Computer works ok, Firefox is four-legged unless I have disable add ons which I have none!

If I restart with Add ons disabled in safe mode, that Firefox works normally. Tried refreshing, re - install with no luck. It runs as if I had a slow dial upward. It started just the other day after using Firefox for years.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    You can use one of them to start Firefox in Safe Mode:

    • On Windows, hold down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox with a double click on the shortcut to the desktop Firefox
    • On Mac, hold the Options key when starting Firefox
    • Help > restart with disabled modules

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

    Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

  • What should I do to get the video jerky unless I have disable add-ons?

    Most of the videos I watch online is choppy, as the video goes back moving forward always forward. There are Facebook and YouTube. The sound is fine. It started about 6 months ago. I recently noticed that IE doesn't have this problem, so I think that it is something within Firefox. I tried to restart with disabled modules and it worked! Now, I need to know which add-on I need to permanently disable. I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 41.0.1. I also tried updating my Flash drive, but even after an update he always told me that he had to be updated. I did 3 times before giving up.

    Hello, drtoner, see the Test for faulty extensions to find what the problem is.

    BUT please first, turn off hardware acceleration to check if the problem is not an add-on and hardware acceleration.

    Thank you

  • 'Open the link in a new tab' does not work. I tried with all disabled add-ons and it still does not work.

    When I right-click a link and select 'open in a new tab' and 'opens in a new window', nothing happens. In addition, nothing happens when I type a query in the search bar and press ENTER. I tried to restart firefox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but the problems continue.

    The setting in "tools > Options > tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead" is for links that specify a target window (for example, target = _blank) to open the link.
    This option allows to divert these links into a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab, unless you redefine that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left click (new tab) or a left click UPDATE (new window) or via the context menu.

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Firefox itself is in English, but all the Add-ons are in Italian...

    I'm having this strange problem where most of my Firefox is in English, but the Add-ons and all content associated with them that I see are all in Italian.
    It all started when before a holiday, I was a student in Italian and I tried to put all my programs in Italian to try to immerse myself and I don't remember what I did, but I managed to do the Add-ons to switch to Italian, but now that my vacation is over, the Add-ons are stuck on language , and even uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix it!

    What should I do?

    What is the value of the general.useragent.locale pref on the topic: config 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.

  • After Firefox upgraded to version 6, just now, my Add-ons Manager crashes constantly when I try to access it. How to solve this problem or downgrade to version 5?

    During the update process, it said an add-on, java console, was not compatible and would be disabled.

    It is a common problem caused by a bug in the process of updating Firefox 6. Fortunately, you should be able to solve it by clicking one of the tabs on the left side of the Add-ons Manager (Add - ons get, appearance, Plugins...).

  • Once opened, nothing in firefox works. Bookmark Bar do not load, cannot open options, add ons. Does not open in either safe mode.

    I restarted my computer last night, when I opened firefox afterwards, it just hangs. I can't open a web page, I can't open the options, my bookmarks do not appear until I have clear display, and then enable, but nothing loads. I can't close firefox unless I go to the Task Manager to end I sent 2 reports of bugs under that email address. I cannot open in SafeMode in now shift clicking but could under the? menu. No change in safemode, just charge permanently.

    Know and other programs on the internet are working very well.

    Windows 10 pro 6300 AMD 6 core CPU, 16 GB RAM 64 bit OS Norton 360 (have had on and not changed for years).

    Let me know what other information might help.

    Thank you!

    I wouldn't call it a problem solved, it was not fixed, I just deleted everything and started around.

  • Yahoo allows no firefox appears, so I can't change of Add-ons to remove yahoo.

    I have downloaded and installed firefox 10 times and uninstalled 9 times. Firefox browser is dominated by yahoo and yahoo does'nt allow even mozilla firefox logo to display. so I can't click on the logo to change modules. I already have a yahoo browser. I don't need another, but this is what I get every time I have to install firefox. Mozilla firefox used to be 1 of the browsers that I relied on Web sites of access which are dedicated to the site and are not accessible by bing, google, google chrome, yahoo, msn or internet explorer. I have all these browsers installed and hand on my tab bar. Firefox is the only one that is hijacked by yahoo. Fix it and explain how I solve this problem please. Thanks in advance, robert...

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help with this problem of diversion of yahoo. I took all of the recommendations to the task, however, none of this was successful. After having almost given up on firefox after the 14th download I accidentally discovered the cure. with the logo of firefox in my taskbar, I clicked on it to launch the 'yahoo' once again, but ran in the topleft corner click the firefox tab b-4, he disappeared into the micro seconds. Can't do. but accidentally, I dragged yahoo down to reveal the logo of firefox tab and was able to rightclick access to modules! success for disable yahoo toolbar, but that still does not eliminate the dominance of yahoo. to do that simply finding firefox with bing on a Web site, download, install and success. now, I click on the firefox logo on my taskbar, and yahoo is longgone. It is 28.0 in all its glory with the horny Fox rubs the center globe screen. Thanks once more to all those who tried to help. I hope that this experience can help the next computer illiterate I fall towards literacy...

  • My menu has stopped working. I disabled add-ons, started in safe mode, disabled hardware acceleration and all the other suggestions but nothing helps.

    Everything worked fine until a few days ago. I tried all of the suggestions for similar problems, but the problem remains. I don't have the problem with Internet Explorer.

    I found the problem! It was my wireless mouse, who must be dying or something, although I remember a fall just before the problem started. In any case, after switching to my old mouse wired, everything is back to normal. I suggest that anyone else has the same problem first check their mouse.

  • I started firefox in safe mode. Now all my Add-ons disappeared, my favorites, my preferences... everything! What is hell?

    Here's what was contained in the dialog box. I checked all the boxes and choose the option "make changes and restart". Nothing has emerged to indicate that I was doing permanent changes... no type 'Are you sure you want to do' things... nothing.

    Firefox Safe mode



    Firefox is now running in safe mode, which temporarily turns off your custom settings, themes and extensions.

    You can do any or all of these permanent changes:

    [] disable all add them ons
    [] reset toolbars and controls
    [] delete all bookmarks except for backups
    [] reset all default user preferences
    restore default search engines]

    [make changes and restart] [Continue in safe mode] [output]

    You can restore the bookmarks from the most recent backup of JSON.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

    You can re-enable the extensions in tools > Modules > Extensions

    You will have to redo the customization of the toolbar and preferences in tools > Options

  • Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after installation of Windows 10

    Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after the installation of 10 Windows on a laptop of Dell XPS 17 L702X. Continuously, it crashes. It works great with IE and Chrome.

    I tried the following:

    -Disabling Add-ons on Firefox

    -Do a clean installation of Flash Player

    -Do a reinstall of Firefox

    When I use "Flash Player Help" to check if Flash Player is installed, he said that my operating system is Windows 7. It is not; It's Windows 10. I used recommend it download when I looked at the Adobe Web site.

    What should I do to get Flash Player to work on Firefox?

    Thanks in advance for your help.



    I downloaded the 64-bit version of Firefox and Flash Player works now

    fine. I left the 32-bit version on my computer at the moment.

    Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.

  • Bookmarks have stopped working in Firefox 41.0.1

    Bookmarks have stopped working (i.e. I can't create new ones) in Fx 41.0.1. My old favorites are still there and they still work as expected. In the past, when I created a bookmark (' bookmarks > Bookmark this page') I would get a dialog box so that I could determine whenre the bookmark has been going. Now I get nothing, and I can't find any new bookmark.

    I don't know exactly when Fx itself 41.0.1 upgrade, but I first noticed this problem 2-3 days ago.

    Hi, it is possible that the update has interfered with one of your extensions - a number you need! So, try Firefox Mode safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If it's OK in Mode without failure, you will need to temporarily disable all of your extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

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

  • NoSquint 2.1.9 has stop working in Firefox 30.0?

    After that I upgraded to 30 NoSquint Firefox will not work. I keep my office to 125% and kept NoSquint at 80%, but now it's 100% and nothing I try helps. I'm confused.

    IF she stopped working, where can I find the previous version of Firefox? I can't surf with all that huge.

    NoSquint should still work in Firefox 30, but you need to install an add-on that restores the add-on bar.

    If you have extensions to place toolbar buttons in the bar of the add-on so you need an extension like CTR to restore this toolbar.

  • How can I get this script to work with Firefox?

    This 'go to the top of the Page"button does not work with Firefox 5.0.What do I have to do to make it work correctly?

    Handwriter you actually use Firefox 3.6.13 based on your useragent (look at the end, not starting). Mozilla/5.0 is on all versions of Firefox. Firefox 5.0 won't come out for a while yet as 4.0 has yet to be released.
