When i open firefox it keeps saying stopped. I have un-installed then re-installed about 10 times in the last 2 weeks

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

So, I got Adobe CC a year ago and I recently downloaded ABOBE CC 2014 at adobes SUGGESTION. When I open After effects it says I only have 4 (and counting ) days left to purchase…………I’m supposed to get it for FREE, right?. It doesn’t happen when I open illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014. Am I doing something wrong? If you’re not the one to contact please refer to the correct person……….the school uses AE CC 2014 so I NEED to have the correct version.

The events of the last month, with the photographs have suddenly disappeared from the iPhoto Library. I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Is it possible to retrieve ???

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My apple id keeps getting reset. I have had to change my password at least 6 times in the last two weeks and it has now reset again

You probably are mixing up your password with passwords from other accounts. If i were you i would write down your password somewhere easy to acess and make it very hard to guess if you ever reset it.

Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
Click Continue.
Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
Will iTunes open normally now?
If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

When I open Firefox it just says firefox on the upper left corner and apperas to be open on the dock but there are no windows anywhere.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day randomly for no reason whatsoever, I opened up firefox on my mac and it just said firefox on the upper left as if it was open. the little upside down triangle appeared below the icon on the dock, like it was open. However, there are no windows anywhere. I click file and new window and nothing.
I right click the firefox icon on the dock and it says that there windows for example, my home page, but there is NOTHING.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps doing the same thing.
Your website has NO SUPPORT whatsoever and it has taken me a half hour clicking around to get to this portion where I can write what the issue is and no one will ever probably see this so whats the point. I guess I'm stuck with fucking safari now.
Firefox had been working great up to this point, I literally opened it the other day and this happened just completely random.

Hello,
Sorry you are frustrated. If you have improvements you would like to make, you can file them to the [[Suggestion Box]] and the Firefox logo in the top left with upside down arrow is the Firefox button containing menu items. Try a clean reinstall as instructed below to see if it resolved your issue.
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!

Whenever I try opening Firefox, it keeps saying "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

Some weird stuff happened. Firefox and Google Chrome merged into one or something like that happened. I tried going on Firefox after that but it kept repeating that message. I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and Chrome is now fine, but for Firefox I uninstalled and reinstalled it about 2 times. After the 2nd time, it started working... for 5 minutes. Then the same stuff happened again.

This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: "%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\"
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" to recover an existing profile if there is still one present

Why do I get this message when I open firefox?We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window.

Every time I open firefox I get this message.It started 2 days ago after I cleared my recent history.I never had this problem before.What can I do?

Do you have that website open in other tabs?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

My bookmarks and history keep disappearing and the backup system isn't working (this has happened a half a dozen times in the last few weeks). Any ideas why?

I have manually recreated my list of bookmarks in Firefox several times now only to come back (days) later and find they have disappeared. Probably related (but less concerning) is the fact that the browsing history also seems to have been cleared.
My browser is set to remember my history and I haven't been using the private browsing option. The backup/restore option for the bookmarks doesn't seem to be functioning, either, because even when I select a day on which I know there were functioning bookmarks, "restoring" to that day does absolutely nothing.
The computer in question is my desktop at work, and I haven't been in the office much over the summer, so I didn't know what updates had been installed and when, so I was hopeful that updates were somehow responsible. However, the bookmarks I saved this past Friday were lost over the weekend, and according to the update history, no new updates were installed.
Before I left the office on Friday, I tried restarting the browser and the computer in an attempt to figure out what was triggering this deletion; neither of those two actions had any effect -- the history and bookmarks were all still in tact after the restarts.
Any thoughts?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

Please can you send me a fix for the error message that starts up when I open Firefox. It says " well this is embarrassing," and asks if I want to close the tab

Please can someone tell how to fix the problem I have with firefox on a mac OS. When firefox opens it comes up with an error message " well this is embarrassing...." and continues to ask if I want to close or restore the tabs that are open.
Does anyone have a simple fix?
Thank you
Beamer

Hello Beamer, you must update to latest (21.0) version, the bug it is fixed in firefox 21!

thank you

I open firefox it keeps saying"Firefox is already running,but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing Firefox process,or restart your system" i tried restart my computer...but it's still keep saying that..pls help me..

As I stated above, I have to constantly restart my computer because I get a message stating firefox is already running.

Do you see a firefox.exe in the Task manager if you look there right after you get this error message?
You do not have to restart the computer, just kill that process.
This situation may occur if Firefox was not closed correctly or crashed.

The icon moves on my toolbar and bookmarks and all are gone on that version. When I try to open Firefox from my email, it tells me I don't have the latest version, even though I've downloaded it about three times in the last two days. What's the deal?

First I notice your icon was gone so I figured I'd moved it by mistake. I put it back, but most of my bookmarks were gone. I then noticed I had two icons, one on right side one on left of my Mac. Tried to download new version. Didn't work, went to preview? Weird. Tried the version that's for Yahoo. That seemed to work, my bookmarks were back, but today it says that's an old version and I must update if I want to open something from Firefox from my email. So I did and once again I had two icons on page. It has done this a couple times. So I'm going in circles. I've done nothing new to my less than 3-year-old iMac and have never had this problem or anything remotely like it before.

Did you manage to get it working mine disappeared after I while I managed to download it but now my laptop/iTunes won't recognise my iPhone!

When I open firefox I get my hotmail sign in page and no toolbar so I can't browse the net. How do I get the toolbar back?

Without the toolbar I can't access any settings. I've tried everything I can find in the control panel but no luck.
BT just sent me an updated wireless modem yesterday and I had a lot of trouble making it work. I can only think I deleted some stuff I shouldn't have when I was messing about with it. I can access the internet via Internet Explorer and my hotmail works on firefox but only my mail account.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

When I open Firefox, 'Restore Session' comes up, but it's blank: none of my tabs are actually in the window, and 'restore session' isn't clickable in that window or under 'History'. This happens every time now, whether it's 80 tabs or 2. What's happened?

I'm on an HP laptop, using Firefox 7.0.1; the first time this happened I'd had to hard-shutdown and restart. I don't clear my history on closing or anything. No new plugins.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
