This morning update of Firefox has been downloaded but does not restart the laptop. He's trying to start and the lights on the keyboard. He continually tries to restart. The screen is blank. It was working fine until I clicked on restart.
PC IS A COMPAQ PRESARIO V6000 RUNNING WINDOWS XP
PC DOES NOT RESTART AFTER THE LAST FIREFOX DOWNLOAD THIS MORNING
The PC screen does not light and I think he's dead. It can be quite fortuitous, and there may be a hardware failure that he would have stopped working even without the download of firefox. I'll have to consider Repair shop and see if anything can be saved on the hard disk.
Thanks anyway
Dave

Firefox, Thunderbird and Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I left the game & click on icon to return to Firefox full screen, I could see the flash of the image to the right of my screen and disappear. When I clicked on the icon in the taskbar, the reverse happened - the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse over the icon, the open screens appear with the red X to close, but the same thing happens when I click on this box. Two other programs that have been opened, while the game was active work correctly, only Firefox has been affected. I can't open the program to access one of the menu items that I can't get the image of the screen on the monitor. I did uninstall and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy, I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run. I did chose to save my settings, so if something has changed here so maybe that's the problem.
Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
Thank you.
