  • When I run firefox v42 mac, the Preferences tab load as well

    When I run Firefox version Mac 42 on Mountain Lion, my homepage loads perfectly, but another 'Préférences' tab always seems to load as well. How can I stop this other tab from loading? Thank you, Ken.

    Hi Ken, one of the possible reasons are if the preferences page has been added as a second 'Home tab' in which case it will be displayed in each new window (Cmd + n) and every time that you click the Home button.

    To verify that you can use the preferences, the general Board, the section to start page, as described in this article: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    In the area of the Home Page, look for a vertical bar separating two addresses of character. A simple example with short URLS:

    https://www.mozilla.org/|about:preferences

    The bar certainly can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of the bar, then the bar itself (I suggest to remove the last bar so things don't accidentally get it together).

    Despite my constant removal of Yahoo in all search preferences, it keeps returning automatically to my defaul for Firefox search. Help, please! I hate Yahoo!

    On Mac, this most commonly seems to be caused by Spigot or pipe modules, or something else that snuck in without being detected with other software that you downloaded.

    Please try to disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CMD + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete). Especially if you find something called SearchMe.

    Often, 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.

    Is that what helps you regain control?

    Hello

    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:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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."

    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.

  • My profile is missing for Firefox does not open. How can I reset it then?

    I've been using Firefox since one some time walking, but used a different browser as my main. Now that this browser is obsolete and there is no update available, I wanted to switch to Firefox permanently. Given that all my favorites are only updated on my old browser, I thought it would be much easier, simply uninstall and reinstall Firefox and automatically carried over to my favorites (since that first made some time ago). While looking up how to install it, I came across something that says that the bookmarks are stored in a 'profile' that had to be deleted to be reset. I followed the instructions to remove my profile, then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

    NOW, I'm going to open my newly installed Firefox and a window pops up that says: "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. »... Well, I wanted to start over completely, so of course I don't have a profile more. But my only option now is to click on this window, and Firefox disappears. No means to access anything whatsoever on Firefox, no options, no nothing so all of the so-called 'solutions' that I've seen (IE: reset the profile...) "I can't do that either!) It is impossible for me to do.

    All I wanted to do was end of beginning completely with Firefox which seemed to be a very simple solution and has now turned into a chore and an unusable browser. How can I reset or create a new profile without being IN Firefox to do? Deleted my profile an error? If so, your help page is very misleading!

    Someone please help. I really don't want to use a DIFFERENT browser.

    Thank you!!

    A possible/probable cause is 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 the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • 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

    How can I get a version of Firefox on my Mac?
    Everything else works perfectly.

    You have published with an Intel Mac, so you must have another who is Mac PPC. Fix?

    From Firefox 4, Mac must have an Intel x 86 processor (G5 is a Mac PPC) and OSX 10.5 or higher.

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.x supports even OSX 10.4 and Mac PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that the support for Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

    You can try the TenFourFox third-party product that supports the PPC Macs with OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8. There are 9 Firefox version TenFourFox . The product is based on versions of Firefox released. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

  • Firefox updates not - although I have OSX 10.5.8 it keeps saying I have too old a BONE. The auto-update for Firefox is grayed out. How can I update?

    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X 10.5.8. I get messages from Google that Firefox is an older version and need to update - so I went to the site of Firefox and the message said that "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox is not compatible with the operating system of your computer. Learn more. "When I click on learn more, it is said that Firefox only works with OS X 10.5 and 10.6... the auto-Setup box to update for Firefox is grayed out and not clickable in Firefox preferences, there is no manual download I can find - how can I make Firefox recognize my OS and allow me to upgrade? Thank you very much.

    PPC Macs are not compatible with Firefox 4.0 and later versions.

    For older Mac that are not supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox of PowerPC running Mac 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.

  • What are the minimum system requirements for firefox 5 forMac OS x

    When you published Firefox 4, it updated automatically on my Mac PowerPC osx 10.5.x and then would not be executed. I had to look for an earlier version, download and reinstall. It was awkward. I can't find min sys req for the new 5.0 version. Min sys requirements should be obvious in yor press. What is the minimum configuration required for firefox 5.0 for Mac osx, and with more frequent updates, how will I know when you have 'obsolete' another one of my machines, and how would I be protected to an update too far?

    Firefox 4 and 5 will not run on a Mac PPC; only on Intel. You can get the TenFourFox, which runs on a PPC.
