• How can I stop Firefox opening old windows/tabs after a crash?

  every time it crashes and I try to re-open the program, it opens all my old tabs and windows. often, these are the videos which all begin to play both. or worse still, it opens the page that did crash in the first place and crashes again.

  How can I stop this annoying feature?

  If there is no way to stop it, can you recommend a simple browser that don't try to think for you?

  The value of the integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes

  This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.

• How can I stop Firefox loads of tabs to open when I try to open an attachment?

  When I try to open a file in a file I receive plenty of tabs (295) without title and not open the file I want. It started yesterday when I tried to view my utility bill n now I can't see anything.

  You can have endless opening tabs if you have selected the application to handle a file if you get a window to Open with Firefox download.
  
  Firefox should not be selected as application to handle a file and you need to remove the action associated with this file type.
  
  You can remove mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder to reset all the actions or set the misfeasance in tools > Options > Applications for 'always ask '.

• How can I stop firefox open Web sites related to my search?

  Hello.

  I'm having a problem with firefox and it's getting really annoying.

  When I search something in the upper right search box, Firefox opens a Web site with my research already established in the site (e.g. ebay or amazon, but it is irrelevant because I am looking something like "How do I ") but I don't want to do that, he has never opened a site I want.

  I also disabled at each outside of google's search engine within the parameters of "search".

  I also refreshed firefox and reinstalled several times.

  Thank you

• How can I stop Firefox opening iTunes or ask me which application I want to use for the links from the itms/itmss?

  When I opened iTunes App Store link, Firefox wants to automatically open iTunes. In Options > Applications, I found the itms and itmss content types, which causes this behavior. I can change "always ask them", but when I do, I get a automatic every time I open the link asking me to choose between "iTunes" or "Choosing an Application." To avoid future pop ups, I check "Remember my choice for itmss links" but only after selecting iTunes or another application. There should be a third option there for 'doing nothing '. Is it possible to tell Firefox to ignore completely the content of the itms/itmss?

  Is there some prefs the protocol handler if you are looking for the topic: config page?

  • Network.protocol - handler.

  You just solved my problem - there is no Network.protocol - handler.external. itms or itmss prefs, so I added the Boolean values:

  Network.protocol - handler.external.itms
  Network.protocol - handler.external.itmss

  Set to false and voila! No iTunes, don't ask me what program to use.

  Hi keimanzero, in response to the suggestions of cor - el in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967218#answer-480480 you said you can't run Firefox.

  You don't need to run Firefox to open the folder of your profile (settings file) and rename or delete these files.

  To access this folder, paste this into the start menu search box and press ENTER:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  This should start the folder in a new window. So if you see multiple profile folders, click on in the most recent. Here, you find the prefs.js and user.js files noted by cor - el. A little luck?
