I booted up my Macbook Pro laptop this afternoon, and tried to open Firefox browser from the desktop icon, but it kept coming back saying it was 'Not Responding', and that was only after realizing the double-clicking the icon did nothing at all....
I ended up having to reboot the device a couple of times, and finally had ot right click the icon, and choose 'Open' to get it to even start to work??
This should not have anything to do with permissions, as I have not changed anything since last night, when I shutdown the device, but I am confused constantly by how complex, for no good reason, Macintosh computers are, and would appreciate someone explaining this to me please.
I do not want to have to get in touch with Apple Support for this issue, because they have you reset everything over and over again to troubleshoot, and then inevitably come back with a fix that only works temporarily. Can someone here tell me what could be causig the browsers on this laptop to constantly be screwing up??
Thanks in advance!!
