When I click on the firefox icon, I get the message "FAiled to read the configuration file. Please contract your system administrator."

I was using my laptop on a hotel wireless the past couple of days. I returned home and put it back on the docking station. However, I do remember getting this same error message while I was on the hotel wireless. Since IE worked, I didn't worry about it, thinking it had something to do with the hotel wireless. However, now I'm home and it still won't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a couple of times - still the same error message. I don't have a "system administrator" to contact - that would be me!

Are you using a file mozilla.cfg to lock or initialize prefs?

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

    Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you <b>reboot</b> computer before reinstall?
    Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
    Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
    Have you tried creating a <u>new, <b>completely</b> clean profile</u> - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
    Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location?

    I spent at least half an hour googling the error message today, perhaps more.
    Thanks for the link. I hadn't found that one.
    I followed the instructions and connected my iphone to iTunes for a sync. I even turned off my phone completely and started again.
    But I get the same error messages.
    What's your next suggestion? You seem a very helpful fellow.

  • IProcurement is not a valid responsibility for the current user. Please contact your System Administrator.

    Hi All,
    When I am trying to click on the 'iprocurement Home page' menu in the iprocurement responsibility getting the below error message in R12;
    "iProcurement is not a valid responsibility for the current user. Please contact your System Administrator."
    Can any one let me know how to resolve this?
    Regards
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph,
    I am assuming that the user actually has the iProcurement responsibility assigned to them. If so, try the following solution from note 1560400.1:
    1) Logon with System Administrator responsibility
    2) Navigate to Profile > System, click on User and enter the user name
    3) Search for profile 'Applications Start Page'. Delete the value set at user level and save
    4) Retry
    Regards,
    Cheryl

  • Desinger Workflow 2010: Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator?

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem from last some days..
    When I am trying to open/create/update workflows from Designer 2010, then designer giving me an error "Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator".
    I researched on internet for this error and found some possible reason like
    Login user Permission issue
    Error in custom actions
    So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
    also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.
    Can anybody please help me?
    Many thanks,

    Third, try to restart your IIS and share the results.

  • I suddenly started getting redirected when I click on my Firefox icon. Page says "Paypal and Firefox Simple promotion!" Paypal says it isn't theirs. I can't seem to get past this. I am afraid this a Trojan redirect or keystroke copier.

    I'm not sure how or when it happened but whenever I click on any Firefox icon on my desktop, I get redirected to what appears to be a Mozilla Firefox page but there is a window on the screen that says "Paypal and Firefox Simple promotion!, Did you know that Mozilla Firefox is the most safe browser? Paypal trusts Firefox! Login to your paypal account using Firefox today and get 25$ promotion on your balance by next month!
    * This promotion valid only for VERIFIED account holders

    then a button to click that says "contnue with xxx.xxxxxx.com"

  • In the past two weeks every time I select the Firefox icon I get a message: "Foreforx is in Offline mode". I click on "try again" and it always comes up. How do I avoid this message and go directly to online status?

    Prior to a couple weeks ago when I clicked on the Fire Fox icon on my MacBook air it went directly to the Fire fox home page. Now when my computer has been off and I choose the Fire Fox icon, I get a message that Fire Fox is in "offline" mode. I then click the box "try again" it always comes up as usual. What can I do to get away from that "offline" message? I do not have the same problem with my desktop iMac.

  • How do I re-enable open or save setting when I click on the download file?

    My initial Firefox download setting was this: When I click on the link I would like to download, it asks me whether I want to '''open the file or save''' the file. Underneath, there was a check box to click on, in case you do not want the dialogue box to come up again. I clicked on the check box once, because I had to do a repeated download of a number of pictures. I would like to get back on 'asking open or save' dialogue box. I cannot find how to re-enable this function. Please help!

    By the way, a few other things you probably know:
    (1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
    Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
    (2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
    The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
    However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
    (1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
    Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    (2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any improvement?

  • When i click on the domain file in a folder, iweb 08 opens?

    I have iweb 08 installed in a separate folder . I have iweb 09 in the applications folder.
    When I open iweb 09 it is pulling my files from the domain. But when I go to that same location and double click on the domain file (i have 3 saved on the computer right now as part of tests, in different places), iweb 08 tries to launch and I get an error message that the file can't be opened.
    Why wouldn't 09 launch?
    When I go to "get info" on the domain, I see that it says to open with web 2.0. When I change it to web 3.0, for that file or for "change all," it keeps reverting back to 2.0. It won't accept the 3.0.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.
