  Or better still just delete McAfee and install a good free program like AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast.

• Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes

  Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
  I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?

  Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

  While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

  In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

• Everytime I open Firefox 29.0.1 I get the screen crash report why

  Everytime I open Firefox 29.0.1 I Get the screen crash report I want to restore the tabs, as far as I know that Firefox crashed. This started after I upgraded to Ver 29.0.1

  Rather than do a uninstall complete, you can try this:

  Create a new Firefox profile

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button create a profile. I recommend using the default location suggested, in other words, do not click the button to choose a different folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  If you browse around, exit, reboot, etc, the problem continues?

  When you return to the Profile Manager to return to your normal profile, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

• How is it that everytime I open Firefox, I get my home page more another blank tab?

  You can also check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  Firefox 3.6.6 came out on 26/06/2010 to solve problems that some were plagued with the new crash protection feature introduced in Firefox 3.6.4. NOTE: Version 3.6.5 has been used for another product, so there is a "jump" in the version numbers.

  You need to update to the latest version, Firefox 3.6.6.

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

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• How can I stop Firefox automatically open and forcing myself a second tab with Google sign-in everytime I open Firefox?

  Everytime I open Firefox looking for something - it automatically opens a second tab and forces me to this tab. On the second tab is the Google account login. Now, I avoid using Firefox if I can because I can't cut it.

  This also happens in Mode safe? On the Help menu, you can restart Firefox's safe mode:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

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

• everytime I open Firefox, a previously visited site is open to the left behind the homepage, so the my home page fills in part of the screen.

  The "Club of Sam' site with my username and" remember me "box checked is one that opens behind my home page. This happens everytime I open Firefox, but didn't happen until I've set up the login page of the Sam Club.

  jscher2000 - you are a genius! I closed it and it does not reappear now, when I open Firefox. I checked the properties of the bookmark Club of Sam I had set and the box "Open in sidebar" has not been verified - but it was maybe at some point. In any case, seems to have solved the problem. Thank you very much. It's a gene that I couldn't find answers too on another site. you did it!
