After an automatic update, Firefox does not load... app is unresponsive. Can't access preferences FF to clear the cache, so I poured out all copies and re-installed. Same problemn. How can I get FF up and running again?

I use a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8. All software is updated, no problem using Safari to access sites... all charge.

Try to delete /Users/ < account name > / Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist.
Alternatively, you can delete the cache just in case.

/Users/ < account name > /Library/Caches/org.mozilla.firefox

  • Firefox does not load with a certain wifi

    So I have this problem, Firefox does not load when I connect with a wifi but when I change my connection to different wifi, that's going to walk again.
    even if the first wifi works fine on my computer because I can connect to the internet with another browser.

    Many programs can "phone home" for the updates and such.
    These work yet?

    Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.

    Under Advanced, select network.
    Search for configure how Firefox connects and then press the settings button.
    If you use a proxy server, make sure that these settings are correct. If there is no
    proxy, first use No. Proxy. If there is a problem, then try Proxy system.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).

  • Firefox does not load.

    Firefox does not load. I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security and everything was working fine until it wasn't. I then uninstalled Kaspersky, but Firefox still load.

    Since I love Firefox I restored my computer to an earlier state and that fixed everything, then I installed another Kaspersky product and everything was perfect. Now the problem is back.

    I don't know if the problem is on the side of Kaspersky or Firefox, but I would prefer not to restore again and I have no more troubleshooting ideas.

    Firefox starts in safe mode of Windows.
    When I double click on the Firefox icon the mouse indicates the load of the FF, but then, it does not start. Chrome starts very well.
    Contacted Kaspersky, but their first troubleshooting tip didn't work.
    Under Event Viewer, I can see the details of the accident for Firefox, but I can't read and I do not know if they are related to the FF does not.

    I'm agree with unintelligible Firefox and then put it back, but I don't want to lose my bookmarks, modules, themes, etc.

    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    You can start Firefox in its own Mode safe? Hold SHIFT and start Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode. You could at least make backups of Mode without failure. I heard wrong with anti-banner Kaspersky features, if you can try to disable browser protection components in Kaspersky to see if he can coexist with Firefox on your system or not.

    If you need to back up things without starting Firefox, go to your profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windowsand copy. It must contain everything down to your history of bookmark backups and extension settings.

  • 26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

    26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it load the previous session, regardless of what has been entered in 'Options '. The browser runs in Win 7.0 64 bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides security features. There are some solutions 'cloud', also running as Google Drive, box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves in the same way in all my machines (installation and the OS is similar to that described above) and no amount of reset 'Options' seems to affect it. Nor is it affected by the way that Firefox is closed. This is obviously a bug that should be fixed.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    Sorry, it took me a few days to get back to you. Busy week!

    Hmmm... uninstall programs Adobe does not is not something I've encountered. It is possible to run the Creative Cloud to solve installation problems cleaning tool could help, but it can be also quite simply time for individualized technical troubleshooting so you don't waste hours of work more. To this end, I recommend you Contact customer via chat. Make sure that you are connected with the identifier Adobe associated with your subscription to the CC.
