• Firefox version 41.0 is installed in my computer, but it is not opening

  Previously, I used another version. I uninstalled to remove programs & deleted Firefox Program folder files. Yet once installed, but it did not work. I update Windows online.

  How you try to start Firefox? What is going on?

  Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.

  Windows: C:\Program Files
  C:\Program Files (x 86)
  Mac: Open the folder "Applications".
  Linux: See your user manual.

  Search for Firefox.exe and right-click on it. Select create shortcut.

• How can I register on Firefox Sync so that when I uninstall Mozilla Firefox from this computer and reinstall my settings for someone else, won't there?

  Or just delete my settings and data in the Firefox folder that contains my profile only user on this computer, leaving the browser installed, but does not display my settings?

  I want to assure you that all my settings and data will be always saved in my account of Mozilla Firefox, so that I can install the browser on a different computer and be able to connect to my account to see all my bookmarks, etc..

  Nevermind, I figured it. Thank you.

  For users having the same problem, I just uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from this computer went to the start menu and searched %AppData%, clicked on the "Roaming" and deleted the Mozilla folder. If it won't let you do this, make sure all the things Mozilla are closed and uninstalled. You can always sign in your Mozilla account on another computer or if you reinstall the browser on the same computer.

• Is there a way I can restore my backup profile that I took from a folder (for example Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

  Before re-installing Firefox 19, I took by mistake backup my profile in a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

  When installing, I chose option "Delete old profiles" and I don't see any old folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles profile.

  However, I have a lot of important data stored under that profile that has now been deleted.

  Is there a way I can restore the old profile data? (PS: as stated above, I have a backup of the profile folder that is located under the Local Settings folder)

  I'm in a desperate need for aid. Pls reply as soon as possible.

  Firefox stores only cache files to the location of the local settings and not the files in the main folder of the Firefox profile.
  
  There is no need to save this place in local contexts in any case.

  The main folder of the Firefox profile is in "C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > change Data" on Windows XP.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you have deleted your personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox and do not have a backup then your only option is to use an undelete utility to see if you can recover this profile folder.

• I can't view the videos from the loading of FIREFOX. WHY?

  After the conversion from IE to Mozilla Firefox, I lost the ability to view the videos. I get frequently URLs to access videos from You Tube or other on line videos. Since migrating to Firefox, they will not load. Just today, I downloaded Adobe Flash Player, but I still can't watch videos.

  First thing that comes to mind is one of your extensions, particularly GreatArcadeHits. To do a search on it, I stumbled on this from botcrawl.com:

  The GreatArcadeHits virus (also found that the virus of the great Arcade Hits; although not technically a virus) is a potentially unwanted program or combination of qualified of adware, malware and spyware which mainly installs computer systems with or without consent alongside software downloaded from download.com browser hijacker and monetized other freeware and shareware distribution sites.

  So, you want to uninstall that permanently your extensions. Go to Firefox button/File > Add-Ons/Extensions then uninstall GreatArcadeHits.
  

  Also, go to your control panel, Instructions in XP:
  Start > Control Panel > Classic view > Add/Remove programs and check to see if GreatArcadeHits is there. If this is the case, you can uninstall it.

  One last thing, you want to scan your computer for viruses. You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  Hello

  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.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. 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.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  Please report back to see if this helped you!

• Made the switch from the Firefox chrome; now, meeting places and a few videos does not work

  Salvation; I'm wanting to get away from chrome, but in firefox, I can't get the 'hangouts' working in gmail, even if I do not have the googletalkplugin installed on my pc. Another issue I see is that, on some pages, video does not work; in the latest version of chrome, I understand that the flash thing has changed and I guess that firefox has not changed in the same way. I hesitated when downloading a plugin, as shown on the screenshot for fear that it will mess up video in chrome, I would use chrome. I would rather not switch back from firefox to chrome to phone or watch the video. Help, please.

  I asked for help on the hangouts thing before, but your suggestion 'install plugin' was not enough, so I request further assistance on this now. on the video thing, please just tell if I should download the plugin and whether or not it will affect the reading in chrome. Thank you

  Working! I had the talk plugin set to always turn on but I had disabled the video because I only use the phone, but apparently, they both need to be addressed to always activate... Please mark this as resolved and thank you!

• After the update to 15.0.1 Firefox open from C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

  After the 15.0.1 update this afternoon on a machine 64 - bit Windows 7, I restarted Firefox. Immediately liked began to display warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and needed plugin container, the SVC host access and other things. Weird. So I look in the Comodo and Explorer and it says that the process runs from this path:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

  But there is no update file. This happens even when clicking on the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.

  Is this normal? It does not seem right.

  Too bad. I restarted the computer and everything seems to be back to normal - firewall and the paths are now correct. Then. anyone having this problem - try to restart the machine. Never had that after a Firefox update before so don't think of him.

• I often use Tor to surf the internet, but after that I've recently updated to 11.0 Firefox (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu 1.0) I don't know how to disable Tor or open a browser non - Tor; Tor button has disappeared from the lower right. Thank you!

  I use Firefox (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu 1.0) 11.0 in Ubuntu 10.04. Since the Firefox 11.0 update, I was unable to disable Tor, or to navigate without using Tor. There used to be a button at the bottom right which enabled me to move from a Tor enabled, but it's gone. I could find no mention of this in the Tor documentation, so I ask here in the hope that someone had a similar problem and has been able to solve.

• How to bring back the feature Fall alphabetical down from my previous research in the center of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page Google search box?

  In the afternoon of August 24, I lost a feature on my Start Page of Mozilla Firefox and I can't understand how to get it back. It is the Google search box in the middle of the page. Previously, when I want to do a search, for example Amazon, I must type the letter 'A', and because I had typed "Amazon" in this area of research before, a drop down menu alphabetical would come with "Amazon" in it. I could then click on this word without having to type the rest of it. This option no longer works.

  I did an update of Adobe Reader that Friday morning, so I thought that maybe why it happened. I did a system restore, and brings the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.

  I ran CCleaner and cleaned the registry also. Oddly enough, I found that just after that I have this and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop-down list feature is back in the center of the search for once, bar a single search. After that he went again. I'm going in and do just CCleaner (no cleaning required registry) and the same thing happens... the functionality is there for a search only.

  I went and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up-to-date. I also ran a full scan of the system, but no problem came.

  I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I don't know if the things that I tried would have helped or not.

  I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1

  I appreciate any help you can provide.

  It worked! I went in "Troubleshooting information" and click on "Reset Firefox" that solved the problem. Thank you very much.
