  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Firefox 24 - options not remembered from one session to the other

  When I've upgraded to Firefox 24, all the v23 option settings restore default values. I put them back the way I had them before, but after restarting the browser, all default as before. I use NoScript, and any change to its rules is also lost when I restart the browser. I rebooted several times. with no system restarts and the results are always the same.

  History and passwords seem to be updated and kept in sessions. The problem is with the data to configure Firefox and NoScript.

  I am running XP SP3 with 2 user accounts. One is an administrator account that I use only for the maintenance of the system, and the other is a limited account where I do most of my work. The admin account, where I installed v24, remembers changes in configuration between sessions; the problem is with the limited account, which is the one that I care.

  I checked the profile in use for the limited account, and files have updated definitives in application Data Mozilla \limited user\application folders, so it doesn't look like a permission problem. This folder contains now 86 prefs-files numbered out of all 3 have maintenance date today, but the file prefs.js watch was yesterday, before I improved versions.

  There are also 25 sessionstore-files numbered, that have all of the old dates, but the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files show as recent.

  Any suggestions?

  After posting the question, I found this thread in the support forum - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save?esab=a & s = firefox + + 24- + options + not + remembered & r = 1 & as=s#w_reset-firefox-to-fix-the-problem.

  Following the instructions, it seems that the file for the limited account has been altered in the upgrade to the Version 24. I deleted, and the problem is solved.

  Hello, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If this isn't the case, maybe an addon intrudes here or there is a problem with hardware acceleration...

• Firefox is no longer connected but internet Explorer doesn't. How can I restore firefox

  Has been using firefox for a long time. Yesterday, he disappeared and the only way I can get the East through Explorer.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and memory of pigs.

  Since the recent updates that have begun to use containers of plugin, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back there, he said that it is still running. I have liik in the Manager of tasks and about seven containers plugin. exe is running, and I turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, same Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and rendered sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin container in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or does not offer me, instead, it uses far too much RAM and is too slow. And takes a long time to close when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it was.

• Firefox has stopped to remember a password and now I can't retrieve the password. How can I access the passwords that Firefox remembered for me?

  I have two youtube accounts, but Firefox has stopped reminding the password on one of them. Unfortunately I remember is no longer the password, like Firefox still remembered up to now. How can I access the password in Firefox, or is that not possible?

  Try the menu Tools, Options and then on the Security tab.

  Look for the "Passwords" section. From there, you should be able to see or manage stored passwords.

• Firefox is no longer closing of tabs in the output

  I use Firefox 39.0. In previous versions my tabs automatically close their exit. This option is no longer available? I'm unable to findanything in the help files.

  Do you mean that the tabs of the previous session are restored automatically at every startup.

  If the start setting is OK (and not "show my windows and tabs from last time"), then you can check this.

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

• Firefox crashes on the youtube homepage

  Whenever I try to raise to youtube.com, I get the spinning wheel of death, and firefox is not responding. This happens ONLY on the homepage. If I go to video pages, they play very well.

  This happens on other websites as well. If this happens on a given site, it ALWAYS happens on the same site, but I don't know what these sites have in common. Maybe ads?

  I've removed all the Add-ons, given to zero/refreshed and re-installed firefox, always have this problem. It is only with firefox.

  Any thoughts?

  See you soon

• Firefox is no longer the auto my email and password

  When I visit websites for which I have the usernames and passwords stored in firefox including firefox used to fill and which other browsers always autofill, FF no longer fills them. I don't use private browsing and signon.autofillForms is set to true.

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/

  This version has been updated in September 2014, and you might need the new version now. To get the update, you can have Firefox check for updates of the extension as follows:

  Open the page modules using either:

     Ctrl+Shift+a
     "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, above the list, find the button with the "gear" or "cog" icon, click on it and "Check for Updates".

  Or if you only want to update this extension, I think the installation from the Add-ons site will overwrite the old version with the new one (not 100% sure on this subject).

  Hope this helps

• Firefox android opens about.config homepage. Failed to set the new homepage

  Firefox android open always new tab or browser session about: config page.
  I restarted browser and Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3), and this behavior has not changed.
  All google searches suggest that the firefox browser android home page is not editable, but this is obviously not true.
  I tried the solutions that suggest to navigate to about: home and edit bookmarks and these paths do not work.
  The awesome bar is far from great.
  How to stop the browser from the start to about: config and how can I make the homepage be what I want?

  Solution found:
  Any time by the shortcut of firefox in the section at the bottom of my home screen Quick Launch I got about: config

  Whenever the opening of new tabs for navigation, I got about: config

  I removed the shortcut to quick launch firefox and entered the apps and the firefox shortcut added to quick launch

  The new shortcut follows my customization settings and opens to the best sites now, but also the new tabs to open up to the best websites

  Of course, there is a way to set a homepage of a shortcut somehow

  Unfortunately, this tablet was working properly at the time of purchase and I don't know how to change shortcuts yet, but they can be changed

• Firefox is no longer allows me to stay connected to anything - I am CONSTANTLY enter passwords. Help!

  I have used Firefox for years on my Macbook Pro, but recently updated to the Mavericks and now Firefox will not record passwords for any Web site. I don't have this problem with Google Chrome, but I prefer to use FF. I checked to make sure that cookies are allowed in my privacy settings, and I deleted all my cookies and that did not help. I use a lot of password sites in my work, so it's pretty close to hell on Earth.

  Details such as websites to remember you (automatically log you) are stored in a cookie.

  If the deletion of cookies did not help, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies has been corrupted.

  • Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookies as cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

• 29 Firefox is no longer prints correctly of the construction in the PDF Viewer

  I print multiple labels of EBAY one day. Just updated to firefox 29 (not realizing really what has changed - now regretting) and the built in PDF viewer is no longer prints correctly. It shows well the label on the screen, but when you send to the printer (I tried two more different) it prints just the pages of two thugs. I tried a number of different print settings, and as I mentioned two different printers. Unable to get anything to print now except two blank pages. If I change the app settings in firefox to use an outside party 3rd PDF Viewer (e.g. Adobe reader 11, PDF Viewer, etc.) who work very well. However, the default built in PDF Viewer broke clear in this new version. A very disappointing start for me since it is an essential feature for my use. Yes, I have a work around, but the point (and a new bug) are still valid.

  Firefox 29.0.1 has been published, which contains a fix for this issue - an update is recommended for all those affected: Firefox update to the latest version

• Why do I get three windows when I open Firefox instead of the unique homepage, I had put in place?

  I used to get a single tab, my Google homepage when I launched Firefox. Then one day I downloaded Google Chrome because I had trouble running an application. After that, when I launch Firefox, I get three tabs, a Gmail, a Home Page of Google and a browser that reads chrome://browser/content/newtab/newTab.xul - also, I get spammed like crazy and I was not before. I have my active spam blocker. I also downloaded a few flip something because I fell for the pop-up ad that said it would speed up my download speed. I have since uninstalled Google Chrome and I thought the flip thing, but I still get three launch windows and too many spam.

  Strange, since Google shouldn't do that. Maybe it was an installer bundled masquerading as official?

  To start your cleaning efforts, please check your home page settings. Do you get the 3 tabs when you press command + n to start a new window? If so, the additional URLS can be added to your home page in the Preferences dialog box. These articles describe where to find that. Notes that it can be difficult to see all the details of this area due to the limited space available, so often it is easier to delete everything and paste the desired URL.

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  Then please check your extensions, as they can override your settings. I suggest disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • Tools menu > Modules

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so obviously bad, delete).

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?
