Firefox has not today and not reinstall or run somehow

FF stopped working entirely. I have uninsalled 14.0.1 13 and reinstalled. Who has not solved the problem. I get msg that FF is already running, but it is not running and does not appear in the Manager of tasks as an active process. Scan of the machine for viruses using PrevX shows a clean machine. I tried many ideas in this support website but am limited since I don't have the ability to run the FF. Discount file read-only to read profiles not only did not hold as whenever I checked the properties of the profiles folder always it will reset read-only.

The problem seems to be with Prevx. Set Prevx mode installation and upgrade, then it works fine.

  • Firefox has not been started. I downloaded a new. the icon is crossed out. How can I fix?

    March 25, 2011
    I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
    After rebooting my computer today. Firefox has not been started. I clicked on the icon, it has begun to initiate and then stopped before that something happened.

    To try to solve the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new. He gave me a message: "the Firefox application cannot be launched-10661."

    I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. It's a circle with a bar slash on it. Same message arrives.

  • Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

    I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
    I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

    Hey there,

    We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

    1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

    Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most 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 issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

    I hope this helps!

  • After that restart of firefox does not start. is running in the Task Manager, but won't pop up. Reset safe mode and uninstall/reinstall won't help. OK so no reset.

    Win7 Pro. has worked ok firefox. but lately with 25 and 26 now, firefox does not start. I see that firefox is running in the Task Manager. but it will not just appear.

  • Firefox will not reinstall on my computor

    Firefox did an overnite update, and after that I couldn't on the internet using Firefox. I deleted and tried to reinstall it, but it keeps just downloading. Sometimes I get an error message of not having mozglue.dll.

  • Firefox has not rembering passwords

    Firefox has stopped to remember my password

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode.

    To view the history settings and cookies, choose:

    • Tools > Options > privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: use the custom settings for the story of
    • Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.

    Do you hear the names and passwords in the password manager or do you mean that you are connected is no longer on to (remember to) Web sites after the closing and restarting Firefox?

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

  • Firefox does not; reinstalling doesn't fix it

    Mac running OS 10.8.5. Started Mac, firefox does not open. Tried the safe mode and reset, both just hung up. Deleted firefox, downloaded the new firefox, restarted Mac and firefox, opens the empty and ball rotates constantly. Saw the news mozilla on 'Corrupted profile', but can't see all the 'Profile Manager' on Mac. Help!

  • Update of Firefox has not

    I tried to enter in Firefox today and he said he was doing an update and Firefox would start in a minute. He did, but I was unable to access a Web page, including of mozilla.org. I thought I had a problem with the internet connection, but I could ping these same stations, achieve with IE (which I HATE) and my Vonage (VOIP) phone worked without problem. I tried to restart and stop, finally tried to reinstall FF. It say download, then stops and says download. There is a button to resume, but he isn't back. Finally, I decided to uninstall FF and tried installing again. Same result. Now I have no FF at all. I can use IE, but it's the hassle, simply because it's IE. I even tried to install 29.1 FF with the same result.

    finitarry,

      THANK YOU!  That did it!  I really appreciate your quick reply and your expertise.

  • Why firefox has become bloated and lazy like IE?

    I tried like hell to stick with firefox, but it became useless.

    Installation of costs, on a new installation of operating system on a PC with 8 cores@3ghz and 32 GB of ram, and firefox is STILL SLOW!

    More than 10 tabs == random crash for a few seconds / minutes
    Have more than 5 tabs and close one that it blocks a few seconds to a minute.
    Have more than 10 tabs open, select "Close other tabs" after the tabs, FF hangs for 30-90 seconds.

    After the closure of the tabs, CPU utilization pulls up to this core... I say for this kernel, because the limit of mozilla firefox for one heart, which wouldn't be so bad, except EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM HANGS waiting for THAT ONE CORE to CATCH THE FUCK UP!

    Add on top of that firefox looking more and more like the chrome... I mean.. Firefox is essentially like having the version slow, delayed, shit smell of chrome...

    PLEASE GO BACK TO WHAT MADE YOU FAMOUS!

    A light and fast browser.

    NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS ALL THAT USELESS GARBAGE YOU KEEP SHOVELLING AWAY!

    Here's an idea, before avant d' ajouter to add more code buggy nonsense that serves nothing real other than to make you look more like a bastardised version of chrome, why don't you actually fix crap buggy, slow garbage code have already set you up?

    STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE THE CHROME! IF I WANTED CHROME FUCKING, I HAD TO INSTALL IT!

    If the next version of Firefox is nothing else than to fix the many problems causing slow performance and high CPU usage, I'll be moving to chrome and leave Firefox and Mozilla to continue its business of a slow and painful death walk down.

    @the-edmeister thanks for the typical canned answer, I am pleased to see that copy - paste works always.

    Canned responses do not work, because the situation is based on a new installation of the operating system and a new installation of firefox.
    All the drivers on the system is new and up-to-date.

    I ALWAYS run through the basic troubleshooting list. If I had found a solution for poor performance and hogging CPU memory/crappy, I him have not posted here.

    @jscher2000
    Thanks for the link, but I had already tried it, work with no joy.

    As for the rest of the answer, I have a few comments and questions:

    Statement: "Mozilla's mission is to drive the web forward, which is to introduce new technologies constantly in Firefox."

    Comment: Change the GUI to work and look like Chrome is not new and innovative. It is simply duplicating someone else's ideas.

    Statement: "at the same time, developers constantly working to improve the efficiency of memory."

    Comment: since when? Over the years, whenever FF has "updated" the memory usage has increased. On rare occasions, it has also introduced memory leaks, or attempted to hide or split to its own use of memory in the secondary threads... plugin-container for a good idea, is an example that has been poorly implemented.

    Statement: "because the browser code is open source, others have used it to create products that look more like older versions of Firefox, or gathered for 64-bit systems, etc..". You can check those and decide if they are more productive for you than the official version. »

    Question: Where might these alternatives. Simply Googling turns a myriad of other browsers, Chrome for most of the results. Versions of firefox based very little I could find are the pale Moon and waterfox.
    Others are based on the FF are for most * nix flavors or specialized for users of niche such as cat and iceweasle for gnu and debian ice respectively, and wyzo based on niche media downloads.

    I understand that Firefox is open source, and if I had the time team, Fund and development to devote to creating a browser standard, basic, no frills, using their source, I would have already.

    My problem is not with Firefox itself, but the struggle continues Mozilla comply Firefox for chrome UI, while gradually adding bloat, instability and some "features" unnecessary which are not needed or requested by users.

    I get that Mozilla tries to innovate. But adding bloat and tracking features of data or features that cannot be used unless the tracking data is enabled is a huge slap in the face of almost all those who have started using firefox because it objected to these measures implemented in other browsers at the time.

    The entire reason why firefox became so popular was because it worked, was quick and did not use all of the system cpu and ram. Why? because at that time, it had all the bells, whistles, gadgets, door knockers, the banana seat, ape-hanger handlebars and a chrome-plated stand... Remove all trash, and the browser would be more likely to cut its use of CPU and memory in two, if not more.

    And Yes... This has turned into a feedback session.
    No, I didn't intend to let him be.
    No, I will not create a survey of 'feedback '... I've done done several times over the years, and as is typical of mozilla, they simply ignore it and do the opposite.

  • Instead of instantly transition down when I mousewheel down, Firefox has decided today to insert 10 images between the two ends of the motion. How to fix?

    I didn't not settle anything. Firefox has just decided to act in this way today. It is very distracting. Wait a full second for the screen to fix is a terrible experience.

    Hello, with the update on firefox 13 scroll smoothly has been activated by default - if you like you can always turn off the feature in firefox/tools > options > advanced > general.

  • I've updated to Firefox 25.0 today and then everything went slowly; Firefox reset did not help.

    That could work! May not be too sure, but emails seem to load fine now.

  • Bookmarks under Win XP Firefox has not transferred to Win 7 FireFox with Easy Transfer

    I followed the instructions from MS for the migration of my PC to Win 7 of WIN XP. I used Easy Transfer to save my settings on an external hard drive. After Installing Win 7 as a custom installation, I used Easy Transfer instructions to transfer user accounts and settings back to my PC. Then I started to reinstall my programs. When I reinstalled FireFox 28 bookmarks were not completed. Number of cases was in the list of bookmarks, but all the URLS that I have saved in these files were not there. I went on the external hard drive I used easy transfer, but there is only one program listed when I click on wants to redo the easy transfer. I don't think I want to do. How can I restore my favorites?

    You could have found now, but if not, you should find it under:

    C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If this folder is not visible, please see my link earlier in section of Microsoft technical support for the display of the hidden files and folders.

    I recommend leaves all the contents of this file and make copies of what you need to (do not move files); This will allow you to make the future recoveries if necessary. This article lists the most interesting files: recovery of data from an old profile.

    To restore an old backup of your bookmarks, it is easier to copy the last file in the old bookmarkbackups subfolder to a location such as Documents or desktop. Then use the option "Choose file" when you select the backup to restore. Restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer
