  Usually when you stop and restart Windows, Firefox is not running and can be started normally.

  Firefox is set to start automatically with Windows? Microsoft has a utility to investigate what is set to happen at startup: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  It is possible that something is triggering a process in your default browser and it is the hanging of Firefox. You can try to change your default browser to IE (IE can offer to do when you start) before the shutdown and restart Windows to see if it makes a difference.

• I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart

  I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart it.

  I use windows xp on my host computer and all computers in my client. After that I uninstalled the free trial NIS version and restart my host, I lost the internet connection. Tried to restore with the restoration of the system, but when I restarted it, it said the system restore could not be made.

  Hello

  This can happen if the uninstall process fails and leaves behind a Symantec registry value. See the following Symantec article.

  Unable to connect to the Internet after uninstalling Norton AntiVirus.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  You are able to start Firefox in Safe Mode or start the Profile Manager?

  (1) safe Mode

  It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. (If you get directly in a new window, you must exit all Firefox Windows first).

  A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  It will start?

  (2) the Profile Manager

  This assumes that firefox.exe is not running.

  Start in Manager profiles using Start > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  When you get the Profile Manager window, do not delete anything!

  No matter what time you want to switch profiles, you exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  If you select your default profile and click Start, Firefox start?

• How can I prevent the error "Firefox is already running" message while trying to open the links and FF has already been opened by a symbolic link?

  I use symbolic links and shortcuts of programs as a way to easily open different Firefox profiles IE. one for casual/personal use and the other for work. It works well, but I get the error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" if I try to open external links with FF as my default browser. FF is actually open and works very well, but I guess that it does not recognize this fact due to how I started the beginning of the process.

  I could not add executables symbolically related to the component of default program. Is there a way to get around this error or another way to solve this problem?

  The solution to the question below, it's what I use to open the different profiles of FF.

• Firefox is already running?

  After following the instructions to stop firefox in the Task Manager (he was not also running), I tried to find my profile. I followed the instructions by going to the Start button and entering % APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\, but could not find a profile file. I have closed several times but still the same error message, so it is currently impossible to use firefox.
  Help please
  Arbrew

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

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

  Use ' Firefox/file > output "(Mac: ' Firefox > quit smoking";) Linux: "file > exit ') to close Firefox if you're doing that by clicking on the X close in the title bar.

• Firefox is already running but is not responding? Simple answers don't seem to work

  I started Firefox earlier today and received a message about a problem with Firefox and he had to be reset. Because the other option seemed worse than the reset, and Firefox Reseting seemed relatively painless, I clicked OK. A short message popped up on the registration of passwords, bookmarks, etc. with success. Then a small window pops up, saying it was cleaning of Firefox. While the process seemed to freeze. I liquidated it, killed at any process of firefox running and attempted to restart Firefox, when I received the message "Firefox is already running, but does not." There is a folder on my desktop labeled 'old Firefox data' which I assume is from Firefox reset (it is also now a copy of the profile on my desk, just in case).

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-already-running-not-responding

  I found this and tried to work through it, but it doesn't seem to help.

  (1) Ther' are no Firefox.exe in my task manager, nor is there a process plugin-container.

  (2) I deleted the file "parent.lock" in both the profile (which is just a bunch of jumbled letters and numbers with 'default' in it) and the record of the old Firefox. However, these files were just "parent.lock" not "parent.lock.parentlock".

  (3) did not change the name on it, so unless the reset did before she locked herself, I don't know what to change it to.

  (4) it is not a file share, so...

  (5) this could be a possibility. The folder of Firefox that my profile is 'Read only' is, but I can't not to change cela. Everytime I go in, turn off the 'Read only' option and tell him to propagate the change through subfolders, it seems to work, but when I check the properties 10 seconds later, 'Read Only' is checked again.

  Sounds that the profiles.ini was corrupted when you remove the old default profile and adding the new profile.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file

  You can have security software that preventing to change the Firefox file.

  You use the Profile Manager to restore an existing profile or create a new profile.

  A "Reset" creates a new default profile with a timestamp attached and is trying to import some settings of the old profile, leaving the old profile intact, including the (invalid) cache folder (topic: cache) can take up to 1 GB.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  Versions of Firefox 15 + will move the old profile folder "old Firefox Data-#" folder on the desktop that gets a figure if you use reset several times, so you can no longer use the Profile Manager to return to the old profile.

• Error message says that my system doesn't have the ability to read (.) Not able to read the incoming faxes and outgoing of the TIF files).

  Original title: MS Fax.

  I try to read the incoming or outgoing faxes. A message says that my system doesn't have the ability to read (.) TIF files).

  How to solve the problem?

  Thank you

  Alex

  The 'Support' engineer's response is the dumbest answer I've seen in a long time.

  At least as much as I understand your problem, you have no problems, send or receive faxes, but rather, you can not view the faxes that have been sent or received.

  You need to get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer works again (or get a new app to view TIF files).

  Click Start, then click Run, and then type the following in the "Open" box and click OK

  regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

  Don't forget the space after the 32

  A dialog box should include the following:

  "DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW. DLL succeeded.

  If it does not, type the following in the box 'open '.
         
  regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll

  And if that fails, go to C:\Windows\system32 and check that there is a file called shimgvw.dll (or does not).

  Hello

  Most likely, there is a problem with the CD/DVD drive. You can burn a data disc when

  If burning a data disc works then you have any add-ons for WMP12?
