Why is mozilla firefox not opening after updating?

I updated mozilla firefox and rebooted my computer. Now when I click on mozilla firefox it does not open. An error message doesn't even pop up. I have full internet connection.

On which computer platform (Operating System) do you have that problem?

This seems to be most common with lower resolution pictures. You can go into settings > general > accessibility and turn reduce motion motion off and then try to rescale. Or user a higher resolution picture, which works better with the new OS.

Why will not Mozilla-Firefox not open in the version 3.5.16? The schoolonly supports version 3.0

My question is why does Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.1.6 not work when it always had in the past since 2009 approximately.
The only thing different is that I did purchase Norton 2011 then upgraded to Norton 2012 Anti-Virus Protection Suite.
The School I go to will only support Version 3.0 Firefox. I have installed the version 7.0 from your sight by clicking download. I used the older version 3.5.1.6 on my laptop as well with no problems but now it won't work and they both crash. I have clicked on send reports but no answers yet. The laptop as well as my desktop had viruses from a server that I used which I found out had two computers which weren't virus protected with current updated signatures. This was McAfee "Total Protection Suite" which did not give me any protection at all and this is what happened, and it should have at least blocked me from getting onto the Internet through the server. I only used this server as a gateway only. I never had this problem with AVG Protection Anti-Virus Suite, but then I changed to McAfee, which the server uses, and this is when all my problems started because two computers on this network were not protect with updated virus signatures. The viruses crashed my Laptop and almost my desktop as well. I ran Norton and this took care of the problem on my desktop and then I ran Malwarebytes and Hitman both Virus Scanners and removed all 53 viruses, PUPS, and other Malware.
I reinstalled both of the Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.2.6 and I got the message that said sorry the browser crashed and click OK to send a report to Firefox which I did. I can't start school without Mozilla Firefox as the School only supports Firefox 3.0. As I had corrupted files from the problems with all the Malware and I have resolved most of the issues now except that I will have to upgrade to Windows 7 "Home Premium" and I am working with Dell Tech. Support with this and trying to complete as much as possible before I call them back.
Will I be able to use the older version and is Norton 2012 the program causing the older versions not to work?

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version, that comes with its own profile, to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.
*http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable#legacy
*http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
You probably need to create a new profile because the SQLite version used in Firefox 3.5 is not compatible the the SQLite version that is used by current Firefox versions.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
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.

AS does not open after update

Cannot get adobe story to open after update (indeed there was difficulty before as well; it got worse after update). This applies to both offline and online. Even after a restart. All I get is a big, blank, black page, with no projects on it, not even the sample project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, Ali.
I'm working on MacBookPro Intel with Snow Leopard, 10.6.5 using Firefox as
the browser. I have Chrome and Safari, but haven't tried them.
I updated Flash. I find AIR installer and uninstaller in
Applications>Utilities, but I can't find the AIR app anywhere. (So how was I
able to go online with AS in first place?) When I try to unintall AIR (with
the idea of reinstalling) it says that Adobe Story will no longer work
(should I proceed anyway?)
I've cleared the cache in Firefox, restarted AS, but the clearance had no
effect. Still get a blank, black page.
Thanks for trying to figure this out. Any other suggestions?

HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.

Firefox not starting after update to 3.6.11 from 3.6.10 on vista platform. XUL error report. Uninstall including removing mozilla items in regedit or system restore does not resolve issue. XUL error still reappears after reinstall ? in English

Problem exists on my HP C0mpaq 6720s , Vista operating system.
System restore, restored to version 3.6.3 instead of 3.6.10 . This did not start either. Previously, I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove all Mozilla items, checked regedit and removed all Mozilla folders, then reinstalled 3.6.11 from your website. Mozilla would not start and XUL error stated 1.9.2.10 followed by min 1.9.2.11 and max 1.9.2.11 . This was the same error report that appeared after the automatic update.
So I am at a loss and without Mozilla .

I have successfully resolved this issue on my PC by allowing updater.exe through the firewall. This updater.exe is located in the folder where your Mozilla Firefox was installed. The default folder is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updater.exe"
Happy Browsing.....

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Firefox wont open after update

about 2 weeks ago i updated thunderbird and after that it would not open. i just updated firefox...it had been crashing multiple times a day...and was hoping the update would help...foolish me. now neither f-fox or t-bird will open and im stuck using IE....i asked on the t-bird site and the only response was that my security software might be blocking...i attempted to load tbird with security shut down...no help....
any advice would be 'preciated
jeff

I solved the problem. This happened just after an automatic Firefox update. When I clicked on the Firefox icon, nothing happened. Turned out that Firefox was "running". I downloaded a new version of Firefox and was in the process of installing it, when the installer said "You must shut down Firefox before proceeding". I typed CTRL+ALT+DEL to get the Task Manager. Firfox was not listed in Applications, but firefox.exe was listed in Processes. I selected it and clicked End Process, and then Firefox would start. I never completed installing the newly downloaded version.

Why will my firefox not open all the time on my windows xp pro and gives me an error message instead?

I some times get this message "The instructions at "ox879ab0e3 referenced memory at "ox879ab0e3" . The memory could not be "read". Check ok to terminate the program.
And sometimes the session will simply not update since the firefox has shutdown but the then present sites are open but won't update.
If shut down my computer and restart, I have better than an 80% chance that fire fox will not open---probably less than 29% chance that it will open. I have to just repeat the shut down over and over until fire fox will open.

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.

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open. It opens for a second and then closes.
This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine. My question is does anyone know why this might happen. Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
i created the app with version 1.0.0
uploaded it to my server on the net.
hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed
then changed the version number to 1.0.1
uploaded this apk
downloaded and installed to phone
app would then open for sec then close
only fixable by clearing application cache.
I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.
has no one else encountered this?
please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.

Mozilla products not working after update

Hello,
after update (about 4 weeks ago) irefox and Thunderbird didn't want to start. I tried reinstalling but it didn't help. When I run it, there is no error in the console and the processes have started, but no windows appears. I'm on 64bit Arch. Anybody knows how to solve this?
Thanks for reply.

delete your .mozilla profile and then try again. Note that this will lose all your settings etc in Firefox and Thunderbird though

Firefox not starting after updating from v24 to v32 on centos 6.5

I have updated my firefox from version 24 to version 32 recently released for Centos 6.5 in the official packs, but after updating now firefox is not at all starting.
Even the first screen where it checks for add-ons dependency is also not coming up, what I can see is just firefox starts and crashes within seconds without showing any screen.

I have successfully resolved this issue on my PC by allowing updater.exe through the firewall. This updater.exe is located in the folder where your Mozilla Firefox was installed. The default folder is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updater.exe"

Safari will not open after update

After I updated to Safari 4, the program will not open!
I get a message that tells me that OS X 10.5.8 is not compatible with this new version.
I have read other posts with similar questions, and tried to see if I could find a crash report that could tell me some more about this problem - but the latest crash report is a month old, and I did the update a few days ago.
Does anybody know what to do?

Go to your Hard drive icon (upper right corner)
OPen it and go to the Applications folder.
Open that, and go down to Utilities.
Double click the Disk Utility folder.
In the resulting window, select your HD icon on the left hand upper side.
Then click on "Repair Permissions."
It might take a little while if you've never done it.
If it says "Repair Permissions Complete"at the end, you're good to go.

ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
Thanks.

Hi Cchoe,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

Word documents located in a sparse bundle will not open after update to Lion

I have several files of Word documents created by Office for Mac 2008. These files are located in two different sparse bundles for security. One sparse bundle is the original. The second sparse bundle is a larger maximum size that I copied the original Word documents into. My plan was to delete the original after I confirmed that the second larger one worked. After updating to Lion, I also uninstalled Office for Mac 2008, and installed Office for Mac 2011. Now when I try to open these Word documents, I get a message saying that Word cannot not open these documents because they may be in use or may have unacceptable symbols in the file name. If I control click on the documents, I can see the document in Preview but still cannot open in Word. In addition, I am able to open Word documents that are on my desktop. I tried moving my folders out of the sparse bundles by copying them to the desktop but this did not work either.
Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
