Intermittent Safari Lock-up; Firefox is not

• Firefox does not open Windows - intermittent - 10 pro

  Once I click on the icon to launch the Firefox browser I momentarily have the little blue icon of waiting... then nothing.
  I can use everything on the computer, including the border, IE, Chrome, and Safari.

  If I go to Task Manager it shows Firefox without activity. I can summon a number of instances of Firefox all do the same thing... nothing.

  If I finish all instances of Firefox in the Task Manager, then try to run Firefox again once it opens and works normally. I can run a number of instances, and they work as they should.

  If I normally close all instances of Firefox, they may or may not work the next time I try to run Firefox (intermittent). If the browser does not, I repeat the closing the Firefox process in the Task Manager and then reopening it... It will work then.

  I tried to do a clean install of Firefox without success. The same problem.
  The new installation of Windows 10 pro (64-bit)

  I have another laptop with Windows 10 with the same Firefox addons and same imported bookmarks etc. It works very well.

  This is puzzling?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
  

  Thank you

  Hi Fred,.

  Thanks for your quick response. I tried your suggestion, but it did not work, but you got me thinking... Thank you.

  What I did... I uninstalled Firefox and then deleted all the references in the window registry related to Firefox.
  Then, I put the edge as default browser, restarted.
  I then downloaded and did a new install of Firefox and set it as my default browser.
  Rebooted just to be sure.

  Yay! It works now.

• When I upgraded to Safari 4 to 5, I lost all bookmarks in Firefox. Import does not work; Firefox does not new bookwarks record. Suggestions?

  Under Firefox 3.6.3 and Safari for Mac OS 10.6.3. Safari4 improved to 5. Lost all bookmarks in Firefox. Import, said it worked, but nothing appears. Firefox will not add favorite not either. Suggestions?

  I guess that something is corrupted your locked your bookmarks and history file. Try the instructions available in the bookmarks and toolbar buttons not working after upgrading

  You must also switch to Mac OS 10.6.3

• Firefox will not have internet access, internet connection is ok, safari is accessed

  Address bar will accept no address. Window of Google search, either. Works in Safari, Firefox and Chrome are not.

  When did start? What version of Firefox?

  For reference, Firefox 23.0 was published on Tuesday, August 6, and Firefox 23.0.1 just came out Friday, August 16.

  The address bar works normally in Mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  If Firefox is running, you can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

  Help > restart with disabled modules

  In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

  If Firefox is not running, hold the SHIFT key when you start Firefox to get the Safe Mode dialog box.

  Any difference?

• Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OS x 10.4.11, Firefox does not open more (not same previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message "You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OS x" (translated from Dutch).

  I tried to create a new profile, the problem remains the same.

  None of the 3 accounts on this desktop computer can use Firefox. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I've updated Firefox to 8 and nothing more. Via Safari, I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

  From Firefox 4, Mac must have an Intel x 86 processor (which you do not have) and OSX 10.5 or higher (version OSX 10.4).

  • System requirements: Firefox 4 Firefox 5 Firefox 6 Firefox 7 Firefox 8

  The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still support OSX 10.4 and Mac with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that the support for Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

• Firefox does not copy, will not stick. How can I fix it?

  Firefox does not copy itself in the menu dropdown. Will not accept paste material copied Mac email, password, Safari. Without copy and paste, the browser is USELESS.

  How can I fix it?

  Problem solved with 44.0.2. All right, thank you.

• I changed my preferences of Firefox and now Firefox does not open.

  I changed my security settings and privacy and delete my cookies. When I tried to open Firefox, it would not open. I deleted Firefox to my Mac Applications, Safari used to download Firefox 42.0, and Firefox is not yet open. How can I fix? (I ALWAYS use Firefox rather than Safari.)

  Thank you. I'm fine now. I appreciate your help.

• Firefox does not start - claims that it is already open

  Firefox does not start. He claims to be already running, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

  I tried to create a new user profile, but when I try to open Firefox now, the menu "choose user profile". I tried the new profile and they old, and both give the same error message. "Firefox is unable to use the"Default user"profile because it is in use. To continue, close the Runspace of Firefox or choose a different profile. »

  There is an entry for firefox.exe in the menu of "details" to my task manager and nowhere else. When I try to put an end to this task, I get the following error: "the operation could not be performed - access denied."

  Due to some troubleshooting research, I tried to delete the parent.lock my profile folder, but I get this error: "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Firefox."

  I tried to transfer my bookmarks and preferences from Firefox to Chrome, but I had a similar error suggesting that Firefox was already open and I have to close first.

  I also turned off my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times.

  I'd really rather not lose all my bookmarks Firefox, modules, and preferences. I also prefer to use Firefox for Chrome, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try.

  My PC runs Windows 10, incidentally.

  Try to delete the parent.lock file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  See:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding

  What security software do you have?

  Try to create a new shortcut on the desktop Firefox and maybe to reinstall Firefox via a clean reinstall (i.e. remove the Firefox program folder).

  If you cannot remove the Firefox program folder and then try to rename this file to "Mozilla Firefox.old".

  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) to see if that helps.

• Firefox is not connect to internet unless the reboot

  So, recently, I had a problem with Firefox does not connect to internet unless I quit and reopen the app.
  It happens like this:
  -J' open Firefox and it works;
  -I lose the internet connection (for example, I turn off my wifi, or my laptop goes to sleep);
  -J' I reconnect to the internet.
  -Open Firefox browser will not connect to what it is and continues to load when I click a link
  -J' I need exit Firefox and restart it before starting work again.

  It doesn't go to my other browsers (Safari, Chrome), once I have reconnect to the internet open browser will just continue to work without needing to be restarted.

  Is not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying and I would like to know if there is anything I can do about it.

  This is set for your network preferences in everything: preferences #advanced

  • Advanced panel - accessibility, navigation, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox
  • Cannot find server - troubleshooting

• Firefox does not take into account the settings in/etc/hosts Mac Mavericks

  Firefox sees only the first entry, defined in/etc/hosts to 127.0.0.1.

  Basically, Firefox does not see the changes to the DNS entries, that I made in/etc/hosts. Chrome is. However, later, I noticed that Safari is not to see them. After troubleshooting below, I solved the problem by moving all my/etc/hosts statements to different lines according to them here: http://www.justincarmony.com/blog/2011/07/27/mac-os-x-lion-etc-hosts-bugs-and-dns-resolution/

  I have no idea why that works. But it does not resolve the problem for Firefox and Safari.

  I have tried a number of things according to this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011327

  I tried many things (typing about: config in the address bar):
  Set keyword.enabled false
  browser.fixup.alternate.enabled set to false
  tour of DNS caching.

  None of these things worked, but did all my config/etc/hosts the migration of multiple domains on a single line to separate lines. Hope this helps someone.

• Mobile Safari tabs of Firefox Sync

  The new Yosemite and iOS feature is very convenient. When you open Safari in OS x, you can also see the tabs open IOS. But switch to Safari so that this is not an option. Is it possible to do with Firefox? I found this: http://joshparnham.com/projects/cloudytabs/
  But have not yet tried. Easier solutions?

  Unfortunately not at the moment. Stay tuned for more impressive features to Firefox Sync. How can I set up Sync on my computer?

• BONES of Firefox does not appear correctly. It seems that the CSS and JS are not rendered. Any help would be most appreciated!

  I would have preferred someone show a screenshot of the web pages, but it is not a file attach on this forum. In any case, with only Firefox OS, not my other browsers, web pages didn't properly. For example on Facebook, there is no header or footer. JS is enabled in the browser, and like I said Chrome and Safari are NOT having problems. I'm surmising that the CSS and JS files are somehow not displayed. I can be very wrong, but I would accept with gratitude any help anyone has to offer. Thank you and have a great day!
