supermonk Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Well one time when I tried to go on the internet using Firefox, it brought up a window to update it. It automatically started to update itself, but sense I didn't want to at that moment I cancelled it. Ever since then firefox won't work. Whenever I try to access the internet with it, it brings up a new window and at the bottom it sais "Looking up http://www.yahoo.com" (My homepage) but yahoo never comes up and I can't go to any other websites. Is there any way to fix this? Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992. Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper.

alexrider1234 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 On your keyboard, press Control+Shift+Escape, task manager will come up, click the processes tab and then click image name (to sort them by name), look for any processes named firefox, if you find any, click the process, and then click end process for each one found. Now try to uninstall firefox, if successful, go to http://www.firefox.com, and download the latest installer, install that and when it starts running it might start downloading updates. This time round, just let it update itself, and don't click cancel. Also one tip, never click cancel when something is updating, on windows updates it could trash the entire pc, on a program updating, it could trash the program.

Now when I try to end the process of the firefox things, it sais and I quote: "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied." Alright, I restarted my computer and now it's working... I didn't even update it or anything. Whatever. Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992. Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper.
