Firefox opens not today.

Fire fox starts today. Worked fine last night.

Error Msg... "Alert message. "... says:
Could not initialize the safety component of the application. The most likely cause is problems with the files in the directory of the profile of your application. Please check that this directory has no restriction of read/write and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and correct the problem. If you continue to use this session, you may see incorrect application behavior when you access security features.

I scanned for viruses and maleware, rebooted... no luck.

Now I have to use brand X,... the Explorer.

Help!

The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder in case there is a problem with the file.

You may need to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
Firefox will create new files.

  • Browser Firefox opens not today though I used it for years

    I tried to open Firefox this morning, but it does not open. I use Win 8.1. I tried to open it with shortcuts and programs files. I tried to reboot the system. Nothing seems to work. Chrome and IE times open & connect to the internet.

    I could find no conflict with the firewall or security software.

    I didn't know what to do, so I downloaded a new copy of Firefox and installed without banishing what already existed. After that, Firefox open right & I still had all my favorites and saved passwords. In any case, it now works fine.

    Thanks for the tips.

  • Firefox opens not all sites I've ever been to before

    Firefox opens not all new sites that I've never been before, or he lets me get questions that are new on search at the top right of the screen. All sites that have been previously visited are very well - for new I just get the little circle that goes round (sorry, I'm not really computer) until finally, it tells me that it has expired. I can get to these new sites very well through Explorer. I can remember bad but not for a long time there was an update for something (which may have been java or google) and later a box popped up and I think I checked something that I thought that I had to check, but now think I wasn't - but have had this problem since.

  • Firefox opens not after Lollipop 5.0.1 on HTC a M8

    Tried - uninstalling and reinstalling (last version via GooglePlay). Empty the cache. Boot into recovery and clearing the cache partition.

  • 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!

  • Firefox opens not at all, even after reboot and re-setup - IE opens normally - what can I do?

    I have used Firefox since version 3 - really like compared to others.

    This morning, after the startup of Firefox does not open. It worked when the PC was off last night. The eggtimer lights up briefly, then nothing. Internet Explorer works fine, just like Mailwasher (by e-mail) and MS Outlook, is not a problem of the internet.

    I am running XP Service Pack 3 (no, really, yet), with Secure Anywhere of Webroot internet security.

    I tried to restart - no effect
    I tried to remove, reboot, and reinstall - no effect
    I tried to run it from a link in an e-mail message - no effect
    I tried to run from the line start - run with the ~ option p as in your FAQ - no effect
    I tried to reinstall Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave, Java, etc...

    The closest, I have something to go is trying to launch a console of Webroot, when I got "Browser launch 1073741819 error" - but this could be an error code of Webroot.

    I don't know what else - make almost all your FAQ will be that you can enter the program.

    The only thing I can think is that webroot removed a threat this morning, but I can't find saved the crawl log for what it was - clutch at straws, maybe that had something to do with it?

    Maybe it's related, but I'll have to write this on another PC, because the Mozilla Web pages displayed incorrectly in Internet Explorer (all other sites I can find appear in normal type) so the plug-ins installed do not reflect what I have on the PC in question

    I just tried booting up the PC in "safe mode with connections", and under these conditions, Firefox opens and behaves normally. Does this add any light to the puzzle?
    

    Yes. This means that another program has been in effect to prevent Firefox from running. If do not help the above suggestions, you can solve the problem, as described in the following article.

  • Last download of Norton Security seen cloud 9 virus issue after downloading Firefox opens not said 'cannot find runtime", removed and reinstall XP Pro SP3 work

    Running Firefox 36.0.1 an update has been downloaded on 3.19.2015.
    Norton said that this is a problem of cloud 9. Subsequently tried to open Firefox,

    It's a problem with Norton and not the Firefox browser with Norton of Suspicious.Cloud claim

    She did this false positive Suspicious.Cloud with SeaMonkey for years every so often releases SM and Norton did not bother to fix it. Norton antivirus would claim a virus found in file freebl3.dll only there is not and never has been.

    You have to be such a regular occurrence that they still singling out Norton in the known issues for SeaMonkey version notes for a few years as can be seen in http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.33/#issues and appears until Norton finally fix it.

    Messages on the claim of Suspicious.cloud with Firefox here (and mozillaZine) were infrequent compared to SeaMonkey.

  • Firefox opens not after the 35.0.5

    Hello! 2 days ago my browser received an update (I have not seen). Yesterday I tried to open it, as always, by clicking on the icon, but nothing happened. Same story trying to run are executable file directly. OS: Windows 8.1, Firefox 35.0.5 was last updated.
    The error does not appear.

    Hello! Thanks for all the answers! I updated Windows via Windows Update Manager. After reboot everything works fine!

  • Firefox opens not except in safe mode

    When I clicked to open Firefox a few days ago, a small window opens with this message:

    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends.

    Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623


    I found the solution page about this to Firefox and followed the instructions - closed FF, open in Mode safe, is go to Add - ons and changed my theme to the default.

    Then I closed FF and it has reopened.

    The solution worked. (yay)

    Later, however, I had the same problem when I tried to open Firefox again.

    I went through the steps of opening Safe Mode but my theme was already by default, so I changed to another and then changed back to the value default, FF closed and then reopened.

    When I had the same problem, once again, I went through the above step and then uninstalled all the themes, but the default value. (Or so I thought).

    The next time I tried to open FF, the same ole error message came. I did the fix mode safe, FF has closed and then reopened.

    However, another message came:

     FLAGFOX VERSION: null (missing IPDB!)
    
    

    ERROR MESSAGE: Error starting Flagfox Fatal!

    Ugh.

    There was a link to click on but before I could click on it, another window open with this old error:

    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends.

    Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623


    So, I could not click on the link for Flagfox error because I had to close the 2 windows to go to FF Safe-Mode to get rid of the error Add-ons/themes.

    After closing then opening again FF, it opens but crashes. At one point, I had dinner and then came back, and he was still suspended. So, I opened the end of task task manager in FF to close.

    A few weeks ago, I had installed Chrome. Since I saw 'ChromeWindow' in the error of Flagfox, I thought maybe Chrome was to ruin FF so I uninstalled Chrome, turned off and turned back on my computer.

    Then I tried to open FF, only to have these two errors pop up again.

    BTW, after the opening of the FF mode safe (for the moment zillionth), I went to "themes" and they were all there - I thought I had uninstalled all except the default value, but they were all there.

    The furthest (more?) I've come is to be able to click on the link of FlagFox open FF, but then this happens:

    Flagfox.servehttp.com takes too long to respond

    and FF is suspended... and hangs...

    I'm so frustrated!

    So I can open only FF mode without failure.

    I came here on the forum and connected, etc. to post this message, but none of the boxes issue-details were visible, so I am currently using Opera.

    I'd appreciate any help. Please keep in mind that I'm not 12 years old so I don't know much about computers, lol. In other words, please answer with simple and easy words then I'll understand.

    Thank you!

    By chance you have Personas Plus installed, if you do so in safe mode you can access the Add-ons Manager and either disable or uninstall, that should solve your problems.

    The error messages indicate that the add-on FlagFox is the cause of the problems, but Personas Plus version 1.6 is currently havoc with Add-ons.

  • 21 of Firefox opens not mp3s in Windows Media Player

    I put the option program of file type for the two 'windows media player' and 'request' and Firefox always opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab MP3s played in the popup from Windows Media Player (after download) fine in the latest version of Firefox 20.X. I tried to disable the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to prevent them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the plugin (QuickTime).

    MIME MP3 settings in Quicktime format have been unchecked and the settings of Windows extension all are defined on Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

    Hello sewing1243, 21 firefox now uses the codecs that are included in your operating system that allow him to directly read mp3 and mpeg (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named media.windows - media - foundation.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to false.

    Another way to download files without tweaking the above-mentioned preference would be to click right on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

    I use Firefox with Tab Mix Plus under Linux Fedora for a long time. So, if I right click on a bookmark, and then select open in a new tab, nothing happens. I tried to use the keyboard shortcut, but it does no good. However, if I have rght-click on a link I can open it in a new tab.

  • 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.

  • 27 Firefox does not work under sandboxie 4.08

    After the update to version 26 27 version, Firefox opens not under Sandboxie 4.08. My XP Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running as a process, but not as a running application. I tried everything and then some, and nothing seems to fix this. I don't really like running UN-sandbox. I've also posted this problem on the Sandboxie forum, and other people are having the same problem. I think the problem is with the last update for Firefox and not of Sandboxie since all previous versions of Firefox have worked perfectly under Sandboxie.

    I really appreciate all the comments on this issue. What I finally did to solve the problem, is to return to an earlier version of Firefox, version 25.0.1. Update version 26 removed a feature that I liked and, of course, the problem of sandboxing with version 27. I read in a previous post that someone was successful with the version 27 by downloading the full version of Firefox 27 sandboxed and install on their existing installation of Firefox rather than return help > about Firefox > check updates which is what I did. Still overall, the road I took should not have any problem with Sandboxie since he has never done before. Of course I've always updated outside the sandbox. I closed Firefox completely by clicking file > exit; Open UN - sandbox; updated; then re-open Firefox with the "Web Browser sandbox" desktop icon. In any case, I now have the version of Firefox that I like better, and it is fully protected under Sandboxie. Thanks again, everyone!
