  • Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

    Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    I tried to download firefox.

    User Agent

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

    When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

    If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

    A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

  • Firefox opens but nothing don't watch/load in the window, the buttons of the menu even not

    I open Firefox & a window opens but nothing does not charge or show, not even the menu buttons. Sometimes when you click on blindly around some menus will open but options beyond that don't produce anything either.

    I have (not necessarily in this order):
    Uninstalled Firefox, deleted all the other files, then reinstalled (twice)... did not help.
    Revenue from PC back to before Firefox updated... did not work.
    Uninstalled, debugged my PC, reinstalled... did not work.
    Disabled the firewall & changed the settings to make sure nothing was blocking it to work... did not work.

    At this point, after the support of Mozilla Surf site & not finding anyone else who has this exact question I don't know what else to do. I love Firefox and want to continue using it (I HATE using Internet Explorer), but the only other alternative I can think of is to use Google Chrome or IE.

    I have Windows 7, use McAfee, & SpyHunter. My laptop is under 5 years old & I keep reg. thing updated, so I don't think that anything should be obsolete or incompatible.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new faster way to loading Web pages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still tweaks to the Mozilla developers make this.

    There is a known issue that Mozilla works very hard to fix: If you have black pages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:

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

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select 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.

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

    To disable hardware acceleration

    • Click the menu button

      then select Options.

    • In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.

    Now, quit Firefox, wait a few seconds and start normally.

    Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also collecting more information on the question would require that you fill out this survey

    I should also mention that other users with this problem had a card intel integrated graphics hd with a former current driver. Until Mozilla comes with a fix, if you want hardware acceleration in Firefox, you can try updating your driver through the appropriate link below to see if that helps:

  • When a link to open another application and firefox is closed, Firefox opens but the link does not work

    I use Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.2, 29, this problem has occurred on the OS 10.8 ~ and various other versions of FF. I use 29 simply because I like it!

    The problem: Firefox is configured as the default browser in all directions it is possible to set as the default value. However, when I click on a URL from any application and Firefox is closed, Firefox opens opens, my last session of navigation tabs start, but the link does not open. I must return to the application and click the link again. This only happens on Firefox. I can put any other default browser and it will open the link in a closed state.

    This is happening to me, same, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1. I can click on a HTTP link in another application and Firefox becomes the active application, but it will not load a new tab for the link, as expected. Instead, it just sits there. I have to go back to the other application and click on the link a second time, during which point Firefox correctly open a new tab and load the destination URL.

  • I use Firefox v12 but history only lasts for a month, and then suddenly I lose any history except for today

  • My version of Firefox is updated, I restored to default settings Firefox, restarted, I downloaded the latest version of Flash and it won't work, it crashes...

    Mac, OS x 10.6.8 (updated), Firefox 28.0 (updated). Adobe Flash has been downloaded and no videos will work on all web pages using Firefox. I have reset the settings by default and restarted Firefox. I get the message that Adobe Flash broke down. Shut down the computer, restarted. Same thing. Uninstalled Flash and videos run but very agitated, jumps of 5 second increments after freezing. Firefox hangs and must be stopped by force. Installed an older version of Flash and it will work, but I get a warning that it is vulnerable. I crossed it several times and checked all my updates and they are the most recent available. Videos are running on either the latest version of Safari.

    I'm happy to have helped. Thanks for laying back.

    Remember to follow any progress, because I hope a fix will be available and you do not want to stay on Flash 12 unnecessarily.

  • My .exe files are not open as they should after a virus removal and some do not work right.

    Here's the problem. I did a scan for viruses with AVG and deleted viruses from my computer. One of those annoying virus seems to be a program called Vista Antivirus that I had never downloaded or installed. I had a feeling that it was not good when she appeared all first. After that AVG has found to be a threat, he removed. This is where the problems started.

    After the removal of Antivirus Vista, my programs refuse to open without a right click and run as administrator. In some cases, like my WMP, the music and the Zune program, they do not work properly. Whenever I try to open a song in WMP or Zune, it won't play them or videos. Instead, as with all other programs, the 'Open with' window as if it does not recognise .exe files. So now you can see my aggravation.

    There is one more problem. After that I restart and login to my account and open the Task Manager to close unnecessary programs that I don't need or want to open, there are usually a whole list of them. However, as I did this virus removal, only a few main Basic programs that are needed to power the computer are open. Since most of those who opened before were .exe files, I can see where is the problem.

    Honestly, I'm stuck for what to do to solve this problem. I'll do a system restore and see if it works (and I hope it will be). If this isn't the case, I need little help and instructions to fix this annoying problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and help out me.

    -iggy

    Edit: System Restore has been a success. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening in the future?

    Hi ignite444,

    Glad to hear that the problem is solved!

    Unwanted programs or virus downloaded on the computer without the user's knowledge.

    Important Antivirus software must be updated regularly to stay effective against new viruses. Most of the antivirus software are designed to update automatically, but you can also update your software manually.
    You should also keep during the virus scan regularly.

    Update your anti-virus software

    check the link below for the number of Windows vista-compatible antivirus software.

  • Firefox opens but does not open links or Web sites

    Basically, fire fox will open to the home page and that's all. If I type in the search bar, or participate in success and link/navigation bar, nothing will happen. By clicking on a bookmark or a link from the history won't do anything. FIrefox does not. Using another browser gets the results of work, so my internet isn't the problem.

    I went back to firefox 3 to get things working again. I tried to re - install firefox 18 again and everything installs successfully but nothing works.

    So, any help would be appreciated.

    Please update to Firefox 18, and then reset. Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons . In addition, you use a proxy?

  • Firefox opens not at all on the macbook pro and then blocks mac entirely.

    My firefox does not open when I clicked on the icon, there is a little blue light under it. I installed and re-installed and still does not. When I click the icon in the dock my macbook just hangs and I have to restart it manually. I'm afraid that my knowledge of this kind of thing is extremely limited, I read through many problems of messages but I do not understand the instructions others have given. It happened to my firefox and I renamed the file .exe (?) and that does the job, but I don't remember how I did it / can't find the post that helped me. I'm sorry to be so fundamental, but I can't remember and want my browser to work again!

    You will not want Firefox to an .exe file, which is for windows. Make sure that the extension is. app. You can do this by going to Finder > Applications > Firefox > right click and click on the button "Get Info." Then halfway was the name of the file with the extension. Change it to Firefox.app if it is not already like this.

    In addition, you can consult this article to support if it does not help.

    Have a great day!

  • Why keep Firefox open a second page titled "new version available" and then wants to install a binary of the air software?

    It's anything but she jumped two times to just return to this page to two pages. I click the X and he left, but returned to the next Web page request.

    I found it. I saw a strange "free file converter" program in my program configuration panel. I noticed that popups had a banner announced a free file converter, which had the same icon as the one I had seen. I went to my computer program section and did an uninstall. I didn't uninstall and then tried to take me to their Web page. I have X'ed the page before it got far and clicked on finish on the uninstall program. The problem has not shown since. I have no idea how the file got there.
