How can I stop Firefox to return to the previous window, as soon as I open a new window?
In recent versions of Firefox, whenever I chaque fois que j' ouvre opens a new window, as soon as the window opens, Firefox goes back to the previous window, the one that was on the screen before I opened the new window. This is very irritating and not happened in older versions of Firefox.
Any suggestions how to solve this problem? Thank you!
FYI, this isn't a forum threaded, so answers are displayed at the bottom...
DOM.disable_window_flip is a true/false preference that determines whether a script in a web page is allowed to change orientation between the windows of Firefox (in general, to be in front, or pop-under by making the window from which it was opened at the front).
By default, this preference is set to true to disable the windows around Web sites to move, but it is possible that the setting has been changed. To view/change this preference, you can use the subject: configuration preferences editor.
(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the Search box that appears above the listfilter, type or paste the flip and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(3) double-click dom.disable_window_flip to light it between true and false.
Edit: Corrected by the post below.

I received a prompt on my Ipod touch 5th generation yesterday, that there is a new update of the Messenger application. So I tried to update, however, the app is now stuck on the phase "Waiting."... "and the logo has been disabled. I still get notifications of new messages from the app, but I can't open. I tried to remove and then reinstall the application but the application did not and the app store think that I always opened it. How can I fix this or return to the previous edition that worked?
Thank you in advance!

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.

How can I stop firefox trying to restore my previous sessions
Since I updated to firefox 20.0 I had a problem with firefox. Whenever I start firefox I get a message saying that it is so embarrassing to try but not to restore my previous session and it gives me the opportunity to be close the page and go to the home screen, or to restore my previous session. My preferences has the show my home page selected, every time I close Firefox, I close the page by pressing the red x, and then I put the firefox icon or the tab of firefox at the top of my screen and select Exit. I have reset firefox twice and that no longer works.
A possible cause can be that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.
Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

How can I stop Firefox my default browser, to have to ask permission whenever I open it
It's only a small thing, but everytime I open my default browser, Firefox, upward appears the page asking me to give permission.
A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.
Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.- Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected
Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator. -

How can I stop Firefox Sync to synchronize the on/off status of the addons?
I like that Firefox Sync allows you to synchronize the addons are installed in my browser, but I don't like that she insists on synchronization also their on/off status.
I have a desktop computer, a laptop and a work computer, and I cannot or do not want to run all the addons everywhere. For example, I want to run NoScript at work, but I don't want to run it at home because I have something implemented at the level of the router.
Do I have any options in addition to throwing the baby out with the bath water by completely disabling the addon sync?
I found a solution on my own. I should have researched more before asking, but maybe that this will help others also:
Edit: I've tested this and it seems to work.
