• Firefox does not open on Windows 10 no matter what I try. Is there something that can solve this problem?

  I tried to contact support Windows 10 and they were useless. It was working fine all day and does not open all of a sudden.

  This sounds like a file in your Firefox profile may be damaged or not valid. To check if this is the case, you will need to create a secondary Firefox profile and test to see if you can open Firefox with this profile.

  This can be done using the Manager of profiles for Firefox which can be downloaded from Mozilla's FTP server. There is no installation required, the program is contained in a ZIP file. Simply extract the ZIP file and run the executable file inside.

  How to create a second profile Firefox, please see this support article:

  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox

  Note: Do not delete the old profile because if it is damaged, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and settings. For more information on how to proceed, please read the article of the recovery of data from an old profile .

• 26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

  26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it load the previous session, regardless of what has been entered in 'Options '. The browser runs in Win 7.0 64 bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides security features. There are some solutions 'cloud', also running as Google Drive, box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves in the same way in all my machines (installation and the OS is similar to that described above) and no amount of reset 'Options' seems to affect it. Nor is it affected by the way that Firefox is closed. This is obviously a bug that should be fixed.

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

• Why FIREFOX will not save my HISTORY of parameters of USE CUSTOM settings?

  It is very very annoying. I'm ready to throw the bucket of bit of this program.
  I use it to access facebook and play farmville. I need to not FORGET things so that whenever I load farm town should not have their server stuff...

  Whenever I open fire fox and go to the who's who and load farmville I get a message that says I can load faster if I allow them to store data on my computer...

  I go into the settings of firefox and find that my history preferences won't save 'USE the PERSONALIZED SETTINGS.

  I need to change every time. I have the 32-bit and 64-bit of Nightly (beta version) on my computer.
  I completely removed those two, restarted windows 7, rebooted again, re-installed fire fox and it STILL happens...

  Why? I'll be darn if I use Solution Explorer, but at least it will SAVE the settings and gets their damn!

  Hello

  See the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Make sure you have not a user.js or mozilla.cfg file set your preferences each time you restart Firefox.

• After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

  I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

  I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

  Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

  My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

  Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

  Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

• Why FireFox will not save my newspaper in my homepage?

  Until the most recent upgrades, Firefox automatically save my log in information for my home page. This is no longer. When I launch Firefox now, I click on Sign In, choose my password saved (from Roboform), and I'm connected.

  Sometimes I can close Firefox, reopen it, and I am always connected. Most of the time when I close Firefox and reopen it, I have to reconnect. I have the same parameters in the last version I've had previously, but still have problems.

  I tried all the 'stuff' standard (ensuring saved passwords, etc), but nothing changes. I uninstalled Firefox and started "from scratch", but it did not help. I'm puzzled.

  BTW if I use Internet Explorer, my connection settings are saved. I want to use Firefox but signature every time is a pain.

  Thank you.

  It was very good work. Play well.

• New Firefox, will not save the homepage and will open and display all add-ons every time!

  Okay - years old now, I used Firefox ONLY - he had the best extensions and modules from any other browser out there. Add to that, it is safe and very fast. This is my default browser.

  This week I logged on my DeviantArt site and odd ads began to appear in the lower corners left and right of the browser, unlike what I'd never seen before. Add to that, they were very inappropriate. So I guess something was wrong and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I got "bugs" the origin of the problems. And of course, there was a kind of nasty bug in Firefox, causing all sorts of questions.

  So, following the suggestions to fix, as well as the suggestions on here, I uninstalled Firefox (21) and then reinstalled the new version, 23. At first, I thought, ' Wow, this is really very fast! When I opened Firefox it does not go to my home page, he went to the Firefox start page, as well as the opening of the tabs for EACH add-on and extension!

  Yes, open tools, Options and reset the home page of my homepage, https://www.google.com

  Simple and something I've done before. I'm a geek and have worked on my own additions. Set up my home page, has been working in Firefox and went to youtube to download a video it would not! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings and voila! No problems!

  So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. It was last night. This morning, I start the computer and the first thing we do is to open Firefox. And what happens? Oh, Yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I wanted TO! It's back to the start page of Firefox, and it opens tabs for EACH SINGLE module!

  Holy carp, tired now. So I research of 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so a little more than 5 hours, that I keep trying to fix it based on instructions of Firefox. Go to topic: config, work on channels, change the info from the home page, etc. Save it. Return to tools, Options, and there is my home page. Close Firefox and open and what the heck? Once again, back to where it was, opening, as if I just downloaded this browser. Now, I spent literally HOURS trying to solve this problem and I am so frustrated that I'm almost ready to uninstall it! My one complaint is that I've looked everywhere to try to find this same problem and it does not. Is true, I am the only one having this weird problem?

• my new version of firefox will not save my user name and passwords - why?

  My version before I updated to 4 saved all my usernames and passwords. Since the update to version 4, it records only a few. I checked that I'm not running in privacy mode and have checked remember passwords and have a master password in the Security section. I have a laptop with Windows Vista.

  Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

  If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

  If a Web site creates the login via JavaScript form then the password manager does not offer to store both passwords (Bug 518516).

• Firefox will not save my Yahoo mail passwords, but will be exploring.

  Firefox allows to save passwords of yahoo Mail, but lately, doesn't seem to work. I have 2 email accounts and password with Yahoo. I read through and clicked on all the things on which allows passwords to be saved, but nothing works. I don't have this problem with Solution Explorer. If it's just something that Yahoo has been close Firefox then so let it be, but if there is something that can be done I would appreciate the help.

  I read through the other Q & A on this point, it looks like a big problem everywhere, but many solutions say on bookmarks, etc I do not understand what to do. Many say "resolved", but I don't see any solution.

  _{remmed on my first temporary comment}

  Hello, Web sites can specify whether browsers should be able to save the name of user and password (through the AutoComplete = "off" attribute in the login form in the HTML source)-this is also the case with yahoo.

  You can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this restriction.

• I installed 8.0.1 and when I try to bookmark a page, Firefox will not save the bookmark. Do not import or restore either.

  I downloaded Firefox to reinstall. After installation, I opened a web page and tried to bookmark. Firefox opens a small format that I am to fill, provide a name and other information for the bookmark. I filled out the form and click 'done '. The form disappears. If I click on "Bookmarks" in the menu, I can't see not all bookmarks. a few commands for "show all bookmarks, bookmark this page, bookmarks bar and bookmarks-not sorted." View all bookmarks opens a window of the library. It is empty. None of the functions (Import, restore, etc.) anything, but no error is thrown. Displays bookmarks bar a side pop-out menu with 'Empty' written in it. Unsorted Bookmarks empty library is displayed again. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times, cleaned the registry, etc. and it continues to refuse to bookmark the pages. But seems that Firefox KNOWS that the page is bookmarked. The URL will pop up as I start to type in the address field.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• Firefox will not save the names of user or password

  I have Firefox at work, where they have a policy file that prevents me to set a homepage, by setting Firefox as default and remember history.

  Now, because I used sync at work and at home sync to synchronize my favorites, I can no longer set the homepage to home, put Firefox by default, or save the data of login/password or search history. The only thing that remains is favorite.

  Hi there, please check your preferences. Check if Donot forget not the history is enabled or not.
  If Yes, then firefox behaves as incognito mode, change it to remember the story to solve your problem.

  Hope that helps.
  If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to ask at any time.
