You have the Firefox icon in your quick launch?
Close Firefox. Right-click on the icon
and select open new tab. Sometimes, it works.
If it opens, close it by Menu > file > output.
Close all the rest, and then press the power button until the computer is turned off.

When I close Firefox, windows that were open when I closed Firefox are still open, when I click on a link to open a new window. I cleared my history and cookies and even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that did not work. I had this problem since upgrading to version 29. This isn't the only problem I have had with version 29. Anyone else had problems with version 29?
I ended up going in the settings to erase history and define it for clear history when Firefox closes and you select to erase history and kitchen and browsing history, the closing of Firefox. Now the links work very well and the last page I was watching until I closed Firefox is gone when it opens again. Problem solved!

GIF images play not when I close Firefox and open it again.
If I visit a website (for example http://www.sakisgouzonis.com) all GIF images work fine. But if I close Firefox and open it again (without hovering over the web page), all GIF images stand still. I have to spend on the web page for GIF images start to play.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

When I have 2 or more tabs open in my browser I want to close Firefox and save the tabs so when I open it again the sites will return. Use to do this, but something needs to happen. begin to close, now it asks me if I want to save sites
If you still want to open the sites that you opened before, in the Options dialog box, go to the general Panel and make sure that the parameter 'When Firefox starts' is set to ' show my windows and tabs from last time '. You will not be asked to save the tabs because they are automatically registered.
If it is set to one, but sites do not open when you start Firefox, open your profile folder and delete sessionstore.js and if there are sessionstore.bak. For more information on how to find your profile folder, see the article of profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data . Who can help if the file that stores the details of the session is corrupt.

Using Player Adobe 11, now comes up with an error, once the file is opened. "Invalid Plugin detected, will waive the software Adobe reader." Close the program so cannot display PDF files. Running windows 7. I uninstalled and reinstalled the same Adobe. Help
It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.

I'm trying to upgrade my software Macromedia Flash and I can't perform the upgrade because the dialog box tells me to close Firefox. I close Firefox and the process keeps telling me that it cannot perform the upgrade until I close Firefox Firefox is closed! Don't know what I can do.
If you have already downloaded Flash Installer, restart your computer, and then try to run the installer of Flash. then try launching firefox and upgrade to Firefox 11. Does it work? Usually problems like this are caused by a bad extension, so if it works, we can diagnose your extensions.

Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links. Just received message "Safari is closed." Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.
Third party extension and plug-ins?
If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues
The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.
The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.
If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.
Disable the Safari Extensions
You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.
- In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
- Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
- Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.
If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.
Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.
You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:
- The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type
/Library
and then click OK. - The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.
The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.
- Internet Plug-Ins
Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin. - Input methods
- InputManagers
- ScriptingAdditions
If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:
- Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
- Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
- If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
- If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.

My computer is set to the automatic update in Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for the office on 10-12-14, which seems to be at the start of my problems. This month, whenever my updates caused a restart, Mozilla has failed to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it lasted only a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it is still not open. All instructions to solve problems appear to be based on the idea that the program is open and just questions. I can't even open it in Mode without failure.
I tried to reinstall, and it says it will launch automatically when the installation is complete, but it does not work. As Norton scan every download before it works, I am not sure if this is the problem since I never get the window that indicates the setup step by step for Firefox.
What should I do?
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular resettlement performed using built-in installer. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu
Click the close button
).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.
Please report to say if this helped you!
Thank you.
