Refresh after Windows10 resembles the old Firefox; all pages in FF look 'safe mode' and other issues.
Hello
I recently downloaded Windows 10 and noticed FF goes really slowly. So in some way I have refreshed it. I knew that this would erase some bits of data, but now I am unable to restore things.
It looks like an earlier version. When I go to any page FF, everything appears in a list. I can't choose a new theme, for example, b/c the Mozilla page cannot display graphics. In addition, I'm typing this in Chrome b/c there is no text box when I open this page in FF. I don't want to go back to Chrome.
Thank you!
Thank you, in this case, please turn off https scanning in avast, as it is known to cause various problems:
- Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
- Select settings in the left side menu.
- Adopt a Protection Active.
- Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
- Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok.

Firefox not displaying only not the icons on web page correctly except in safe mode
Hello. We develop a website for the moment and I don't have FF in safe mode some of the icons are not displayed correctly. All other browsers work fine and it will display in FF without any problem. The site is www.livingonmars.com and the icons are the 2 arrows in the upper right of the slideshow. When in safe mode, I see two arrows. Boot in normal mode I see the bottom half of the arrow to the left and half the right arrow above.
In safe mode, modules and hardware acceleration are disabled. You can try disabling you modules one by one to see if that helps, or you can disable hardware acceleration by doing the following:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

I am now locked out of my pc because macros keyboard fill in my password.
This happens in normal mode or without danger and without connected keyboard or pc remote access (rd or logmein and unplugged keyboard)

I contacted support and they said that Windows 7 is supported legacy and would be a burden. They also mentioned that they could remote to my PC. I would like to see that when I don't have access to give them access.
Windows 7 end of mainstream support January 13, 2015<------This don't="" mean="" legacy="" to="">------This>
I have some ideas on how to fix it myself when I had the chance, I just want to see what other peoples thoughts are.
Thank you!!
Hi Phillips,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.
Let me try and help you with the problem.
1. do you get an error message when you press ENTER after filling in the password box?
2 did you face this problem after you assign the macro?
3 have you tried to use a different keyboard?
4. have you ever tried to use the on-screen keyboard?
Check if are able to use the on screen keyboard and be able to use the remove the filled automatically password and enter the password.
From the login screen, click on and choose the option Type without the keyboard (on-screen keyboard). Click OK.
If this does not help, go to the Windows recovery environment and perform a system restore and check the number.
In addition, see the article:

Let us know the result. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

After a system restart through Firefox it seems to act strangely, it crashes as soon as I open it. Tab says 'connection '.... ", but he has finally just stops responding.
Safe mode does not either, but private browsing is correct (which of course I would rather not use mainly).
I had a few tabs open and I suspect one of them could be a pain for the restoration of session to open it, so I thought I would try to hang on the sessionstore.js but unfortunately I apparently do not have a.
I tried to activate the function "ask before restoring tabs" but that did not help either.
You can try to set Firefox to open a blank page on startup and see if that fixes the problem. Go to tools-> Options, general tab and the value "when Firefox starts:" to "show a blank page".
You can always switch back to "show my windows and tabs from last time" once the crash is resolved.
If it turns out that a specific page was the cause of the crash, and you're ready to share the URL, please report it here. Thank you!

Need to access the old Firefox Sync data
If my hard drive crashed. Now I have a new hard drive with all my saved data and expected to be able to download all my data sync for Firefox. Turns out I was wrong. Apparently, I had to know that there is a new system of synchronization, and I had to go through this process to move my stuff for the new system of synchronization. Now, I have nothing run the old Firefox and my sync data are gone. Is there anyone who can help me?
There could be a more official way, but just think of what would be useful... You can get Firefox 28 in the following article, sync your stuff, convert your account and then finally update to 29 of Firefox: install an older version of Firefox.

After clicking on the link, Firefox opens 2 tabs double address of this link.
After clicking on the link, Firefox opens 2 tabs double address of this link.
Here is the site: http://www.hifishark.com/search?q=sonyOn the right side of the page, when I click on SHOW, 2 tablets of addresses duplicated this link open.
I've been on this site before and 1 tablet would open normally.I think this started to happen when I clicked on 'Restore Default Set' in the window customize the toolbar.
This does not happen with IE or Chrome browsers.
The link DISPLAY on top of the site, seems to be the only link that what is happening.
When I click with the right button on a SHOW and click on "Open link in a new tab" 1 tab opens.No change in safe mode.
This happens to someone else?
Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you
Hi jorb, it doesn't surprise me that scripts work sometimes differently in different browsers. Unfortunately, the scripts are hard to follow, so I can't offer a specific solution.

I've been running Firefox v. 18.0.2 and for a few days the application continually crashes whenever I open it. I am currently not able to enter in safe mode and it happens to all profiles on the computer. I went through and updated all my Add-ons, but the problem persists. I decided to re - install the application by deleting all the configurations that have been previously configured. I also tried to delete the entire folder to % APPDATA%\Mozilla. Up to this point, I am unable to get Firefox running.
Try to remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.
