after update, firefox will not open

After the update, firefox does not start. Maybe because I thought that it will re-start the first time I started computer. the instructions have always given this option

Try to download the full version and trash the current installed version to do a cleanup (re) install the latest version.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

  • Basket of the current application of Firefox (for example, open the Applications folder in Finder and drag the Firefox application to the trash) to do a clean install (re) -
  • Install the new version you downloaded

Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • Nevertheless, Firefox will not open on my computer account, but on others.

    I had installed the new firefox 28, after which everything seemed good. But when later I turned on my computer, firefox does not open despite the number of times I clicked on it. I tried 'security mode' as well. Or open anything and does not appear in the Task Manager. However, the options of firefox opens. But there is nothing useful there.
    Firefox works on other computer accounts, just not mine.
    I rebooted the computer several times and I tried to uninstall and install. Nothing.
    And nothing came on an AVG scan.
    Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    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.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    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.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Hate 4, System Restore tried to get version 3 back, now firefox will not open

    After the upgrade to ver. 4, I had to start using for example to use the Court report sites and county tax sites and had other problems if I need to return ver.3

    I did a system restore and now Firefox does not open. (Edition Vista Home premium)

    No problem.

    Click on "programs and features" in your control panel. You will see your old version of 3.6 it and NOT version 4.

    Uninstall the version 3.6 DO NOT click the check box to delete your stuff.

    Go here and reinstall the version 3.6.17: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

    It undertakes to repair your version 3 and you will be operational with your old favorites, etc.

    I got calls from a dozen people with this problem, and it's the solution.

    Enjoy your v.3.6.17

  • Firefox will not open at all, after the last update (13.08.2015).

    After the update (40.0.2 @ 13.08.2015) just used Firefox open. The process is visible in the Task Manager, but does nothing. no window. JUST. NOTHING. It works only in safe mode or when ran as administrator. I tried other computers from home too. Same thing.

    How to fix?

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

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of 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 do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • Firefox will not open even for a split second, shows the page to update norton toolbar in this time and closes before I can even click on anything whatsoever

    Firefox refuses to stay open for half a second. I deleted everything regarding Firefox on my computer, have run Norton Power erasers, am running a full system scan, and even tried to see if Norton was blocking it somehow. I don't know if it's some sort of error, processing, because the last time it worked he asked to update to firefox, and then he said that it was not compatible with the norton toolbar. After update, it crashes like this. I have re-installed many times off my internet, checked the Task Manager and nothing. I have no idea.

    System: Windows 7 32 bit, running on an eMachines computer. Never had this problem before.

    I actually ran it as administrator and it seemed to invite firefox finally to do whatever the heck he was doing. Thanks for the help!

  • After updating firefox does not restart

    On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and at the same time the operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs to restart.

    I notice as some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager newspaper and see, this FF had been updated. Was not in older versions while FF has notified me this reboot is required for firefox?

    Is this a bug or I have some missing parameter. I need notification window be visible until the user closes or restart of firefox...

    Unfortunately no, it looks like it's only done manually: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#firefo...

  • 14 Firefox will not open!

    I tried to update, on 14 FF, twice, and whenever I do, FF does not open. I'm under return 13 without any problem, but as soon as I upgrade to 14, I need to uninstall FF and reinstall 13 and not up to date. But I need to update, most of my modules are not compatible with 13, they say, and I won't be vulnerable to security issues.

  • After update I can not open Web sites other than facebook and youtube on my mac? Help! He says: connection refused.

    Hey after update of OS X El Capitan my laptop is unable to connect to internet via wifi except a few sites as Facebook and Youtube other than that none of the Web sites open on one of the browsers I tried to reinstall it but nothing happened, wifi works fine on all my other devices and internet are functioning normally If I connect to my mac on a LAN Port. Help why this phenomenon happens?

    Open System/Network preferences window and click on the Advanced button.  In the next window, click on the DNS button and see what is listed as a DNS server.

    You can try to use the OpenDNS servers by entering these two addresses:

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

    Save the changes, restart and relaunched Safari.  If you delete these addresses the default address will be back.

  • Since this morning, shortcut desktop Firefox will not open unless Firefox was already open...

    Aaaaahhhhh - yesterday, everything was fine. Nothing seemed to be a problem. This morning I'm on my laptop to read my emails as usual, a shortcut icon on the desktop for Yahoo, and it does not open. Then I tried several other shortcuts office linking to Firefox and none of them is open. The only shortcut that works is the Firefox that brings me to my home page. Once it is open, then my shortcuts all work. What? I must say that I have others linking to Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, and they all work very well. What is the problem with Firefox that I now already have it open to allow my shortcuts to open? It is so annoying not being able to just to open things directly from the desktop. I tried to delete all shortcuts and reapply them. It does not help. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you

    Just checked the other shortcuts and they have now all seems to be a new behavior - I guess I had a fleeting event on my hands!
