  I've been running firefox now for about 4 years and love. Recently, I tried signing and he spends just a blank page. I uninstalled it and re installed nothing helps.

  Hi Colleen, assuming that it is not a problem of external software, then the next few things to try include:

  Firefox Safe mode

  It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features of Firefox. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  If the menus are usable, 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

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  If the menus are not usable, exit/crash Firefox and hold down the SHIFT key when you start again. A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  You can load pages?

  If you have the same problem, it could be something in your settings or in the Firefox program folder. These approaches test these possibilities.

  Create a new Firefox profile

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also come with fresh data bases of completely fresh settings and a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Do not delete anything here.

  Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like Dec17 and ignore the possibility of changing the location of the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  You can load all the pages in the new profile?

  If so, this looks like a settings problem. If this isn't the case, it could be the Firefox program files corruption. See the "Clean reinstall" section below.

  When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

  To keep the new profile, and migrate the data, see the article: recovery of data from an old profile.

  Or as an interim measure, you can return to your regular profile and try the Reset/Refresh function. This article describes what is preserved and lost in this process: Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.

  Clean reinstall it

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 34 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) to rename the program folder

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  When you start Firefox, you may need to use the Profile Manager to return to your regular profile.

  Any improvement?

  Note: Some plugins recently installed can exist only in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• Very recently, whenever I run Firefox, an arrow appears, pointing down and disappears to the top of the screen

  Recently, whenever I run Firefox, an arrow appears, pointing down and quickly disappears to the top of the screen. I'm not trying to download something, it is whenever I run Firefox. At first I thought I was seeing things, but verified by concentrating just to catch, it appear and disappear. See no reason for this. I use Firefox for years and it's never happened before. Furthermore, it does not appear on my IE browser.

  Never mind. I found the problem and it was a program that was trying to download it, but couldn't all the time. I removed from the Firefox download page.

  Status: solved!

  you get a new product key for Windows 8, if something goes wrong and you need to go back to windows 7, as long as you have the product key for windows 7, you should be fine.

  If can not install windows 8 it will return you to Windows 7 with the windows product key 7

• Using Firefox on Windows 10 with Google as my home page.

  Using Firefox on Windows 10 with Google as my home page. Since works with Windows 10 bezel image and question box, but there do not show. Is it because of Google, Firefox, Windows 10 or a joint problem? Have looked for a solution and tried many suggestions but nothing works?

  Thank you, Rob

  My apologies to you Fred.

  The fault was all my decisions. The desktop of Windows 10 had been configured in white using my Visual problems.

  It is turn caused the faulty display of Google in Firefox.

  A test in the normal Windows theme shows the Google logo and question box frame correctly. This is perhaps why MS do not offer a standard white desktop computer in W10.

  Sorry and best regards

• Will run out of disk space with these daily updates of MSE my HP/Compaq Presario with Vista?

  I'm sure this has been asked before.  I just installed Microsoft Security Essentials after the uninstall of a problem FREE AVAST ANTI VIRUS.  PC is better/work order.  But these daily updates of Microsoft are troubling.  I have 103 Gig capacity hard drive with space of 'FREE' 69 Gig.   And abandonment.   I don't do very MUCH with the PC.  Basic stuff.  Account management.  Look at Yahoo and Accuweather. Create a card.  Messaging.  My question is Microsoft updates daily use eventually the capacity of my hard disk?   There are now 55 updates.  When I ran Windows updates with the Defender, there were 4 or 5 important updates per week and I could choose the ones that I have no need of (I think).   Your support of experts and orientation is a great help for me and I thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It would take a lot of time to fill your disk space hard if you don't use it a lot to save anything yourself

  MSE updates will not be a concern for you with to take too much space

  You MUST have these updates as Malware is written daily and definitions to help protect your computer should be the writtern and installed to protect your machine

  a way to choose which updates you want to install, change how you get updated Automatic FRO other updates to 3rd party hardware drivers, etc.

  read this tutorial

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  and to clean the C: if needed, read this information

  see if this program helps you to determine what is take up space

  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_personal/

  by default system restore will have up to 15% of the capacity of the hard disk

  you would like to reduce this amount

  The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

  • Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

  • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

• Qosmio G50 - 10I - cannot run Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit

  I would like to know if someone can run firefox browser (not in safe mode) on the Qosmio G50 - 10i using Windows 7 64 bit. Since I changed the operating system 32-bit to 64-bit, I can't use Firefox browser except change the browser in safe mode.
  Don't know if this is a problem with the computer or web browser.

  A control will be useful
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Of course, you can use Firefox on the Qosmio G50. Why it shouldn't be possible? Firefox can be used on all computers.

  In my opinion, you should try put it back. Download the latest version and update. Maybe it works.

  Although the game is listed by the developers as compatible with Win XP, it works absolutely fine in Windows 7 but does not work under Windows 8, or in compatibility modes either. Have you tried all the corrections proposed in the thread above credits, and no help.
  Some tips that I can spend on the game developers on how to try to make compatible Win8 game, can be useful, as I have their contact information.
  Thank you
  Fred

  Hello

  Microsoft maintains a full division (MSDN) whose only goal is to help developers creating Windows compatible software. The developers of this game would need to use an SDK (Software Development Kit) or one of the other products developer to build the game.

  You can ask this question on the MSDN forums.

  MSDN forums:

  Did you ask the developers if they plan on an update of Windows 8 support?

• When I run firefox a little white box appears and I can't do anything?

I ran spybot search and destroy, malwarebytes anti-malware pro, anti-malware fighter iobit, exterminate and I have avg internet antivires security and none of them can find nothing in firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled again but I have the same thing again. can someone help me please.

• Why can I only run firefox as administrator - associated with zonealarm

  This has happened frequently usually after an upgrade, it is causing security problems I have now a virus that took advantage of this situation.

  This seems to be a consistent failure through the lifecycle of firefox, I will not work as an administrator and if it cannot be fixed moves to another browser

  Hello

  Thanks cor - el for your answer, I didn't check out safe, but it seems to be a problem with zonealarm and virtualization of the browser I fixed it by that.

     1.  switch off browser virtualisation in zonealarm.
     2. Load firefox.
     3. Switch on browser virtualisation in zonealarm
     4. Unload firefox.
     5. Load firefox.
  

  and it now works OK, I don't think it is related to virtual data that I had previously turned off a few times before.

  Don't even think to ask the question.

• How can I recover data from a disk that has been done under windows xp with the new computer that is running windows 7?

  My drive has been created using a windows xp windows live care and my new computer works with windows 7. How can I get information on the new computer. When I tried to download the software of microsoft it would allow me to do. Any ideas?

  Hi Dorene33,

  ·         What exactly happens when you try to download the software?

  ·         You receive an error message?

  ·         You are able to access drive from devices and printers?

  ·         What happens exactly when you double click on the drive and try to open it?

  I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Hope this information helps.
