  I almost always have several tabs open in firefox and intermittently when I return to a window with tabs rather than open this window in my browser current firefox will launch a new (second) browser and open my old tab here - closing the tab in the first browser.
  I move between the tabs by clicking the tab and most of the time it will open the tab, but exactly the same thing intermittently will launch this second browser.

• Firefox is my default browser, but Bing is displayed when you open a new tab. How can I stop this?

  I installed Firefox as my default browser with Google as my default search engine. I've eliminated Bing in the drop-down list in Firefox of spare engines. However, when I am browsing and open a new tab, the Bing search page appears. Google is still in the line of research at the top of the page.

  It appears randomly in private browsing mode. When I check the history when Firefox is opened, it will appear, but when I exit and restart the history is clear.

  I've apologized for my ignorance and passed to the most recent stable version 16.01 and faithful to the word of Firefox Support, did not have my browser updated since... last few days when I first noticed the browser has been configured to be updated. I was overwhelmed by this discovery, but let it go, leaving some one-time glitch. But when I logged in again, the configuration ever update that I put my Firefox version 16.01 was still once configured to have set browser to date.

  I'm logged on and outside many times since and every time despite having set to never to be updated was in a position to update.

  So my question is, despite the use of the stable version of 16.01, how can I stop Firefox update my browser and even more annoying, how I've let him walk back after that I have disable the browser up-to-date?

  I love Firefox too never give it up, don't like Chrome, certainly not, IE what version
  a Firefox user since 2005.

  Any help, assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

• xdg-open does not take into account the url and opens the different website when Firefox is the default browser in Ubuntu

  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with Firefox version 38 for Ubuntu
  It is complected, and I tried to explain everything clearly.

  Today, I noticed a strange behavior.
  I have several URL saved as .desktop files.

  I use webupd8.org as example.
  The code for the exec in the desktop file is:
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open http://www.webupd8.org/
  

  Today, I noticed that if I try to go to webupd8.org, or most of the other sites, by launching the .desktop file for this site, or by typing the url
  Code:

  http://www.WebUpd8.org/

  in the dashboard Firefox opens to a completely different site. The site that opens is a site that I set up for my children's grandparents to watch videos and see photos of the children. This Web site opens each time. I'm not be directed to a site at random each time. This is the case when I try to visit the webupd8.org OR one of several websites using .desktop file or enter the url you want in the dashboard. Whenever I went to my own domain.

  It happens that I have also several sites registered in a reminder in the Firefox icon in the Launcher sidebar thing in Ubuntu.
  In the case of the beast, the exec code is slightly different and it still responds as it should. In this case, I have:
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab http://www.webupd8.org/

  Also, if I change my default in opera browser, for example as .desktop files and entering the url directly in the dashboard work as it should.

  To recap:

  When Firefox is the default browser, enter a url in the dashboard or use a to surf to a desired site .desktop file causes my be redirected to my own domain name (which is hosted remotely and not on this computer).

  If, however, I change the Exec command in the .desktop file
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  TO
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  the .desktop file will open Firefox and go to the desired site.

  If I change the browser by default Firefox to another browser, everything works as it should and has always so far. That is, with the Opera for example, both
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  and
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  result in the browser by opening and going on the planned site. Typed a url in the dashboard is not a problem if the default browser is not Firefox.

  Anyone seen this before? If so, how to solve it?

  Thank you very much for your answers!
  I checked the url of the home page in Firefox and it has been set at startpage.com, but then when I looked at the default programs in Ubuntu, I noticed that the default program for the web had been unintentionally configured to use a .desktop file that leads to t he admin for my Web site login page.

  I changed this back to Firefox and the problem was solved.

• How to stop Firefox to crush my last tab with Mozilla announced

• Incompatible with Firefox 31.0 Dashlane I try to recharge 30 Firefox 3.0.3. but it keeps downloading 31.0? How can I stop Firefox to upload on the new version?

  My Dashlane 3.0.3 is incompatible with Firefox 31.0. I meet this problem every time there is a new version of Firefox. In the past, I would go to the archives and get a Firefox from a number of earlier version and load this. For some reason, (probably simple). I will load the lower version and it will automatically install the next version number. I can't stop the automatic updates. I had installed Firefox 30.0 and it worked with Dashlane 3.0.3 but the system automatically downloaded the version more recent 31.0 number and of course, this is inconsistent. Dashlane is not able to write codes fast enough to install in due course to work with Firefox. I did was to say that Firefox was the only browser that I use and I used it for many years. I don't like Crome or IE. You're just a browser better, that's all.

  I didn't mean that somewhere, I lost my toolbar in Firefox and could not find a use which was also good. Just an info. You can send me any resolution you can find at: [email protected]
  Thank you for your help.

  You should not use older versions of Firefox, they are insecure, their use can lead to your personal information being stolen. Please update Dashlane to its latest version.

• Firefox does not delete browsing history in the address bar

  No matter what you with Firefox in clearing the browser history by going to the history-> delete history, recent and all delete or reset FF by accessing information from troubleshooting, Firefox does not browsing history. The Web site you have traveled still appear in the address bar.

  Several people have already complained about this (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the response from the staff of Firefox is that it is be a malware. That's not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in own computers Windows and Mac with Firefox, do the same thing, or rather not do what it is supposed to do: clean browsing history.

  How dangerous is that. Where your privacy? Firefox must find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they do it on purpose because it has not been fixed after him complains.

• How to stop Firefox 18 to restore the previous Session after a Crash

  Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7

  When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I don't want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How can I stop Firefox restore the previous session after an accident?

  Please note:
  1 - my homepage is set to 'white page '.
  2. I configured Firefox does NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields, and passwords.
  3 - even in Safe Mode (with all disabled add-ons), Firefox ALWAYS restores the previous session after a crash.

  Thanks a lot for your help. I hope that my vote immerses you in the category "TOP 9".

• Why links will not open an e-mail if Firefox is the default browser

  I still have this problem and now it's starting to affect the functionality of browsers and ease of use. When Firefox is my default browser, any link outside of Firefox (as in my e-mail address) will not be open that becomes a nuisance. I am running Windows 7, which can be the cause of the problem through a setting but I can't find the needle in a haystack, or it may occur to an update of Firefox. Firefox is my favorite and only since Netscape 1.0 browser, but if I can't solve this problem I'll have to switch to another which I really don't want to do. Help!

  Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, try downloading FireFox 13.0.1 from:

  FTP://FTP.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/13.0.1/Win32/en-us/

  This site is an official mirror of Mozilla and has the GpG signature file in the folder with the executable file.

  I had to go back to 13.0.1 to get my links to open correctly.
