Firefox patch received 12/11/15, is it safe?
Receipt of pop-up today saying: fix necessary security in Firefox, it said 93 percent possible maleaware otherwise. What is Firefox?
Firefox would never show such a message.
If you get a pop-up message asking to put plugins or Firefox updated or anti-malware analysis then this message probably is a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.
- Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
- Plugins should be updated via the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin

How to receive e-mails from my web page? Can I implement this using Firefox or I need something like Internet Explorer?
Firefox is a browser. Internet Explorer is a browser, even Opera, Google Chrome or any other browser. They don't normally have an e-mail client.
So what you need to do is to open an account with a Web freebie like hotmail.com or gmail.com email provider and then use Firefox to open it with. The emails that you receive or send remain on the e-mail server of the provider. You must use a browser to access only with.
It is not all browsers that can act as a storage system for e-mails. In this respect the browsers like Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer etc., is only spectators.

Firefox keep me connected to Facebook, even in Safe Mode?
This problem has been annoys me, because God knows how long and I just can't get rid of it, at least I have reset Firefox which is really not want I want to do just to get rid of this tiny but irritating problem.
Firefox never remembers to sign at Facebook, even in Safe Mode without extensions.
How can I get rid of this problem? If this is not possible without reset, I would a simple and concise tutorial on how to get all my extensions and settings (though obviously not one who maintains that causes this problem). I use this Firefox profile at least a good few years and it is all set up correctly for my personal use. Thank you.

Firefox crashes on startup in normal mode and safe mode does not start reset mode
using 26.0 FF
using windows 7 Home premium v 6.1 (last)My problems started after the loading of 26.0 FF. If I start FF in normal mode it crashes. Same thing when I boot in safe mode. I close FF (while it's hanging) by clicking on the X in the upper right.
When I launch FF in safe mode and click Reset FF, it crashes without FF never appear. I have to stop it using the Task Manager. Off mode reset, I can launch FF in normal mode and everything works fine. However, stopping FF does not close it. I have to use the task of the Manager close. Then I'm at square one when you try to start FF, i.e. reset firefox, crashes, Task Manager, stop, then start FF.
When FF is on, I can open a new window of FF. All my addons are up-to-date. I reinstalled FF 26.0, three or four times.
I deleted the cache and cookies.
I scanned for viruses and rootkits etc. with microsoft security essentials and spybot.
I've been a happy user of FF for over ten years and have never had a problem like this. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!
I think that I fixed it, it gives a trial because he has started to do this on my two PCs.
Go to Options > general tab > start switch / "Show a blank page" and the charges of all good. What I used was 'Show my home page' which is the default page of Firefox with the Logo of Fox and history, Favorites and other options at the bottom.

Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
