• Firefox does not open Windows - intermittent - 10 pro

  Once I click on the icon to launch the Firefox browser I momentarily have the little blue icon of waiting... then nothing.
  I can use everything on the computer, including the border, IE, Chrome, and Safari.

  If I go to Task Manager it shows Firefox without activity. I can summon a number of instances of Firefox all do the same thing... nothing.

  If I finish all instances of Firefox in the Task Manager, then try to run Firefox again once it opens and works normally. I can run a number of instances, and they work as they should.

  If I normally close all instances of Firefox, they may or may not work the next time I try to run Firefox (intermittent). If the browser does not, I repeat the closing the Firefox process in the Task Manager and then reopening it... It will work then.

  I tried to do a clean install of Firefox without success. The same problem.
  The new installation of Windows 10 pro (64-bit)

  I have another laptop with Windows 10 with the same Firefox addons and same imported bookmarks etc. It works very well.

  Thank you

  Hi Fred,.

  Thanks for your quick response. I tried your suggestion, but it did not work, but you got me thinking... Thank you.

  What I did... I uninstalled Firefox and then deleted all the references in the window registry related to Firefox.
  Then, I put the edge as default browser, restarted.
  I then downloaded and did a new install of Firefox and set it as my default browser.
  Rebooted just to be sure.

  Yay! It works now.

• Firefox does not not on Windows 8.1 after update to 32.0

  For the last three versions 30.0 and 31.0 32.0 Firefox does not work after update on my laptop Windows 8.1. I tried Firefox reset State by default, uninstall and reinstall and reset my TCP/IP stack (which usually fixes the problem). I also went to Internet Options in IE 11 and unchecked the auto detect settings in the options of LAN connection and then checked again without success. I also have Chrome installed on my machine to check to see if it is in the browser or my internet connection.

  Internet Explorer 11 is the only browser that works so something seems to be wrong in Firefox.

  I discovered that my Norton Internet Security firewall blocking the new version of the program. Chrome has recently developed automatic updated also and I think too, it was blocked.

• Firefox does not open, and when I try to use the "run", it says that the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can't lose my favorites. Help?

  Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:
  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »
  I also tried the same thing for the file in the x 86 folder, but it gave the same error and I went and looked for the files in the given location and they were there.
  Firefox is not to fall down, so he isn't there an other error message, I can give you.
  The things that I had my favorites are really important, I can not lose those, but I am fine with anything else have to re-installed, etc..
  Help please?

  I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

  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.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. 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.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

• Firefox does not after clicking on the symbol, cannot remove firefox because it tells me that it is still open! Windows 7 64 bit

  Firefox does not at all. Would like to remove it and reinstall, however when trying to uninstall a message pops up that I need to first close firefox! In short: impossible to remove firefox, impossible to reinstall, cannot use it. Operating system Windows 7, 64 bit, Sony laptop computer VAIO PCG 81213 M. Firefox worked just fine before. IE works fine.

  This can help if you have had the same problem as me on the occasions.

  Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar. In the menu that appears, select "start Task Manager". Along the upper part of the "Task manager" window, select the 'process '. You will see a list of running processes. Scroll down the list until you see Firefox. Select it and press the 'end process' at the bottom right. Click 'end process' on the warning popup that appears. Firefox should disappear from the list. Now you should be able to start or to uninstall. If Firefox does not appear in the list at all so this fix is not for you. I hope this helps.

• Firefox does not open more than one window, only opens new tabs. Firefox does not open in safe mode.

  Firefox does not open more than one window at a time, and then opens only new tabs. When asked to open the link in a new window - nothing happens, no error message or the page appears. Otherwise, it works great, but no new firefox window cannot be opened menu or the mouse. I tried to reinstall firefox several times, which did not help.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Is 3-4 months ago

  There are some extensions that are causing a problem like that. See this:

  now, I'm using windows 7 Home Basic but in my google chrome and firefox does not please give me suggestion?

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

• Firefox does not load.

  Firefox does not load. I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security and everything was working fine until it wasn't. I then uninstalled Kaspersky, but Firefox still load.

  Since I love Firefox I restored my computer to an earlier state and that fixed everything, then I installed another Kaspersky product and everything was perfect. Now the problem is back.

  I don't know if the problem is on the side of Kaspersky or Firefox, but I would prefer not to restore again and I have no more troubleshooting ideas.

  Firefox starts in safe mode of Windows.
  When I double click on the Firefox icon the mouse indicates the load of the FF, but then, it does not start. Chrome starts very well.
  Contacted Kaspersky, but their first troubleshooting tip didn't work.
  Under Event Viewer, I can see the details of the accident for Firefox, but I can't read and I do not know if they are related to the FF does not.

  I'm agree with unintelligible Firefox and then put it back, but I don't want to lose my bookmarks, modules, themes, etc.

  Any ideas would be appreciated!

  You can start Firefox in its own Mode safe? Hold SHIFT and start Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode. You could at least make backups of Mode without failure. I heard wrong with anti-banner Kaspersky features, if you can try to disable browser protection components in Kaspersky to see if he can coexist with Firefox on your system or not.

  If you need to back up things without starting Firefox, go to your profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windowsand copy. It must contain everything down to your history of bookmark backups and extension settings.

• Firefox does not start - claims that it is already open

  Firefox does not start. He claims to be already running, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

  I tried to create a new user profile, but when I try to open Firefox now, the menu "choose user profile". I tried the new profile and they old, and both give the same error message. "Firefox is unable to use the"Default user"profile because it is in use. To continue, close the Runspace of Firefox or choose a different profile. »

  There is an entry for firefox.exe in the menu of "details" to my task manager and nowhere else. When I try to put an end to this task, I get the following error: "the operation could not be performed - access denied."

  Due to some troubleshooting research, I tried to delete the parent.lock my profile folder, but I get this error: "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Firefox."

  I tried to transfer my bookmarks and preferences from Firefox to Chrome, but I had a similar error suggesting that Firefox was already open and I have to close first.

  I also turned off my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times.

  I'd really rather not lose all my bookmarks Firefox, modules, and preferences. I also prefer to use Firefox for Chrome, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try.

  My PC runs Windows 10, incidentally.

  Try to delete the parent.lock file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding

  What security software do you have?

  Try to create a new shortcut on the desktop Firefox and maybe to reinstall Firefox via a clean reinstall (i.e. remove the Firefox program folder).

  If you cannot remove the Firefox program folder and then try to rename this file to "Mozilla Firefox.old".

  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) to see if that helps.

• I said that I have to install Chrome to place an order at Walmart. What should the Chrome that Firefox does not work?

  I have placed several orders of Wal-Mart before today using Firefox without any problems. But today, nothing but problems. I tried for more than 4 hours, get this order to cross. I told cat line of Walmart and told me that I have to install Chrome to place an order. They don't answer when I asked if Walmart belonging to Chrome.

  I deleted the cookies and cache and restarted but none of this has worked. While Chrome has that Firefox does not work? I tried Chrome before and he hated and had a devil of a time he get off my computer. I don't want to go there again.

  I have attached a copy of the message that I get seems to indicate that it is a problem within Wal-Mart, but I said that it was with my browser.

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and using Firefox 40.0.3.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Thanks for your reply. I just figured out the problem.

  All started when I tried to pay my order at 13:00 this afternoon. I am persistent and don't give up easily. Five hours later, I found an error in their programming, which allowed me to add an item to my shopping cart that was a purchase in store only. But then when I went to pay for it, he became confused and wouldn't let me order but didn't tell me why.

  I solved by moving all items in the basket to saved for later and then add one at a time, trying to get to the car after each addition. It took a while because there are 20 items. He had the same problem when I added the item in the store to the cart and tried to pay for it. So I deleted and purchased on Ebay.

  Now I know probably as much if not more than any of their populations of the Chat line that can only be read on a book script.

  It's a relief that I don't have to use Chrome. I really like Firefox and would not change.

• Firefox does not start after the places.sqlite opening in Notepad

  Firefox does not load again. I tried to create a large folder of bookmarks, but I wanted them to hide so I tried to be clever and create a copy of my current places.sqlite who had no bookmarks added and moved elsewhere, then I added bookmarks and once that replace the current places.sqlite then I created a copy of this and put it elsewhere for more security and then I replaced it with the first places.sqlite I had copied. I had to go through that much trouble because for reasons, I was unable to delete the bookmarks by right-clicking and selecting delete. I had already tried to open places.sqlite in Notepad and since then is when it started to happen. I tried to reset the file extension type, or rather detached, but I can't figure out how. I also tried to remove completely any Mozilla partner, restarted my computer and then reinstall Mozilla, but it didn't work and I prefer not to try again or uninstall it because my computer has a very difficult time even boot Windows 10. He likes to get on the desktop and then never hang while I have to restart the computer continuously until it works.

  Can someone tell me what to do or where it is that I was wrong?

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep the problems, and then create a new profile.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

• Firefox does not open. Keep saying the profile is missing. There is no profile of AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

  I'm on Windows 7 OS.
  I read a lot of similar and related problems anywhere as my own, but none of them has a solution that works.

  I get the error message saying "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

  I checked Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
  C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

  Only thing it is a folder called Firefox and in that one a file called crash report.

  There is no not called "profiles.ini" file so I have no way to access the Profile Manager and uninstall + remove manually all related Firefox folders/files and reinstall Firefox does not solve my problem.

  I have no idea what to do to get out of here to go to solve this problem or difficulty why Firefox doesn't work anymore even when the reinstalled.

  Have you tried to rename the Mozilla folder?

  Also try to delete the folder to the location of the cache in AppData\Local.

  • C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
