The unwanted Sites open in Firefox
You must do something about websites unwanted opening and shouting promotional stuff with us... or I will be dropping Firefox after using it for 10 years. And a lot of esoteric instructions won't cut... it takes just an option of blocking as Spamfighter in an e-mail program.

Dadi is certainly right, it probably is an adware and has nothing to do with Firefox itself, but is rather foreign, unwanted software that is installed by a third party to spit out ads to you. Follow the instructions to get rid of.
While you're there you may also try to install AdBlock Plus to help reduce the ads you see. It blocks pop-ups, but it will limit the ads on the pages you are viewing.
You can also try to open your Firefox preferences, by going to the 'Content' tab, and ensure that this ' block jump - rises "is checked. This will help to minimize these intrusive windows. If she already checked that also confirms that it is adware.

I love Firefox, but this problem frustrates me. I want to access a favorite site and have bookmarked. When I click this bookmark, the site opens in a sidebar! How can I open in the window of the tab complete?
You can change the properties of the bookmark for this problem.
If you right click and choose Properties, you will check a box to the bottom of the dialog box that opens the bookmark in the sidebar. Uncheck the box that and click Save.
It work?
(When you use a link on a Web site to store a bookmark, they added in this way. You can use Ctrl + d or the 'star' of the address bar to add the bookmark without opening it in the box.)

Select and download the file to the collapsed site works on firefox 31
On a site using CKEditor and RoxyFileman file manager to download the files, I have always used the button 'Browse' to select a file in my computer, and then you press the Upload button and work done. Updated to Firefox and now when I press the button 31 transfer window "Select the file" remains on the screen and no download.
Last night I had a report of another user in the same site for this problem. I used the version 30 and that he had upgraded to version 31...
Checked and no problems with Windows 7 and Windows XP with IE 11, 36 Chrome and Firefox 30 and Linux Mint 17 with Firefox 30.
On sites with the button 'Browse' classic, there is no problem.Problem solved with Firefox 32!
Now, everything works again as before...Thank you Mozilla team!
I am very happy to see that you take in mind our problems and that you always support our work.
Thanks again! -
I am a travel agent and for example, I may have a client, ask questions about flights from southwest of 2 different cities to coordinate the arrival in a city. I often open the site in 2 different tabs, so I can quickly and effectively gives the customer responses. I don't want that it redirect me to the first tab! How can I disable this feature?
You can duplicate a tab by holding down the control key, and then dragging the tab you want to duplicate on the tab bar.
You can use the switch to the tab not more add-on to disable the switch to the functionality of the tab - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

Suddenly can not post on the web site Topix using Firefox.
It was fine until today, but now I can't access my account or even post there as a guest, which I did all along. This site works fine in IE. I have cleared my cookies and cache, but it does not help. I'm not computer savvy, so please nothing complicated! Thank you!
If clearing cookies doesn't help, 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 other files to present as cookie cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.See also:

When I click on most, if not all of my favorites, the new site opens in the tab where I was open. I want the new site to open in a new tab (unless I have type the name where the address was. How can I get this done.
Jerry KerstenSorry, the setting for this preference has been removed a few years ago.
You can try using TabMix Plus extension to add this feature to Firefox. I heard that TMP include a pref for this action.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/Firefox/1122/
But TMP is a very complex extension and has been problematic from time to time. My advice is to get used to manual bookmarks open in a tab by using one of the three ways that I mentioned. -
The site of the New York Times is the only site because of Firefox to experience this extreme slowness. Firefox update made no difference. To view the website of times without slow, I had to add the site to the blacklist of the JavaScript to YesScript 2.0, but this, of course, disable many features of JavaScript on the site.
Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player and turn off protected in Flash drive mode

Activate the default privileged code. Firefox >; = 22
Time: How can I activate default privileged code (in Firefox 22 or newer)?
Since this is only for local purposes, on several lab computers - I can change all the files of Firefox.If you have questions 'why?' or answers unrelated to Firefox:
I use a preferred code of the normal site (open locally the file on the local computers only), and since Netscape.Security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("universalbrowserread") disappeared from Firefox I can not run the privileged code of normal content after 17 versions.
I need to activate some features like access drawWindow and normal page file by default.
Use scripts that allow the user (in the laboratory on lab computers) to enter the normal sites, collect data on user's activities, connect you to what has been clicked, but to take screenshots of the Web page after the action, to record images on hard drive.
Users are essentially stable in view of pages Web - UX testing and Firefox much help (ed?) with this type of test.But I don't really have such opportunities as rewrite all plugins or take screenshots that are manually or something like Greasemonkey.
Other options, like the camera or software to the registration screen are also not possible.Thanks in advance.
That is not intended as humour, but supposed to be taken very seriously.
If someone on the internet allows you to create a bearing pref name request then probably you wouldn't do this. -
