Firefox is opening of Web sites and suggesting I have download some add-ons that I don't trust.
Since I've updated a few weeks ago Firefox randomly opening custody of the browser windows and invites me to download what is called "playmediaplayer" and suggesting that updating Java to the latest version. In the past Firefox suggested I have disable Java because it was a security risk.
Also, I've been doing a ton of pop ups on every Web site I'll except banking sites secure. I'm afraid that Firefox is not as secure as it should be, or used to be.
He is sick with pop ups and ad
Hello, this looks like a problem possibly caused by malicious software on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Gow I stop Firefox from opening a Web site that crashed or stop it when I restart?
Sometimes a Web site is not responding, I close firefox manually, usually a c; tab dare on my windows pc. When I restart firefox, it goes back to this site, rather than 'well, it's embarrassing...'. y at - it a way to stop this. When I close my firefos, I have it set to clear the history. You helpr oe can shed some light?
Thank you.Firefox will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from last session if an accident occurred or Firefox does not close properly the last time.
If the session blocks once, then you will get the page "well, it's embarrassing" (topic: sessionrestore) the next time you start Firefox.
You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
If you cannot start Firefox, then you can add this line to the file prefs.js to prevent Firefox to restore the last session automatically.

The download process gave the name of 'play music' for this add-on.
Playing music is the name of the developer of this extension to identify this extension in Firefox. Mozilla does not allow add-ons to be hidden from view in the tab of the Add-ons Manager, so a little bit of subterfuge is used to hide this extension of "prying".

The operating environment is summaarised in the question. Particularly I can't download and install the add-on Forecastfox (and one or two others). Using the installation option, I get a message saying: "there was an error in download forecastfox weather."
If I go to the website http://www.getforecastfox.com/ and try to download from there I get an error of connection on addons.mozilla.com.
I will still investigate on what happens with Zone Alarm and see if there's somehow it can be set so that it does not prevent me from using my PC as I want.
Thanks for your suggestions.

When I opened a Web site, it seems quite wrong. Everything is white and all centered page to the left. I checked Firefox by pressing the ALT key, and it is already set to "basic page style". So there must be something else.

I regularly need to open the same Web site in two tabs, to be able to view the changes between the first and the second opening tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl + T and start typing the URL or Web site title, which would be part by Firefox. This allowed me to open quickly the same website in a second tab Firefox 4 does not, on the contrary, he wants me to switch to the existing tab. This isn't what I need.
Of course, it is possible to open the Web site in a second tab through for example a bookmark, but it takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select the Firefox behavior in this situation.
If you have already opened this page in another tab and then you get a switch to tab appears in the location bar menu drop-down.
You can watch this extension to prevent that from happening:
- Switch to no more Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

I have update my Fire Fox version 25 several months ago. I then started to receive messages from Web sites and my yahoo email account I was using an outdated version. Then, I updated to beta 26 and I still have the same problem. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Never had any problems with Fire Fox until the 25 upgrade. I deleted the cache and cookies without effect. Should I uninstall Fire Fox and start all over again.
Before Firefox 4.0 a few extensions added stuff to the useragent which can make the AU stay stuck in this version. Your AU seems to be user Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 YFF35 Firefox/3.6.16 FBSMTWB

How can I open a Web site in html mode
I used to insert a meta tag, but I don't know how to open a Web site in HTML so that it can be edited.
Hello Carlo, Firefox does not include a built-in Web site editor.
I thought you (1) use an online tool provided by the package of your e-shop, or by your host, for editing files in a browser, or (2) change the files locally and then download (often using an FTP client).
