Firefox launches several times without asking

I tried to restore my system windows 7. .no help. I tried to remove Firefox, got MSG that he was "still ongoing" and although he was not running... can not remove it...

From my own experience: the message "always running" is correct, because there is still a Firefox (or two or more) running in the background. To remove

  • Start the Task Manager
  • sort the list in the process tab and
  • remove entries from Firefox

Of course, you can get rid of them by simply booting the PC.

Once you've done licking, see the solution to the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957976 issue

  • Unable to convince Firefox close several tabs without asking confirmation

    Using Linux Mint 13 Maya with Firefox 35.0.1. If I try to close firefox after having several tabs open, I get the message "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? Check "do not ask next time" has no effect. Next time, he will do the same boring. Went to preferences, tabs and found the box checked to "warn me when closing multiple tabs". Not checked the box, it remains unchecked, but I always get the same annoying message whenever I try to close several tabs. I really don't understand why this might be a desirable feature. I hate a computer program trying to do my thinking for me! Yes hell I want to close all tabs, I clicked on the 'X', I don't? I despise also semi-automatic and almost all the other annoying features trying to do my thinking for me - especially those that I can't turn it OFF. I want my PC to do exactly what I said, LOL!

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    You can watch the resignations and warn the prefs on the topic: config page.

    Firefox crashes several times a day. Here are the latest reports of the crash.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    In the Firefox Safe mode, these changes are effective:

    • all extensions are disabled
    • the default theme is used (no persona)
    • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
    • the layout of the default toolbar is used (localstore - safe.rdf)
    • the JIT Javascript compiler is disabled
    • hardware acceleration is disabled
    • plugins are not affected
    • preferences are not affected

    If it is not caused by an acceleration of material or extension, then try disabling the JIT compiler.

    Try disabling the JIT ionmonkey compiler by defining these jit false prefs on the topic: config page (search: jit) to see if that helps.

    I tried to disable the hardware accelerator thing, but there was no change. This has happened for at least 3 weeks now, I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated because at this rate, I'll have to switch to Chrome to save my sanity. I don't really like chrome, but at least chrome does not crash all the time on me.

    Until I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled, I double checked my modules and programs and found "Good companion" as an add-on and a program. I looked and it's apparently malware, so I uninstalled. Since then, Firefox broke down and it's been three days that I got rid of him. Before, Firefox broke several times a day.

    Hello! I use a PC and have problems loading my homepage of Muse. First of all, I made one with the address "nordensstjarnor" and updated several times without any problems. And once, I couldn't download on 'nordensstjarnor' any longer. Don't know why, when he got the address "nordensstjrnor". That me ok at first, but now I really need to give the first address once again, "nordensstjarnor". But when I try, the alternative of the site of ' publish on ' old isn't here. And if I try to create a new one, but with the old URL, the box turns red. What can I do?

    The reason why you cannot change nordensstjarnor.businesscatalyst.com is because a different Adobe ID is used for the publication of this site.

    t * [email protected] is used for the publication of nordensstjarnor.businesscatalyst.com

    t s. * [email protected] is used for the publication of nordensstjarnorindex.businesscatalyst.com

    You must make sure that Adobe ID is used in account publish, so that you can see a list of the websites published under this account. Go in Edition > Preferences > publish on Business Catalyst > publish with accounts

    You can pass the accounts for you can also make changes to the sites.

  • HOW can I UNINSTALL FIREFOX 13.0 (file VERSION 42.0.0) I tried to uninstall several times without success. Can anyone help

    I installed Firefox 13.0 (version of the 42.0.0 file) at may laptop with Windows 7 on September 30, 2012, but I had a lot of problems (especially with facebook and games he kept just freezing or crashing) so I decided to uninstall, I tried several times to uninstall it but without success, can anyone help me please

    You try to uninstall Firefox to solve the problem you are having, or to stop using Firefox for good? I can probably help you with your problem, if you wish.

    To solve your problem, the first step is to download the latest version of Firefox, 15.0.1. Download and install from www.getfirefox.com. You don't have to uninstall your current version before installing this one.

    After doing this, reboot your PC, Firefox works better now?

    If not, try to read these articles: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen or Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

    Hi John,.

    It is an error message from the web server providing this site. Specifically, it is something wrong with their PHP code.

    It is not browser specific and would go into another browser besides Firefox.

    You will need to contact the webmaster of this site to report this problem. A quick test does not show this problem, but you do not specify what search query, you tried:

  • WhatWhere is the plug-incontainer? happened to the plugin container? He disappeared with the latest version and now firefox crashes several times a day.

    I do not see the plugin container in the task manager of Windows since the last update of Firefox and now FF freezes several times per day (since the previous update, before yesterday). It takes several minutes after that I see this until it thaws, and it is faster the "end task" and restart Firefox to wait. This most often seems to happen when the computer has been idle for a certain time, rather than when I use it.

    Be sure to let the process of plugin-container in the firewall.

  • Firefox closes several tabs without telling me

    FF 4.0.1 (updated)
    Windows 7 Home premium (eng)

    When you navigate using several tabs, FF doesn't warm me if I close accidentally all the window the upper right part of X. All tabs are closed at the same time.

    Here are the things I've already tried (with help):

    Subject: config
    Boolean true default browser.warnOnQuit

    Boolean true default browser.tabs.warnOnClose

    browser.tabs.warnOnQuit user value Boolean true (it was missing, I added it)

    Then I tried (with help):
    browser.showQuitWarning-> true
    browser.warnOnRestart-> true

    Will not work.

    But then I realized something strange. If I have that a single open browser window, all the tabs are close at the same time by clickin X (top corner). But when I have at least two separate open browser windows, then FF gives me the warning following so Im trying to close the window with several tabs: "confirm close...» You are about to close the tabs [number of tabs open]. Are you sure you want to continue? [x] keep warm me when I try to close multiple tabs... [close tabs] [Cancel] »

    And it only works when I have at least two separate browser, open windows. How can I make it work when Im using only a single window with multiple tabs? It drives me crazy because I always accidentally click the X instead of close the tab only and I've lost all the other tabs.

    Ed. Even with a FF 12.0a1 (64-bit) and 9 FF now. Reset settings will no longer work! Could you please do something to make it work!

    I had the same problem. To resolve this problem, you need to reset the settings of Firefox. To do this, click the Firefox button, go to help and select restart without add-on. A window will appear. Check the reset settings Firefox area, then continue. The warning dialog box should now work.

    PS It seems to be a problem with your profile, not Firefox itself. I tried another profile in Firefox (a profile with all of the default settings) and not having a problem.

  • How can I close Firefox with several tabs without message

    It drives me crazy. I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint 17 40.0.3 to the top of a tower Dell Latitude I5. If I have more than one tab open and try to close it, I get a message:

    Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time, it opens?

    I click on "Do not ask next time" and "exit". He does not save this preference.

    So I did some research, went up to about: config and change the following parameters to false:

    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnOpen; false

    but this message still comes up. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I get this preference to stay?

    Thanks in advance.

    If browser.showQuitWarning is set to true, you will get this warning message.
    You must toggle the pref to false with a double click to disable this warning.

  • Installer CC launches several times to failure

    Hey guys,.

    I had a quick glance and found no something like what happens to a customer, so I try to install CC.

    The user has downloaded Adobe CC to install, but when you click on the installer, it starts to think for a few minutes and then just don't throw, no error message or anything, just does not start. Thought it was off then tried to do the same thing with the Task Manager open and found that he tries to launch the installation program nearly 30 times and then open the crashes on having too many sessions.

    Think it might be a funky so deleted and re-uploaded Installer Installer and tried and same thing.

    The user's machine is running on Windows 7 pro 32 bit OS and account currently drive DC, Photoshop and Flash installed.

    Is there something I'm missing here?

    DRM for your help.

    See you soon

    James

    Hi James % 40GRIT,.

    As you mentioned that the machine is in a domain, and it requires identification of connection of field information, I would ask you to contact with the it team to access admin and then try to run the installation as an administrator as Sheena mentioned in his previous roles and share the results.

    When you work with your team of local administrator, you can also try to create a new admin user account and check if it is working for you.

    Thank you.
