When you try to click on firefox I get a message, firefox is already running and asks me to shut it down. I have no other programs running. I can not even firefox Google chrome or internet explore.

I have recently updated for firefox 3.6, I think that the inability to access firefox began after that. I'm worried if I have lost my favorites.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

Since last week, when I try to click on firefox

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; Chrome/5.0.375.99 en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/533.4

While working with Firefox, a new window pops up often behind of a site that I didn't ask.
If I close Firefox so the next time I want to start over, he said that it is already open, but I can't access it. I have to restart the computer. Very annoying.

  • When you try to reset or uninstall I get a message saying I have to restart to complete the installation of a previous version. Any suggestions?

    After downloading v25.0.1, FF has been slow. I tried the reset, but it would give me the message that I have to restart to complete the installation of a previous version. I tried to uninstall, but the version on the list was v 21. I received the same message when you try to uninstall. I want to upgrade to v 25.0.1, but something prevents the process.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Make sure that your security software (antivirus) is not blocking files, preventing Firefox update all files in the Firefox program folder.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • BlackBerry smartphones when you try to make a call, I get this message: "unable to connect. Call in progress"

    Until a few days ago this phone has worked in the car (Bluetooth) and elsewhere.

    Suddenly, when I was in the car with the phone, I got a call that I could not access. I tried to connect, but the device did not respond.  However, I could cut an incoming call.

    Subsequently, and still in the car, every 10-15 seconds the phone rang again.  Each time, I was not able to accept the call but managed to put out of service.

    This continued for a while until I've finished my trip.

    Later, I managed to stop the ringing by cutting the storm.

    Subsequently, I was unable to make any calls or receive all.  I get the message: "unable to connect. Call in progress".

    I called the storm of my fixed line and it does not sound.

    A problem really disturbing last night was the alarm.  That has been fixed at 5:00 this morning so that I could watch the broadcast eligible Grand Prix.  He didn't ring and went to rehearsal still sounds do not.

    Why my previously sensitive phone suddenly disappeared into pieces?

    You are welcome.

    Good luck.

  • HELP Please: problems connecting to Google Chrome or Internet Explorer: think it has to do with my network cards

    My computer works perfectly except that I can't connect to the internet using Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Internet works fine.  I have another computer that is connected to the same network, and it works fine.  Also my signal strength is optimal. When I try to go on Google Chrome, it says that the web page is unavailable & the reason why is error: 105 (net: ERR_NAME__NOT_RESOLVE) the server is not found.  When I try to use the Internet, I get this message:

    Device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31)
    I've tried everything and looked at other forums. I went into Device Manager and tried to update the driver, but whenever I do it just says that all updates are already made.
    I really feel that my problem has something to do with network cards. When I go to Device Manager and discovered the network adapters 13 different adapters appear. The 1st is Atheros AR5007 802. 11b / g Wireless Adapter and it looks like it works very well but there are 11 different (Microsoft 6to4 adapt #10) (all have different # s, 10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,20,5,9) there is (NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller)
    I think the problem is with the Microsoft 6to4 adapters because win I right click & then click on PROPERTIES of each adapter says: State of the device, this device is not working properly because windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) So, is to "find solutions", says & when I do that nothing happens, a message flashes on the screen that says: "Could not load driver software" and that windows is looking for information, but nothing ever happens.
    Can some1 please help me! My computer worked fine and both Google Chrome and still worked and then out of the blue it just stoped working. Any information would be very useful

    wisports,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    You have found the source of your problems.  You must remove or uninstall, all the cards of 6to4.  Also delete everything that said map Tunnel or card miniport WUN.  Also uninstall or disable, Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) Properties tab on existing network cards.

    Once you have done these things, restart the computer and make sure that the 6to4 adapters does not return.

    Let us know how it works for you.

My laptop came with Microsoft Office 2007 TRIAL version, but I already had Microsoft Office Pro 2003, so loaded on when I got it almost a year ago.

    I respectfully disagree with you about Firefox...

    The code of Firefox is so bad that I only use it as a last resort. Constantly, it crashes and has done this on several PCs in 2 or 3 years.

    In any case thanks for the suggestions, but it turned out malware that Panda deleted.

    If Firefox is a 'last resort', why you use it to check your emails? Do you use Google Chrome to access Google mail? I've never had problems with Firefox, then maybe I'm just lucky.

    Added the: Chrome and IE are coded by companies funded by programmers. Firefox is a program open source funded through donations to not-for-profit, which means that's what users are doing. If the 'bad code' is probably just different, not bad.
