Why Firefox only opens after update? Told to close, but how?

Windows 7. Attempted to update Firefox later today, but it does not work on my screen. When I try to use the previous version or remove it, he first shut it down. How can I close that I can't see? Thank you.

See:

Try to run the program Firefox once as an administrator (right click firefox.exe: run as administrator).

If this does not solve the problem then delete the program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) Firefox to do a clean reinstall.

One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Why Firefox always opens with the last session tabs?

    When I open firefox always opens with the last session tabs? How can I solve this problem?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • Firefox only opens, even after re - download

    I downloaded again. The suggestion given to repair the problem seems to be based on a Firefox window, and mine won't. I had a slow hourglass flashing but nothing open, now at all, nothing happens.
    I clicked on the tool troubleshooting-1. 1A - fx.xpi file and nothing opens; window, said to search the web to find a way to open it. I have tried that in the past in other situations with no good result, so I don't bother.
    For some mysterious reason, its opening after I entered in the above, but after closing, it will not re - open.

  • Cannot open after update to v 30.0

    I run Windows 7 and cannot open Firefox after update to v 30.0. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times without success. I do, however, show: firefox.exe * 32 in the section of the Task Manager processes. No browser opens and the only way to "kill" for uninstalling I did was to "complete the process"; Right-click on the icon in the bark of the task and clicking the X did not a thing.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    It would open in safe mode, but when I tried several times, it will sometimes 2 or 3 tries to work, with each attempt showing the firefox.exe. * 32 under the Task Manager processes. I ended up resetting Firefox and it now opens normally - I have to rebuild my extension library, etc. Thanks a lot for your help! I really missed FF!

  • Firefox only opens - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in effect on this account... »

    I can't open firefox - everytime I try I get the above error message. It started after no apparent change or updates to my system, just a normal life stops. I tried to change the .htm, .html etc. register file names and reinstall as suggested, but it does not work. The only way I can open firefox after I reinstalled and it automatically launches a browser.

    I can open firefox in a new user account that suggests something has changed in the account that I usually use, but I have no idea what since I didn't do myself any changes and you see nothing that suggests that it blocks firefox to open. I ran a virus scan and it is to come clean.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be very grateful for help.

    Thank you.

    Thank you both for your responses. I had tried all possible ways of opening firefox, including the direct use of firefox.exe and had also tried the suggestions in the link above, but had previously worked.

    Having lived every suggestion I could find about the problem I'm afraid, I gave up looking and did a system restore that solved the problem!

  • Can not change the language of Firefox in English after update

    I've updated Firefox on behalf of my daughter, who is French, then returned to my own account, which is in English on the same computer Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and opens Firefox. He had updated it is also good, but in French, and he won't go back to English. I even deleted the French as an option in the preferences-content-language Options page and restarted the computer. Charges still in French. My children know French, but I didn't, so it is a pain in the thigh. How can I fix it?

    Better would be to install the Firefox en-US or en - us version and install the French language pack in the profile of your daughter and only update of Firefox in your account on future opportunities. You need to reinstall the language packs after every update.

    You can find the latest version of Firefox here:

  • Why Firefox will allow me to have several tabs, but not allow me to switch between tabs and can only watch a new tab when closing the previous?

    Everytime I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab does not open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get a new tab is to close one on that I am currently, and even then it will only open the next tab in the order of precedence, so I can't even choose which tab is next to see. This problem makes it impossible to use firefox as a research tool that requires quick change back and forth between pages in multiple tabs at the same time.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start 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. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    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. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Why Firefox guard open a new window a lot when you click on a tab to open it.

    Firefox guard open a new window every time when I click on a tab to open it. Happens quite a few times per day now and it's annoying.

    Versions of Firefox 3.5 and later have a feature called tabs.

    You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.

    You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

    bug489729 (Disable detach and tear off tab):

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    I have recently started to receive bank statements in the form of PDF files - can open and read files fine, but how can I save the files to a folder on my computer?

    The best way is to right click (Ctrl-click on Mac) on the url that you use to save the file on your computer. If you have a pdf file open in your browser, move your icon to the bottom of the screen, there should be a contextual toolbar. Click the floppy disk icon to save the file.

  • Why Firefox run/open to all, any how I try to start, after being updated to v41.0.1?

    After the update for Firefox 41.0.1, yesterday I'm not able to start or open Firefox. My operating system is Windows XP. I have received no error messages and have no reason to think that the update failed. I scanned my computer several times and have no reason to think that I have no viruses/malware/etc... All other browsers are functioning normally and my computer does not have other symptoms that I noticed.

    A window saying that Firefox would be updated after its restart or the next time I opened it, and I shortly thereafter turned off my computer. When I turned it back on and tried to start Firefox, nothing happened. I tried to open it via the Run..., by clicking the shortcut on the desktop, by going to the Firefox folder and try to start from there, and every other way that has been suggested by several pages here. Nothing works. No matter what I do, the Task Manager shows never firefox.exe is running. As a result, I couldn't try all alternatives that rely on my being able to use Firefox in some way. However, I tried all the other suggestions. Nothing has worked. I can not yet use the Profile Manager; When I try, nothing happens. Like most pages sternly warn me that reinstall or downgrade Firefox will either do nothing, or be dangerous, that I have no idea what else to try. I suppose that, at this stage, that means probably I'm missing something obvious, but I still have no idea what I might be missing.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help! It is GREATLY appreciated.

    Hi, take a look at this first - Firefox does not start - solutions, but if anything can help, it may be that this can be resolved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

    To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

    ).

  • Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    • Windows:

      • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
      • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
    • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
    • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  • Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
    2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
  • More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Why is my Firefox background rose after update and the pallets in the options contain ONLY shades of pink?

    After the update by 12.0, my browser changed to rose. Try to change the colors of return (after reading the forum posts), I discovered that the pallets were entirely pink.

    I start Firefox in safe mode and the rose disappeared, suggesting that one of my modules was to blame, but after disabling all the one at a time (except for the theme by default.. .the one I have) the rose remained.

    Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration?
