FireFox opens a lot of tabs on its own. I can't do something, but to close it using the windows Task Manager. all this occur after installing the add-on flashgot. (I've used this module before and it was working OK)

I use Firefox for two years now and use the flashgot. and I really like it.
This laptop has firefox on it since the first day. and I got flashgot on this as well. But today when I tried to download something that I have that option (save the file) flashgot wasn't there. I was a little surprised but downloaded and installed flashgot anyway. He asked me to restart firefox and I let him. then when it restarted I had a lot of pop windows asking me which application is used to open this link (it wasn't a link and I got only firefox so I picked it up) was windows 10 or more pop so I chose to use this option for all. When I did so all of a sudden got a lot of poping up tabs, then a new window pop Firefox on with a lot of poping up tabs and then a new window. i've got up to 19 poping windows with lots of tabs. I had to close it with the Task Manager.

now when I want to use firefox about 20 tablets pop up then a new window Firefox pop up, and then when I type a url another 20 tablets pop then a window pop...

This laptop may have problems. am scaning now using an ESET online scanner to see what is happening.
Thank you for your help in advance

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    I'm worried I can compromise the security of my existing of passwords saved in Firefox by installing the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7'. Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    You should always be careful when you install extensions, not only for security reasons, but always with respect to the stability of Firefox.

    Extensions, hosted on the site of the Add - ons were examined, unless otherwise stated and are generally safe for installation, but they remain third-party software developed by others (only a few are Mozilla and patches).

  • Windows task manager looks completely wrong-it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and put in a network, just a box of size rectangle TASKS WORKING ON?

    The Windows Task Manager seems completely wrong - it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and networking, just one size rectangle box SHOW the TASKS of WORKING ON?  I use it all the time close process and close programs stuborn. None of these options are CURRENTLY available? The only thing I can think is I went to delete one of my readers WD3.0 data and he says it has been used by another program and I've had that happen before and just go close a lot of the process by typing Control, Alt and delete which opens the windows task manager. I recently changed "System Configuration'under'msconfig" Normal startup to "selective startup" and reduce the number of drivers and programs loading to 'Start Up', as he ran 90 things and slow start. "" "» I have no viruses or malware. I changed the "system configuration" back to normal + restart and that he would remove the progams, or processes that have been intefering with the Western Digital HD software. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WINDOWS TASK MANAGER HAS BEEN SCREWED UP.

    But I can't because my Windows Task Manager is just a rectangular box with a single word to the top sayingTASKS!  Without tab with all the other options as in (program, process, services, performance, and network management).

    Would BE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON please TELL ME WHAT TO? I don't want to do a system restore , as I just cleaned it all points this week and just started around and added a bunch of programs and data this week that I let go.

    PLEASE HELP ME TECHE AND MICROSOFT. I PAY $250 p/year FOR THIS DELL ALIENWARE MACHINE LOADED due to it's PERFORMANCE AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER (1) DANG SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH what THEY ARE PAID. THEY WANT $60 - $100 OR MORE TO ANSWER THIS QESTION FRENCH ANOTER. THEY USED TO, WHEN I COULD BUY GOLD SUPPORT BUT THEY SELL ON THIS MACHINE, SO I'M ON MY OWN AND THANKS FOR THE ADVICE LIKE THIS...

    The Microsoft Support web site.

    The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.

    We won't have the information mentioned in the first response of Sandsweep.

    (I confirmed Microsoft's answer worked.) I must have clicked on the edge of the window Task Manager to have switched over to the second, less familiar view.)

  • Second firefox.exe appearing in the process in Windows Task Manager...

    Hi all!

    I started facing this problem a few days ago and do not know what is the cause:

    In my Windows Task Manager, there are two firefox.exe that appear under the process (under Applications, Firefox only appears once). I used to complete the process to close each of the firefox.exe that appear and the result was special. Depending on whether one I finish, either the window closes completely as well as all tabs or hangs the tab that is currently open and I get the message: "bad new first: this tab broke down."

    I scanned my computer with AVG for viruses and everything was clean back. I've also scanned with ESET for malware and nothing was found.

    Any idea what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

  • "The Windows Task Manager has stopped working" the INSTANT Task Manager opens... process of safe mode does nothing.

    I am running windows 7 64 bit and have encountered a problem. Whenever I have open tasks, any way Manager (msconfig, cntrl shift escape, Ctrl alt del, etc.), task manager opens and white and displays "Windows Task Manager has stopped working". I am increasingly frustrated with the problem. I tried booting in safe mode AND clean boot, but the problem persists. On top of that, the system restore fails whenever I'm trying to do.

    Could you please help me get running again the Task Manager?

    Do you feel the behavior if you log on with a different user account?

    Maybe, try to rename a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager to for example a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager.OLD in the registry. Then try to start the Task Manager again.

    Task Manager shows you what is "running", not what is "installed".

  • Between tabs causes errors and move to tab into its own window. How can this be fixed or should I revert to a previous version again?

    Firefox updated on me in the later version (without my permission) which can be well except, now, whenever I have change the tabs, repeat me Javascript error, bad data and something about it being private, which lift then the tab into another window. I don't want a bunch of windows, I want as my tabs, and I don't like having to put my tabs in place whenever I have to go. It becomes extremely annoying. How can this be fixed or should I revert to a previous version again?

    Some files in the Firefox profile folder may have been reset by opting for the done box.

  • Care options opens a new tab for each time a tab opens to a new site at link. How close options so it won't open a tab on its own?

    Whenever a new tab opens to access a web page or 'Home' a tab options opens. Sometimes I have several tabs of options showing that the tabs of the site. How can I disable Options so that she will leave the opening of new tabs? I don't have this problem on my desk top only my laptop.

    Firefox uses a vertical bar ("|") in order to separate several home pages.
    You can check the setting of the home page to see if the subject: preferences page is included among the home pages (| subject: preferences #general).

    This can happen if you click on "use current page (s) ' to set the home page and about: preferences is open in a tab.
    You can pin the tab with the subject: the preferences page to avoid including: preferences for layout home page if you want to use this button.
    To set a page as the home page, you can drag the globe/lock for the home button.
