Firefox problems after refresh problems

I did the "Refresh" asked Firefox, but now have multiple problems.

(1) under Google to Yahoo search engine. It is a royal pain that Firefox provides no easy solution. Should be the basic option.
(2) lost my homepage - fixed
(3) when I reduce Firefox, he died. Must he reboot every time.
(4) pins tabs are not remembered in the sessions
(5) does not appear as active in the Windows taskbar

EXTREMELY frustrated by this "update of the performance.

Hi SDJ1, to change your default search engine, click on the magnifying glass to the left of the search bar, then "Edit Search Settings" at the bottom of the Panel that goes down. More information: use of the search bar in Firefox.

These symptoms are intriguing for me:

(3) when I reduce Firefox, he died. Must he reboot every time.

(4) pins tabs are not remembered in the sessions

(5) does not appear as active in the Windows taskbar

On #3: Remember to always disable Firefox to use hardware acceleration? After the update, it is reactivated by default.

You can check the updates of your Intel graphics drivers by following the steps in this article: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

However, if this does not help, I would try to disable hardware acceleration here:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

On #4: We remind the tabs pinned as part of your tabs and windows open. Is anything get restored? I assume you are using history > restore previous Session if you not automatically restore your previous session. (Restore previous session - configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs, windows and)

If you have pinned back before tabs without having to restore your session, which could have been manipulated by an add-on.

On #5: I can't think what would cause that, unless the problem is that, after the closure of the last window, Firefox hangs and continues to run instead of closing completely. In this case, you get a message from Firefox that it cannot start because it is still ongoing, but there is no tiling/button/tab on the taskbar.

    To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    You will click on the button create a profile. I recommend using the suggested default location (do not click the button to choose a different folder). Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    You can get the print in the new profile dialog box?

    If so, it is probably a problem with one of your files, settings or extensions. If not, your installation of Firefox is maybe damaged. Rather than insert pages of instructions at this point, could report you on the results of the test first?

    When you return to the Profile Manager to return to your normal settings, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

  • Firefox problem with Captivate 2?

    Hi all
    I went through these forums and on the Web for a solution to my problem, but none will be presented. I use Adobe captivate 2 to create a simulation. I publish the simulation as a SWF with HTML. I test on my local machine in Firefox 1.5.0.9 and with Internet Explorer 6.0.29. Everything works fine on the spot. If I put it on the Web, everythign works as expected in Internet Explorer, however with Firefox, the shortcut key 'Enter', that I have assigned to a text entry box does not work. Nothing happens. Does not proceed to the next screen, does not display the legend of failure. For the sake of curiosity, I tested this problem with an old sim card I created with Captivate 1. The problem is not with captivate evidient 1. The problem seems to be attached to Firefox, Captivate 2 and access to the simulation on the Web. (Unfortunately, I can't provide a link to the problem, as it is a secure site, and which would involve giving you a password in order to release the material to the company. They would not like this so ;))

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, because this problem has left me speechless.

    Thank you
    Keith

    Hi all

    Thank you for your response. I found the solution. I assumed the standard.js file published by captivate was to suppress the warning flash IE. However, no calling not this file in my custom HTML page, load the SWF file has caused the key of the entry in Firefox problem.

  • Access to the C drive after refresh error

    Yesterday when I booted up my pc, I got an error and it started auto repair. Repair auto falied. My C drive is almost full so I used cmd and free space then did an update of the system. The update went well, but after that whenever I try to access the C drive it says: 'access denied '. Under the name it shows "NTFS". Given that windows 8 has been installed in C itself, now I can't open system tools. Not even the properties of the drive C. I tried 'icacls' and 'takeown' but in vain. I had a lot of important things in the C drive, so it would be a real pain to format. I tried to use Linux to mount the drive, still cannot access it.  PS I want to know there is another way, I can access the files and make a backup of them? Or just to resolve "access denied"? Thank you in advance.

  • My firefox crashes after I called the link to google maps. Basically, does google maps useless.

    Google maps allowing to operate perfectly. I am a Taxi driver and often look for addresses and places with Google maps. Can you help me get it working again?

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Firefox asked a "refresh", computer locked up before finished, created a "old data FireFox file on the desktop.

    Firefox asked a 'refresh', I pressed the button refresh and process running, computer then locked up to complete before. He has created a "old data file FireFox" on the desktop. I need to understand how trasfer the data in the old file of data in my FureFox 'new' to allow me to access my bookmarks and other. Thank you!

    Hi Ken, Firefox will not start now, complaining that it cannot find its profile, or it starts up, but data are incomplete?

    Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's probably faster than the recovery of individual data files and those in a new profile from loading.

    Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

    Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

    Overview

    Here are the steps described in more detail below:

    1. Create a new Firefox profile
    2. Delete all of this profile folder
    3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

    Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

    Out of Firefox and start in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

    Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

    Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • Menu help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

    This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

    Copy old data instead of new

    In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

    Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

    Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

    Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

    Launch Firefox

    Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

  • When I've upgraded to Firefox 4 my refresh button has remained the same. I thought it was supposed to be news?

    You are using Windows XP, just updated Firefox and the Refresh button is always on the left side. I thought that with Firefox 4, it was supposed to be in the address bar?

    You must drag the 'refresh' button and the button 'stop' to the right of the address bar. Then, click "done" and you should be good to go.
