Browser Firefox opens not today though I used it for years

I tried to open Firefox this morning, but it does not open. I use Win 8.1. I tried to open it with shortcuts and programs files. I tried to reboot the system. Nothing seems to work. Chrome and IE times open & connect to the internet.

I could find no conflict with the firewall or security software.

I didn't know what to do, so I downloaded a new copy of Firefox and installed without banishing what already existed. After that, Firefox open right & I still had all my favorites and saved passwords. In any case, it now works fine.

Thanks for the tips.

Please also consult the details of how correctly do a clean reinstall of Firefox:

  • Why can't I use Norton Toolbar on Firefox (cannot be verified? I used it for years). Time to change my browser?

    I've used Norton on different versions of Firefox for many years. I also find their password for several convenient locations.

  • Firefox opens not today.

    Fire fox starts today. Worked fine last night.

    Help!

    The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

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

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

    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder in case there is a problem with the file.

    You may need to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
    Firefox will create new files.

    On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    This may be considered to be solve my problem.
    I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
    Thank you for all your help and advice.

  • Firefox opens not all sites I've ever been to before

    Firefox opens not all new sites that I've never been before, or he lets me get questions that are new on search at the top right of the screen. All sites that have been previously visited are very well - for new I just get the little circle that goes round (sorry, I'm not really computer) until finally, it tells me that it has expired. I can get to these new sites very well through Explorer. I can remember bad but not for a long time there was an update for something (which may have been java or google) and later a box popped up and I think I checked something that I thought that I had to check, but now think I wasn't - but have had this problem since.

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

    Why I always get direction is not available when you use maps for the iPhone 6 more?

    Currently I live in the Qatar.

    Hi Alison, Sameh

    The reason why you see directions is not available, it's that for cards of Apple, turn-by-turn directions is not a feature that is available in the Qatar. You can search for places and satellite imagery

  • I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black

    I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black, the upper band has Taylor Swift and a few small icons to the bottom of the page. If I type Perry Como, in the search box, the page does not change.

    lysdexic01, I know almost exactly what you describe on my screen of iTunes Store recently updated for Windows 7 64-bit. Only difference is that the icons in the black box are invisible until I move the mouse above them, their location by trial and error. Once activated, the icon remains visible. Each found icon flickers at first, but stops flashing if I pass the mouse over it.

    I think that the store is now functional and useless for those of us experiencing this problem. Other users have reported that their iTunes store screen flickers since they updated iTunes to the latest version, but most did not mention the area big black screen that you and I see.

    So far, Apple seems not to believe that there is a problem with the software to update iTunes. It is therefore important that users continue to report these problems to Apple that there are enough complaints for attention even during a week of office party.

    It's a problem with Norton and not the Firefox browser with Norton of Suspicious.Cloud claim

    She did this false positive Suspicious.Cloud with SeaMonkey for years every so often releases SM and Norton did not bother to fix it. Norton antivirus would claim a virus found in file freebl3.dll only there is not and never has been.

    You have to be such a regular occurrence that they still singling out Norton in the known issues for SeaMonkey version notes for a few years as can be seen in http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.33/#issues and appears until Norton finally fix it.

    Messages on the claim of Suspicious.cloud with Firefox here (and mozillaZine) were infrequent compared to SeaMonkey.

  • Firefox opens not after Lollipop 5.0.1 on HTC a M8

    I have the same problem as several others have posted.
    Have a HTC a M8
    It was working fine with Firefox until the 5.0.1 Android update Lollipop was installed today.
    Firefox does not work - it just opens and crashes to the count of 5. To send the report. Restart, done the same thing.
    Tried - uninstalling and reinstalling (last version via GooglePlay). Empty the cache. Boot into recovery and clearing the cache partition.
    None of these elements of fixed the problem.
    Fix Firefox for my phone soon! I'm a Web site developer and need my Firefox. Not to mention I don't like these other options. Although the Chrome and the Dolphin seem to work very well. Please don't use these other guys.
    Thank you!

  • Firefox opens not at all, even after reboot and re-setup - IE opens normally - what can I do?

    I have used Firefox since version 3 - really like compared to others.

    This morning, after the startup of Firefox does not open. It worked when the PC was off last night. The eggtimer lights up briefly, then nothing. Internet Explorer works fine, just like Mailwasher (by e-mail) and MS Outlook, is not a problem of the internet.

    I am running XP Service Pack 3 (no, really, yet), with Secure Anywhere of Webroot internet security.

    I tried to restart - no effect
    I tried to remove, reboot, and reinstall - no effect
    I tried to run it from a link in an e-mail message - no effect
    I tried to run from the line start - run with the ~ option p as in your FAQ - no effect
    I tried to reinstall Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave, Java, etc...

    The closest, I have something to go is trying to launch a console of Webroot, when I got "Browser launch 1073741819 error" - but this could be an error code of Webroot.

    I don't know what else - make almost all your FAQ will be that you can enter the program.

    The only thing I can think is that webroot removed a threat this morning, but I can't find saved the crawl log for what it was - clutch at straws, maybe that had something to do with it?

    Maybe it's related, but I'll have to write this on another PC, because the Mozilla Web pages displayed incorrectly in Internet Explorer (all other sites I can find appear in normal type) so the plug-ins installed do not reflect what I have on the PC in question

    I just tried booting up the PC in "safe mode with connections", and under these conditions, Firefox opens and behaves normally. Does this add any light to the puzzle?
    

    Yes. This means that another program has been in effect to prevent Firefox from running. If do not help the above suggestions, you can solve the problem, as described in the following article. The relevant articles are 'How to perform a clean boot' and "what is then when I have a clean boot environment?", subsection "how to determine what is causing the problem.

  • Firefox opens not at all on the macbook pro and then blocks mac entirely.

    My firefox does not open when I clicked on the icon, there is a little blue light under it. I installed and re-installed and still does not. When I click the icon in the dock my macbook just hangs and I have to restart it manually. I'm afraid that my knowledge of this kind of thing is extremely limited, I read through many problems of messages but I do not understand the instructions others have given. It happened to my firefox and I renamed the file .exe (?) and that does the job, but I don't remember how I did it / can't find the post that helped me. I'm sorry to be so fundamental, but I can't remember and want my browser to work again!

    You will not want Firefox to an .exe file, which is for windows. Make sure that the extension is. app. You can do this by going to Finder > Applications > Firefox > right click and click on the button "Get Info." Then halfway was the name of the file with the extension. Change it to Firefox.app if it is not already like this.

    In addition, you can consult this article to support if it does not help.

    Have a great day!
