FF works do not (not class in the Task Manager) but is message that is (and missing profile)?

WIN7 (86). Cannot open FF. Download the message, that it is running, but it is not (not listed in Task Manager showing all processes). Tried to access my profile, but the search has failed.

Thanks, cor - el! The kb.../profiles.ini_file did the trick. I was able to find the file using %AppData%. Mozilla files were hidden. I have 'expose' them and presto, it works now! Thank you very much!

  • Total memory of 4 GB newly installed does not appear in the Task Manager

    Total memory of 4 GB newly installed does not appear in the tab of the Task Manager performance. Only 3.3 GB appears. Is something wrong with the chopsticks of mem or mem from Vista 32 bit OS limit uses at this level. I have SP2.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929605

    "System memory shown in the system information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than expected if the 4 GB of RAM is installed.

    This behavior is the expected result of some hardware and software factors.

    Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This is known as memory-mapped i/o (MMIO). For the MMIO space is available for 32-bit operating systems, the MMIO space must reside in the first 4 GB of address space.

    For example, if you have a video card that has 256 MB on-board memory, that memory must be mapped in the first 4 GB of address space. If 4 GB of system memory is already installed, the part of this address space must be reserved by the graphics memory mapping. Graphics memory mapping replaces part of the system memory. These conditions reduce the total amount of memory available to the OS System.

    The reduction in available system memory depends on the devices that are installed in the computer. However, to avoid potential driver compatibility issues, 32-bit versions of Windows Vista limit the total available memory to 3.12 GB. See the section 'More information' for more information on potential driver compatibility issues.

    If a computer has many features implemented, the available memory can be reduced to 3 GB or less. However, the maximum memory available in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB.

    See you soon.

  • Firefox won't work, even if current running in the Task Manager.

    We have about 5 users having Firefox refuses to open. In the task manager the firefox.exe is running. When we run as administrator, it works sometimes, but runs faster. We tried the ESR 38.2 Firefox and that worked for a day or two. I deleted their profiles and installed Firefox fresh with no Add-ons, even a day or two later, it opens. We turned off hardware acceleration, no change. The only thing I can think that I have not done is to clean the registry.

    5 users = all on the same PC?
    Or what with workstations and profiles on a server?

    Any type of configuration customized for when Installer Firefox?

  • Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but only opens a window.

    I can't get Firefox to open a window. I tried firefox-p (Profile Manager) and firefox-safe (safe mode), but nothing works to open a window. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that solves nothing. I haven't changed anything recently, so perhaps there is a update (?) Here's what happens:

    I try to start Firefox, and the Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running. It employs about 32 k of memory, but the window never opens.

    I click Firefox again. Manager tasks indicates 2 Firefox process now. The second is to use about 4 k of memory. Running Firefox repeatedly adds additional tasks to Firefox, each using about 4 k of memory.

    After about a minute, the additional tasks of Firefox (the 4 k ones) start closing 1 by 1. I am now down to only 2 Firefox process, using 32 k and 4 k of memory, respectively. As far as I know, these processes will last forever, until I have shut them down manually. If I run Firefox again without closing the current process, it creates another 4 k process, which finally closes itself. If I close all the processes manually, I can start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Firefox never opens a window, or give a clue showing that it is running, with the exception of the processes listed in the Manager tasks.

    I deleted the one in my USER folder without change. There are a couple more in various C:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles files, so I deleted those too, without change.

    It's a custom location. Normally, the profiles are under AppData\Roaming, I think you already know. There is a shortcut:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    

    This folder must contain a profiles.ini file (.ini file extension may be hidden), which shows the names and paths to your profile folder (s). If you check in a text editor such as Notepad, this file contains sound data?

    If this started right after an update, it could be a problem with security software, put an end to the commissioning (rules of program control) or program files has been corrupted.

    You can check your firewall and other security software for program restrictions.

    To meet possible corrupt files, I suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 43.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in step (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    A cleanly reinstalled Firefox starts up normally?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
  • Chrome.exe appears 6 times in the Task Manager. This means that it has been installed 6 times?

  • Thunderbird is stuck in the loop. Can not stop in the Task Manager.

    links will not open in thunderbird. I followed the instructions in this link: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/01/20/fix-for-thunderbird-not-opening-links/.
    After you set the 3 True values, I left and restarted thunderbird.
    I then clicked on a link in an e-mail message and the LAUNCH APPLICATION box appeared.
    I accidentally entered "thunderbird" instead of "firefox".
    When I clicked on the link in the e-mail, it goes into a loop where the hourglass icon will flash constantly.
    I couldn't go back to the LAUNCH APPLICATION window to change.
    Then, I deleted the Thunderbird folder in program files and reinstalled thunderbird OK.
    Everything works fine until I click on a link in a message. He then goes into the loop, and I have to restart.
    Is there something in the registry that I can change to fix this?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Kind regards
    Geoff Wight

    Go to the menu Tools (alt + T) > options > attachments and delete any reference to Thunderbird.

    Change the preferences to their default values. by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Hyperlinks-in-Messages-Not-Working#w_check-for-an-incorrect-preference then you can read any article that the incorrect pref is usually only a question after using the Thunderbrowse add-on.

  • My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

    DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

    Hello

    (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

    (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

    Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

    Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.
