• Why Firefox does not delete cookies by leaving to open tabs?

  Firefox does not delete cookies for the tabs that are left open when you quit the browser even with empty cookie options set. Cookies are only eligible for the tabs that are closed before leaving the browser. I do not understand how this could possibly be a design decision because it completely defeats the purpose of the privacy settings.

  Under Options > Privacy I enabled/selected, the following options.

  • Accept cookies (no "Exceptions... »)
  • Continue until the "closing of Firefox".
  • Clear history of Firefox closing
  • * Download history
  • * Cookies
  • * Active Logins
  • * Cache
  • * Data from the Web site offline

  These cookies are stored in session data.

  You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (no HTTPS, default in the Firefox 3 versions) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.

• Since the installation of Firefox 8, when I type anything in the address bar and then press "enter" or click on the arrow for "go to the address in the address bar", nothing happens!

  Since the installation of Firefox 8, when I type anything in the address bar and then press "enter" or click on the arrow for "go to the address in the address bar", nothing happens! Similarly if a place is indicated by the location bar AutoComplete feature. I hit "enter" or click the "go to" and nothing happens. " Keyboard shortcuts to "complete the .com, .net, etc. addresses" doesn't work or the other. The address bar has worked well for entering web addresses before Firefox 8. Help, please.

  Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  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.

• Firefox does not open. Keep saying the profile is missing. There is no profile of AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

  I'm on Windows 7 OS.
  I read a lot of similar and related problems anywhere as my own, but none of them has a solution that works.

  I get the error message saying "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

  I checked Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
  C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

  Only thing it is a folder called Firefox and in that one a file called crash report.

  There is no not called "profiles.ini" file so I have no way to access the Profile Manager and uninstall + remove manually all related Firefox folders/files and reinstall Firefox does not solve my problem.

  I have no idea what to do to get out of here to go to solve this problem or difficulty why Firefox doesn't work anymore even when the reinstalled.

  Have you tried to rename the Mozilla folder?

  Also try to delete the folder to the location of the cache in AppData\Local.

  • C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

• After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

  Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

  Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

  Plugins:
  Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
  Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
  Google 1.3.21.123 update
  Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 10.9.2.5
  Java (TM) platform SE 7 U9 10.9.2.5
  Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4761.1000
  Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4730.1010
  Microsoft Windows Media Services 4.1.0.3917
  Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.287
  Silverlight Plugin 4.1.10329.0
  Windows Live Photo Gallery 14.0.8081.709

  Extensions:
  Avast! WebRep 7.0.1473

  Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

  You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

• Firefox does not open a link after the first; Open ok in new tab front.

  In the last week or two, for reasons not clear to me, Firefox does not open the new links after the first; It is used to open a new connection in new tabs (according to my preference) without problems in the past. Now it does not blink again.

  Over time, I've added new applications and others removed, and, of course, I can't exclude from their role in the problem that I have now. I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.

  You have this problem when running in Firefox SafeMode?

• When you try to clear all the history in the address bar, even though I followed the instructions for ' ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight one at a time and press DELETE, they remain. What can I do to eliminate?

  When you try to delete web pages of my story on the site of a drop down bar area, I do what Firefox instructed by hitting the "ctrl, shift, delete ' key but some web pages stay." Even if I highlight each page and click on remove, they stay. How can I remove these web pages?

  Entries in the bar location drop-down list with a yellow star (blue on Mac) at the right end of the bookmarks and Scripture cannot be cleared from the location bar menu drop down with the delete key.
  
  You can delete this an item marked with a bookmark that appear in the list, if you open this url in a tab and click on the yellow star in the address bar.
  
  This will open the "Edit this bookmark" dialog box and you can click on the delete button to delete the bookmark if you want to delete such an entry marked with a bookmark.

• Web site does not load after you type the address and pressing the return key

  I just downloaded and installed Firefox for a second time. First, I imported my IE settings. The second time I did not import the settings. Both times, after that I have type an address in the address bar and press ENTER key nothing happens. I even tried the subject: config and nothing happens.

  If you are in a corporate network environment:

  20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\greg). Currently, there is a solution for this. A solution could be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could install Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

  If you are in a home environment or the local settings folder, then please ignore the above.

• Could not find ' subject: accidents using the address bar

  My question is with Firefox (35.0.1) constantly crashing, I try to find my submitted incident reports but could not find ' subject: accidents using the address as directed by Mozilla bar. I type "subject: accidents and end up with 'the address is not valid'." My browser crashed between 25 to 30 times in the last 6 days, I presented reports every time and 6 times, I also introduced my address to receive a response, none was forthcoming.
  Home PC is used by a few of us, while the children use their own laptop computer, to save time logging in and out, each of us using another browser. Nobody in our family has problems with IE or Chrome on the PC at home, nor children. The only person to have problems is the poor SAP who drew the short straw - me.

  I can a fair bit of advice? During my research, these constant crashes, I see that many, many others have had the same problem and for quite a few years apparently. Should I just accept that this is part of the use of Firefox and don't forget to take some Valium drops in my tea before logon? or perhaps the healthier choice, find a.n.other browser and move everything out there?
  I wonder Auto Add info and willingness, but understand that I do not use the Firefox browser to do this now because he planted just - seriously.

• After downloading Firefox 4, when I type something in the address bar that he used to go directly to the site, now it goes to google. How can I change this back?

  For example: I could type 'facebook' in the address bar and it would automatically take me to facebook.com now he takes me to google.com and shows me the search results. I want that Firefox take me directly to the page as before I installed Firefox 4.

  I hate this new feature. Here's how to disable if:

  Come on in "subject: config" in the URL
  type in 'keyword' in the filter bar
  Locate the property "keyword.enabled.
  Double click on it to make sure that the value is set to FALSE

  eventually Firefox will take you directly to a Web site when you type in, instead of doing a search for it. Know that, if the word that you type does not lead to a Web site live while you're not going nowhere.

  To counter that, for example, if you want to go to Facebook.com , but don't want to change anything in the settings of Firefox, hold down the 'Ctrl' on Windows when you enter a URL. Which will automatically add the ".com" at the end of any word you typed in. Note that this adds only the ".com" and will not automatically recognize ".edu", ".gov", etc.
