My copy of Firefox (currently 15.0.1) is updated automatically but did not, so since August 2012, how can I fix?
The "Restart to update" button shows and did a restart, but there is no update.
I checked under 'OPTIONS': in the section "Advanced" tab Update 'automatically install"is selected. "Warn me if this turns off modules" & "Use a background service to install updates" is both checked.
I can download and install the latest version of Firefox, but how can I automatically keep it up-to-date?
Hello
Thank you. That would explain it.
When I migrated to Windows 7 was also when I first set up a separate account with a regular account for use "on a daily basis.
Which is when the automatic update has stopped!
Thanks again.

My problem started yesterday and I can't seem to fix the problem. Everytime I open firefox I am met with the annoying message of restoration, (it is usually boring, but because it happens every time I start firefox it really starts to bother me) even if I close all my tabs before hand, close firefox and then quit the program entirely. I can understand what happens if say that I force quit when I open tabs, but I'm not. And that too, has never been a problem before.
I use Firefox 20.0 on my Mac, running 10.7.5 (Lion).
I tried to uninstall/reinstall firefox.
I also deleted the sessionstore.bak and .js files. This fix works first, the first time I open firefox, but did not subsequently.Also, I would rather not completely turn off restore, if possible, because I might actually need to get my data at any given time.
I have three extensions on my browser: greasemonkey, Savior and Adblock tumblr more. Since I bought my computer 2 years ago, I had ABP on my browser. Greasemonkey and Savior of Tumblr I downloaded last night after this problem had already occurred.
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.

Since I upgraded to FF 41 X, my "page current bookmark" in firefox does not work... How can I fix it
No detail... it has just stopped working
You blew the 40 Firefox? This could be a problem with your add-on IE Tab - details of your Question > more system Details shows a plugin IE Tab then, probably, you have an IE Tab extension. Try to disable them.
Recent discussions on this problem of Firefox 40 days:
- Double click on the 'star' to your Favorites is no longer shows the menu tag and categorize. How can I get that back?
- Bookmarks will not save
If you are not familiar with the page modules, you can open it using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins and configure the plugin IE Tab 'never enable '.
In the left column, click Extensions. Then disable (or remove) any extension IE Tab and nothing else not essential or unrecognized.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled/removed to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

This problem apparently only occurs with the audio player built into http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ . I tried other embedded audio players from other websites and they work fine. In the Firefox installed in my laptop, no matter what I do it does not play the SGU podcast. When I try to click on the download option it says "Video cannot be read because the file is corrupted. However, I can play and download the podcast without any problem with Firefox installed in my PC, which is the exact same version that is in my laptop, so I don't really know what could be the cause.
I remember that this was not the case before the new design of Firefox. I tried the solutions proposed on this problem before asking this question. I checked that the plugins are up-to-date. I removed all the addons and plugins, and this did not help either. Firefox reset with no luck. Also tried a fresh install of Firefox and it didn't work. I used the laptop without synchronization first, and then synchronize with no difference. Flash is up to date and there is no apparent problems there.
Maybe it's a codec missing or damaged? I wouldn't trust codecs from sources other than Microsoft for this purpose, since Firefox tries to use Windows to read the file.
If you decide to give up and around the native player for a plugin, these changes of settings usually work for this:
(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 filter box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(3) [except XP], double-click on media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to change its value from true to false.
(4) double click on media.directshow.enabled to change its value from true to false.

Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

For example, I see something like this:
M ^ \text {T} \Omega M = \Omega\,.
and I do not see the image of the formula format. This problem will occur many pages of Wikipedia when I use Firefox to open.
Is he missing images then check that you do not block the images of certain areas.
You can press the ALT key, or press F10 to display the Menu bar
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.Search for "tools > Page Info > media ' blocked images
- Select the first link of the image, and then use the cursor key to scroll the list.
- If an image in the list is grayed out and 'block Images of..."is checked then uncheck this box to unlock pictures of this area.
Make sure that you do not block the (third) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the topic: config page should be 1.
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) and anti-virus software that can block the images and other content.

I have a Mac, and I use Firefox for years. Recently, I started having problems loading my emails from Comcast when I use Firefox. I am able to load my mail using yahoo and safari... but not on Firefox. Can I do to solve this problem? I tried to reset firefox several times... at first, it seemed to solve the problem, and then after the first 5 minutes, it was back to my emails does not. So I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled... but no luck in fixing the problem. Any ideas?
try to clear your cache and cookies to see if that solves the problem. Incase it doesn't work, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookie present as cookies.sqlite - journal in the Firefox profile folder where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.
Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

Firefox (v. 25.0.1) suddenly doesn't let me enter in Japanese. How can I fix it?
For some reason, all of a sudden Firefox won't let me enter in Japanese. (I use version 25.0.1.) Why did happen and what can I do about it?
I think that this problem is related to a problem that I am raising here:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/978034
If so, it's to do with the limitation of your default device input in Firefox 25.0.1 sources. You are using OSX and you have keyboard several layouts in your toolbar language drop down?

I have to adjust my cookies and I found the instructions on your site. When I followed the instructions, I found that it seems to an older version and not the new. The privacy settings are not the same because they were once and I can't make changes to cookies may except to remove them.
What I could do, it was to go to the "Firefox" tab in the upper left corner, go to history, clear recent history and so on. I can't make changes to a single cookie. It's all or nothing.
Are there any other ways for me to make the adjustments?
I had and tried to suggest what you say, and it has only caused more problems.
In addition, by clicking on the Firefox button orange > Options, it is not life private, click. Also, I'm supposed to go to ' advanced after Panel go to Options and that too is not available for me to choose. I think that these options would help me with what I'm looking for is that they have implemented the way they used to be. The instructions that the technical team or whoever is responsible for updates of Firefox, is not only a user can follow.

Firefox 42.0 automatically load a tab 'option' as if a Web site is selected. How can I fix it?
Firefox 42.0 automatically load a tab 'option' as if a Web site is selected. How can I fix it? I can't find any navigation to prevent that from happening. This started when "ask.com" hijacked my browser. I can now load my selected home page, but can not get the tab 'option' to appear automatically as well as my other sites selected in the tabs above. Thank you.
Firefox uses a vertical bar ("|") in order to separate several home pages.
You can check the setting of the home page to see if the subject: preferences page is included among the home pages (| subject: preferences #general).This can happen if you click on "use current page (s) ' to set the home page and about: preferences is open in a tab.
You can pin the tab with the subject: the preferences page through the context menu of the tab to avoid including: preferences for layout home page if you want to use this button in "Options/Preferences > general".
To set a page as the home page, you can drag the globe/lock for the home button. -
After the V43.0.0.5820, Firefox works but is invisible on the screen. I do not remember what version I have updated since then, but this is done normally under actual multiple monitors as with all other software installed.
Currently it is forcing me to use Internet Explorer, which works flawlessly.
If I stop actual multiple monitors, Firefox won't stay visible well that listed in Windows Task Manager.
When I'm out of multiple monitors, Firefox works normally.
How can I fix it?
I uninstalled V43 and re-installed V42. This seems to have solved the problem. I didn't answer on the forum of the AMM yet but it's still the early days. I'll post a response that I get to help a resolution.
