• Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired as a tab page I click on get to. How to get back to how it was in previous versions?

  After updating to the latest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and one that appears on my screen is new tab with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go. Also, when I click on a link, the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab I have to click to get to. It's actually quite boring and inconvenient. How to get back to the way it was, so that when I run Firefox it opens on my homepage, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link I clicked on? This new and improved IMO is really new and worse.

  A further extension could have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you may have installed recently.

  Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so completely junk, delete).

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  That get rid of the extra tab?

  Note: I also suggest to visit the Control Panel, uninstall a program and by clicking on the column heading "installed on". This should bring the most recent additions at the top and group by install date so that you can examine the software may have unexpected how have been installed.

• We can not get firefox installed on our new laptop with windows 8, what should we do?

  I have a 8.1 of Windows on a new computer platform. When we try to download firefox button returns to push in execution. After that, Norton scan and says that it is safe, but a new program with very few people to use. I click on the spot by saying that it is safe and it goes, but the program does not work. I also tried to download and then run. It will download but when I try to run Norton rises and happens the same thing as above.
  I also tried to disable Norton for an hour and tried 2 same things as above with the same results.

  In the case where Norton opposes the "stub" Installer (the download has the word "stub" in the name) try using the full installer. You can download from the following page, just scroll your preferred language:

  This one does work?

• I had synced all my info (passwords etc.) in my old laptop, but today, when I connected my new laptop with my firefox sync account, I found my saved info.

  Before coming to my new place, I saved all my info like passwords, bookmarks etc in my old laptop and they sync with my Firefox sync account. But after that I came to my new place, I bought a new laptop. But when I signed into my account to synchronize Firefox in my new laptop computer, I have not found all of these bookmarks or saved passwords. What should I do?

  Yes, I would say that your passwords have disappeared. When synchronization key is "updated" as indicated in this part of the synchronization log that I cropped, the server is deleted user data because that data doesn't help. This sync key is the encryption key for the user data when these data are user devices that are connected to Firefox Sync. No one, except the person with the right key of synchronization (the "owner" of this synchronization account) can use this data data are scrambled.

  I'm curious to see the full text of the last two files sync-newspapers, 11KO and 38 k is a lot more data than usual for a synchronization log. On my 3 accounts of separate sync I usually see sync-newspapers of 3 KB to 8 KB when there is an error-. Problem is that this forum software does not downloads of files and do a copy / paste of that data in the response box to retain the formatting of line - makes it very difficult to read and follow the sequence of events.

  Sorry, we did not have an outcome.

• I have a key to firefox sync. How can I synchronize a new device with it?

  I want to synchronize a new device, but all I have is a sync key and I can't find anywhere to enter the key of the synchronization. How can I do this?

  Firefox Sync (Aka recovery key) key has not been used since version Firefox 28. All you need is the email address used when you set up synchronization and the password for your account synchronization - assuming that you updated your account synchronization to a Firefox account after update beyond 28 of Firefox.

  And the former function of 'twinning' has disappeared, too.

• You send my user name, I asked my email three times, you did not send. It's for Firefox Sync, I have a new one, please send me my user name.

• Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one that uses the same email address?

  Hello

  I took off all my devices a synchronization of the old account and set up a new synchronization. In this process, I used the same as before email address.
  I have no use of my old account of synchronization, so the question is:
  Can I remove the old account from synchronization (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all associated data without affecting my new account of Firefox (and its data) somehow?

  Thank you!

  Even if you use the same email address the two synchronize the old and the new are separated. As long as you are sure that all devices use new synchronization then the old one is no longer necessary.

  Here is the main article for help on the new sync

  • This applies to the new sync
    Why can't I synchronize my passwords?
    This is a problem of security and may be overcome in a future version of Firefox or synchronization. It is one of the reasons for some users can stay on the synchronization of the former. Both versions offer slightly different regarding how and what features they will sync.

• New Firefox Sync does not work correctly. Bookmark cannot be deleted. Tabs are not displayed on the desktop.

  I have two problems with the synchronization again. The first problem is that none of my bookmarks or tabs of my office are appearing on my Android phone or work phone reverse on the desktop.
  The second problem is I'm trying to synchronize my favorites of the beta version of Android FF for the non - Beta Android FF that worked well until I corrected to remove several bookmarks I have anymore. I want to remove them, but I can remove them only on the beta version and then when I go to the regular version none of the changes have been synchronized. If I try to remove them from the normal version nothing happens at all.

  One thing to check is the android device and new update of office are on the same synchronization. To check on Android is this (not recommended) Firefox Sync account

  The other thing to check is if the tabs and bookmarks synchronization options are on for both devices in the page manage account.

  Is this the case?
