• Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

  After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

  If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

  I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

  You have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder?

  Try to remove the file search.json and a possible search.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder to reset the default search engines.

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

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

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file

  Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the browser\\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

• Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old process of Firefox must be closed to open a new window.

  When I try to open Firefox, I get this message:
  "Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old process of Firefox must be closed to open a new window. »
  I then clicked close firefox, but the problem was solved not so I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but it's the same thing.
  At this point, I went to support Mozilla and tried the steps described in the article, "Firefox is already running but is not responsible for - How to fix error message", but the firefox.exe process was not in the processes tab in windows Task Manager. While he was in the Details tab, when I tried to put an end to the process, I received this message:
  
  "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied. "

  What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you.

  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.

• 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.

  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?

• Firefox does not open external links (from other programs), it says its already running but does not.

  I'm having this problem, everytime i click a link on other program, like the program's link on the about tab, or a youtube link on Live Messenger, it won't open, a dialog pops up saying firefox is already running and not responding, but it is there, and working.
  If it matters, i have the "beta" tab preview enabled on the windows 7 toolbar.
  

  Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-line of remote control switch.
  You can verify that the target line in the properties of the shortcut of Firefox (office).
