Firefox Not Working? Suggestions?

[jackg]

I started Firefox.exe process.
I then typed tasklist into CMD (command prompt) and got back that firefox was running as a console process.
I then typed it in again (a few minutes later) and got back that it was no longer there as a running process.

Does anyone know how this occurs and how to fix it (I have used systems like symantec power erasor and virus scanner so checked if it worked by uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, ,but still no luck)?

Thanks in advance for the help, it is appreciated.

[parakeet]

Use another browser until it is fixed
Reinstall firefox
Close all process related to Firefox and try to restart

BECAUSE CHROME IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM! (I believe)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice (rebooting after uninstall).

It still isn't working.

I then tried to end the process "chrome.exe" from the command line.

I ran

Code:

taskkill /im chrome.exe /f

I got a successful removal of all 6 processes.

I then ran

Code:

tasklist

and found that it has loaded back up again.

I then tried to uninstall it andit told me to close it.

The trick with Firefox is not to upgrade right away,quite often they have a glitch that goes unknown and you end up finding out after a few days. Can always run the version you had before and that should solve the issue till any issue is fixed.
Think a few years ago Firefox made adjustments that made it impossible for people to play Travian and going back one version solved the issue till they fixed it.

Well that is problematic for me.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it as stated.
But thanks anyway.

create a new firefox profile
right click the firefox shortcut and add -p parameter on working exe

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p

I have had problems with firefox too. I noticed it had an update yesterday too. It works fine though.
Internet explorer seems not to like it too much, but when things don't work in firefox like java apps, they work fine in internet explorer. Weird.

Uninstall and reinstalling is the universal solution for all software and apps.

[Krusty guy]

Hold down "ctrl" "alt" and "del". Then click on task manager and close all Firefox and chrome processes. Remove all Firefox extensions before uninstalling it. Repeat the process with chrome.

That chrome doesn't have an uninstller (I'll have a closer look at the folder though)!

probably the problem is inside OS.
you run windows?
did you have tried chrome?

edit
try to re install your OS don't touch .exe

[jackg]

I may have something that may be something to do with the problem.

update your firefox or uninstall and install again still not working means reboot ur system.

And if you had read the entire thread, you would find I have done this!

This is a standard that everyone would run off.


The question still stands as it is still not working.

Backup your important files, reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows. Download and install Firefox using Internet Explorer. I am 100% this one will surely work.

There are like 5 or more browsers. Try some
