When I click on the Firefox icon to open it, nothing happens.

This problem appeared, seemingly out of the blue. Since then, I've downloaded the newest version, and restarted my computer. The problem persists. I'm wondering if Apple is blocking it, so that I have to use Safari, where all of their advertising is.

Hello Floyd.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache. Be sure to turn on Hidden files & folders in your Windows Explorer.

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences.

If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

When I click on the Firefox icon to open it, it does not open and comes up with the crash reporter. This happens every time I open or restart friefox. what should I do?

Firefox keeps crashing. I can't get it to open to do any of the troubleshooting steps. I have run Malware and there are no viruses. I have re-installed the latest version and still occurs.

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.

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

When i click on the firefox icon it doesnt open the firefox browser page

when i click on the firefox icon to open it no page loads

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

I need help: I've a macbook pro with Mavericks....when I click on the Firefox icon on the fox, it just jumps and then eventually invokes slowly. What can I do?

basically, when I boot up the mac, I click on the firefox icon...it just jumps and sometimes it executes. I probably would have to wait a bit for trying to get into the browser successfully. Anything I can do? Thanks

Hi,
This article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time-start-up] suggests that you
#Change your homepage
#Check to make sure your extensions are up to date
# Check to make sure that your antivirus allows Firefox
#Check to make sure that you have the preference "Do not load tabs until selected"
However, I would recommend that you close other programs and clear the cache of the profile to increase the load time. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] A quicker way to do this if you do not have any immediate data to save is to Reset Firefox. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

When I click on the FireFox icon I want it to be my main browser, not something else like Inbox!

I click on the FireFox icon and Inbox comes up as my search/browser. I want FireFox. How do I fix this?

It should be listed as an extension, so you can uninstall it using the add-ons manager. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
This help page from Inbox also shows how to uninstall it - http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#2

When I click on the firefox icon, "about home" or "about blank" appears in the address bar.

about blank or about home is appearing in my address bar. How can I get it to read mozilla?

Yes, it's normal behavior, but there is any add-on or any possibility that address bar would be empty when you click on home page button?
It would be more comfortable if you didn't have to clear address bar.
Thanks for help.
