Author Topic: Firefox broke, Halp.  (Read 1780 times)

OK, So my sisters are pretty much insecure bitches, They blame me for the computer being slow because I install "stuff".

So they have this thought in their minds that it's firefox making the computer slow, and they wanted me to uninstall it, I never did, So they Uninstalled it while I was sleeping.

So I installed it again just now, But for some reason, Firefox won't start anymore, I've installed it 3 times and It still wouldn't work, Can someone tell me what I can do to fix it?

Trying running it from the actual program file, Not sure if it will work.
Are there any error messages that appear or is it just not coming up.
Does the process start?

No, Nothing is coming up, No process, No Firefox window, Nothing.

First, slap your sisters so you gain control over them. You know the computer, they don't.

Second, try running without Add-Ons or in FireFox's Safe Mode.

Lastly, restart.

My mother says the computer runs slow because fo the same reason. Women in general do not know stuff about computers because they do not know any thing besides socializing and posting 2 bit pics of themselves. They expect all computers to run like god computers that can play crCIA on maximum settings and still run photoshops 100 internet browsers and various other things. Yes some know how to use them but that again is till a1 in 500 chance in finding them.

Reinstall your OS. That'll give your sisters something to bitch about.

Password EVERYTHING on the computer, everything needs a different password to open. That'll shove a potato up their tailpipe. [color=FF0000](LOL that sounds WRONG!)[/color]


I'm suspecting that they may have just deleted the folder in program files instead of a proper uninstall.
this could cause it it to forget up when attempting to bring it back.
-in this case, do a search for "firefox" and deleted folders from "application data" and "local settings" in my "home directory"

then i would attempt to first install an older version
i would try installing it on another drive
enter "firefox" in the console
if your using ubuntu i would have sudo apt-get solutions
try installing in safe mode


or maybe none of it has anything to do with why it wont work

Run Ccleaner after getting rid of it again and delete any trace of it then reinstall.

If you are running vista its a pain in the friggin ass to reinstall something.

If you are running vista run it as administrator and that should work and if you dont want it uninstalled there are methods of locking it which i think you should try.

Reinstall your OS. That'll give your sisters something to bitch about.

Yes. Then make it so they need a password to even start up the computer or log on.


Reformat, or at least run defrag.
