Sometimes, the tabs in Firefox do not close by clicking

• Windows Firefox will not close.

  Hello
  I am running windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.1. whenever I click on the Red 'x' to close Firefox, Firefox will not close. If I want to close all tabs, Firefox does not close the last tab. If I try to merge windows (by dragging the tab of a window in a different window) Firefox will create a blank tab on the window where I dragged the dragged tab. So far, the only way to close the Fire Fox is click on the close button or to stop by the Task Manager. When I re - open Firefox Windows and previous tabs are also there, and I'm still not able to close them. I restarted my PC and reinstalled Firefox (uninstalled and re-download). However, after downloading Firefox... the same windows will be opened, with the same tabs! It's horrible!

  Hello cach_dies,

  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.

• Downloading the most recent version, the icon of firefox did not appear, another has instead and he won't get the dock applications folder

  When I downloaded the new version, the icon of firefox did not appear. Instead another icon popped up and I was able to put in applications, but he would not go to the dock

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  == I tried to download the new version of firefox

  When you download Firefox from mozilla.com, you download the DMG, not the app file. Opening of the DMG file is supposed to load the disk image, where you can drag the file Firefox app in your applications folder. See How to download and install Firefox on Mac.

  So the question is why he will not remain in the dock. The app file must stay in your applications folder. Once you launch Firefox, an icon should appear in the dock. CTRL-click the icon in the dock. There should be a menu option "keep in dock".

  I assume that you use the application overview.

  I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

  and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

  pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

• The homepage of Firefox will not develop my text in the search engine when I am connected to my Google account. In other words, when the top of the page is enabled (that is, the bar tabs allow you to read: + you, search, Images, videos, Maps, news, etc.).

  Here are a few screenshots that highlight this:

  I run on Windows 7 64 bit. I have the most updated version of Firefox. I run Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Greasemonkey as addons. Note that disabling of all persons does not solve the problem: only signature of my Google account.

  It's a very interesting discovery. A few people have reported this. But we thought it was Google break this page purposely because they intend to remove this special Firefox search page. They think it's too old and want people to upgrade to the most recent. But I'm still not sure why being connected to Google breaks this page (and signing patches), I believe that Google is here at fault and must update the code on this page.

  The new search page Google for Firefox is:
  
  topic: Home

  Screenshot:

  This is a special page that is integrated into the Firefox browser. That's why he has a weird Web site address that does not resemble the normal sites that use http://www., .com, .net, or. org.

• Firefox does not close completely.

Then the next time I go to open it it says something like ' Firefox is open but does not close it before trying to open it again.

  Is this a new problem with the new update, or something else in conflict?

My son put on firefox, but I can't find the tab firefox with access to edit, print, print preview, etc., except when I got the box of firefox on three-quarters of the screen, which is too small.

  Hi Senyax, how are enlarge you Firefox when you want more? They will give you different results:

  (1) maximize the window (the middle between _ and X button)

  You should still be able to see the top bar of the window with the orange Firefox button. If you don't see this, one of your Firefox settings files could be damaged.

  (2) full screen (F11 key or the Firefox button orange > fullscreen)

  By default, nothing else that the site displays full-screen mode. Although you can have the tab bar and toolbar display (drag your mouse to the top of the screen and right click on an empty area of the tab bar, then uncheck "Hide toolbar"), you cannot use the orange Firefox menu button in this mode.
