Cannot Get Firefox To Open
Jan 1, 2009
This is really annoying and just started happening after i installed the latest version of direct X and a new driver for my graphics card. I can't get firefox to open.The hourglass appears and then disappears and nothing happens.Internet explorer works great. everyone is saying to make a new profile and go to run, firefox.exe P and that doesn't work because that window won't come up either. and i tried opening it in safe mode. still, no luck. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

I have set my default browser as FireFox. So the html files show the Firefox symbol. They should automatically open in Firefox.But this does not happen. When I click on the file nothing used to happen.Suddenly now it opens with IE.When I right click and click open with FireFox nothing happens.

I have recently gone through HP's repair function which wiped out almost everything but very few programs. My computer is free of viruses or spyware (Ad-aware, spybot, spyware doctor) but very few webpages such as this one, google and all associated pages, novell groupwise, baltimoreravens.com etc. I m connected through a 40-bit enabled security key to our wireless network at home and my roomate doesn't have trouble using his browsers.I can't connect to any MSN webpages, yahoo altavista and many many others.Having just rebooted much of what was left in the hard disk I doubt this is some software conflict.Most webpages just hang and return "The document contains no data". Finally, there "local area connection network cable unplugged" notification on my systray. But since I can post this I can connect online alright. What is going on, why are Firefox and IE very selctive with the pages they open ?

My ethernet input has recently been broken thanks to my Mrs, so I got an ethernet adapter which connects into the USB.Now I cant remember if I started to experience problems before or after the install...However I have experienced no end of problems recently... I cant download a file and then open it in any of the Office apps, as soon as I do, it tells me 'Notepad/Word' etc has encountered a problem and needs to close. On top of this, I cant run Firefox and if I try to click on links in my email within IE, the same thing happens.I have AVG and Malwarebytes and have ran them both and they havent picked up on anything.

I have a pen4 computer with 1 GB of memory and lots of free space on the hard drive. when I click or try to open explorer or Firefox, it just sets there for sometimes 4 or 5 minutes and then it opens. I have a cable modem with other computer on it and none of them have problems.
When I click on the Icon, the hour glass comes up for a few seconds and then goes away, there does not seem to be any activity on the HD and then it all opens and works fine until it is closed again...

I downloaded photoshop, and when I tried to install it, it says I have to be an admin. So, I logged off this account and signed in as Administrator, so when I tried to click Mozilla Firefox, it doesn't work. All it did was it came out with this : " Windows cannot find C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox exe.' Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, then click search"

On my Ubuntu systems when I'm working on something, and I try to open a new program (ie: Firefox) If I have a text editor or another program in focus, and I'm using it (ie: typing a note) then when Firefox loads it pops under my current window to avoid interrupting me. This is something I've grown accustomed to, but I cannot find a way to make Windows XP Pro SP2 behave the same way.

I am unable to connect to the Internet with IE 6, but Firefox 1.5 works fine. Pc-Cillin also does NOT connect for upgrades. Another oddity is that FTP connections in IE 6 seem to work fine.Through another forum, I found out that if I open a webpage through My Computer, it also connects just fine.

I have Windows XP Pro sp2 and use 2.0.0.14 Firefox.I like Firefox but it starts up so slowly. IE starts up much more quickly so I'm back and forth. Can Firefox's start up be made faster and if so could you please tell me how to do it?

On my IBM NetVista (First In My Computer Specs) when I am browsing with Firefox, the CPU will stay at 100% and any music I might have playing will skip like crazy. Everything basically comes to a grinding halt.Sometimes it will even delay in my typing,I have uninstalled, then installed Firefox with no luck. The machine is plenty capable (2 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM-see CPU Specs Icon for more),without much running in the background, so why would it be like that?

when I clicked on a link from Windows Live Messenger, not firefox came up, but IE6. I was a bit surprised, and checked the settings, but Firefox was still the default browser. Since then, every links from an other application (WLM, Google Talk, ...) open in IE. I want every links to be opened in firefox.

I recently reformatted my machine 3 times and every single one of those times something really odd has happened. Basically after a clean install and installing a nic so I could jump on the net, I would instantly go to Tomshardware.com with a fresh Internet Explorer and try to login but I get the error of:Error: Your browser cookies are not active. This is usually due to:(a) you have changed your browser cookie settings, in this case reset your browser cookie settings to their default configuration(b) you are running firewalls such as ZONE ALARM.In this case,adjust your firewall settings to allow cookies.

My active browser is FIREFOX. Though I have installed IE in my XP. The problem is when importing bookmarks from Firefox to IE, I follow the wizard installed for this purpose at XP, and though the result is shown succesfull at the end this flag pops up: "ERROR CONVERTING BOOKMARKS" . I have tried both ways: Exporting from Firefox and importing from IE and the result is always the same. "ERROR CONVERTING.

Keep getting "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close." (Firefox annoyingly then shuts down) message after I start a search in either Google or Yahoo. This problem is new; just started after the November MS critical updates were installed last week. Google and Yahoo continue to work in IE. What security changes has Microsoft made that seems to only affect Firefox? My OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2 and I'm using the latest version of Firefox. How do I fix this problem? It is very annoying to have to switch to IE every time I want to do a search using Google or Yahoo.

Just to start off with, I searched the forums and came up with this thread which seemed related to my problem but didn't solve it:Just finished moving and unloaded my computer yesterday. Everything is running fine but for some reason Firefox doesn't want to load a lot of images from different web pages So far I've noticed it specifically on IMDB.com and Fotki.com.It has also happened on some other random pages but I can't think of them offhand.If I open the exact same page in IE it loads almost instantly. Like I mentioned earlier, I followed the advice in a different thread an cleared the cache and history to no avail. Using Firefox 1.0.6 and XP SP2.
