• will not let me delete Java and other programs. Say I am running Windows in safe mode?

  Can not remove some programs

  Hello

  ·        Why are you starting in safe mode?

  ·        Do you see the safemode, written on all four sides of the screen?

  If you see you're starts in safe mode so you can't uninstall programs in safe mode since the Windows service install will not work in safe mode.

  Windows service install is responsible for installing and uninstalling a program on the system.

  I suggest to start the desktop normally and then check if you are able to uninstall the program on the system.

• Flash will not install, it says its already running when it's not

  Flash Player has attempted to day then chrashed, then the update wouldn't load because he was told that only one instance can be run at a time. I turned off the computer, uninstalled and deleted every bit of flash player, that I can find but when I try to install it again it still says that only one instance can run at a time and will not be installed

  I use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer, if someone could tell me how to load by the installer, I would be very grateful.

  Use these installers:

  • Flash Player ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
  • Flash Player plug-in (all other browsers)

• Since the creation of two profiles, I can't automatically open files/links from outside firefox

  I wanted to have Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 on my desk for purposes of test site Web. I made a 2nd profile and following a tutorial the value my firefox shortcuts:
  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI Firefox4-no-remote
  'C:\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox3.6\firefox.exe' p - Firefox3-no-remote

  (is there a way to do so that it starts automatically the right profile, instead of having me to select in the Profile Manager?)

  Now, if I double click on an HTML file, I get an error from windows saying: "Windows cannot find not (filename). Make sure you typed the name correctly... »
  And if I click on a link in outlook 2010, I get an error from firefox saying: "Firefox is already running but is not responding..." "(firefox is running, but according to the Manager of the tasks only once and that it responds normally I would say.)
  "and from outlook, I get"General failure. the URL was (url here). The system cannot find the specified file. »

  I'm guessing this has to do with it do not understand what profile choose? is there a way around this? (other than the definition of something else than Firefox as my default browser?)

  Rising, I just installed everything on this system a day or two before, so I have nothing really invested in a facility of firefox and have no problem with destruction of the profiles, as I have no data other than a couple of days of browsing history and a few agifts, or what is important to me.

  You cannot use the -no-remote control for your implicit profile / default browser.

• How can I get FF to open a link from FF to the outside, for example from an e-mail, in a NEW TAB and open a link from FF in the SAME TAB

  I want to be able to open links from other applications, such as my email client or the Office Word, Excel, etc., in a NEW TAB in FF v11, AND AT SAME TIME, and by default, be able to open links clicked of in FF (entire page Web or tab) in the SAME TAB AS THE LINK, unless I do a right-click and choose 'Open link in a new tab' or 'Window '. Is this possible? This action/behavior should be an option in the 'options' or settings. If it is already, then it is poorly defined or marked as to what action, it's that the setting doesn't.

  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 is already running but is not

  I started my computer and I tried to open firefox but a windows appears and say Firefox is already running, but does not. To open a new window, you must close the existing windows, and try again.

  The problem is that he is not running. I opened my task manager and there are no programs running, I have check the processes running and nothing to do with Mozilla firefox is here. How can it already be running if it is not open?

  I actually fixed. I was looking for in c:\users/myname/appdata/local/mozilla/firefox/profiles

  I looked in
  c:\Users/MyName/appdata/roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/profiles and found the profile.locked file and deleted. Works fine again.
