Cannot open a new window of an existing window since the last update.
The shortcut on the desktop no longer works, it won't launch in my Start menu, from my quick launch area or in the program file itself. Since I already have a browser window open I am able to open a new window in the menu browser & in opening a new tab & "moving" towards a new window... but if I always close all the windows browser (as for a reboot) I'll be screwed.
Firefox is my main browser if it would be great if it could be repaired.
Hello
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

The download window appears no information since the last update of Firefox
I had to create a new account to help just to get here.
Your navig was fucking up like crazy since the last update. I had nothing else to connection problems in several sites. Sites would connect at random, then I wouldn'; t be able to reconnect. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 times crazy until he has known. and just now, when I tried to ask a question of troubleshooting, my username and password would not work. So I sent a request for password reset. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them went through. When I tried to enter a different user name, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed and clicked any where outside the name space, he would return to the name that was already there. What the hell!
I didn't still the problem, I first want to contact you about!
The download window no longer works. I download a file, I click on "Downloads" to see how long it will be, I don't see anything. Gross, white, white. And Yes, I know that some files download so fast, they're gone until I open the window. I mean great videos megabytes and disc images. No indication that they are downloading at all.
All of this has happened since 19.0 installed. I need to disable the updates in the future to keep the browser working properly!
Well, I found out what was going on. It turns out it was a confrontation with an add-on after all:
http://update.DownloadHelper.NET/index.html?TS=1361662188
So it makes sense why it persists even after reset and reinstalling. Sorry I lost all the time, but I enjoyed your trying to find solutions.
Although I hope that the problems I've had of logging in and out of sites disappear soon too.

My LR catalog will not be open since the last update
Since the last update of creative cloud, I opened my LR catalog. I have a PC running Windows 10.
When I click on LR, a box pops up that says "the catalog could not be opened because of an unexpected error." Then I have the choice to open a different catalog, or to create a new.
I tried several thing:
-J' selected ' create new ' thinking I could maybe create a new catalog, and then import the old. LR refused to open the new catalog.
-J' tried ' to open a different catalog. I unzipped my last backup in a new folder and tried to open it. I got the same error.
I am at a loss to know what to do.
Help!
LR to uninstall then reinstall. Your catalog is a file separated which will not be deleted or altered in some way by doing this.
Also default LR backup the catalog file once every week, unless you changed this setting normal or continuously select the jump key, unless you so a backup of the file catalog which has only 6-7 days.
It is more than likely to a permissions problem that was caused by the update of Windows.
To uninstall open office creative cloud application and uninstall it from there. Restart the system, and then reinstall from the same application.
Or once uninstalled, you can go here to get the original version of LR 2015/6 and then apply the 2015/6.6.1 update.
Download the original version and then jour.6.1 updated manually. LR CC 2015 and LR 6 are the same exact program and the difference comes from how you're signed in. So don't be confused if all you see is LR 6.x.x on the download link.

Thanks Cor - el your advice has solved the problem.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

* Original title: startup error
Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager and processes there are 2 sessions of "run once container" if I stop or another (they are two different size) windows lights up normally.
Can someone help me please?
Hello
Thank you for the information.
System Restore helped to heal the cause (last option of course)
not sure about the Windows update that seemed to start the problem, but it is 2 instances of run once Wrapper were running. I have found that if black screen you started the Task Manager, then selected and close it, either run it once windows Wrappers would begin.
Anyway thanks for your help, we are now healed.
