Why do ALL my bookmarks open when I double click the Safari Icon!?!?

Have I caused this or is it malfunctioning? And then I usually have to force close it because Option+X on the tab is not working for such a situation most of the time.

I still have not found a solution for this...

I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

Why does Firefox no longer launch when I double-click the icon?

I found an article on the support site that suggested creating a new profile, but the run command did not launch profile manager. I tried uninstall/reinstall, but it does not change behavior. When I click the icon, I get the hourglass for a moment, and then nothing. I'm on WinXP. On 10-14-11, I thought I saw a pop-up menu saying Firefox was updating (I did not initiate it, nor was I presented with a confirm pop-up), but it was very brief, so I'm not sure. After that day, Firefox would no longer launch. I've not made any system changes, or installed any programs.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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.

Firefox doesn't open when I double-click the icon. I already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

Initially, both internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox wouldn't open. After 3 months of not using my laptop, I decided to try to troubleshoot the problem. Miraculously, I could open IE today without having to do anything. But I was still having trouble with firefox. So I killed it in the task manager, and then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The loading icon would appear, but the window wouldn't open. So I tried opening it in safe mode. It worked, but like for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds of having it in safe mode, the window would freeze, I wouldn't be able to click anything in the window, and the top of the bar said "not responding". I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

Itunes just won't open.No error message or anything,it just simply won't open when i double click the icon.Plz help!

As the title says
Thanks in advance!!

Its alright I forget some details when I post a question too, anyways.... sounds like some file has got corrupt or theres a PC glitch.
As with many post covering simliar issues about iTunes not opening, first try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it.
Also make sure your anitvirus is turned off or disabled when uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes and qicktime. Follow ALL the steps at the link below

When I double-click the desktop icon I get an error message: XUL RUNNER error: Platform version '2.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0 maxVersion =5.0. I must right click the icon and choose 'RUN OUTSIDE THE SANDBOX' to open the browser.

This problem occurred shortly after updating to Firefox 5.0 I kept getting reminders to update to 5.0 When I finally decided to update, the first 4 or 5 attempts failed for one reason or another always with a different error message At some point after and extended shutdown of the computer 5.0 was initiated.

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

ITunes doesn't open when I double-click the icon.

I have Thunderbird 24.5.0. When I double click the desktop item to open it up, it opens immediately, but when I'm in the main page with all the folders on the left & the corresponding email details on the right of that same page, it seems to have problems. Before, when I would highlight a certain box / folder (whether it would b “inbox”, “sent” folder, “trash” folder, or whatever, it takes a good 5 min (minimum) to open that certain folder so I can see the emails of that folder.
Can u help me determine what is causing this? Just 3 days ago, it was fine.
Thank you

What is your anti-virus software?

When I double-click the gold star to bookmark a site and click "Choose", none of my current folders appear in the drop-down under Bookmarks Menu.

Running 3.6.12 on Windows XP in my brand-new HP 6000 Pro, and when I double-click the gold star to bookmark a site, 5 of my 80-odd folders appear in the drop-down under Bookmarks Menu. But then, when I click "Choose", no list of current bookmarks appears, so I have to bookmark every time under "Unsorted", then drag each bookmark to its correct folder. What am I doing wrong? I use Firefox on my other 2 systems, and every folder appears on the drop-down, just like it should.

I don't use Xmarks, so I don't know whether that is a factor here...
If you use Ctrl+d on a bookmarked page, does the Edit Bookmark dialog appear?
Firefox doesn't have a convenient way to determine the location of a bookmark. One workaround is to use the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/ Show Parent Folder] to add a column in the Library dialog showing the location of a bookmark. Then when you use the search function or Recently Bookmarked query, you should be able to discover the location.
The extension shows just the folder name by default. If that isn't unique enough, you can change a setting for the extension so it shows the full path down to that folder. To set this, open the Add-ons page, Extensions category, and use the Options button for Show Parent Folder.

Optional Install.mpkg can't open when I double-click to attempt SL install

The Optional Install.mpkg "can't open" when I double-click to attempt SL installation.

then something is wrong with your system and not the DVd as may have been suspected. you can always install the optional packages by booting directly from the DVd as i said but you should figure out why it does not work normally. make a new user account and log into it. can you do it from there?

After I updated to yosemite my iMovie will not open. I have found the folders in the applications for both versions 9 and 10 but neither one opens when I double click on the icon. How do I remedy this?

After I updated to yosemite my iMovie will not open. I have found the folders in the applications folder for both versions 9 and 10 but neither one opens when I double click on the icon. How do I remedy this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Know why Premiere Elements 3.0 won't start when I double click the icon?

I have Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Premiere Elements 3.0 and the 3.0.2 patch. When I double click the icon, it won't load. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't load. It worked as recently as last week. I had some virus issues so I took my laptop to Geek squad and they "fixed" the issues.
I never had this problem with Premiere before. Anybody know what might be causing it not to start?
I have been considering an upgrade. I see that they are up to version 9. Will version 9 even work on Vista?

It depends.
What do you mean by "I never had this problem before"? Do you mean Premiere Elements worked fine until the Geek squad restored your computer?
Unless they totally wiped your hard drive and reinstalled your operating system, they may have patched but not totally fixed your problem.
Or it could be that your computer just needs a good cleaning and defragging. Assuming you've got adequate power and a good 30-50 gigabytes of free defragmented space on your C drive.
But there's a very good chance that, if you've re-installed version 3 and it still won't run, then version 9 won't run either. After all, if you still haven't remedied yoru core problem, a new vehicle isn't likely to make any difference, right?
Still, there's no harm in trying. Why not download free trial and see?
