Used Firefox almost exclusively, then it stopped working. I reinstalled, find the program in Programs, but it will not load. How do I fix in Windows XP?

Firefox will not start. It had been my default browser. I downloaded and reinstalled program running Windows XP. When I click on icon on desktop, or attempt to run from Programs, nothing happens.
Permissions did not change in the McAfee security software
This is what shows in Properties:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
File version: 1.9.2.3989
File size: 890 KB (912,344 bytes)
Coincidentally, Windows Messenger now attempt to start every time I try to open an Internet Browser

The [[Firefox will not start]] article may help.
You can try creating a new profile to see if the problem is with your current profile (the profile is where Firefox stores user data). For details on doing that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
If the new profile does work, you can copy selected data from the old profile, as shown in the "Suggested profile contents to transfer" section of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile] article.

    Morning foley13,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can resolve many Wi-Fi issues by checking your network connection settings.

  • I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

    I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

    Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
    Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
    So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
    I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
    Any ideas about the dropped network?

  • Can't use my Comcast/Xfinity email on mozilla any more have to use google chrome to access it. I can log on through comcast/xfinity homepage but it will not let me read my email, just keeps redirecting me to inbox preview. Can this be corrected?

    Can't use my Comcast/Xfinity email on mozilla any more have to use google chrome to access it. I can log on through comcast/xfinity homepage but it will not let me read my email, just keeps redirecting me to inbox preview. I used to have no problem before firefox 7. Can this be corrected? Or should I discontinue using Firefox?

    Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!!! I have been arguing with Comcast for 6 months on this. They told me to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Then I found this website and there was my solution. It worked. It was annoying that they told me to use internet explorer. The worst part is I pay them monthly. Well, as soon as my contract is up, I am done with Comcast. They still haven't figured out why my favorite stations aren't coming in. Funny thing is my roommate has Direct t.v. with no problems. At half the price. See ya Comcast. I am done paying for shabby over priced service. Thank you Firefox. I can't believe I pay for crappy service and this is free.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • I used to have broad, then it stopped working

    As the title says , i did have broadband, about 6 or more months,, then it stopped working, so i contact bt, eventually after several visits by engineers, literaly hours and hours of phone calls, several times got cut off after around 45 mins to an hour of repeating myself over and over again to an opperators that only has the ability to read the script in front of them .and also being blatently lied to by bt operators , to achieve nothing but to highten their incompetance in their complete failure to solve the problem and get my broadband working as IT DID BEFORE,  they tell me my line won't support broadband, well i know that because it's stopped working, i have allready told them that, obvious if the signal won't get to me.  not rocket science, so i tell them . well mend it, they say they can't, i am to far away from the exchange, so i tell them,,, i have not moved anywhere ,, am at the same address, it wasn't to far away a month ago, and they read the script in front of them again , and tell me pending new technology bla bla bla, so i have got to wait for someone to invent something it appears,, but lets not forget, it did work , i had it for over 6 months, my neighbours work and his neighbour also, its just bt bull**bleep**,
    VERY ANGRY DAVID,   

    Contact the mods, you can do that by following this link: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 , this is a specialised UK based team who will do everything in their power to provision broadband for you.  It may be that some cable has been swapped to a lower grade which has meant the broadband is unable to reach you.  They have access to detailed checks and should do everything, even if it proves needing an engineer to provision it.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Macbook Air 13" Camera stops working after a few hours. Needs Restart to be functioning again. How do I fix this?

    Hello!
    The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
    Any suggestions?

    Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
    I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
    All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
    Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

    Hey Bill Seiden,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the orientation of your iPhone. Let's check to make sure orientation lock is not enabled, you can do so from the Control Center:
    Lock the screen in portrait orientation - Control Center
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TI152#TI152
    Lock the screen in portrait orientation.
    Swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen to reveal Control Center.
    Tap to lock the screen in portrait orientation.
    Thanks,
