Yesterday it opened normally, today it won't, as said above.
I tried renaming the Mozilla Firefox to OldFirefox, and clean install, still won't work.
When trying to open in safe mode, window open but then says : Not responding, and it jam like this.
I even tried to report my 5 latest bp- and it still wasn't conclusive.
Any answer somebody?
BTW my computer is a MacBook Pro with Windows 7 32 bits Legit Boot Camp, si maybe it does make a difference.
My Internet Explorer work, thought.
Thanks!!

For days, every time I have started Firefox, it asked whether I wanted an update. Every time I clicked Yes to update Firefox, the update failed. So I found the Mozilla site for installing the latest version of Firefox. The installation seemed to go fine, but Windows 10 now gives the following message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I see nothing unusual in the Properties for what seems to be the Firefox executable. Of course, I can switch to GoogleChrome, but I prefer Firefox; in addition, all of my Firefox bookmarks are now gone.
Solution to these problems?

Firefox will stop responding, suddenly all of my OS (Windows 10 Pro) will simply stop, freeze, a warning will come up that the program is not responding and if I wait longer it may respond again, the CPU light that it is doing its thing on my laptop goes dead, the only way I can get to use my laptop again is by hard resetting it holding the power button. This happen multiple times a day, and only while browsing using firefox.
It is my preferred browser, but I have noticed its quality to degrade as time goes by.
Linux/Ubuntu and Windows: creating firefox profile for different users from command line

Hi, I would like to create from command line by using the administrator user of a system the same firefox profile with plugin and customization for each user of the same system. I cannot use sync feature for this purpose.
I know from here edit https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...d_Line_Options https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options ~J99that the correct syntax is the following firefox -CreateProfile "JoelUser c:\internet\joelusers-moz-profile".
On Linux/Ubuntu the following piece of code allows to create a profile for the sudo user
user=$(sudo logname)
firefoxProfile="/home/$user/.mozilla/firefox"
if [ ! -d "$firefoxProfile/m4v6pi7q.profile" ]; then
rm -rf $firefoxProfile
firefox -CreateProfile "profile $firefoxProfile/m4v6pi7q.profile"
7z x -y ./m4v6pi7q.profile.7z
mv ./m4v6pi7q.profile/* "$firefoxProfile/m4v6pi7q.profile"
sudo chown -R $user:$user "/home/$user/.mozilla/"
rm -rf m4v6pi7q.profile.7z m4v6pi7q.profile
fi
On Windows the following piece of code allows to create a profile for the administrator user
$ProgramsPath=${env:ProgramFiles}
$FirefoxProfile="$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\u9w6vbcj.profile"
if(-Not (Test-Path $FirefoxProfile))
{
$LocalProfile="$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*"
if(Test-Path $LocalProfile)
{
Remove-Item $LocalProfile -recurse
}
$RoamingProfile="$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*"
if(Test-Path $RoamingProfile)
{
Remove-Item $RoamingProfile -recurse
Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini"
}
& "$ProgramsPath\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateProfile "profile $FirefoxProfile"
& "$ProgramsPath\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y .\u9w6vbcj.profile.7z
move .\u9w6vbcj.profile\* $FirefoxProfile -force
Remove-Item .\u9w6vbcj.profile.7z
Remove-Item .\u9w6vbcj.profile
}
How can I create firefox profiles from a sudo/administrator user for each user (sudo/administrator and not sudo/administrator) of the system? On Linux/Ubuntu I tried with this code
usersList=$(getent passwd | grep -vE '(nologin|false)$' | \
awk -F: -v min=`awk '/^UID_MIN/ {print $2}' /etc/login.defs` \
-v max=`awk '/^UID_MAX/ {print $2}' /etc/login.defs` \
'{if(($3 >= min)&&($3 <= max)) print $1}' | \
sort -u)
for systemUser in $usersList; do
echo $systemUser
firefoxProfile="/home/$systemUser/.mozilla/firefox"
firefox -CreateProfile "profile $firefoxProfile/m4v6pi7q.profile"
7z x -y ./m4v6pi7q.profile.7z
mv ./m4v6pi7q.profile/* "$firefoxProfile/m4v6pi7q.profile"
chown -R $systemUser:$systemUser "/home/$systemUser/.mozilla/"
rm -rf m4v6pi7q.profile.7z m4v6pi7q.profile
done
but it does not work and this is the output
sudo ./user.sh
foo
Success: created profile 'profile /home/foo/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile' at '/home/foo/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile/prefs.js'
admin
Success: created profile 'profile /home/admin/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile' at '/home/admin/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile/prefs.js'
jack
Success: created profile 'profile /home/jack/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile' at '/home/admin/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile/prefs.js'
chown: cannot access ‘/home/jack/.mozilla/’: No such file or directory
zorro
Success: created profile 'profile /home/zorro/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile' at '/home/admin/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile/prefs.js'
chown: cannot access ‘/home/zorro/.mozilla/’: No such file or directory
Why for the first two users is the directory for profile corretly set, while for the other is the directory of the user that executes the script /home/admin/.mozilla/firefox/m4v6pi7q.profile? I'm sorry for my very long question. Thank you

I rebooted my computer last night, when I opened firefox afterwards, it just hangs. I cannot open a web page, I cannot open options, my book marks do not show up until I deselect the option to show, then enable, but nothing loads. I cannot close firefox unless I go into task manager to end it. I have sent 2 bug reports under this email address. I cannot open in safe mode by holding shift and clicking but was able to under the ? menu. No change in safe mode, just continuously loads.
I.E. and all other internet based programs work just fine.
Windows 10 pro AMD 6300 6 core processor 16GB RAM 64 bit OS Norton 360 (have had on and not changed for years).
Let me know what other information could help.

Firefox suddenly stopped working today. When I open it, it tells me that it's already open (which it isn't) and that it can't find or load my profile. If I go directly to profiles and create a new one, I can open it, but all my bookmarks are gone. And then if I close and try to reopen it, the same thing happens--I can't open it and get the same error message.
One thing I figured out is that the profile can’t be read only, and I discovered that mine was (why I don't know), but when I try to uncheck read only, it instantly reverts back to read only, which is weird.
I’ve tried reinstalling Firefox several times, but it’s always the same, even with a brand-new installation, I can’t open it and get the same error message. What can I do if reinstalling doesn’t even work?

Have recently purchased new computer running windows 10. Firefox is using extreme cpu. 100% most of the time and seldom less than 20%. To use computer have to shutdown Firefox. Have just installed Google Chrome and it behaves as you would expect. Seldom over 80% and dropping to nil. So problem is within Firefox. Prefer to use iot but currently unworkable.

Firefox will not start. It claims to be already running, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have tried creating a new user profile but when I try to open Firefox now, the "choose user profile" menu pops up. I have tried the new profile and they old one, and both give the same error message. "Firefox cannot use the profile "Default User" because it is in use. To continue, close the running instance of Firefox or choose a different profile."
There is an entry for firefox.exe in the "details" menu of my task manager, and nowhere else. When I try to end that task, I get the following error: "the operation could not be completed - Access is denied."
Due to some troubleshooting research, I've tried deleting the parent.lock file from my profile folder, but I get this error- "the action can't be completed because the file is open in Firefox."
I tried transferring my bookmarks and preferences from Firefox to Chrome, but I got a similar error suggesting that Firefox was already open and I would have to close it first.
I have also turned off my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox multiple times.
I'd really rather not lose all of my Firefox bookmarks, add-ons, and preferences. I also prefer using Firefox to Chrome, so if anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try.
My PC runs Windows 10, by the way.

HI, I've been having this problem with Firefox for the last two days. It does not display context and formatting of websites like Reddit, Mozilla, and sometimes YouTube. It has said many times that websites like youtube have an untrusted connection, and shockwave flash crashes. I tried uninstalling , cleaning, and reinstalling Firefox, I tried repairing it also.. I updated java, Flash, and shockwave. Did a complete scan of my computer with my Antivirus and Malwarebytes.
None of these problems are on Chrome or Edge.

So this has been happening for a bit. I have the most recent Firefox update: 46.0.1 as of 5/14/16. However, the Mozilla website says that I'm using an older version of Firefox and that I should update. This wasn't too annoying until Google started saying that my browser was unsupported. I've tried updating all my plugins and uninstalling unsupported ones. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from my computer. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is with the program. I have Windows 10 if that has anything to do with it, but my guess is it might have something to do with the settings. I don't know though. Please help before my browser stops working!

Topic title covers most of it.
Basically:
A few days ago, Firefox started running extremely slowly. Tabs take considerably longer to load, the browser becomes laggy when it tries to load anything, and attempting to open multiple tabs at once leads to Firefox becoming completely unresponsive for some time.
Attempting to refresh had no effect. Safe mode made it run at full speed, but disabling all add-ons did nothing under normal circumstances. Disabling hardware acceleration caused Firefox to go from "unusable" to "frustratingly slow". Disabling WebGL had no appreciable effect. Installing new drivers for my processor and graphics card had no effect. Restarting my computer had no effect. Removing cookies had no effect. Clearing the cache had no effect. Disabling Sync had no effect. Reinstalling Firefox by renaming the old install to "Old Firefox" had no effect.
I'm using Firefox 46.0.1, 64 bit.
I can't provide info on my plugins right now, as I'm posting this in Chrome because of how slow Firefox has become.
A speccy snapshot of my computer is right here: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/vUlsCY1KK83gUZAKOebuwys

Hi,
I did a complete uninstall of my Firefox (including the data stored in the /appdata/ folder) after a Unity-based app I've been using through the browser stopped working and re-installing the Unity web engine didn't solve the problem.
However, after I re-installed Firefox, I couldn't open any page (including the firefox pages) or, frankly, use the browser. Is there any fix for this?
Attached are the screenshots of what the browser looks like when booted in safe mode. Normal mode looks the same.
