Why have I suddenly got a lock on the icon, and not able to open Firefox?

Logged on today and found a lock symbol on the Firefox icon. I cannot open the programme unless I do it out of the sandbox. Why is this? My system is Windows XP pro.

For some reason my Avast malware killer had put Firefox in its sandbox. Sorted. thanks for the help.

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then download/install new app.

    Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

    Availability is determined/controlled by the Copyright owner... not Apple.

  • Why do some apps hover under the top and not able to click'

    This has been happening since I got my iphone 3gs back in January.   My photos and facebook and other apps, at least 3 times a week, Im unable to click anything becuz they "hover" under the bar at the top.   When its like this, I cant actually click anything, when its my photo albums doing it...it shows the albums but theyre all UNDER the top and cannot be clicked.   How can I fix this?   Ive talked with an apple associate in store and they said just reboot my phone when this happens...but its happening more often now and with more apps.  They STILL say reboot but I shouldnt have to reboot any cell phone daily.   HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

    PS-  I know this photo doesnt look bad, but it is bad when you cant click anything....it happens to my albums all the time

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:

    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad

  • HT1386 I have formated my computer many times without deauthrization of itunes and used deauthrize all pcs once in this year. Now how to deauthrize my computer because i have used all my 5 authrizatons on same computer and not able to authrize my new pc

    I have formated my pc many times without deauthrizing itunes. I have already used deauthrize all computers once a year. Now again i used all authrizations on the same pc due to fomating of the pc 5 times. Now how to deauthrize a formated pc.

    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • Why does my mobile site only display in the iPhone and not the Samsung Galaxy?

    Hi,
    I created a mobile version of my Muse site. After publishing it to the temporary Catalyst site, I went to view it on my Samsung Galaxy Victory; it displayed properly the first couple of times I viewed it. Then I made some changes and re-published it and I can only see the desktop version on my phone. I tested it on my co-worker's iPhone and the mobile site displayed correctly on her phone.
    Any insight??
    Thanks,
    Myriam
