!. It is a real message of Mozilla, or is it a phishing message?
2 should Whtat action I take in the future?

1. no that is not true. Mozilla has never communicates by telephone.
Sounds like malware on your PC.
2. ignore in the future.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Why do I get messages saying that I have not destroyed tabs; I ususally click on the red dot. why I get this error message?

    In the past I could navigate from one site to another without closing a tab. The messages now appear that say I have does not close a tab and need to close or to restore. I tried closing of tabs as I've used them but my tab bar shows no tabs open when I close Firefox. When I restart Firefox I get messages saying that I did not close the tabs! It's very annoying. How do I put it back for when I click the red dot, it is closed. and when I restarted Firefox it just goes to my home page? I use a Mac 10.6.8

    No, there is no problem now with this parameter when the bug is fixed.
    the problem is basically firefox 20 wrong classifies this way to close the browser as an accident & will launch the restore function of session at the next launch of the browser. the key to everything: config above completely shuts down service sessionrestore for accidents.

    Once the bug should be fixed in firefox 21, I would recommend resetting browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash back to its default value "true" If, so that you get the benefit of a restored session, where firefox crashes really some time.

Now, Adobe told me, because I did not disable the software on my labtop or something and I used the Setup key twice on my desk, because the repair shop had revised my turn, I have a new hard drive, I lost all my files on this hard drive, (I Carbonite Backup so I am well their) and so I tried to reinstall my Photoshop software on my same but repair hard drive.

    Salvation exodus REV,

    You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?

    I recommend you to uninstall Avast! & Comodo temporarily from Add / Remove Programs. Later, check to see if the problem persists.

    To uninstall Avast!, you can use utility aswClear to uninstall Avast!.

    For more information, refer to this link: Uninstall Utility

    You can not install Comodo since Avast! has a built-in & antivirus firewall.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.
