After an upgrade, I can longer open Firefox

A systematic upgrade offer came through this morning and I accepted and continued to work on my PC. Later, I couldn't open Firefox using Desktop or programs. I restarted my PC with the same results. I thought of uninstall and reinstall but that maybe someone might offer a quick fix.

One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.

    You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop

    You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.

  • I can longer open attached pdf files. I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.

    * Original title: attachments

    Help, please.

    I did something wrong (AGAIN!)

    I had no problem with access to attachments to my e-mails, but a problem occurred just.

    I can longer open attached pdf files.  I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.  When I click to open all the I get now is a kind of icon (in Microsoft Office Picture Manager) with which I can't do anything.

    It seems I should have arranged for Picture Manager automatically opens attachments to emails, but when this happens, I'm stuck as what I try, I can't do pdf files appear as they did.

    The help file does not really help.

    I hope it is something simple, even an old fool like me can do with your expert (and, I hope. friendly) help.

    My fingers are crossed.

  • After the upgrade to the latest version, Firefox won't open

    I am running Windows 7. After updating to the latest version, Firefox opens. I get a notice when I try to open Firefox, saying "failed to load XPCOM. Is there any way I can cancel the update, so I can get Firefox to open. This is my favorite browser... I'll have to use another browser to my question.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • I can longer open a new tab in firefox

    I can't open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t that nothing happens. I used to be able to open several tabs, but suddenly, that changed. Can you my why?

    Your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox) is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;" U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; (RV:1.9.2.15) gecko/20110303 AskTbBCPA/3.11.3.15590 Firefox/3.6.15.

  • I can't open Firefox. I am slot Win IE 8.1 opens immediately.

    It started yesterday, but now is serious. Help, please.

    Hi budcohen,

    Make sure that nobody plays a practical joke on you by changing which opens your shortcut. Right click on your shortcut of Firefox and check the "Target" line on the shortcut tab. It should read:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

    If you notice that the shortcut will be headed to another (for example ' iexplore.exe'), or delete the shortcut and make another change the target line to what I posted above. I'm not too familiar with Windows 8 interface, so if you create a new shortcut, it might be better if you take a peek at:

    If the above doesn't help you, you can download the latest Firefox on the official website of Mozilla here:

    When you uninstall Firefox from the control panel > programs and features, be sure not to delete personal information if you want to keep your bookmarks. After uninstalling, you must also remove the Firefox directory in Windows Explorer as well in order to remove any residual files issues the:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\

    The information in your profile (including your bookmarks) are stored in a separate location so will not be affected by this deletion. If you want to stay on the good side, you can save your profile by following these guides:

  • I can't open Firefox without restoring to an earlier version. I did a reset and updated, but whenever I close I have to restore a previous version

    When I try to open Firefox I get this message, the application could not start properly (0xc0000022). To open it, I have to do a restore to the previous version. A time to do an update and a reset, but neither helped. Once I close out I have to go the same way next time. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because I don't want to lose my favorites. Someone has an idea?

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
    trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
    update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version)
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of trusted or recognized programs, then add it again. For detailed instructions, see

  • Ive got a SabreMD report and I can't open firefox

    I can't open it even in safe mode

    You can open the Profile Manager?

    Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I can't open Firefox on my Satellite Pro A300

    Satellite Pro A300 - Windows XP - I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens. I use IExplorer without any problem, but I want to use Firefox as my preferred browser.

    Can anyone suggest a solution please?

    Hello

    > I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens.
    This means t t, you can launch the installation of Firefox or open Firefox as Internet Explorer?

    As writes Timox I think you should contact the Mozilla Firefox support. Who knows why the program doesn't start

    By the way, and what you can try:
    Download and install Firefox once again, it is perhaps only a corrupt file s and make sure that no firewall and AntiVirus is blocking the installation.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite Pro P300 - after Truesuite update I can't open protected files

    Hello
    Sorry for my bad English, but I came to Italy, and here we do not have any forum that can solve my problem.

    I have a Toshiba laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprints to log and protect certain files, simply out of curiosity, he seemed cool...: |
    The problem was born while I recently updated "truesuite access manager. Since I did the update I can not open protected files, I have not read that I have to remove the protection before the update (damn...), but these files are important to me and I have to reopen them.

    To solve the problem at all first I restore the system prior to the update to have the old version and open these files again, but my fingers are deleted and I can not create new prints because the pc said "could not open the sensor. I don't know what that means.
    I thought he needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite Manager to access, several times, I reinstalled the BIOS, I did the scan of the drive and the diagnosis of toshiba, but the sensor still does not work.

    I think that if I can record a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will be protected able to open files again (and I will no longer protect them) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I do not know how to enable the fingerprint sensor. Could someone help me, please?
    Thank you very much!

    The update of Truesuite comes WindowsUpdate? Or did you download the update from the Web from Toshiba site?

    You can use your backup password (usually its your Windows password) to access the files?
