Firefox won't start on my laptop. Why what is happening now, I used it for years?
Firefox needs to be downloaded via another server whenever I try to access the internet.
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I used the migration assistant to transfer all the data from my old macbook pro to my new iMac, now the images in the Photos seem to be blurred, with large pixels. Recorded images were of high resolution, why what is happening? Is it possible to fix it. In the old macbook pro, the image looks ok.
Migration assistant has a really bad experience with iPhoto and Photos
If you still your old MB of available space, connect it to your new Mac (network, mode target firewire or use an external to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format hard drive and drag the iPhoto library folder images on the new Mac and heck the iPhoto library to icon in the Dock to migrate Photos)
I hope this will work better

I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black, the upper band has Taylor Swift and a few small icons to the bottom of the page. If I type Perry Como, in the search box, the page does not change.
lysdexic01, I know almost exactly what you describe on my screen of iTunes Store recently updated for Windows 7 64-bit. Only difference is that the icons in the black box are invisible until I move the mouse above them, their location by trial and error. Once activated, the icon remains visible. Each found icon flickers at first, but stops flashing if I pass the mouse over it.
I think that the store is now functional and useless for those of us experiencing this problem. Other users have reported that their iTunes store screen flickers since they updated iTunes to the latest version, but most did not mention the area big black screen that you and I see.
So far, Apple seems not to believe that there is a problem with the software to update iTunes. It is therefore important that users continue to report these problems to Apple that there are enough complaints for attention even during a week of office party.

Text looks like binary or computer language. Why what is happening
When I turn on my computer all the text looks like a binary or computer language. Every day I have to restore to an earlier time to put it right. Why this is happening and how I put good...
I refer to the captions under the icons on my desktop.
No I does not always restore to the same point. I restore to the last point, which was good.I use XP SP3I don't know the State of malware, and I don't know how to find out...Sorry to be slow getting back to you. Notifications of the Forum do not seem to work for me.
I didn't find anything exactly like your situation, but maybe one of system fonts is damaged. See if the following can help.
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Properties
In the Properties window, click the tab "appearance".
In the appearance window, click on the button "Advanced".
In the Advanced window go to the menu drop down under ' question: ' and select 'icon '.The default value must be fonts: Tahoma and size 8. If those who are not your settings, change to make them so. If not, try another font. Not all fonts will allow you to use 8 point type; I wouldn't not much bigger.
If your setting is already at 8 points Tahoma, open a text editor that allows you to specify fonts (e.g. Microsoft Word) and see if the police Tahoma works correctly.
Malware:
You must have a version recent (2 or 3 year) an application of antivirus with current updates (i.e., not later than yesterday).
Download, install, update and run both of these free applications.
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
SUPERAntiSpywareYou don't need the paid versions that work all the time. Just make it a practice to update and scan your system on a regular basis.

Firefox won't start on my home page selected.
Regardless of all the settings and troubleshooting I found in the Firefox support, whenever I open Firefox, it goes back to my last session. Sometimes it opens several tabs, even if only one tab is open in the last session. When this happens, the main tab opens correctly and additional tabs just turn on "loading". My selected homepage is currently https://www.google.com, but no matter how I put it. What is going on?
The details of your Question > Details of the most illustrious system an optional parameters file named file user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder.
Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. For some strange reason, a command to restore your previous session often is found in this file.
Unless you have created the user.js file yourself, you can remove it. There is a section in the following article on how to do it: How to fix preferences that will not save.
Note: by default, Windows hides the .js file extension. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest you to have Windows display all file extensions. This Microsoft support article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions.

Firefox does not start unless in safe mode, what to do?
One day, Firefox, Windows Explorer, or Windows Mail will start up. No explanation as to why. I have a connection to the internet, my virus definitions are up to date and a program that I use and which works through Remote Desktop says I'm connected to the internet. Firefox starts in safe mode, but even if I reset it doesn't start off safe mode.
Hey, installed new drivers for the video card and it works perfectly. It wasn't a good intuitive solution - it did not make sense to me beforehand that it was likely to work, but it worked so - so much for my intution!
Thank you! -

After the upgrade of Firefox 7 to 8, I was unable to start the program, probably due to the makings of eSSO of Oracle running on my computer. I started v 3.6 which doesn't have this problem. I just tried upgrading to v. 9.0 and was dismayed to find that this bug is not fixed. Here, I am back to 3.6 v, once again, but I need a modern browser that can run HTML5. If this can not be repaired, I switch to Chrome.
Hangs at startup can occur in Firefox 7 or higher (but not Firefox 6 or an earlier version) If you use a login system company like IBM Tivoli Access Manager or Oracle Enterprise Single Sign on Manager (bug 680927). See the bug for a workaround report suggested or downgrade from 3.6.xx of Firefox (available here), which is still maintained.
Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Crash_when_starting_Firefox
Workaround for crash is linked HERE, under "Attachments" in the bug report. When you click this link, it will display the contents of the .reg file (you can save the page as "ff7fix.reg" on your computer and then merge in the Windows registry, f you are used to do this).

I closed my laptop computer to quickly and now he used to start
I just get an application error when I turn it on. It allows me to choose the repair and/or safe mode but neither fix it and it just goes back to the error. Its a circle without end. How should I do if I can return to my laptop please. I have a dell laptop with windows vista, please help. I can't reboot it :-(, I need to go beyond the error.
Hello
1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?
2. What is the full error message you get?
Disconnect any external devices and tries to start and check if the problem occurs.
Step 1: as you have tried the system repair options, you should make a boot disk in Windows Vista startup repair.
Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
Step 2:
If startup repair does not resolve the problem, then you try a system restore booting from the Windows Vista disc.
What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?
Hope this information is useful.

I've used Norton on different versions of Firefox for many years. I also find their password for several convenient locations. Recently, he disconnected Norton of my Add ons because he "could not be verified." More info on protecting me (from Norton). I don't understand. I see any of this substitution. Anyone have any ideas?
You can use the Norton Toolbar in Firefox. https://community.Norton.com/en/blogs/product-update-announcements/Firefox-40-support-Norton-toolbar
Note that the norton toolbar does nothing to improve your safety that Firefox is not already have built in, and the norton toolbar is known to have caused other problems. Having installed norton toolbar is not impacting the real part of the norton antivirus, which is keeping you safe.
