Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

(If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the Mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + holding the key SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the menu option help and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

Do not choose anything at the moment, just use "" boot mode safe. "
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you are using the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).

    You can see the difference if you use Alt + F to open the file menu and other menus such as the Edit (Alt + E) menu and the menu bookmark (Alt + B) and compare that to what you see, if you use the mouse to open the menu after the bar of menus visible by typing Alt or by pressing F10.

  • Closed Firefox tabs without giving me a warning, even if I have checked "notify me when I close the tabs.

    So far, Firefox always pop - up would be the "danger; you are about to close x number of tabs"window when I tried closing Firefox with several tabs open. Today, however, it just closes directly on my desktop, regardless of the number of tabs are open. "Warn me when I close the tabs" checked in my menu "Tab of Options", but this still does not work. I always get warned if trying to open too many tabs at once, but he refuses to tell me when I close my tabs.

    I tried checking and unchecking options, restart the computer, checked my plugins for exceeded those (the only potential problem is Shockwave Flash 17, but the other options to aide said Shockwave Flash 16 was the problem), sought user.js and went almost all the suggestions on the forums. Nothing's worked, and at this point I'm stumped.

    (Also, I'd rather have Firefox clear my history when I go out, so just having my restored tabs when I restart Firefox is not my preferred option).

    This problem started this afternoon; It was fine earlier in the day. This is due to an update of windows, an update of Firefox, or some strange virus?

    THE SECOND UPDATE: I managed to locate the problem. Tab Mix Plus add-on is apparently not compatible with the latest Firefox update. Turn it off seems to have solved the problem for now.

  • Unable to convince Firefox close several tabs without asking confirmation

    Using Linux Mint 13 Maya with Firefox 35.0.1. If I try to close firefox after having several tabs open, I get the message "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? Check "do not ask next time" has no effect. Next time, he will do the same boring. Went to preferences, tabs and found the box checked to "warn me when closing multiple tabs". Not checked the box, it remains unchecked, but I always get the same annoying message whenever I try to close several tabs. I really don't understand why this might be a desirable feature. I hate a computer program trying to do my thinking for me! Yes hell I want to close all tabs, I clicked on the 'X', I don't? I despise also semi-automatic and almost all the other annoying features trying to do my thinking for me - especially those that I can't turn it OFF. I want my PC to do exactly what I said, LOL!

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

  • After updating firefox 31: whenever I got close a tab, instead of closing, it opens a new tab to the right

    Just updated Firefox to update from 28 to 31. Now, every time I close a tab (by clicking the x to the right of the current tab), rather than close this tab, it opens another tab just to the right of the tab I'm closing. Subsequent attempts produce the same result... with a series of new tabs, building to the right of the current tab with every click. Only way to close the tabs must leave and then re - open Firefox, but the problem continues as before.

    Until I can find a solution for this, I want to go back to 28 - is this possible and if so, how?

    TIA

    Update: Firefox updated itself, it only is complaint not on the current versions of the Add - ons installed.

    On a whim, I went to Tools/Add-ons and noticed that one point, Tab Mix Plus, indicated that there is an update available. Once this update has been installed and restarted FF, the problem no longer existed.

    Problem solved by installing the 0.4.1.4 TMP!

    NOTE: Maybe the FF 31.0 update process should be amended to flag Tab Mix Plus versions prior to 0.4.1.4 when it verifies the compatibility of the add-on.

  • In Firefox 29 Center by clicking at the top of a tab in a zoomed window will open a closed tab previously instead of close the tab you clicked on

    In Firefox 29 Center by clicking at the top of a tab in a zoomed window will open a closed tab previously instead of close the tab that you clicked.

    Is this expected behavior? And if so is it possible to turn it off?

    Thank you

    Middle-clicking on a tab the farm, any means - by clicking on an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.

    A different behavior is probably caused by an add-on like Tab Mix Plus tab-based. If you are unsure if you have a such add-on, restart Firefox with disabled modules and check if the problem persists.

  • Firefox closes the tab bad while closing several pages.

    It is really hard to describe... OK, let's say I want to look for the logo of firefox via google images. I found a lot of interesting and open results in different tabs. Now, I found a picture that I really like and close tabs that I no longer need. I'm not to change tab active and just pressing cross to close inactive tabs desired. I'm worried for my time and do it automatically fast. After the closure of 2 strips, third tab closes not only itself but it makes my close active tab also.

    This produces no matter what pages I use, how many are open, memory usage, etc.. It happens no matter what. There are only 2 terms I need to answer:
    -Close tabs that are inactive
    -Make fast

    I would really appreciate some help with my problem because the tab is usually accidentally crash the tab with a lot of text changed. You can imagine how disappointing is it.

    Thank you.

    Thank you all guys!

    Simple support App Tabs 5 is faster than I thought and it seems that the problem is resolved for now. Bug fix should be included in the next update, but if you do not want to wait (like me), you can recover the solution from here.

    Better luck.

  • 18.0.1 FireFox crashes when I close a tab

    Hello

    Firefox 18.1.0 18.0.1 crashes constantly every time I got close a tab.

    It gets very frustrating, I have been using FF for several years now and wouldn't have to find another browser. Any suggestions please.

    Edited 18.1.0 to 18.0.1 Firefox version number

    The accident for the first Crash ID report you furniture confirms that the problem is caused by Norton:

    https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/11f55616-9f0f-47b9-a163-a290b2130126
Firefox 18.0.1 Crash Report [@ coffplgn.dll@0x3715 ]

    About the 783369 NEW Bug - Norton Confidential 2012/2013 crashes (couictlr.dll, coffplgn.dll)

    This discussion on the forums of Norton has more information, so read it through:

    A user has posted that he was able to disable the Norton Toolbar extension in the Add-ons Manager leaving completely the Firefox instead of use the restart button (if you see the Mozilla Crash Reporter, click "Quit Firefox") and then start fresh Firefox. Another user who simply disable Norton Safe Search posted has solved the problem. I do not use Norton products, but I found some information here). The good workaround may have to do with this Norton software you have installed and the version.

    If looks like a Norton fix for 2012 and 2013 products will be released the week of February 1, according to a post by Symantec employee Tony Weiss as of 25/01/2013 here: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/886714

    Often plugins will seize strikes so that you cannot use Ctrl + t after clicking in the plugin. Usually, you can escape the plugin by clicking on the page outside the plugin, but there is some reports in recent months that strikes would still the plugin (especially reported with Flash). Is it that you know? Or it be other methods to open a new tab, as the menu?
