  This can happen especially if the programs that are running on the computer leave not that I would prevent the computer to the judgment, that this can also happen due to any third party software or services, stop the shutdown process. I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure and check if it works.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. on the general tab, click selective Startup.
  3. under selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
  4. click on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

• Firefox will not close on the Mac laptop

  I had a problem and started a mysterious cleaning profile process if I remember (hours). He put a former folder Firefox data on screen then brassèrent away for so long that I interrupted him, then download a fresh copy of FF, tried to run it, but get the message "Profile missing etc.

  No menu, and I'm stuck. When I try to close/delete FF in the trash, he refuses because it is open.
  No profile is displayed when I search the library including hidden items.
  None of the solutions as stick a Kill command in the Terminal seen elsewhere works.

  Thanks Jaya.

  I gave up last night, but had one last go before before dispatch in Mac and Firefox the depths of hell.

  'Force Quit' didn't work, so I tried to copy what looked like a profile in "Old Firefox data" folder on the desktop in the folder/Library/Application Support / Firefox / Profiles.

  There was another profile folder there that I renamed it "Old etc.", then I started Firefox... and it worked!

  So I do not know if your suggestions later would have worked, but thanks a lot to them.

• Web sites will not close. How can I force them? Cannot close their or firefox.

  I have three tabs that will not close or allow me to close firefox.

  Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  To turn on safe mode

  • 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 it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

• Firefox will not allow a site to work correctly, but IE only

  I use www.teambeachbody.com for my training and my business. Firefox will not have menus to appear, and I can't click on the buttons for navigation; However, Internet Explorer * will *. I HATE the Explorer because it runs very slowly, but I don't have a choice at this point. No idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

  Start with some basic troubleshooting.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

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

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe 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 problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in 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.

• The computer date went before a day, switched back and now Firefox will not record history.

  Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

  TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.

  Hello

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

• Firefox will not hold, but shows in the Task Manager, after updating graphics drivers from AMD 13.1.

  Hello

  After update for drivers AMD 13.1 on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; It doesn't, however, appears in the Task Manager. I want to emphasize that it will boot into Windows safe mode; When I opened it in safe mode, I used this time to deactivate all plugins, modules, extensions and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in its safe mode and had no luck with that either.

  I encountered this problem once before, when trying to upgrade to an earlier version. I think I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. In the end, my solution was then to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph has not helped at that time, not do a complete reinstall.

  experience of 15 years, and that computer repair baffled me.

  Thanks to all those who might be able to help.

  Eventually the relevant specifications.

  AMD Phenom II x 4

• Firefox will not display on the screen even though with Process Explorer, I see active Firefox.exe but no CPU usage

  I use Firefox as default browser v10.0.2 on Dell XPS8300 Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 IO IO Intel Core i3 and Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (approximately 90% of attempts) that Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display on the screen when I click the icon. Cannot display other programs when it happens. I expressly say display because I believe that Firefox has started. To work around the problem, I installed Process Explorer on both machines and launch this program first, then click on the Firefox icon. When the problem occurs I see process Firefox.exe in the list of processes; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on the Firefox icon, yet another process opens in the list of processes, but with the same answer - some consumed CPU and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the process from the 1st, the 2nd poster and then everything is normal. If I do not open it treat a 2nd, but kill the 1st process then click the Firefox Firefox is displayed and all then is normal. This problem has occurred since the original on the two new machines installation. I have updated the video drivers on both computers.

  OK, let's see if we can solve this problem and make it work for you!

  First of all, if you start Firefox in safe mode (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key) it starts more reliable? This is usually caused by a defective module. If this does not help, then restart Firefox, go to the Firefox, then add-ons button and disable your extensions one by one until you find the troublemaker.

  Also, try to update to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.

  Just as a few troubleshooting steps base to ensure that we have all the bases covered,
  Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

  Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

  Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.
