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'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.

  I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox does not open after the last update.

I'm unable to open the profile technical, even when you use the directory in cmd line path. I tried the following commands in the command line:

The article says to check the setting of virtualization in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache.

• Firefox does not open from the desktop icons

  Hi guys: were adware problem by resetting firefox market and stop for 12 months. Now I virtue open in the... Task Manager shortcut icons / start bar will not work. Any advice much appreciated

  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 is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  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.

• Firefox does not open after the update to 14.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate

  Firefox did its automatic update to 14.0.1 and would be more open. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I tried to add a new profile (which ends not - it crashes when I cliquerai on end). Nothing seems to work. I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. It had worked perfectly until this last automatic update,

  I went back to 13.0.1 and disabled the automatic update. Before installing the 13, I blew some left behind registry entries. 13 installed and works very well. Maybe Mozilla can make some better tests in the future for new versions don't cause pain so much. A headache more like that and I'll just go back to IE.

• Firefox does not open to the blank page, but always by default is return to the Home Page.

  I continue to reset Firefox (latest version) to open a blank page, but he continues to open up to the default Home Page. This homepage has a unwanted Firefox logo in the Middle, with a search bar under. I don't want to see it all when I opened Firefox, but can't seem to get rid of it. There is nothing in the Extensions or Plug-Ins that could cause this.

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  Step 1

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

  Step 2

  When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Step 3

  In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com Apple.something.plist

  When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

  Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com Apple.builins.plist

  com Apple.cereng.plist

  com Apple.nysgar.plist

  There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

  com.something.plist

  Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

  These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com.semifasciaUpd.plist

  com.ubuiling.plist

  Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

  com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

  Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

  com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

  com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

  com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

  com Apple.aelwriter.plist

  com Apple.SERVERD.plist

  com Tether.plist

  The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

  Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

  If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

  Step 4

  Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  Step 5

  The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

  Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

  Step 6

  This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

• 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.

• Currently, Firefox does not open gmail or yahoo mail, it will be open to all other web addresses, which seems to be the problem?

  Since Thursday, March 20, 2014 sometime after about 16:00 my Firefox does not open Gmail or Yahoo accounts, I can always open web pages to other web addresses. I don't remember the updates or changes to my laptop during the day. I use Win 7 Professional and 28 of Firefox.
  I went through the troubleshooting information suggested and there is always the same problem.

  Empty the cache of google.com & yahoo.com. -Select
