When I try to open up firefox it just starts flashing like crazy, then firfox say is already running when it is not. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and it did not work. I can open internet explore

When I start Firefox, it just blinks like crazy and will do nothing. I got a message that Firefox is already running. Internet Explorer still works

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

Is a few days ago. Do not remember whether or not she began before or after I removed macafee and added norton

I don't know what could be the cause of the problem, but you can try opening FF in Safe Mode. I don't know if I can help if it does not work.

  • Treo Pro freezes when I try to open Internet Explorer

    Help! I just received the Treo Pro 2 weeks and the other day I tried to open Internet Explorer, and it froze my phone. I tried to soft resets and that thaws it enough for me to do e-mail and other applications on the phone, but every time I try to open Internet explore, it just hangs. Anyone had similar problems?

    I suggest you do a hard reset on the device to see if that fixes the problem. The case opposite and you are still within your 30 days I'd have unit replaced at the store.

    I continue to meet a pop box - up with the notification that "work may not run because of invalid destination" I have not any idea of what job does not or why they attempt to run anyway - I do not remember to initiate a process or downloads. How can I determine what the computer trying to run I can hoefully solve the problem?

    If it's something real windows then it should appear in the event log. Click Start, and then type in the event log. Begin if and look under system or application right after that the error or write at once. Once you have the found event poster here. He should tell us what ID applications.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    I think the next thing to test would that interfere with Add-ons. Disables the Firefox Add-on - Add-ons that only list compatibility with Firefox 5, but some add-ons could cause problems.

    To test, the simplest method is to restart Firefox Safe mode.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then, try help > restart with disabled modules > continue in Mode safe (do not check the boxes). This article gives more information on the options and features of Safe Mode: Safe Mode.

    What is fix? If so, you may have to disable some add-ons.
