  You can check if all updates have been installed successfully on your computer. To check

  1. click on Start Orb

  2. in the start menu search bar type Windows Update and press ENTER.

  3. in the left pane, click view update history and check if all updates are installed successfully or not.

  4. If updates failed, then uninstall it and try to install manually and check if that helps.

  Method 2:

  If this does not help, you can try to start on the last good known Configuration and check if that helps. Starts Windows with the last configuration of registry and the pilot who has worked successfully.

  Follow these steps:

  1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer by clicking the Start button, clicking the arrow next to the shut down button, and then clicking restart.
  2. Do one of the following:
     • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by stopping and restarting your computer.
     • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start, and then press F8.
  3. In the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select last known good Configuration (Advanced), and then press ENTER.
  4. If your computer has multiple operating systems installed, use the arrow keys to select the operating system that you want to start using the last good known Configuration, and then press ENTER. Windows will then resume starting normally.

• How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar?

  How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.

  I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.

  Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.

  Thanks in advance

  First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

• I get a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar in Firefox 29,0 for Mac.

  I just installed Firefox 29,0 for Mac.
  I have a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar with this new version.
  Instead of the address bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it is impossible to write anything in the address bar.
  (I add a screenshot, but I can't find a way to do it).

• Why most of the tabs open empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum ' in the address line to the restart of Firefox since installing Firefox 28?"

  I have a system dual-bootable Windows Vista SP2 and Firefox updated to 28 on both systems. Since the update of the tabs more reopen empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum" in the address line of Firefox is restarted. The tabs that open correctly seem to be those who in fact, I was at the session of prefious. I can recover the missing tabs using the Session Manager to pick up a previous session, but of course it does not pick up the tabs open in future sessions. It seems that the tabs that I go to the session recovered are saved correctly, as indicated above, but which are not revisited in the context of the use of the session retrieved will drop the URL next time that I open Firefox it again.

  jdgale:

  I don't have the time to do it. However, 29 is just around the corner and we will put in the channel of exit 29, then hope that the issue is not you.

  P.S. I had originally chosen your last answer as the solution that you have migrated more to 29 but it seems that you have taken off. I'll be marking your last answer as the solution so that we can get out of the queue.

• How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?

  Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.

  So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page

  How can I stop this now and forever?

  I look forward to your solution.

  Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.

  You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

  • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
  • the default homepage is Subject: Home
  • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

  The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

  I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

• Search through the open tabs and Windows

  I usually have a LOT of tabs open in multiple windows. Sometimes I need to find a needle tab and it is especially in a haystack. Is there a way to search for words or phrases through multiple open Firefox windows/tabs?

  Yes, simply use % somewhere in the address bar, maybe before you begin typing information specific to the tab you want.

• How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

  For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

  I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

  • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
  • Firefox reset.
  • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
  • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
  • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
  • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
  • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
  • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

  Any of these solve my problems.

  Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

  The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

  Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

  Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

  ADDITIVE

  After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

  • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
  • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
  • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

  The problem persists.

  I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

  If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

  1. Open a new tab or window.
  2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
  3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
  4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
  5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
  6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

• I do not use tabs and followed the instructions to move them to the bottom of the page, but it didn't happen, and the bookmarks toolbar is now more often absent.

  Using the 'View' menu, I'll check the bookmarks toolbar, and it will appear, disappear with the next amendment of the page. In addition to travel, or by hiding the tabs feature, there is a new toolbar Add on I want to eliminate. This toolbar for the Add - it is unchecked in my 'View' menu, but it seems in any case.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  I guess you were referring to define browser.tabs.onTop pref to false in the comments: config page.

  Current versions of Firefox only show the menu entry "Tabs" at the top menu "view > toolbars" and "Firefox > Options ' and in the shortcut menus toolbar if the tabs are not in the default position on the top.
