• Why firefox keep ask permission whenever he starts, he has never before?

  I use Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and Firefox is now asking for permission to make changes to my computer whenever he starts.

  Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
  
  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

  If you can't make the changes, then you must start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

• Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

  Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and do pass on messages, no problem. When I write an e-mail and send it, Firefox asks me password. I am able to send and receive e-mail while open. If I close Firefox and open, it ask password when I send. Months ago, I changed my password to connect to Netzero.com (which made more secure). Since then, I had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the password login server for receive/send emails?

  Is it asking for the password, or the web site of Firefox? The only time that
  FF you will be asked a password is if you have the active master password
  in the Password Manager.

  Open the Password Manager. There is a search bar on top of the
  page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button view passwords.
  What's the correct information? Note: maybe more then one entry there.

  Left on the icon in the address bar. A display of site information window should appear. Select more information. At the top of the window, select Security. Now select passwords saved view.

• Even with "ask to save tabs" unchecked, Firefox keeps asking to save tabs

  Firefox for Linux 32.0.

  The option "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is disabled in my preferences, but every time I close many tabs Firefox request "Do you want Firefox saves your tabs for the next time."

  I then check "do not ask next time", and when I restart the browser, the "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is always disabled, but still asking to save the tabs in Firefox.

  Also, in my remarks: the browser.tabs.warnOnClose config displays "false".
  However, Firefox does not seem to respect that.

  So in fact, Firefox remembers my settings, but doing the opposite?

  How can I get Firefox to respect the settings and disable this close tab warning message?

  There are also these prefs:

  • browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
  • browser.showQuitWarning
  • browser.warnOnQuit

• Cannot download files because Firefox keeps asking for consent and there is not a button ALLOW anywhere

  Whenever I try to download a 'broad' file Firefox continues to ask me:

  Firefox needs your consent to download large files.
  Please, click ALLOW to continue with your transfer.

  If you do not see the application, please click on the icon next to the address bar.

  I didn't have this kind of problems before up to that new version, I'm so frustrated that I think really switch to Chrome instead.

  And in case anyone is wondering, there isn't an icon request at ALL.

• Firefox keeps asking for an update, but is unable to complete. It is stuck on the "Connecting to Server" and turns for hours until I stop. Help!

  I have a version of Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?). The most recent update for Firefox and Thunderbird guard invites me, but when I say 'yes' to update, a bar with lines moving through it, and he said: "Connecting to the update server", but it is never a more far. I left for hours at a time and it does actually update or another program.

• What is the problem with Firefox? He keeps asking me to restore my tabs!

  Well, I turned on several tabs, and when I close all the tabs, I intended to do, I clicked EXIT when Firefox ask me if I really want to close them. But the next time I turn on Firefox (even after I shut down my computer for 2 or 3 days), he repeats that «well, it's embarrassing...» "and ask me if I want to restore, instead of my home page. I thought that it will happen just once, but it happens every time! It is not an accident or a Firefox stop my tabs, I stop them myself, so why Firefox keeps asking me to restore? Sometimes, I just open the Google Web page, and then close, he always ask me to restore. Can someone help me solve this problem?

  PS: I already tried to uninstall, download the latest version and install it, but it does not work.

  You are welcome.
