  johncoxcpa,
  Well looking at the log you've posted, I came across this article:
  MSI (s) (2 c: D4) [22:29:29:073]: sequence number number for this installation system restore.
  This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
  c:\c17e5b6672c37d9f685b\Silverlight.msi

• How can I prevent the error "Firefox is already running" message while trying to open the links and FF has already been opened by a symbolic link?

  I use symbolic links and shortcuts of programs as a way to easily open different Firefox profiles IE. one for casual/personal use and the other for work. It works well, but I get the error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" if I try to open external links with FF as my default browser. FF is actually open and works very well, but I guess that it does not recognize this fact due to how I started the beginning of the process.

  I could not add executables symbolically related to the component of default program. Is there a way to get around this error or another way to solve this problem?

  The solution to the question below, it's what I use to open the different profiles of FF.

  You are able to start Firefox in Safe Mode or start the Profile Manager?

  (1) 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.

  You can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. (If you get directly in a new window, you must exit all Firefox Windows first).

  A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  It will start?

  (2) the Profile Manager

  This assumes that firefox.exe is not running.

  Start in Manager profiles using Start > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  When you get the Profile Manager window, do not delete anything!

  No matter what time you want to switch profiles, you exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  If you select your default profile and click Start, Firefox start?

• When you try to access at & T Yahoo e-mail from Firefox, I get an error message.

  When I try to access at & T of Firefox Yahoo email, I get an error message:

  Your screen resolution is set below our minimum recommendation of 1024 x 600 pixels.

  When I handed my screen resolution (which incidentally is > than requested) AT & T Yahoo rejects the change and returns me to the error screen.

  I received this error message for years, but until today, I was able to work around the error message by pressing a "Try Again" box on the page. This strategy stopped working today.

  AT & T told me that I should use a different browser! (If you contact me by email I will send you a pdf of this conversation.)

  I love my Firefox, and it's very inconvenient to use another browser to access my email account.

  Help!

  Make sure that the bookmarks backup file has the correct extension (lowercase):

  • .html for HTML backup (must be imported and merges bookmarks)
  • . JSON for JSON backup (must be restored and replaces bookmarks)

  You can check the file type using the context menu of that file and open properties.
  If you are unsure of the type of file, then you can open the file in Firefox via "Firefox > new tab > open a file" or "file > open a file.
  A JSON backup will appear as a single line of text without line breaks and an HTML backup looks like a webpage with clickable links.

  A JSON backup begins with: {"title": "","id": 1, "dateAdded": }
  An HTML backup begins with: <! DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-leader-1 >

  Check the file type in the properties using the context menu to make sure that the change was successful.

  Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
  You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.
