My computer was working fine until I installed Office 365. I called the technical support on the office and they said that it was not the office which was the cause of the problem. Any suggestions?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.
How to make 'save and exit' return?
Thank you
Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
- Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning
If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:
- Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the general Panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

Why firefox can not open with the default profile. It should be renamed?
trying to install "malwarebytes" for extra protection, the Norton toolbar on firefox has been reduced in size by losing my option "Vault". This prompted reinstalling on securities Notion which then prevented the opening of firefox. Internet Explore works well but I use firefox for years so why change. Firefox won't open (even after being uninstalled and downloaded and reinstalled. The message 'your firefox profile cannot be loaded, etc.' following the instructions of your forum, I locate a profile with the word 'profile' embedded file. The word "profile" in the flow path is preceded by a weird name (such as a foreign name). Path =
'C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bzjajhor.default-1419035389504 '. This file needs to be renamed and can they?Please help me to go back to firefox. Thank you
Do not rename a profile folder.
It seems that there is a problem with the profiles.ini.See:
This is usually caused by a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. - Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
You can use one of them to make Firefox/reuse to create a new default profile:
- Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
- Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\

If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.
Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)
Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?
Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.
(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.
(3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.
The possible values for this preference are as follows:
-1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current pageThere are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.
Any difference?

Installed Flash Player 14, now I can not open a new tab

Email links will open new tabs - will be so some internet links will open new tabs - but by pressing on the '+' does nothing. I tried to reinstall Flash Player. I tried to download and install a new Firefox.

In some cases, leave Safe Mode and starting Firefox regularly works automatically (like blow off the dust).
But more often one of your extensions must be updated or disabled in order to recover the missing functionality. Understand what extension sometimes take a bit of work.
Try first, extension update. You can do this on the page modules. Either:
- Command + shift + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find the "gear" button and use the check for updates.
You can also use this page to disable extensions that could be the culprit, or click in their dialog boxes Options (if available) to see if there is a setting for this.
A little luck?

I can not open a new window of google search. (on linux ubuntu 12.04)
I can not open a new tab in google's search results... IM usin linux ubuntu 12.04, if someone can help?
Have you tried middle, click on the link on the page of Google results?
If you left click then you will need to check the Google search parameter through the gear on the results page icon.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).
