Firefox will open a bookmark marked pages only
After updating Firefox 20, I can open only the websites that I have bookmarked it or who are in my story. If I manually enter a url or click a link that would open up in a new tab, nothing happens. I don't see any error messages, and I don't have any add-ons installed. Even to access the topic: config does not work.
I backed up my profile and created a new profile without success. I also tried to restart the computer, Firefox Reseting, performed a clean install and nothing seems to work.
It's on a domain running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit computer. Any ideas?
Question business network environment:
20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\jscher2000). A Firefox emergency release is in testing now and should be released in a few days to solve this problem.
In the meantime, one solution might be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could switch to Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

Here are a few things you can do additional tests:
(1) when you download the newsletter, it is in PDF format?
(A) on your Mac, you may need to name the file downloaded with a .pdf at the end of the file name extension so that it can open in Adobe Reader (or an extract or other PDF reader that you use).
(B) on your PC, can you say display the newsletter if it's displaying in the plugin Adobe Acrobat, PDF Viewer integrated Firefox or another plugin?
(2) more suggestions if necessary.

When I downloaded, I also choose to import IE Favorites and they all appeared. When I opened the bookmark icon, the "mark this page" command is missing, so I can't to bookmark a page. Everything else seems normal. It is an old computer running XP.
Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you are using the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt + F to open the file menu and other menus such as the Edit (Alt + E) menu and the menu bookmark (Alt + B) and compare that to what you see, if you use the mouse to open the menu after the bar of menus visible by typing Alt or by pressing F10.
- "To bookmark all tabs" (Shift + Ctrl + D) is no longer present in the menu bookmarks unless you open the bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
- "To bookmark all tabs" are available through the context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
- 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible through the context menu of the browser page.

Suddenly, about 3 days ago whenever I click a shortcut on the desktop to a Web site, firefox opens a google home page. the only way I can use firefox to access websites is to type a url into the address bar on the google page. all my desktop shortcuts open up to the google home page.
major problem is that desktop shortcuts show url until firefox opens the Web page.
so unless I know the url and type in the address bar of google homepage, I can't access
one of the shortcuts on my desktop.It could be that you have some bad-ware problems. First update of Firefox.
then;==========================

The goal is to embed a link in a word which, when clicked, opens the bookmarks bar and adds some bookmarks in the document. Another option would be that the link create icons from desktop to Web sites. The main deal breaker is we do not want to change the registry for this. All creative solutions are welcome.
Thank you
If it's for users as a whole and not in a given organization, forget the idea of profile, that would be much too intrusive.
As noted by cor - el, an extension would have privileges to perform these changes. Some resources on developing extensions, since it is beyond the scope of this forum:

Firefox 5 worked well. I installed Firefox 7, and when I ran, tabs just say «connecting to...» "and hang up. Rebooting did not help. Sites Web open correctly in IE and Chrome. Disabled all firewalls and antivirus, nothing helped. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5, everything has worked again. It was using Vista 64-bit.
Upgrading to Windows 7, uninstalled Firefox 5, installed Firefox 7, had the same problem. Uninstalled Firefox 7 completely (including profile information, I saved this information in another file), restarted the computer and installed Firefox 7 using a clean profile. Do not install add-ons, checked to make sure that all plug-ins were updated and updated plugins up-to-date.
Now when I run Firefox, I can load 3 or 4 or 5 tabs very well - after these first tabs bit are open, I can not open or refresh all other tabs - with about: config and the add-on Manager - I have to restart Firefox. The hangup does not appear to be associated with what websites I try to open, but it seems that the number is the problem. I ran through all the procedures of the FAQ, including changing the maximum number of connections to 48, and the problem does not seem to go away.
As a side note, I had this same problem when I tried to go from version 5 to version 6 more. Version 5 is the latest version which worked on my system.
The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.
Try to decrease the value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections from 255 to a setting like 30 such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

Firefox not open correctly the web pages
If you use firefox I'm unable to open web pages correctly, I use talktalk.co.uk as my home page, it has always worked before, now all I get is a string of words, this also applies to many other web pages. Yet on the Internet explore page opens correctly. Using Firefox 11
Hello
Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is correct, you can later copy the necessary personal data of the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in a different location (folder profile) separated from its files/folder. A new profile would have default Firefox settings in Tools (Alt + T) > Options and topic: configand generally would also void of Extensions and themes (appearance) in Tools > modulesand their parameters. In addition, a new profile would have no previous stored site cache, cookies, data, preferences etc. (Tools > clear recent history).

Recently, I tried to open some files in Adobe to view on my company computer. They have been recorded on my shared drive companies, and everyone seems to be able to open the files very well. When I try to open the files the program proceeds to open Firefox and wonder through the internet, if I want to download the file. At the beginning it wasn't a problem, because it was just a minor inconvenience. So today, I was working in a folder containing several files PDF (about 125 to express my frustration) and when I click on a file to open it, Adobe proceeded to open all PDF files in the folder. This means that each file opened a new tab in Firefox and proceeded to ask me if I wanted to download it. As I hope you can tell, I quickly became frustrated because I wanted only one file and it would not stop opening new tabs to ask me the same question 125 times. The only way to stop it was to open the Task Manager and go forward to force Firefox altogether.
I tried to update the program on my computer (it was already up to date), I tried to update the plugin Firefox (it was already up to date) to adobe, I tried the repair Adobe Reader Installation (it doesn't make a difference), and I searched the internet for information about the problem (I was not successful in finding something that relates). According to me, the only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the program on my computer, something I do not want to make I already said that it is a company computer.
If there is someone who can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.
Then, you need Adobe Reader, the default application to open PDFs, instead of FireFox. I think that FireFox just started doing this, and it is causing some confusion.
As well as the normal way of Windows to change the default application, which is not also known as it should be, you should be able to use Adobe Reader. In Edit > Preferences in the General section and see if there is a button "select default PDF Manager."
