  • I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 I restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend

    Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

  • When I click the firefox icon, nothing happens. What to do?

    When firefox was first installed, a short time ago, it was very fast and I was able to continue working.
    Gradually the response became slower and slower, and now nothing happens when I click the icon.
    What to do?

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • When I click the FireFox icon, nothing happens. It looks like it is starting to load but then doesn't. It appears the internet cache is not getting cleared. How do I clear this to get FireFox to execute?

    When the above happens, I try to run CCleaner and it tells me I need to close FireFox before it will clean the files, but it is not running? It just shows internet cache file is there at 0kb.

    More likely an extension and "AVG Safe Search" is a distinct possibility, but only if you are using AVG antivirus application from Grisoft.com
    '' If you were on Firefox 4 or 5 then you can get into safe mode with the least amount of difficulty. but you're not''
    * Safe Mode - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
    * Problematic extensions - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    and if you can run okay in Safe Mode then you pretty much know the problem is an extension. Clearing cache using Firefox Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Clear Now

  • I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

    I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

  • My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

    My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

    Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

  • When I click the stacking icon nothing happens

    I have had this happen before but can't remember how I fixed it. In Grid or filmstrip, I have, for example, two images stacked. The icon in the image shows 2 images. When I click on the icon both images are not displayed. All I get is an icon that show 2. Click again and it shows 2. Click again and it will show 1 - which is the same image.
    Any advice?
    Thanks
    James

    Hello,
    check if you have set an filter in the metadatabar (pick, color lable, etc). You can open / close stacks but only images that fullfil the filter will be displayed.

  • My firefox does not open, when I click on the icon nothing happens

    My firefox does nothing at all.

    Also having the same problem.
    I have tried the following with no luck.
    *Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
    *deleting the .parentlock file
    *deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
    *Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
    *Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
    all with no luck.
    Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
    If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • When i click on firefox logo, nothing happens, i've deleted it, and re-downloaded it, i've restored it to a point one week ago, before the problem, still does not work.

    When i try to open firefox, nothing happens, ive re-installed it, i've resored it twice, and it still will not open. I've tried to open a crash report but says it can't can't, at a loss,
    == i was online ==
    == User Agent ==

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • I just downloaded osx lion and when i click the lion icon nothing happens why cant i log in?

    I just downloaded Mac osx lion and at the login in page when I click the lion nothing happens why can't I log in?

    Sounds like a Windows installer. Does it say Mac on the disk? When you open the dmg, does it say Office:Mac?

  • I have downloaded some ibooks but when I click on the icon nothing happens - it won't open

    I have downloaded some ibooks from iTunes but icons will not open when I click on them. This issue applies to my Windows 7 computers and iPad (3rd Gen) and iPhone 4s.
    I can't find any help/support with this issue.

    iBooks only open in the iBooks app on an iOS device. It is possible that your download was corrupt, in which delete and download again from your purchased history.

    firefox won't start at all

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The hotness suggests a hardware problem
