Updated FireFox, rebooted & now it wont open the browser although the icon does appear in my taskbar. Was fine until update last night. Running Win8.1

When I hover the mouse over the icon on the taskbar that appears after I have dbl-clicked the desktop icon, you can see a mini version of the open browser like normal, unfortunately the browser won't open up on the desktop. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked just fine up until I did the update last night.
Machine Specs:
Win 8.1
16 Gigs RAM
3 Gigs Video
AMD FX-6200 6 Core Processor 3.80Ghz
64 Bit

I suspect you won't need those files. Maybe give it a day or two before getting rid of them, in case you notice anything else new and strange with window/dialog sizes/positions.

    Hello maddisonsf
    Try downloading iTunes from the link below and run the installer that comes with it to see if that resolves the issue of not starting up for you.

    i updated itunes and now it wont open and keeps giving me an error message MSVCR80.dll is missing. what do i do? i dont want to lose everything

    Hi there,
    Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
    You won't lose your music when you uninstall iTunes. It's located in your music folder and won't be touched.

  • HT203175 I updated iTunes and now it wont open. Is there a fix that doesn't require re-installing it?

    I did the latest update for iTunes and now it wont open. It says my version is corrupted. Is there a way to fix it without re-installing?

    Just remove and reinstall iTunes.
    This has no affect on the media on the computer.

  • I updated itunes and now it wont open, what do i do?

    I updated itunes, and not it wont open on my computer, what do i do?

    Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling or repairing iTunes alone won't fix the problem, you need to remove other components too....
    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.

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

  • Can't import homeshare music onto laptop,updated operating system now Itunes wont open at all.

    I have an older desktop where the majority of our itunes library is.  I have been using a new laptop where I have downloaded new music to our same itunes account.  Today I turned the desktop on and turned on HOME Sharing in itunes, where the music did show up on my laptop.  I clicked to select all songs but the import button was not highlighted and would not allow me to click it. So I decided to update the operating system to the most current on my desktop, since it has not been used/updated for over a year.  Now Itunes will not even open when I click on it, it just bounces up and down and stops.  I updated the flash player and that did not help.  Now I cant open ITUNES  and homeshare dissapeared on my laptop. My ultimate goal would be to get all the music for itunes off the desktop and on my laptop  Can anyone please help me?

    Do you get an error message when you try to open iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Cookies are not being cleared when I close the browser although the option is set. Any suggestions?

    Under Options; Privacy I have Clear history when Firefox closes ticked and within the Settings for Clearing History I have Cookies ticked. Cookies are not being cleared when I close the browser. Windows 7, SP1 x64

    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> and <b>cookies.txt</b>, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

    Hi so my adobe illustrator just updated to CC 18.1 ( <- i think) and i went to open a file that I created 2 months ago and i get a pop up window that says illustration can not be opened. this in a new place of employment for me so i have been trying to figure out how the prior person had thing configured ect .

Can anyone please shed some light on this for me
    Thanks

    It's too late now, if you want to use the iPhone, you need to restore.
    It's very Important to backup iif you have important stuff you want to keep, do it more often, especially a IOS updates.

  • I updated Firefox. Now, I can't get rid of the blue box saying drag drag the icon to the applications folder. Plus another icon to 'eject' firefox opens. Every time I open firefox, they show up. Even Apple Help could not fix it.

    I can close the little blue 'drag' box every time I open Firefox, but that is a hassle, and I know it should not be necessary. When I try to eject the 'peripheral' icon, it says I cannot because Firefox is in use. I have to wait until I close Firefox to be able to eject it off the desktop.
    Mac OS X 3.4 GHz, Intel i7

    Hi dgbakker-
    When you open Firefox and go to the Firefox > About menu, does it say that Firefox is up to date? I've seen at least one other person with this issue, and any more detail would be helpful.

  • Recent security update...now programs wont open

    I recently did the Security Update for Quicktime 2007-001. Right when it informed me to restart my computer the computer froze so i had to reboot.
    Now it seems all the programs from a certain point on my nav bar on over will not open, nor will they open from their root location, these programs being Quark, Entourage, Word, Excel, Yahoo IM, Preview, iCal to name a few?
    Any ideas what happened?

    First try to repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility. If that doesn't help, you can try to reinstall the Security Update from the Downloads page.

  • Tried to update itunes but now it wont open,an error message comes up ??

    i have tried to update my itunes but now i am not able to open it and an error message comes up saying "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found . re installing the application may fix the problem" . i dont know how to reinstall it or how to fix it help !??

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
