Updated, runs in background but the browser will not open

Firefox automatically updated today, and I restarted the browser. Or at least tried to. the process runs in the background, but the browser itself will not open at all. I am running Windows 7, and it seems, in the bar of windows, as if its going to open, but it's fading. When I went to uninstall it said that it was still running. Stopped the process, uninstalled and reinstalled, but the same problem. Cannot use troubleshooting tasks because I can't in the browser at all!

Is currently working with a secondary browser, which is fine, but I really want to back Firefox!

Firefox does not start safe mode?

  1. Click round Windows logo in the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
  2. In the search box, type firefox.exe - safe-mode and press ENTER.
  3. If small Firefox Safe Mode window opens, click the start Safe Mode button.
  4. For more details, see the problems to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode

If Firefox does not start safe mode, start the Profile Manager? If so, create a new profile and try to start Firefox in this profile.

  • Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but the browser does not open.

    This happened after the most recent update v 27. Gateway win8 running, working every day before this update, doesn't work now.

    Thanks for this information. I tried to move that file saved passwords, but while the instructions are clear... because the instructions lead in the new profile only... not how to copy files from the old profile (or maybe they did and I'm not) I think I'll just skip this step and just manually enter them as visited Web sites ask for them. .

  • Cannot run computer games of Casino II - CD is compatible but the program will not open and run.

    System shows that Casino games II is compatible with the system.  Always impossible to get from the program.  My system is 64 requires 32 to run.

    Hi Donna,.

    The CD yourself that run other games or programs - in essence, are CDs recognized beiing and works in general?  When you insert the CD, the Windows Explorer recognizes it as being there and you are able to explore the folders and files of the CD?  That is the only question when you click Run, it won't work?  Are you sure that it can run from the CD?  Maybe it should be installed on the hard disk of the computer or installed on the computer instead of clicking on run from CD.

    Another option is to contact the manufacturer of Casino II games and see if their technical assistance service or other technical support options can help you with this problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Set Windows to update automatically to IE10 but my webmail will not open in it, how do I change back?

    I'm absolutely tear my hair out. My webmail can be read in IE10 but Windows in his infinite wisdom has automatically updated and now I can't access any of my emails from the company. There was no warning for that and when you click on IE9 in the Download Center it takes you to IE10 again. I DESPERATELY need to go back or will have to start using a different browser (I have Google Chrome on my laptop at home and can access my webmail out there so I KNOW it is IE10 that's the problem). As if this isn't enough bad so they have imposed on me for my personal Hotmail account to Outlook (which is horrible by the way!). It'll be Bye Bye Internet Explorer and Hello Google / Firefox today if I can't resolve this issue in the following hour! Someone at - he found a solution to this problem yet? Help!

    Try to go in the Panel. Programs and features.  Then click on View Installed Updates on the left and then you should be able to find IE10 and uninstall it.

  • According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the section 'printers and faxes '.

    You have a printer again, with installation CD. According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the "printers and faxes" section in Control Panel. Model of printer - Epson XP-200.  Have a Dell, Windows XP.  Help!  Not even sure who to ask...

    What version of XP (Home, Pro, Media Center) and service pack (none, 1, 2, 3)?

    Printers and faxes is totally blank?

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following in the black command prompt window and press enter
    spooler request SC

    You should see something like this:
    Service_Name: Spooler
    TYPE: 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
    STATE: 4 RUNNING
    (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN
    WIN32_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0X0)
    SERVICE_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0X0)
    CHECKPOINT: 0X0
    WAIT_HINT: 0X0

    What is the 'State' displayed for you?

    Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK) and scroll down to "print spooler".  The status should be started and the Startup Type should be automatic.  What are the parameters of your correspondents?  If your print spooler is stopped, you can try to launch it by clicking on the link, but I suspect that it stops again.  Please report the results of your efforts.

  • I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.

    Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.

    I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

    I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.

  • My laptop sees my Xbox 360, but the 360 will not connect to the top of the Tower

    I have a crossover ethernet cable

    I tried everything, but the 360 will not find the network,

    It saying that he "cannot obtain an IP address form the router or modem.

    Your router or modem can be automatically assigns an ip address, you can try a static IP address instead


    DHCP Server IP address form


    Help please



    Hey tons-of-pleasure-101.

    You can set a static IP address on the Xbox 360 by going to network settings and then manually enter an IP address.
     
    (1) type cmd in the start search field.

    (2) type ipconfig/all in this window, and then press the Enter key. This will display a lot of information.

    3) take down of the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and name servers. Be sure to note which is which.

    (4) type exit in this window, and then press the Enter key to close.

    (5) once more, open the start menu. This time, click on Control Panel.

    6) click view the status of network and tasks.

    (7) select the settings of map on the left side of your screen.

    (8) make a right click on your network adapter and choose Properties to open the properties of this internet connection window.

    9) click Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then the properties button.

    Until you make changes, write down the settings you see on this page. If something is wrong you can always change the settings back to what they were! You should see a point in the obtain an IP address automatically box.

    (10) choose an IP address and type in the IP address box. The ip address that you choose should be very similar to the ip address of the router. Only the last number of the ip address must be different.

    (11) put the previously found in section mask subnet mask subnet. The default gateway should enter in the default gateway box. Enter the dns servers we prevoiusly found in the two zones on the DNS server. Completely out of this menu, click OK.

    That's all you should be done.

    Once done, you must assign a static ip address for your xbox as well.
    When you're done, between the two, the only parameter that must be different is the actual IP address. The gateway and subnet mask must be the same on your XBOX and PC LAN connection.

    Refer to this:

    Can not get an IP address from your router or modem
    http://support.Xbox.com/support/en/us/NXE/xboxlive/troubleshooting/NetworkHelp_dynip.aspx

    This should be it.
