Everytime I open firefox, I get a window that opens. Doesn't happen with IE or Chrome
Whenever I open Firefox, I get another window that opens on the home page. It's almost empty with a few lines at the top of the page and the registration of the user of words. It has happened since Firefox updated on my computer yesterday, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.
That's great! Please make sure you choose the solution so that others can benefit from. Also, it's users like you that make the difference when you report.
Thank you!

Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.
For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.
Hope this helps.

Hello
I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.
How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
Thank you thank you very much in advance. I can't use this browser if that's going to happen, he finds himself on my nerves.
A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.
Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.- Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected
Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator. -

As I said in my question, why the Welcome to Firefox keep opening in addition to my normal start page. It started when I upgraded my Firefox and it IS PRETTY BORING! Also I am not able to erase the history or the restoration of previous session.
Hi mjp80538,
You should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle. It should give you all the information you need!
If this does not work:
- Enter about: config in the address bar
- Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
- In the filter field, type Startup
- Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
- Delete the text string, and then click OK
- Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.
Hope this helps!

While on Firefox, I get a warning that I need to apply a patch of security of full screen
The full page WARNING seems authentic, Firefox logo, etc. I am advised to click on a link for the patch. However, the address for the sender is looking for suspects. I copied it and if a search engine has checked and it is an entity of the Government of the County. Unfortunately, I lost the copy so cannot send it. This seems very odd. I have the latest version of Firefox, and I suspect that someone is trying to me to click on a link to hack my computer. I just wanted you to know. I had this "security alert" at least half a dozen times during the month. Can this be true?
IF you mean a .exe Firefoxpatch what is called then it is known and false. This .exe if installed can put Cryptolocker on your Windows that locks the files.

I'm not able to use Firefox Hello. I get a message that it is not available in versions of Firefox ESR. How can I change my version of Firefox? I'm a home user and when I click on the link update my personal version of Firefox I get a message telling me I have the latest version. So, I'm stuck. I also used to have a link to beta "Hello" when it first came out (he was working at the time). This link is now expired. Can someone help me understand how to establish access to 'Hello '?
Hello will also work where you have configured firefox to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in options > Privacy panel).

When I launch Firefox normally it goes right to my Google page, but recently when I run Firefox I get a message indicating that Google.com is a unreliable site. I get this message for all engines of search, Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. How can I solve this problem?
You run Kaspersky, correct? If you use the SSL scanning feature, Firefox must be put in place to approve the present Kaspersky false certificate to decrypt your secure connections. If you used the discount during the last update function - for example, Firefox says it's a bad performance and offers to restore some default settings - you have to do it again the installer of Kaspersky/Firefox.

I own a HP Pavilion P6000, model #p7610t. I'm using Windows 7 OS. When I want to start Disk Defragmenter, I get a window with the following message: Disk Defragmenter is currently using customized settings created by another program. There is a button with a blue and Gold Shield that says: 'delete settings '. How can I identify this other program? Should I forget about it and remove the settings?
Bob, I, personally, would eliminate the settings to see if that helps. When you do this it can give you a clue to the other program involved. The worst that can happen is that you need to reinstall the other program.
