Will not load and function. Does having other browsers installed prohibit Firefox from working? i.e. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Opera?

I downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. It locks up before it can load any Web site. I removed Firefox for similar reasons once before but now trying to reinstall. I have Windows 7 64 bit system with I.E., Google Chrome, and Opera installed. Why does Firefox fail to function?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • IQ512sc doesn�t work in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and some parts in Safari.

    Hello.
    Our Toucshsmart IQ512 has stopped working in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Cannot get the writing-fields active. Some functions are also missing in Safari.
    Do you have a solution? I will really keep the PC, it is perfect in the kitchen.

    Hello LarM:
    I sent you an email. HP would not like it if I posted here.They would only remove it from here. That's what they do best. You try to help others out. They do not like your advise or agree to it they remove it because it makes HP Technical Support look bad. I would add more but it would be removed. That's why I stop posting here. frrw.

  • Updated Adobe Flashplayer & Firefox (ver 6.0.1) will not load any web pages although other browsers work fine.

    Tried restarting computer & starting Firefox in safe mode, neither has worked.

    Thanks, but tried all that before I posted, Settings were not changed. Has to have something to do with the update to the Adobe Flashplayer. I was using it to download the Flashplayer and as soon as I did, that was it!

  • My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

    My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and geong straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?

    Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and going straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • After reinstalling FFox and Adobe Flash Player, why will a certain company webpage will not load, but it does in IE.

    For some reason a certain corporate company web site will not load on my desktop PC. The page is gray and white with some headings and a circle in the middle that goes round and round. I previously (some months ago) was able to access the site (and have for years). I am running Windows 7. I have cleared my cache, reinstalled FireFox, reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (even tried downgrading to Flash version 10). If I use IE, the site page loads with all of the graphics, etc. just fine, I have all of the same FF features on my laptop. The site opens up fine on my laptop. What's next?

    Is there content loaded on that page via JavaScript or a plugin like Flash?
    If the Flash plugin is active the you should get the Flash context menu if you right-click that area.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • The firefox page constantly says "Connecting" and will not load any websites. I've also updated the firefox software via internet explorer with the same reslults can you help?

    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Firefox will not connect to the web, 3 other browsers on the same netbook will.

    I have just been given an Acer Aspire one netbook computer. It came with Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I installed Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari as I wanted to compare them. Firefox, as with my other Windows systems, is my default browser. Initially I had no problems but then it refused to connect to any websites. The other browsers continued to, and still, work as expected. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled it. It still does not connect.
    This message if coming from my Windows Vista system.

    Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
    Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.
    I resorted to "REGEDIT" and removed everything in my registry that regedit would allow that had the name of "zonealarm" on it. Didn't even have to reboot my system, firefox worked first thing. Everything else is fine also.
    [note: this is not a slam against Lavasoft's ZoneAlarm firewall. It is just that UNINSTALL programs do not always do a thorough job of removing parts of programs in your systems and registry cleaner programs do not pick them up either.]
    USE CARE, "REGEDIT" IS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS TOOL TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT A SOMEWHAT ADVANCED USER. USE CARE WITH "REGEDIT!"
    Good luck.

  • Firefox will not load up when i click the icon on my desktop, but still the same problem, i have checked and its loaded in the task manager and just wont load up, any help on this matter is strongly welcomed thank you mark

    as said nothing happens, i click the icon and nothing loads up. i have used 3 anti virus and spyware malware etc etc for 3 days i have been trying this, please note this install of windows 7 is fresh 5-6 days old. firefox was working fine then one day i tryed it and nothing.

    Hi,
    a) I don't have DMG either in applications but I have '''Document''' instead.
    So '''set "Document" to Always Ask '''going to Firefox>Preferences>Applications
    Now it will always ask if you want to Open or Save the file.
    b) If already downloaded, check what's under Get Info > Open with
    It should say Open With DiskImageMounter (see pic)
    https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-07-24-03-56-33-60e1a9.png
    If not, select it. It's in Home>System>Library>CoreServices.
    See if it helps.

  • Firefox is set as my default browser but will not open. I can access other browsers

    Firefox crashed while I was browsing. I re-started the LT and now Firefox will not start. I have tried re-starting from the desktop, the tool bar and the start menu.I can use other browsers which are not my default browser eg Googlechrome. This is not the first time Firefox has crashed but is the first time it would not re-start. I have looked through the Firefox support page but potential solutions require Firefox to be open to access the Firefox toolbar.
    NB. I am an IT dummy (seriously) ie I have no idea what a plug-in is so the simpler the better when explaining what I am doing wrong. Thanks

  • Firefox can not load Gmail after longon. Other browsers, no problems

    Hi:
    When I click on Firefox icon, it takes a while to come up. Even after that, when I click on Gmail and log on, it keeps loading and loading and loading. It does not open the mail promptly. With Windows Internet Explorer, everything goes very fast. Why I should use Firefox at all? what and where is the problem?
    Thanks.

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network
