My mac reboots, even in safe mode or using my time machine backup?

When I try to install Yosemite in utilities, I don't have enough hard disk space. How can I access my hard drive?

Time Machine backups are not bootable. What happens when you try to start safe mode?

You can boot into recovery?

  • Update of FF, message says to restart to complete the previous update. I reboot with the same message. Tried to uninstall. Same message, even in Safe Mode.

    I tried to update Firefox and repeatedly getting this message: "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now? "If I click on no, nothing happens." If I click Yes, it restarts and I get the same message all over again. I tried to uninstall the program and get the same message, even in Safe Mode. I tried to start with a configuration of the previous system, but the computer would not give me the dates of previous configuration. I am running XP, and I deleted Internet Explorer, so I can't access the Internet on this computer. I tried to install the update by downloading the upgrade on another computer and transfer it to a flash drive, but I got the same results. If I go to control panel configuration/Add / Remove Programs, it says I have Firefox Version 13.0.1. For about 6 months before this incident, I get a message when I load Firefox, who said that he could not install an update attempt. If I clicked OK, at least he'd still go the old version. Now, he will do even that.

    Hello, the installation of #3 in the initial response folder is referring to the entire directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox", not any subfolder or file in particular. If the directory is still present after uninstalling firefox via the windows control panel, and then if it please delete the whole folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" & try reinstalling firefox afterwards.

  • Cannot load Disqus comments even in safe mode

    Even in Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled, I can't load the Disqus comments on any site. I also tried the activation of third party cookies and pop-up windows and ensured that all my plug-ins are up-to-date. I don't know what else to try.

    I get the message "DISQUS seems to take longer than usual. Reload? ». When I reboot, I get the same message after a few seconds. Sometimes comments flashes on the screen for a moment and then disappear.

    It's on Mac OS 10.6.8.

    Another user reported this same message. Although we have not learned the cause of the problem in this thread, you can take a look: Firefox 15.0.1 charge not disqus even in safe mode.

    Moreover, Firefox 10.0.2 has several publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities. Is there a reason you have not upgraded to 15 Firefox or another intermediate version?

  • Cannot search from the address bar or search even in safe mode

    Hello

    I can't search in the address bar or search, even in safe mode. I refreshed Firefox, delete all cookies, empty my cache, but nothing works. Also, I get a message that does not respect the firefox sync, and "this object pushed." I know that these are all different questions, but I suspect that there is a link.

    I have very limited FTP and general computer knowledge, so please take I don't know anything when he answers! Really hope you can help!

    Thanks in advance.

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • Firefox crashes at startup, even in safe mode

    Firefox has just started to crash at startup, even in safe mode.

    I also tried to create a new profile (which Firefox let me do), but it crashed as soon as I tried to use the new profile.

    The only way I could get it to start is putting him to work offline, which is obviously not very useful.

    Here are a few crash IDs:

    BP-d5fc34cb-2f6b-48CE-8327-ceb2c2151011
    BP-e2667a62-9301-414C-894e-bd5fc2151011
    BP-bce19f5e-30f5-47D8-8c48-8976b2151011

    BP-c11bab84-69e6-4516-b3a5-8f50f2151011

    The last ID is for is the first crash I got, which didn't happen at startup.

    Thanks for the tips. I still don't know what was wrong, but a restart of the computer has set.

  • Update 40.0.2 is slow, hangs a lot, even in safe mode.

    So, I tried several things in the troubleshooting here in support articles, but none solved my problems.

    Basically, after that automatically put Firefox updated to 40.0.2, the browser crashes a lot on the opening and closing of tabs, loading Web sites as well. When idle, the CPU/RAM usage is normal, but opening or closing of tabs uses a lot of CPU (most of the time, 100% of the CPU is used in navigation) and it crashes every time. Scroll to the bottom of pages also allows the browser to hang. I tried to deactivate several plugins and extensions and I even tried to use the safe mode, but even in safe mode, it happens constantly. I'll post the specs of my computer (no), but don't forget that those issues didn't happen before the update.

    Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
    4 GB OF RAM
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    GeForce 8400GS

    Please, what is anyone has found problems with this new update? What should I do? I use Firefox since 2007 and I love it, I wouldn't move to another.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    Start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) to see if it has an impact.

  • I can't start firefox even in safe mode.

    I can't start firefox. It is said that it can not load the profile. The profile files are there, I believer.
    I can't start firefox even in safe mode, by holding down the SHIFT key.
    I stopped firefox when he tried to do a refresh (it took a long time).
    So there is a record of old data that I copied the default profile folder.

    Hmm, also:

    arlener said

    .. There's a data folder I copied the default profile folder.

    If you want to use the content of the profile that you copied return, make sure that they don't are not 'nested' a layer down in the profile folder.

  • Firefox crashes (even in safe mode) constantly and use 50% CPU while doing

    I use Firefox 36.0.1 and Windows XP (32-bit version).

    Lately, Firefox made this weird thing where it stops randomly load anything, as if the connection has been broken (it isn't, any other works very well). In this case, Firefox uses 50% CPU, when it is usually revolves around, well, 0%. Restart the browser, or waiting for a few minutes "fixed" the problem temporarily. Same thing in safe mode, too.

    I have the feeling that this * might * be related to Flash, since it seems to happen more often when I am watching videos, or stream on the shaking. I tried to disable the plugin-container and update the Adobe Flash Player plugin, with little success. Malwarebytes could not find anything either, and it does not feel like a virus anyway.

    Whatever it is, I'm out of options at this point. I had a lot of problems with Firefox for a while now, especially when it comes to videos/animations (I can't play the videos of Vine.co , for example), and it starts to make it difficult for me. I really don't want to switch to Chrome, I don't trust of Google and their browser doesn't have a lot of key functions I like in Firefox (such as the sidebar bookmarks < 3), so I really hope I can get help here.

    Any suggestions?

    Chrome is a pain, I tried to go back and difficulty of Firefox (so far), and again, I think I found the problem. I should mention that I tried these 5 suggestions before, btw, and none of them got rid of the problem. Yes, even in safe mode, with a profile is empty, no plugins, no firewall and without tab, it happens again, somehow. And Yes, Chrome will work fine with Firefox running in the background, as I mentioned in my previous post.

    What he did for me was turn off Prefetching and IPv6 times in all: config, following the instructions on this this page .

    I'm not sure that one did the trick (I kinda afraid to mess with that again, but I could test if you want to, it might be useful to others), but it looks like everything is going well for the moment.

  • Text appears on sites like Google Spreadsheets, as well as all documents in PDF format is transparent, even in safe mode.

    Recently, I noticed a very strange phenomenon in Firefox. I first noticed in Google Spreadsheets; text does not appear in the cells, but if I bring you a specific cell for editing. I thought that this limitation the new Google Spreadsheets, since the former Google Spreadsheets work again normally. It's just new with this behavior.

    However, I quickly noticed that PDF files open in Firefox exhibit the same behavior. The text is not white; It is completely transparent, as it is not at all made.
    HOWEVER, if Firefox is not the point, AND a text is selected, the text renders in the selection. Posted: http://imgur.com/bWWLvLr
    ClearType in Windows does not seem to affect it, nor appears to be of my addons. even in safe mode, the problem persists.
    This problem is not present in Windows Internet Explorer, so it doesn't seem to be my system.
    I would be grateful to solve this problem, as I make frequent use of Google docs.

    That's the answer, cor - el, but it does not solve the problem.

    EDIT:
    The problem had been solved, but I was not sure what he did. It reoccured recently and I decided to investigate a little more. He seems to have had a problem with my GPU (AMD Radeon HD 6950). Update the drivers (even once, since they had been cancelled for some reason any) has fixed this problem. The previous version of the driver that had this problem was 14.4

  • I changed the settings of Java and now Firefox plant she opens up, even in safe mode; How can I fix?

    I tried to change the settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Good or bad, I changed a setting Java-1 to 2. The setting spoke in: config and I think it was some sort of max. As I can't open anything, I'm not sure.

    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, whenever I tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it hangs again immediately and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry, you have problems.

    For any future reference. Those of us who mess directly with: config soon find out how to get errors and it is wise to backup. Occasionally backup of your entire profile for example can be useful and would probably give you a quick solution of the copy on the file from the backup.

    OK on the topic to try to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the prefs.js file and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your default preferences. You can then re open and use Firefox. Then, try to return to normal.

    Try to manually change the file prefs.js is normally a bad idea. However, if this is a one-time change prefs it would be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (while Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before. You have the file renamed to work with. Probably best to test this in a new additional profile so only break you test additional essential Firefox profiles profiles works do not.

    These articles should help you:

    Please post back with how you go and if you need additional assistance.
    Good luck.

  • Firefox keep me connected to Facebook, even in Safe Mode?

    This problem has been annoys me, because God knows how long and I just can't get rid of it, at least I have reset Firefox which is really not want I want to do just to get rid of this tiny but irritating problem.

    Firefox never remembers to sign at Facebook, even in Safe Mode without extensions.

    How can I get rid of this problem? If this is not possible without reset, I would a simple and concise tutorial on how to get all my extensions and settings (though obviously not one who maintains that causes this problem). I use this Firefox profile at least a good few years and it is all set up correctly for my personal use. Thank you.

    This could be a problem with your graphics display driver.

    What graphics card to display that you have?
