Won't open any browser windows

I just installed firefox version 6.0.2
My system:
Mac os X version 10.6.8
I have an imac model 7.1 with an intel core 2 duo processor
When I start up the browser the browsing window does not open. It also does not open when I try to open it using the menu.
The only window I've been able to open has been the "About Firefox" window.
I was able to open it in "Safe Mode". I tried disabling all add-ins and plugins but that didn't work.

You can try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled to see if that fixes the problem. If it does,, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Are your plugins updated?

    After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks.  I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link.  I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • PDF won't open in browser window - think it's Adobe, not FF

    Hello!  I have Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 20.0.1 and Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, both with the same problem.  I have Adobe Reader 11.0.2.  Earlier today I was able to open PDFs in the browser tab, this evening not so much.  I am not sure what changed - to my knowledge I didn't get anything updated today.  I have checked all my settings and can't figure out what's wrong.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  The only thing I couldn't find after extensive Googling of the issue is that my Adobe Reader lacks the button that is referenced in a lot of posts for "display PDF in browser" is missing.  I've included a screenshot.
    In addition, in Firefox there used to be an option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", but now there's just "Use Adobe Reader (default)" or other pdf readers (and I *hate* Firefox's pdf reader).  I haven't gone too deep into IE's options since I don't use it hardly at all.
    Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Linda

    You may have used the 32-bit IE edition previously.
    On Windows 7, if opened from the Task Bar, it will open 32-bit.  From the Start Menu it will open 64-bit.
    Open Help | About Internet Explorer to see if you are using the 32-bit or 64-bit edition.

  • RoboHelp HTML - Trying to open any browse or explorer window causes a freeze

    Hi,
    I am using RoboHelp 9 HTML. Trying to open any Browsing window in the project, like the browse button in Insert Image or even a project, not through Recent, causes the application to freeze.
    I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no luck.
    Please any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Or maybe the dialog boxes have somehow moved off the screen. Usually this happens when switching between single/multi monitors, e.g. when working on a laptop on the train vs tethered to a larger monitor at work/home. Even if you haven't worked with multiple monitors, it's possible something weird could have caused this to happen.
    Anyway, try the following:
    1. Open a problem window. Make sure you don't click anywhere after doing this.
    2. Press Alt Spacebar M.
    3. Press any arrow key.
    4. Waggle the mouse madly until the dialog box appears.
    5. Click to place it where you want.
    Hopefully this is the problem and fixing one window should fix all of the "file open" type dialog boxes.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

  • IPhoto won't open any windows...

    I recently upgraded my Early 2008 MBPro to Lion. When I launch iPhoto, it doesn't open my library. In fact, it won't open any window but the preferences. I've reinstalled iPhoto with absolutely no luck.
    My library package is still there, and accessible from the finder. How can I get iPhoto working again? Is there a way to manually reconnect the library to it?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

    Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
    Here is the link:
    http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your missing a value on the HREF.  In your code you have this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    and it should be this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

  • XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

    Hi,
    I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
    I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
    Your help would be welcome.
    Regards.
    Alain.

    Hi,
    I am going to reply to my own question.
    The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
    Too simple I guess!!!!

  • Can't paste into Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 after opening any browser on Windows 7 system...

    I couldn't paste anything in Design or Code view after updating to Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 this week on my Windows 7 system. I discovered that if I rebooted my computer and opened Dreamweaver without opening any browsers (have tried Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, and Opera), then I could paste in both Design and Code views. After I opened ANY browser, however, I could no longer paste in Dreamweaver and couldn't paste in Dreamweaver again unless I rebooted and didn't open any browsers. At first I thought it was a problem with Chrome (a common culprit) and uninstalled all of my extensions, but Chrome clearly was not the culprit this time. All five of my browsers (with tedious system reboots in-between) triggered the same inability to paste into Dreamweaver. I had not installed the update on my Windows 7 laptop yet, and I found that that still was working just fine, so I uninstalled the 2014.1 update from my desktop system and reinstalled the previous version. That eliminated the problem, but I'd sure like to be able to keep my Adobe software updated without experiencing these deal-breaking issues.

    Thanks, Preran. After uninstalling the 2014.1 update and reinstalling the previous version, I now installed the 2014.1 update again. Instead of jumping straight into restoring the preferences, I decided to test it out as-is, and it worked! No problems with pasting after opening any of my five browsers. I wonder what may have gone wrong the first time...or what was corrected during the uninstall/reinstall process. In any case, it is working again now and I am grateful. Thanks!

  • Error message after update "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be

    My daughter just did an update and got the following error message: "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.
    Any thoughts or tips as to what happened?

    Just a few pieces of clarifying information... This is Safari on OS X you're talking about, right? Also, what update did your daughter install? Have you tried reinstalling Safari (you can download it from Apple's site)?

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

    I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do.  I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
    I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files.  Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
    I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
    Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error.  Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
    1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible).  I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
    2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
    3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
    4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
    5) Re-install Photoshop
    After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file.  I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue.  It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator).  But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution.  Hope this helps!

  • Opening a browser window

    My issue is as follows:
    Our application consists of images and forms. We display the image in an image viewer, on left half of the screen and the form on the right half.
    When we display the image in a browser using web.show_document the image gets displayed fine but the focus remains on the newly opened browser window. The user has to click into the form to start entering information from the image into the form, losing valuable time in a high volume processing environment.
    Is there a way other than using web.show_document (foreign functions/Java/any other technology) that will allow me to open a browser window from the form and then send the control back to the form?
    Thanks
