• Firefox crashes immediately.

  I open Firefox and immediately get the Mozilla Crash Reporter: 'we're sorry. Firefox has been a problem and crashed. We will try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. I click on restart Firefox button, and the reported crash window reappears. It happens regularly. I did a clean reinstall as in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_firefox, but reinstall leads to the same result. Last 5 reports of incidents are:

  It's a clean install of the latest version.

  I am running Windows7. There was a Windows Update yesterday - might have had something to do with it.

  Please do not ask me to do anything inside Firefox. I can't open it.

  Hi, please provide crash IDS. looking at these reports, it seems that this may be caused by external software on the computer. go to control panel of your system and remove any software marked 'Freecorder"or similar, or by the Publisher"Applian Technologies"or any other toolbars.

• Firefox sometimes does not open and an error message is displayed

  Sometimes, when I try to open Firefox, it displays an error message saying that the file is not found. I have to close the dialog box and try to open the browser again and again until it actually opens. In general, this happens in the 2nd or the 3rd test, but may take longer. In addition, this only happens whenever I try to open Firefox. Is there a problem in the installation? The program itself works completely fine when I'm on it to open it.

  Maybe it's your AntiVirus software take some time to allow Firefox work.

  You can temporarily disable or uninstall your AV for that study as a possible reason. Maybe for safety run all such a test if not connected to the internet.

• I can't open Firefox. I am slot Win IE 8.1 opens immediately.

  It started yesterday, but now is serious. Help, please.

  Hi budcohen,

  Make sure that nobody plays a practical joke on you by changing which opens your shortcut. Right click on your shortcut of Firefox and check the "Target" line on the shortcut tab. It should read:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

  If you notice that the shortcut will be headed to another (for example ' iexplore.exe'), or delete the shortcut and make another change the target line to what I posted above. I'm not too familiar with Windows 8 interface, so if you create a new shortcut, it might be better if you take a peek at:

  • https://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-in-Windows-8/8392fa9d-62ec-46a9-BA06-31c08f21854b

  If the above doesn't help you, you can download the latest Firefox on the official website of Mozilla here:

  • https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/new/
  • (for full installers in all languages) https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  When you uninstall Firefox from the control panel > programs and features, be sure not to delete personal information if you want to keep your bookmarks. After uninstalling, you must also remove the Firefox directory in Windows Explorer as well in order to remove any residual files issues the:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\

  The information in your profile (including your bookmarks) are stored in a separate location so will not be affected by this deletion. If you want to stay on the good side, you can save your profile by following these guides:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/profiles-where-Firefox-stores-user-data#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-Firefox
  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
  • Bookmarks are specifically found in the file places.sqlite (see recovery of data from an old profile)

  Let us know if it works!

• translucent rectangle top-left when opening firefox

  When you first open Firefox a little translucent rectangle approx. 3cm x2cm appears in the upper left corner
  It then everything disappears

  could this be a tracker?

  I googled to no effect
  Addons then by restarting the deactivation does not work, and I can't find out how to disable the hardware accelerator.
  I completely reinstalled the operating system I have three on separate partitions
  I use ubuntu11.10 Atm, but it happens on all my linux os I haven't checked much windows
  any advice would be welcome.

  Hello.

  I would also like to join in this conversation, because I also see this translucent rectangle then start firefox. I have Firefox 16.0 on VM, and he did not have this behavior. I'm sure that's not a bug, but it's ugly. Firefox is very good browser and should display its main window immediately.

  Thank you

• options window opens when I open firefox

  How to stop the window options to open when I open firefox I get both when opening

  Both what? do you mean your home page and the settings page?

  Type of topic: preferences #general< enter > in the address bar.

  There are two settings;

  • At the start of Firefox

  When the browser is started, what you want
  view. Many of us choose view my homepage.

  • Homepage

  When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.

  1. Use current Page. Use the pages that are never open at this time.
  2. Use the bookmark
  3. Restore by default. topic: Home shows a home page of Mozilla with tools.

  You can use one of these as you want;

  topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
  on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
  Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

  or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

• Yosemite MAC, when I open Firefox I get two windows, when I click on a link in mail, it opens a window not a tab.

  I place the FireFox icon in the dock. When I click to open FireFox it opens two windows both to the homepage. When you click on a link in the email, it will open a window behind the first window rather that open in a tab. There used to be a preference re: opening links, but given that it was useful, it seems that Apple has removed this option unless it's hidden somewhere I can't find.

  What you have is, in my view, two problems.

  Download the Mozilla search reset {web link}

• Two Add-ons every time I open Firefox; same versions, over and over.

• Bar bookmarks above URL bar when I open FireFox

  For some time now, every time I open FireFox, the menu icons toolbar and the bookmarks bar are past positions so that the bar menu is immediately above the tabs icons, and the Favorites bar is that, rather than the reverse (see screenshot). If I open customize it and then close it, without changing anything, they commute and go back where they should be (bookmarks bar above the tabs toolbar menu above that), but it's annoying to have to do that every time I use FF. I only have a single extension associated with menus, tabs on the bottom bars and I have disabled it and restarted FireFox, but it does not solve the problem. I also tried to change themes, nothing helps. Is this a bug or is at - it a setting I can change?

  Other stuff that may or may not apply: I the awesome bar, URL bar and all my icons menu (without text) on a single line. I have also seen text menu bar. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, res 1152 x 864 with text to 125%. I always have at least a couple of the pinned tabs.

  On another computer I use (the Windows 7 Home Premium, 1366 x 768 res, 100% text, also always have something stuck), I don't have this problem. However, on this computer, it is empty space vertical between the tab bar and the bookmarks bar, as if another bar should be there (see second screenshot). I realize, there are two separate issues, but still, they both seem to suggest a problem of overflow, so maybe not.

  This can happen when you move the bar to its default position tabs top to down just above the content of the Web site.
  This doesn't seem to work properly.
  Usually the toolbars bring back in the right order if you open the window customize.

  Try the userChrome.css I posted in this thread:

• How can I get rid two tabs to open when I first open Firefox?

  When I first open Firefox I get my home page in a tab, but also another tab opens. This one is set to Facebook. How can I get rid of the opening automatically second tab?

  You get two pages if you launch a new window using either:

  • CTRL + n
  • button '3-bar' menu > new window

  If Yes:

  Check the settings of your home page to see if you have several home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows you where to check them in the Options dialog box: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings. This article has more background on several tabs home: How to set the home page.

  If not, or if the Options dialog box is correct:

  Add-ons - can display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, this is the URL to normal Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) or to a different address?

  Do you have any extensions related to Facebook? You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

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

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

  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.

  Any improvement?

  Huh, that's news...

  You can try Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. I think that it is an extension.

  • Run firefox.exe - safe-mode in the search bar in the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
