks.

    The page listed above pops up in a Firefox browser window with five tabs open usually when checking email but sometimes while surfing the net and repeatedly. Some include a 'problem loading page' notice with the following:
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn---jca9qmb.com.
    or
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn--dx%if-61a864d.com.
    These are the last two of the five tabs that pop up together.
    This has happened nine times in the past five to ten minutes.
    Since my Norton is up to date and I have recently updated Firefox and plug-ins, I assume this is a software problem however disabling plug-ins and other items has not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    YES it does, HOWEVER in the past Most (not all) Beta auto updates did not trigger Comodo Firewall problem (BUT occasionally did) and I resolved the same way (namely uninstalling and installing a full install.
    I do not know if having Aurora AND BETA both installed causes any conflicts regarding this issue
    I am NOW going to uninstall Maintenance service, Beta and Aurora retaining only my add-on and preferences. I will delete all Comodo rules for them Then I will download an older update of both Beta and Aurora and see what happens
    Will report back in 30 mins
