Firefox unusable 35 after update

Firefox on my laptop set to update to version 35 last night, as planned. When I started it today, however, the browser was completely unusable. The main window was empty, the window itself was blue, I couldn't get one of my Add-ons to open, could not even by default access all of them to remove them and solve what was going on and that the browser wouldn't connect to all pages. It is, literally, dead.

I would like to show a screen-cap, but first I tried to uninstall the browser assuming that, maybe, it was just a problem with the update and she needed a new installation to work properly (maybe the update downloaded with an error - troubleshoot everything). After uninstalling (which happened), I downloaded Firefox, once again, and he started its installation process, which included downloading everything, this is extra bits, it is necessary. And then he just sat there saying 'please a moment' then the green bar spun and spun and spun. After half an hour, I gave up and installed Chrome just so I could use a good browser (and not to suffer by IE).

I use Firefox, but at this point, it seems that I can't install it, so I'm stuck to give up on this unless someone can come up with a fix.

NVM, found a Mozilla tutorial on that. I don't know what addon has been the origin of the problem, but I just removed all of the extensions directory, so I could start from scratch (assuming a mentality all or nothing in cleaning). Firefox support once again, so now I have just to customize in the way I like.

Thanks for the help. At least I know that my system is nice and clean now!

  • Can not change the language of Firefox in English after update

    I've updated Firefox on behalf of my daughter, who is French, then returned to my own account, which is in English on the same computer Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and opens Firefox. He had updated it is also good, but in French, and he won't go back to English. I even deleted the French as an option in the preferences-content-language Options page and restarted the computer. Charges still in French. My children know French, but I didn't, so it is a pain in the thigh. How can I fix it?

    Better would be to install the Firefox en-US or en - us version and install the French language pack in the profile of your daughter and only update of Firefox in your account on future opportunities. You need to reinstall the language packs after every update.

    You can find the latest version of Firefox here:

  • Firefox crashes Windows after updating to 38

    It, I run Windows 8.1 on a laptop Lenovo Y510P SLI and after the upgrade to 38 launch of firefox blocks the BONES together. The screen freezes, the mouse or the keyboard are insensitive, but will continue to play all of the sounds in the background for a few more minutes until it stops too and the only thing I can do, it's power button to force a shutdown. I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia geforce experiencr a few days ago and the firefox 38.0.5. I tried to download the developer edition, but the situation is the same - I see a UI very distorted and if I press the menu button, the system hangs. What should I do to solve the problem?

    You can run Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any less crashy?

    If the problem not occur until you run some Flash Media, want to set the Flash Click-to-play (Ask 'activation'). This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve.

    To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you do not need to Flash, just ignore the notification.

    It is also, some standard advice that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

    (2) turn off the hardware acceleration in Flash

    Right-click the press and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off mode protected (Windows Vista and later)

    The functionality of the safe_mode of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. There is a hidden for this parameter:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    Any improvement?

  • Graph of Firefox ridiculously furred after update

    I installed Firefox on Kubuntu (38.0 package version + build3 - 0ubuntu0.14.04.1). After the upgrade, the Firefox UI everything is furred. Tabs, icons, everything. Given zero has not set the problem. A screenshot should be attached, although I seem to have a lot Uploader.

    Thanks for the screenshot. Another user posted about this earlier today: default zoom is too big (unsolved). I will repeat my comments here where they help.

    I think that your distribution contains platform-specific extensions, then I suggest to test with those disabled in case there is a compatibility issue with Firefox 38. One way to do that is to run Firefox Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    If this makes no difference, you can try to adjust the setting for the support of high-resolution, which functions as a zoom factor:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste the pix and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is usually set to-1.0, which means use the system default value. You can change this to 1.0 for the return of 96 DPI and see if that's what you prefer. And you can increase the size of there by slices, for example, 1.1 for a total zoom of '110% '.

    Please be careful not to set this value to something tiny, because it can be difficult to recover from that.

  • Why is my Firefox background rose after update and the pallets in the options contain ONLY shades of pink?

    After the update by 12.0, my browser changed to rose. Try to change the colors of return (after reading the forum posts), I discovered that the pallets were entirely pink.

    I start Firefox in safe mode and the rose disappeared, suggesting that one of my modules was to blame, but after disabling all the one at a time (except for the theme by default.. .the one I have) the rose remained.

    Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration?

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
  • Why Firefox only opens after update? Told to close, but how?

    Windows 7. Attempted to update Firefox later today, but it does not work on my screen. When I try to use the previous version or remove it, he first shut it down. How can I close that I can't see? Thank you.

    See:

    Try to run the program Firefox once as an administrator (right click firefox.exe: run as administrator).

    If this does not solve the problem then delete the program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) Firefox to do a clean reinstall.

    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.

  • Firefox keeps crashing after update this morning

    Really frustrating as this my work computer with all my passwords and links saved to it.

    You may have to reinstall Firefox 31 temporarily until someone figures more information about this particular crash signature.

    To properly replace your program files Firefox 32 (without affecting your settings):

    (1) this section has a link to get the installer: install an older version of Firefox.

    (2) rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (3) run the installation program that you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    It starts and runs correctly?

    If so, one note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Otherwise: We were looking for an issue or in the folder of the external/malware software settings.

    There are security software such as Avast and Kaspersky that intercepts secure connections and sends its own certificate.

    If you have Avast then try disabling the analysis of HTTPS in the Web Shield, Avast.

    If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:

    Open the "Add Security Exception" this URL chrome by pasting into the address bar of Firefox and check the certificate:

    • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

    In the field of location of this window, type or paste the URL of the Web site.

    • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
    • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display

    You can check details such as the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the certificate display.
    Check which is the issuer of the certificate.
    If necessary, you can attach a screenshot that shows the display of the certificate.

  • How can I recover my lost after updating to Firefox v33 tabs?

    Problem: After updated to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP the tabs in my previous session, which was last night at 23:38 UTC

    Here are the steps I took:

    (1) history > restore previous session is grayed out.

    (2) I checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > general Panel > when Firefox starts: show my windows and tabs from last time.

    (3) I clicked on Firefox > properties > Previous Versions. But since I have never set up any kind of restore configuration, there is no earlier versions available.

    (4) I tried to search the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder and replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because this file date has changed to 14/10/2014 18:38. However, I can't find the session.js file and the files only related to sessionstore I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak - 20140923175406.

    Help, please! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to history to find my tabs one by one, because I also had groups of tabs that I didn't open in a month or more and each group of tabs have several tabs in them also.

    First of all, very important, please make a backup of all files that begin with sessionstore in a safe place, such as your Documents folder.

    If the .js extension does not appear on your file sessionstore.js (the session.js file), you can stop hiding file extensions windows, at least temporarily. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

    If sessionstore.js is completely absent, it's very strange. In this case, I suggest to leave Firefox and then rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.bak to see if Firefox can read this file when it starts again.

    There are a few techniques to extract the URL of sessionstore.* files which can be useful if sessionstore.bak is not useful.
