Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

Is it possible Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

This has happened

Don't know how many times

Vista corrupted after installing Firefox.

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I highly doubt that installing Firefox would cause a problem like this (assuming that you have downloaded Firefox from an official Mozilla download mirror site), but I'd be curious to know what caused the installation of Firefox crash at the start.

If you have access to the internet with another PC, my advice is to go on a Windows forum (such as this one - http://lounge.windowssecrets.com/index.php ) and ask for help with trying to get Vista to boot before doing anything as drastic as reinstall Vista. I've never used Vista myself, but older versions of Windows have a Safe Mode which launches a bare minimum of services, and there is also a ScanDisk routine that can be launched.

    This is the first time I tried to install Vista on this desktop computer, but I am also having bad to do a XP Pro install also.  The reason for the installation was that I could not start Windows at all after the power went out while the PC is in sleep mode.  When thiat, he was running XP Pro and then I decided that I would be upgrading to Vista

    Hi Wafflechunk,

    1. do you format the hard drive before doing the clean install of Vista?

    If no important data on the hard drive, then I would say allows you to perform a clean install by formatting cells.

    Reference:

  • "Firefox guard wanting to install ver.17, I left it and it crashes on 'Check now to add on cooperation', this may take a few minutes", there is a one-hour, not MB

    Ugh... firefox was wanting to install 17.01 or 17.04, can't remember what number she bothers me and bother me until I said okay, I'll update my version. so I let him, you need to restart my computer, so he said just a minute firefox checks your addons for comparison, or whether the 'f' he says, then turns on a box and a horizontal line scrolling back and forth as his work and the bottom says, this may take a few minutes. Well, I wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and... nothing. I can't cancel, I can't x out of the box... I let it for more and time and it does nothing... so I have to use internet ex. I have redownloaded firefox from there to try it from scratch and same thing, if I cancel the box immediately stops then nothing I can rehit the firefox button and it will load firefox. but never fear... another box comes up later and says you need the latest version of firefox... man if the system on your end doesn't, can't you guys see this? I am disappointed that you have exhausted there is too long too. and ads and the slow and privacy is becoming more of a question

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions, is not compatible, in "tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the left side of the search bar (or click on the"Find updates"button in older versions of Firefox) to check if there is an available update compatibility.

    If that didn't help then also try to delete the file addons.sqlite.

Thank you plantingrichard

    Hello plantingrichard, first of all, it would be useless to worry about Firmware updates, because data for these Firmware updates are stored in the devices that the firmware has been installed for.

    You may be able to restore the system with the feature of restoration of HP Recovery from the hard drive to the system startup and the F - 11 key when the HP Logo screen. Just as it was when shipped, it would put all HP applications on the system.

    You can then use the Vista DVD disk and perform an inplace of Windows Vista SP1 upgrade.

    If you don't want all HP applications, you can perform a new installation of Vista.

    You may be able to locate the Vista SP2, but I suggest the Windows Update site and download and install all updates including Vista SP2.

    If you have a DVD of Vista SP2, you can use it to upgrade or new installation. The Vista SP2 would have included in the DVD of Vista SP2 SP1 updates.

    As you suggest, it will take some time to complete, but you'd probably have a more stable system using this approach.

  • Unable to install Windows Vista, the system freezes at copying files and the extension of the files

    Original title: Setup error

    So I installed window vista Ultimate edition on my Mac, like two windows. I backed up all of my hard drives. so when I started to install everything went well until when it came in part from extension of files and copy files to the * something *. After like 20 minutes I had this error saying could not complete the installation because of corrupted files or something and then he is out. I tried homebasic, home premium etc. but I received an error even for each other. I went to the dealer where I bought the cd, returned and got another but still have the same thing

    Hello

    ·        What are your system specs?

    ·        How you try to install windows vista on the system? After the start of the desktop?

    ·        What is the exact error message that you experience when the system hangs during the installation?

    I suggest you to disconnect all external devices that are connected to the system such as (printers, scanners, etc.) and see if the problem is resolved.

    This occurs mainly, if the system (hardware or software) is not compatible with the operating system that you are trying to install on the system. I suggest you to format the partition in which you try to install Windows Vista, and then check if you are able to install the operating system or not.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

    I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

    I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

    Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

    Mark W. Stroberg

    Hi, Mark:

    I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

    The best way to install the driver is as follows...

    Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

    With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

  • Firefox Mobile is not installed on my Motorola Dext.

    Firefox Mobile is not installed on my Motorola Dext, I download the ARMv6 that can run on my mobile but not. What can I do?

    Android 1.5 is good that even though, as it can be stable a smooth, but he can't support newer applications like the current mobile Firefox.

    In fact if you are in the United States, then you might get an update to 2.1

    November 9, 2010, the upgrade was finally released to the American public. The European and Latin American phone (DEXT) versions will not receive the update.

    The chip it uses is the Qualcomm MSM7201A which is part of the ARM11 ARMv6 family. So if you do not update Android 2.1 installed, then builds ARMv6 can run.

    Hello Tim

    I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

    Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.
