Firefox randomly asking to run Skype. How to solve it?

• Firefox 29 screws - Please consider USERS how to solve this problem?

  I get often tired of firefox, the only reason why I stay with her is because of the 3rd party plugins, but it's a little too far.

  So, I am seriously upset with Mozilla Firefox, not only because of the new design, but the total lack of respect for your users.

  I received a message saying that there is an important security update, he NOT warned me that he intended to install a completely redesigned application.

  Have you heard guys control change management?

  I'm in the workplace and I spend 15 hours a day online, now I understand this TERRIBLE UI.

  I guess that's what you get when you have a bunch of amateurs, software development.

  So what - this, don't not a single person in Mozilla understand NOT to tell users that upgrade includes a serious change in the interface user or worse yet you know and think FFF.orget them we just do and tell them that this is a security update.

  Rather that create this terrible user interface you should have focused on the biggest problem with Firefox MEMORY and CPU usage with the ability of users to understand which tab is the use of memory or CPU,

  If I wanted a clone of Google Chrome, I would like to have installed Google Chrome, but I hate the interface of Chrome. Do you not know that Google is the worst airline in the world to design a user interface, their email is rubbish, the new adwords Keyword Planner should be used in schools and colleges as a "How NOT to design software"

  What makes me shit off the coast, is that you have the arrogance to think that you can just bulldozer on your user base. If I were local I'll come to your office asking that spark was responsible for this and their fist in the face.

  I've seen others ask how to do step back and once again in your ignorance make you pathetic excuses and lock the question, as you did with the guy here:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/997424

  Well, if you do this with me, I will raise it on all the blogs related to Firefox. I wonder if there is any interest to create a fork in development?

  I don't want to install an older version, I have invested a lot in my UI of Firefox which was completely ruined by this update. In addition to this I can not move the address bar and put it next to the menu and I can not move the tabs below the menus and toolbars.

  You also messed up my colored tabs that I need because of eye problems.

  ITS POST OFFICE do not DICTATE how I layout my screen!

  To call you complete F'ing stupid do not!

  Now if I restore, I'll face nagware and risks to security.

  In the future can you please respect your users as follows:

  1. don't install user interface changes without notifying the user and giving them a choice
  2. ALWAYS include a feature to stay with the old user interface
  3 allow users to stay with the old interface user and still get REAL security updates.

  I am so angry with you right now!

  The Firefox team defensive comments are missing the point of my OP. Here are the highlights

  Total lack of respect for your users.

  Ride a new version, but calling a security update, they are two different things.

  He NOT warned me that he intended to install a completely redesigned application.

  Have you heard guys control change management?

  Change of control does not mean that test you it on a bunch of sycophants FF, it means that you give end users the ability to switch to the changes and to roll back.

  I have been involved in deployments huge MS Office (100 k + users) when the tape came, it was so radically different that we had to implement a training program, it's the same thing.

  You must understand and accept what makes Firefox is the customization, so don't MESS WITH IT. If you can't find a way to implement it without screwing customization of the people, and then abandon your changes. You really should be able to offer users a chance to try small changes and restore if they don't like it. It should be a requirement for any changes to the user interface. Oh and I mean SIMPLE back roll 'try and no thank you', not a hidden code buried on a topic page or hidden on the web.

  I think that the important question that you should focus on performance and the ability to see which tab is the use of resources or a leak memory, I would like to see an option to display the memory/cpu tab instead of the title, you might even get the tab go red.

  You must be able to isolate and stop these tabs, I don't think you should have multiple instances that Google Chrome because they relate to the tabs or help in any way to stop a bad performance page.

  I think whenever you get an inclination to copy Google Chrome you slap yourself around the face and if this did not help you should have your cock to slap you team (think film plane). In fact, I think that Mozilla developers should be slapping for ideas stupid or improperly applied.

  I hope that you can learn that it is unacceptable to bulldozer on your user base.

  Now, it would be wrong not to mention the best way to copy with this screw upwards, first of all, I had to install colorful tabs, this gave me the back legs square and stopped the terrible waste of screen real estate.

  I then used the drastically (bastard) Customize option to move icons from the top next to the menu bar, they are very small and it would be good to have an option to increase the size.

  I have the address bar under the tabs taking up most of the width of the screen with an icon to the right of it. I still don't like the back and updating and the forced to their locations and would like to be able to drag and drop them where I want (including where I have other icons).

  I would like to be able to put the address bar where I want, including on the menu bar.

  I also like the ability to change the spacing in toolbars, I have quite a thick on the Bookmarks feature and too much space above them, throughout this waste screen estate.

  In the future can you please respect your users as follows:

  The performance of the browser has improved, it is more agile but memory management is always a problem.

  She seems to have a higher capacity before it crashes (of 1.6 GB in the old version to 2.4 GB in the new version), but it seems to use more memory, so I'm not really able to do more. I have 8 GB of ram so I'd like ot see it is able to use 3 to 4 GB if it is available.

  This version fall down more often, it seems that some Web pages a leak memory, and it gets to a point where is fair shots. What he does is best to recover the memory when you close tabs, it's not perfect but an improvement nonetheless.

  I'm still seriously upset with the way this has been implemented and all the questions that I have raised in my booth always OP. What I want from the Dev team is NO more excuses, but a commitment not to do that again and just put the implementation of the UI with making changes back options for users.

  When I run Mozilla Firefox I get the error message "ReferenceError: Globalstorage is not defined." How to solve this problem?
  -Vinayak

  GlobalStorage is no longer supported in the current Firefox (removed in Firefox 13), versions so the extension or Web site that uses it needs an update and use localStorage instead.

• How can I close Firefox (closed) if properly run two windows with multiple tabs in each and I want to save them all?

  How can I close Firefox (closed) if properly run two windows with multiple tabs in each and I want to save them all? I tried to close each window by clicking the X in the top right, and then restart Firefox only loads the last closed window. Is it possible to close Firefox so it restarts with both windows?

  Hi osenochen, some additions to the first response:

  • You can display the classic menu temporarily bar by pressing Alt or F10 to access the file menu
  • There is also an icon of 'power' at the bottom of the graphic application menu (the one which is displayed by the button "3-bar" menu) If you prefer
  • If you closed a window and you want to re - open, go to the history menu and see a list of recently closed windows (by default, up to 3 windows closed are stored and can be re-opened - not applicable to windows private)

• Why firefox did ask to make changes to my computer whenever I open the browser. Why is the screen pixelated all?

  When click on firefox on my desktop that a message appears to ask me if I will allow firefox to make changes to my computer. It happens every time. each page is also all pixelated and barely visible. the Explorer IS NOT to do THIS.

  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

  Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected

  Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

• Firefox on OSX will run with sudo, but not without. Without sudo, a standard "Profile missing" error.

  I recently moved to a new Macbook, and I can't get Firefox to start unless I run it with sudo.

  Under osx, I looked in Users/steven/Library/Application Support/Firefox as well as the profile was there, but still does not work. I tried to remove the folder of Firefox and the .plist file, and it has always failed.

  I looked at other issues of support that are similar, especially https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951989?esab=a & as = aaq - but it's bad for me operating system.

  What I need now, I think, is a list of what folder locations and permissions * should * be defined on osx, because I know he'll be permissions since it works perfectly as root. If anyone of you have encountered this particular scenario before, and if yes, how do solve you this problem?

  Solved!

  Jscher2000 is right. Even if everything that said "steven: Editor", it wasn't very happy. It's what finally fixed it:

  Yori - 20:Firefox steven$ sudo chown-r steven: staff ~/Library/
  Yori - 20:Firefox steven$

  After that, it loaded perfectly.

• Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager & Undo Closed Tab addons don't work, synchronization is not working do not. The story works. How to solve this problem?

  Firefox remembers the story, but doesn't remember the closed tabs, sessions.
  It happened after the Fox update to v. 19.0.2 on a single computer.

  In Options of Firefox is set to use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except always use Private Browsing Mode. So I'm not in private browsing.

  When I press to Undo Closed button nothing happens, & in the Manager session Save Session button is grayed. I tried to install other add-ons that remembers the tabs. tried to reinstall/disable these 2 modules. Did ' t help. On my 2nd computer I have same modules, same settings and they work normally. the 3rd closed computer undo works tabs also. How to solve this problem? I decided to ask before Firefox Reset...

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

  Sync is a separate issue. It works, but quite often it connects me sync account. Then I can connect only using the recovery key password and long (option choice I have no device with me because he does not accept the key to pairing device).

  Thanks for reading.
