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:

  • 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."

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.

  • 2 days from firefox opens Support FF tab as I just started, how it stop?

    Not sure, but about 2 days ago, when I started Firefox, my 2 standard tabs of Yahoo Mail and Facebook came but the first tab was 'Mozilla Support' as I join Firefox and I don't see any box anywhere to uncheck or check that says "don't show this again". Good info about it but I don't want to come whenever I start my laptop and bring up Firefox. How can I stop this tab from loading?

  • I used 'Customize Firefox' to change toolbars show, and now the Firefox Customize, tab keeps appearing no matter how many times I close.

    The window customize Firefox and tab guard popping open at seemingly random times. This continues to be no matter how many times I close.

    One possible reason is that if it was added as a second 'Home tab' in which case it will be displayed in each new window (Ctrl + n) and every time that you click the Home button.

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

    Look for a vertical bar character at the heart of the area that separates the two addresses. A simple example with short URLS:

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

    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).

  • URL during extraction from open tabs browser native... possible?

    Hi guys,.

    It is a long shot, but nobody knows if it is possible for an application to access the current location of browser? I mean, read the URLS of all currently open tabs from the native browser?

    Thank you

    Fred

    Hi Fred,.

    Unfortunately reading open the tab URL is not supported. It should be a platform-specific API (i.e. WebWorks), and my bet for its exclusion would be security implications.

  • Even if the setting is correct, Firefox does not windows and tabs from last time at the reopening?

    I have the habit of keeping three firefox windows open at the same time and I've always defined (under the general tab) ' display windows and tabs from last time '. It has stopped working. The setting is the same, but when I close and then reopen firefox, it opens the window only, not the three Windows I closed.

    It has already set to reopen tabs, and I have not erased from history. He left the reopening correctly this morning after I let him "verify" a signature on the Toastmasters International website downloading a form of voucher. I am running 8.0.1. He froze and crashed after that I have is allowed only. I have just discovered that I can reopen the tabs by clicking on "restore closed window" and the session I wanted. However the window of before the crash has lost, which means I had to rebuild my list of tabs. Recently closed tabs is grayed out.

  • Options set for the windows and tabs from last time

    Hello

    I put "Options/général" to display the tabs from last time. very suddenly earlier this week Firefox (I use Version 31) stop n apparent reason and since my tabs are is no longer registered despite article in the 'general' still reading of "save windows and tabs from last time '. How can I fix this? I tried one of the suggestions - remove the tick in the box next to 'do not load the tabs until you have chosen', but this made no difference. What I need to change something in the ' subject: config ' file?

    As well as to happen, my favorites have changed as well. Initially, the Bookmarks imported from Internet Explorer, and those created in Firefox was in a continuous string. There is now a separate file containing bookmarks to Internet Explorer. Is it possible to combine the two sets of bookmarks in a game as they were before?

    I know that the 31 Version has been updated, but the reason that I have not updated my current setup is that whenever I update Firefox something unexpected or undesirable occurs.

    It is best to not double-click the .js files: flowing through a shell script from Windows with potentially unpredictable consequences. To display as text, you can right-click > edit the .js file. (However, these files contain data which are difficult to interpret.)

    When the restoration of previous Session is grayed out, it can mean that Firefox (1) already restored your previous session or Firefox (2) did not find a historic session file. In this case, it seems that the #1 is more likely.

    The session history works in real time? I mean, if you right click on a link and open it in a new window, then close this window, the menu history lists it as a window, you can restore?

    So if you exit Firefox and restart it upward, is the closed window still listed in the history as a window menu, you can restore?

    This will stop and remove netcut and the problem of redirection.

  • How to stop the "Firefox" account set up the tab opens automatically

    My default home page is set to Yahoo, but everytime I open a new tab from the home page, the "Create a Firefox account" tab opens automatically every time. It is annoying because I double tabs I want open and need to keep close account of Firefox page. I don't want an account Firefox then how can I stop this tab always open?
    Thank you.

    Yes, this page is to create a Firefox Sync account.

    In order to change the URL of the new tab:

    1. Enter Subject: config in the address bar
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Find the line browser.newtab.url
    4. Double-click the value (present value should be https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/firstrun/) and enter another URL or on: newtab
    5. Click OK and close all: config tab

    Note
    The pref browser.newtab.url does more than 41 of Firefox.

    This is for security reasons: too many modules and malware use this feature to set their own new tab URL.

    Then, you can use this add-on: new tab override.
    When the add-in is installed, open about: config, find pref [email protected] and change the value to the desired URL.

    More details about this choice here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118285

  • How fix oblivion previously opened tabs when Firefox starts by clicking on a link in an external application?

    Hello, I have the boot option: "show my windows and tabs from last time" activated. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click on a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link is opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had open when I finally closed it, but all of the 'old' tabs are empty. Somehow fix this behavior?

    Deactivation of the modules does not help. By clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already open works OK. I use Firefox for some time short (probably half a year) and this problem was still there (not that is not due to a new update).

    Thank you.

    If Firefox is closed, and an external link opens Firefox, you must go to history > recently closed tabs and open tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't 'last session' will be gone and only one page than the open external program will be the new "previous session."

    If this is not satisfactory, you will need to install an extension of type "session manager" as well as "the last sitting" remember only.

    Search for AMO "session manager".
