firefox wont open.

[coddie]

hi there, can anyone help on this, its really frustrating, as i only really use firefox and all my bookmarks that i had are, i hope, not gone. first of all this is the error i get when i try to open firefox:

this application has failed to start because js325.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem (it dosen't)

so ive tried a few things, re-installing, thats without deleting - no joy there

went back three days on system restore - still wont open but the error does not seem to come up at this point.

from there i tried to start firefox in safe mode - still nothing

then i deleted the program totally and re-installed - nothing again

it just doesn't respond when i double click the firfox icon. yet when i go into the task manager eace time it is running, or at least there is firefox in there, whether anything is happening or not i dont know.

i forgot to mention that i was trying to download a plugin for playing embedded windows media player in firefox, after that the problem seemed to be there

thats all the info i have no, well all i can remember anyway.

i hope somebody can help. or at least help me to recover my bookmarks, so i could transfer them to IE or some other browser

thanks in advance

patrick

Try downloading the new firefox beta. I used to have a problem with Firefox not opening, and I believe that solved it.

Just google "download" "firefox beta 2"

should my bookmarks still be there after i d/l beta

it does, thanks for that, and all my bookmarks are there still which is a big relief.
id still love to know why it happened though. have you had any problems with it being beta version?

i think ill be putting all my bookmarks into IE now as backup, will save me a scare if it happens again

Yes they should be.

is there any way of copying all my bookmarks and passwords to IE in one go?
