I don't know whats wrong with my Firefox but it won't even open at all. I tried to fix a bug and it went totally wrong. So, I decided to use Flock as my browser of choice since I haven't gotten any errors. Firefox works fine on my other computer but on this computer it don't work at all. At least I am not using Internet Explorer or a clone of it......
Remove any new plugins/add-ons you've added, or run Firefox in Safe Mode to see if it's plugin/add-on's related:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
If that doesn't work:
-
What I’d attempt to do in this exact order if you really would rather use Firefox, would be:
- Copy your Firefox bookmarks file bookmarks.html located in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Profile Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Random Firefox Profile Folder Name' to a safe location such as My Documents and rename the bookmark to: Firefox Bookmarks
- Uninstall Firefox.
- Open the Program Files folder and delete the Mozilla Firefox folder if it's left over.
- Open 'C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Profile Name\Application Data\Mozilla' and delete the Firefox folder.
- Open 'C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Profile Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla' and delete the Firefox folder.
- Run CCleaner's Registry cleaning until nothing comes up. Also run any other registry cleaners you have, and remove all Firefox related items that turn up.
- Restart Windows (maybe not necessary, just a precaution).
- Download Firefox, and install it.
Effectively just doing a clean install “may fix the issues.” If this doesn’t work follow the above removal instructions again then enjoy using Flock, or any other browser you choose.
