You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

I have reset firefox have now no menu bar and pressingf alt does not work
I have reset firefox reported he turned slowly and had other problems at the start. Now, I have no menu bar and the alt button does nothing. Restored to the comp hoping that it can be useful but it did not. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.Hi, first try restarting Firefox. If this does not work Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start mode safe" - does NOT REFRESH!
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

Cannot search web sites unless I have reset firefox whenever I want to use firefox
Whenever I open firefox and try and perform a search on any web site, Firefox stops working unless I have reset firefox. I don't want to do every time, it does specify that when firefox upgraded to 20.0.1
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

Only products of Apple of love before updating the version 9.0.2
iOS 9.0.2 happened some time. The last iOS is iOS 9.2. If you have not updated, updated. If you restored to the factory, it must have downloaded iOS 9.2. Also, if you restore to the factory and the problem is still there, then you must make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple store or Apple authorized service provider or call the Apple Support to have the device examined by Apple. There seems to be something wrong with the screen.

Have renewed my subscription ExportPDF, have the confirmation e-mail, but still up pop with window 'your course has expiré' when will convert via the printer driver window. Comments / help welcome thanks :-)
Hi azza675,
ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and many others). What you describe, sounds like you are trying to convert a file * to * PDF. Have you ever started a trial of Acrobat, maybe? (So that you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF don't allow you to convert files to PDF.)
What happens when you connect directly to ExportPDF to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?
Best,
Sara

My Avast antivirus tells me it blocks "JS:Iframe - DPX [Trj] Infection" whenever I use Mozilla. I have removed and reload Mozilla but not always the message. Can someone tell me how to remove this virus that apparently focused on Mozilla. Thanks Bill
If the problem is caused by an extension, you may need to remove. At this point, I would be just guessing because there is no a list in your system more details.
Opened to the top of the Add-ons page, using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then consider whether you know it's useful and do not forget to install it. If this is not the case, turn it off and if it looks suspicious, remove it. (Sometimes a button Delete is not available when the extension has been installed outdoors. We'll come back)
Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

I downloaded a plugin (module) of Facebook on my toolbar and it made my whole computer run slowly. I disabled the add-on, removed the toolbar, and everything was always super slow. I went troubleshooting and press reset firefox. It was in the process of resetting, and my screen went black. I thought it was just the screensaver, but after pressing the space bar, screen did not return. I have made a difficult exit on my Mac and restarted my computer. On my desk, there are now a record that says "Old Firefox Data". When I try to open firefox I get a message stating "unable to load your firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. I tried to reinstall firefox, for example, to have the same result. Help!
The name of the file should not be mozilla-bin, but firefox-bin

I have reset Firefox and now I've lost the Favorites and the custom toolbar.
I can't restore my custom toolbar. Got back bookmarks by following the instructions found. I can not understand how to restore the toolbar... I go to the "Troubleshooting" information and I click on the "view files", but the only 'local' in my opinion, is not dated before I reset Firefox and I do not understand ' click on Firefox and while it repairs... etc. ". I am pretty good at following instructions, but these baffle me. Help, please!
I haven't seen that pop up...
If you want to try to roll back the clock I can describe a procedure to do this. In short, it would be to create a new folder of parameters (a new Firefox profile), deletion of the contents of this folder and copy the contents of your old data from Firefox on the desktop file.
Does not take long, if you are interested, but then you have to troubleshoot why the old profile was slow. Here's how:
Resucitating your profile before reset
(1) create a new Firefox profile:
Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in this article:
Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box. When you create a new profile, I recommend that you use the suggested default location, not to delete all profiles without first making backups. For quick reference, name the 12 profile so you can easily recognize.
(2) when you start in the new profile, it is almost empty. Open the profile folder using
Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.
The bar of Windows Explorer should show a name combining random characters with 12.
(3) keep this folder open, exit Firefox. Allow a few moments for Firefox complete update of the files in the profile folder. Then delete the contents of the folder new profile. This will leave you with a profile folder 12 vacuum.
(4) in a separate window, open the folder of old data from Firefox on your desktop. Copy all the data of this file in the profile folder 12 vacuum.
(5) run Firefox. It is expected to launch in which looks exactly like your discount to zero prior configuration.
Now on troubleshooting. If Firefox feels slow, I suggest starting with Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help
Help > restart with disabled modules
In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)
Any difference?

I've tried time and again to send this file. I've never synced before so I got that all set in place. Then ask master passwork safety device. So don't think that I had never set up an account and created the password. When you try to send email that I ask to link it goes to 'box' and I allow thunderbird to use use it. can he request master password and I type that in and it doesn't work. I have reset master pw for firefox and thunderbird and still can't make it work. I don't really know what I'm doing here so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If the error message is:
The message is "Please enter the master password for the software security device."then, it is possible that you have defined a master password in Thunderbird.
The password protects the passwords of account that Thunderbird remembered. You can reset the password. More information in this article.
Each account will have a password is the same one used to access the webmail account using a browser.
However, it is quite easy to find this password, if other people have access to your computer user account.A master password is used to protect against people to see these passwords if they get access to your computer user and Thunderbird account.
