Firefox magically stopped working tonight. Based on reading help files and past forum posts, here are things I've tried with no luck:
Note: Running Windows 7
- Rebooted (of course)
- Uninstalled through the task manager and reinstalled.
- Uninstalled and deleted the C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox directory and reinstalled
- Once reinstalled, attempted to start in safe mode via holding down Shift while loading
- Attempted to start in safe mode by attempting to type many things in the run window:
Firefox -safe-mode
Firefox /safe
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
- Attempted to add a new profile by typing in the Run window (after reinstalling):
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P
None of these solutions have had any results. No matter what I do, no Firefox related windows will come up and I get no error messages of any kind. Most of the time I at least get a busy cursor for a second and a firefox.exe process will start. I've kept the Task Manager open through most of the attempts and killed firefox.exe between all different attempts. Most everything I do will still open a process (I have two of them still running right now) and I kill all of them in between attempts, not to mention shutting down. I even did a hard battery pull on my laptop just to be sure. I'm not making any headway. If I could at least get an error message that would be nice, but I get nothing at all. Any other suggestions?
