Process of Firefox starts but doesn't show main window

Hello

Since a few days, I can't start Firefox. The beginning of the process, but hangs with a memory fixed space and zero CPU usage, and the main window simply will not start. No accident report is created. Kill the process and try again is the only option.

I tried to start Firefox as administrator, which works (but is not recommended from a security perspective), and the fact Firefox start when Windows is in safe mode. Firefox also starts when TrendMicro OfficeScan processes are stopped, but it is hardly a solution in a commercial environment, be admin on my machine is already a special case.

Periodically, events, Firefox starts, but the next time that the issue is back.

After trying several methods of troubleshooting, I tried to perform a clean installation, nothing helps:
-Remove Mozilla of App Data records (roaming and local)
-Uninstall Firefox
-Remove possibly remaining Mozilla Firefox in Program Files (x 86)
-Run CCleaner
-Restart
-Re-install

Currently I am looking in a procedure that could help me determine with certainty if OfficeScan is actually guilty and try to prove to my IT Department in order to the make degenerate into TrendMicro. Of course, if OfficeScan is not guilty, to find that a solution would be too perfect...

System information:
-Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
-TrendMicro OfficeScan
-Firefox latest version, 40.0.2 for the moment, the stub Installer.

An alternative to consider is the Extended Support Release (ESR) version of Firefox? It is based on Firefox 38 but receives security patches at intervals similar to the standard version. Enterprise software providers can use this trial version (I guess they test...).

You can learn more about ESE here: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/

To install it, I suggest:

Clean reinstall it

We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

(A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.2.0esr of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

(B) the release of Firefox (if any).

(C) to rename the program folder, either:

(Windows 64-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files (x86)\Fx40

(Windows 32-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files\Fx40

(D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

Install and run?

Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \Fx40\Plugins
  • \Fx40\browser\plugins

  • I wanted to install telugu typing software. but it's showing that Windows NT must be 4.0 or more.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I wanted to install telugu typing software. but it's showing that Windows nt must be 4.0 or more. What is windows nt? and where can I download it?

    original title: what is windows NT?

    Windows NT was the brand used for Windows for many years (1993-1999) before the introduction of Windows 2000, which is based on the Windows NT kernel. Initially, during development, NT (N - Ten) was a code name for a prototype initially processor that was developing at the time called i860. Windows XP, Vista and the modern versions such as Windows 7, and future Windows 8 are based on Windows NT.

    When NT came on the market in May 1993, he took on a new meaning known as new technology since it was different inside its windows 3 homologous x and later versions later as 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0.

    Windows NT is no longer available, but I don't know that you can find on auction for purchases or the "usual places" sites on the web. It is still under copyright of intellectual property, so I will not make you to all downloads.

    The software is designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows XP? Most older programs don't work with Windows 7, in particular some programs for Windows XP, can you need to perhaps upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition if you run not an edition and download the Windows XP Mode free program which will allow you run old programs:

    Run in Windows XP Mode requires:

  • Firefox starts, but cannot access any website.same issue is experienced with Chrome, not Explorer

    Hello, I have a problem with surfing with Firefox. The browser starts but cannot access any Web site. The same question is experienced with Google Chrome. However, Internet Explorer works smoothly. Thank you

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
    trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
    update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

  • Using firefox 26 beta, Windows 7; Adobe flash player11 loaded, but doesn't show is not in the list or the agifts running? I tried to recharge, help etc! not

    I run Windows 7, with Firefox (beta) charged 26. Tried to play the video "Bones" on Fox homepage and you need Adobe Flash Player (AFP). Downloaded and executed/uninstalled the AFP several times; whenever it appears on my hard drive, but it does not appear on my list of Firefox ad - ons? If I then try to play a video on Fox, it warns me that AFP is not installed? I'm frustrated - I read all posts on this problem, either something is "weird" and I missed it, or I do not understand the available corrections. I have not had any problems at all with Firefox until these latest two updates? I have not been invited to support AFP up to now - the Fox network has changed their requirement of video player? I certainly remember watching videos on their website months ago... Would be to uninstall and install a fresh copy of Firefox help? I'm grabbing at straws here... Thank you

    Hello

    According to the details of your system, you have correctly installed the latest version of Flash. A clean install (and then reinstall the Flash Player) can help as you suggest. But first, I would try to clear your cookies and cache (see below). In addition, you may need to restore the last full version, Firefox 25 until this issue is resolved.

    Note: This will be you temporarily disconnect all sites, you're connected to.
    To clear the cache and cookies to do the following:

    1. Go to Firefox > history > clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is displayed) go to tools > clear recent history.
    2. Under "Time range to clear", select "all".
    3. Now, click the arrow next to details to toggle the active details list.
    4. In the list of details, see the Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything.
    5. Now click the clear now button.

    More information can be found in article to clear your cache, history, and other personal information in Firefox .

  • HP Photosmart 3310 all-in-one does not print print test page doe but doesn't show is not black

    I have a printer all-in-one HP Photosmart 3310 that does not correctly print a test page (print color but not black) and does not print a WORD document from my computer.  The color that should be black in the test page after CLEANING print head appears as a Purple-ish Brown, although after the PRINTER SNAP the printed page shows a short BLACK bar to the left of the five longer bars in FIVE COLORS.  The computer in use is a HP Pavilion dv7 with processor Intel Core i7-3610QM, 2.3 GHz, Ram 8. 0 GB (7.9 GB available), 64-bit and Win 7 Home Premium OS, SP1.

    After having downloaded HP Print and Scan doctor, we arrived, after a series of steps to "If the cartridges have been refilled and none is empty, try calibration of color": Open HP Solution Center (start, all programs, HP, HP Solution Center), then click on settings, settings, printer Toolbox, printing on the tab device Services, click on color to calibrate.  This procedure is NOT AVAILABLE, however, because I can't find the HP Solution Center.

    What should I try to fix this problem?  Please be specific - and please also include any recommendations for a remedy that is exactly what happens if something must be verified or checked before trying the recommended remedy.

    Since the last post, I repeated the test several in Solutions of HP.  Whenever I have repeated the procedure clean print heads, improve the quality of printing in black ink a little bit.  After several passages of this test, maybe 5 or 6 more and separated by some rest of the time, the quality of printing in black ink has reached the State that I consider finally acceptable.

    A variable that I can't rule out or rule through all this is the temperature and the humidity.  It has been a winter VERY exceptionally difficult, with a lot more than zero days and subzero temperatures.  And with that comes challenges with the indoor humidity (even if we have the whole House humidification).

    In all cases, the printer now works without problem.  And I'll post that I accept the solution most recently proposed by the HP Forum.

  • Just bought it does not have Media only to convert PC recognizes but doesn't show any info

    OK, so I bought this for my husband for Christmas. I was going to download a lot of music and pictures and stuff before I sent it him. Well, I'm very disappointed. When I plugged it the first time it my computer has detected it and when I click to open it and view the files everything was... Well, I tried to add a few photos and things and discovered nothing was going to be compatible so I dissconnected downloaded the Media Converter and plugged back in. Well this time my computer says that there is some sort of error on hardware and it does perhaps not properly right now when I open the Sandisk Sansa Fuze my computer the folder is empty complelty.

    OK well though I decided to simply ignore that and try to convert some media, well I'm following the steps and everything but it won't let me click on convert it is not clickable... I'm trying to add and convert a JPEG taken with my digital camera.

    I really thought that I had stumbled on a great product after reading the reviews, but no, I'm not sure.

    Does anyone know how to solve these problems please help.

    (Music) files placed on your drive in USB mode (let's say the PSG) won't be visible by you on your computer while the player is connected to the other mode (MSC). And vice versa.

    Why it is so preferable to choose 1 USB mode and stick with it to avoid confusion. MSC works the best and easiest, unless you really have some urgent need for PSG, as DRM-encrypted files (Rahapsody, Napster) or 'borrowed' audio books from the library (Overdirve, etc.).

    It could be something else... you see a folder of MUSIC? It's usually "hidden" by default. You will connect to your computer, then open Windows Explorer and go to TOOLS, folder... Options and click the tab VIEW scroll down and check the "show files and folders.

    The cert is in use elsewhere very well.  I installed the intermediate CA certs and which shows very well.  Import the PKCS12 format file (also imported elsewhere very well).  Interface ASDM said that it has been imported "successfully."  But the cert never appears in the list of installed certificates, or it appears in drop downs to assign a cert to an interface.

    Thoughts?

    Example of configuration:

    Terminal registration

    output
