• Process of Firefox starts but doesn't show main window

  Hello

  Since a few days, I can't start Firefox. The beginning of the process, but hangs with a memory fixed space and zero CPU usage, and the main window simply will not start. No accident report is created. Kill the process and try again is the only option.

  I tried to start Firefox as administrator, which works (but is not recommended from a security perspective), and the fact Firefox start when Windows is in safe mode. Firefox also starts when TrendMicro OfficeScan processes are stopped, but it is hardly a solution in a commercial environment, be admin on my machine is already a special case.

  Periodically, events, Firefox starts, but the next time that the issue is back.

  After trying several methods of troubleshooting, I tried to perform a clean installation, nothing helps:
  -Remove Mozilla of App Data records (roaming and local)
  -Uninstall Firefox
  -Remove possibly remaining Mozilla Firefox in Program Files (x 86)
  -Run CCleaner
  -Restart
  -Re-install

  Currently I am looking in a procedure that could help me determine with certainty if OfficeScan is actually guilty and try to prove to my IT Department in order to the make degenerate into TrendMicro. Of course, if OfficeScan is not guilty, to find that a solution would be too perfect...

  System information:
  -Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
  -TrendMicro OfficeScan
  -Firefox latest version, 40.0.2 for the moment, the stub Installer.

  An alternative to consider is the Extended Support Release (ESR) version of Firefox? It is based on Firefox 38 but receives security patches at intervals similar to the standard version. Enterprise software providers can use this trial version (I guess they test...).

  You can learn more about ESE here: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/

  Clean reinstall it

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.2.0esr of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Fx40
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\Fx40
  

  (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Install and run?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \Fx40\Plugins

• Firefox starts, but cannot access any website.same issue is experienced with Chrome, not Explorer

  Hello, I have a problem with surfing with Firefox. The browser starts but cannot access any Web site. The same question is experienced with Google Chrome. However, Internet Explorer works smoothly. Thank you

  Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
  trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
  update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
  Firefox to connect to the Internet

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
  • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

  Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

• There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

  There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

  seen on:
  -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
  -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
  -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

  None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

  The problem:
  -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
  -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
  -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

  Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

  You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.

• Firefox 4 beta does not display pages, but seems to load.

  I installed the version beta of Firefox 4, but whenever it opens, I can't see any content. Tabs and toolbars are on top, but the rest of the screen looks like glass and shows just the stuff behind firefox.

  Also, what seems to be a status bar, (with noscript controls icon and sync) appears at the top left just below the toolbar.

  I can navigate to pages, go back and forth and see all load in tabs at the top, but I don't see anything below.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  Hi, I do not know where to turn: the person who takes care of all the stuff of count is out of town, this friend started Firefox and there was a message about an update, I thoght I again just click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I remember is this another open window and asked me to choose 'something' (an icon or banner or?), I thought I have to click on an element (I guess I should read all clearly). Firefox updated to 3.6.4, but it also inserted some sort of what might be called a banner? But it does cover only partially the half right of my 3 toolbars at the top of the Firefox window. It cannot be used to something else because it's just a mess of colors and unknowns, except for what looks like a 'top' and what I recognize as an icon of Firefox (but only partially visible)! Now, what he does, it's partly hide this part all the toolbars and they are difficult to read and to do to turn this 'thing' impossible to understand, if I keep to? I can't find in any case to remove it or use it? But since the icon of Firefox is about it, I think you need to know what it is and how trash. I'm sorry for this accident caused my my inattention, but I'm not much of a computer person - HELP! Thanks for any help. Judi

  Click on it (delete button), and he (Persona, this mixture of colors) should disappear instantly.

• I am trying to download acrobat pro dc creative use of clouds packer. It fails every time. It seems like PAC and do the package, but then when I try to install (acrobat pro dc) nothing happens. Installation starts but there is no dc pro acrobat installs

  I am trying to download acrobat pro dc creative use of clouds packer. It fails every time. It seems like PAC and do the package, but then when I try to install (acrobat pro dc) nothing happens. Installation starts but there no acrobat pro CD is installed.

  Hi Pavle,

  The installer for Acrobat is different from the rest Cloud Creative applications that is why when you create a package by using Creative Cloud Packager, there are two folders created:-

  (1) build-->> all upward for all Applications of Cloud Creative except Acrobat.

  (2) exceptions-->> Contains for Acrobat and the Muse.

  You will need to install Acrobat first through the Exceptions folder. Select the option to install as a trial or a subscription.

  Then install the creative rest of Cloud applications through generation file, it will install the applications and your copy of Acrobat license also.

  I hope this helps!

  Thank you

• Whenever I click on the "home" button, my home page is displayed but a Firefox start page opens in a new tab. How can I stop this?

  This problem began only after I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox.

  Hi Doug,.

  Sorry about that. It might be this time your home page and the Firefox start page are defined as your home page.

  Here's how to reset your home page:

  1. Open your home page and close other tabs
  2. Click on the

     

     menu button and click on Preferences

  3. In the Preferences window, click on general
  4. Click the use current Pages button

  I hope this will fix things. Let us know if it works!

  Best,

• In version 13.0 is selected the option "when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time", but I always get default page of Firefox.

  Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.

  Hi Goldie_,

  I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.

  Hope this helps!
