Error: Program must close to allow a previous installation..

[Guest]

I have the same problem, mozilla wont start even though i deleted the xpclean file.



Sometimes it works when I kill all the pending firefox process running.. it is kind of weird, sometimes it seems mozilla will start but nothing happens and it always shows the same amount of KB in the process manager 5024kb. weird weird weird..

Any suggestions?

Does the same problem occur if you start Firefox via the Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode) shortcut in your programs menu?

If so, create a new Firefox profile with a unique name and see if the problem persists in it. Don't yet delete your current profile.

Close Firefox and end tasks of any Firefox processes still running via Ctrl+Shift+Esc > processes tab or ctrl+alt+del if using Win9X.

Create a new profile (try -profilemanager if -p doesn't work)

Don't choose a profile folder, let the profile manager put the new profile in the default location!

Hi everyone,

I have a prob with upgrading since 2 months or so.
I already deleted this xpicleanup but it still doesn't work.
It's always just the same, just telling me the updates will be downloaded and installed, but I never get any confirmation and nothing looks like anything is getting downloaded, also my meter doesn't show an download activities, it's really strange to me.

Should I maybe uninstall Firefox and then simply install the latest version maybe?

Ok, I'm sure, some knows what I should do best

You're welcome.

I have only used the internal update mechanism once, to upgrade from 1.0PR to 1.0 final, it went flawlessly, but I have never really liked using any internal update mechanisms of any programs to upgrade to newer versions. I prefer the clean install approach (I reboot after uninstall and reinstall) and have never had a problem.

I just installed Firefox 1.0.6 and now everytime I try to open the browser a message comes ups saying, "Error launching browser window:no XBL binding for browser" I have tried installing the browser again but nothing works can someone please help!!

Are you using Tab Browser Extension? If you upgraded Firefox from a previous version, with that extension or another one installed that isn't compatible, that is probably the problem.
Open your Profile folder, find the chrome folder and rename the chrome folder to something else, like chrome-backup.
Close the profile folder and try to launch Firefox again.

I have a problem where all my settings have disappeared. When I downloaded 1.0.7, the installation process crashes with an error "Error-en-US Language pack-208 Invalid arguments". Setup just hangs (still running).

Any advice anyone?

I have this problem and I do have the file xpicleanup.dat but not xpicleanup.exe, which is what this thread said to delete. Deleting the dat file had no effect. Any other suggestions? I tried to uninstall and reinstall but then I get a meassae saying the unistall log file cannot be found

again, i have the same problem, but have already deleted the xpicleanup file, but still nothing happens when i try to start firefox?

-firefox.exe appears to be running as a process in windows task manager, but not as a program......i have tried terminating it but still to no avail...

If not, disable one extension at a time through tools > extensions until you isolate the troublemaker(s).

If so, create a new Firefox profile with a unique name and see if the problem persists in it. Don't yet delete your current profile.

Close Firefox and end tasks of any Firefox processes still running via Ctrl+Shift+Esc > processes tab or ctrl+alt+del if using Win9X.
