When I click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar it opens automatically to Google site
Firefox was installed in my computer by a friend of semi-pro and the icon is on the taskbar. When I click the icon to open Firefox, it goes straight to the Google site automatically. Why does that happen? And how can I change the settings so that it opens Firefox?
Have you tried the words: homepage Homepage if you prefer a page with a search bar?
You can use the search bar in the Navigation toolbar to do research if you don't have one open (home) page of the topic: homepage which has its own search bar.

There is a problem when I click on the tab '+' to 'open a new tab' nothing happens. It allows to open new tabs, and now it does nothing. Even when I go to 'File' and 'New tab' it still does nothing. The only time wherever I can get a new tab to open is if I go to 'Help' and click "Firefox Help" then opens a new tab with firefox help.
Please disable or uninstall the extension "Ask Toolbar". He has a known compatibility issue with the latest update of Firefox.

When I click on the + sign to open a new tab, all of my most visited sites are empty
When I click on the sign + to open a new tab all my most visited sites are the blank page. I know that there is a parameter in the config which is set to false, and must change. I don't remember who it is, can you help me?
- In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page.

It appears when you press ctrl + shift + ESC? It seemed before? You are an administrator on this computer or is it a corporate system?

When I click on the menu option 'Open Site' he does not what to expect, is rather shows the desktop on my iMac.
What you see is exactly the way it should work. Open the site your Finder window opens, so you can access the .muse file you want to open. Recently opened (just below it) will show the list of sites you have worked on lately. I don't know what else await you.
I should probably see a list of site temp I want to open or DELETE?
No, Muse or any other program besides will not open a file that you do not select to open. To remove a site simply open Finder on Mac go to the location of the file and delete it in one of the many ways that a Mac allows you to do.

When I click on file, open, pictures, it crashes! I downloaded the program from Adobe yesterday, checked the updates and downloaded three new updates but cannot open any photo to change. Someone knows what's the problem?
You use the new Photos app, no doubt. It's just how it is with Photos and an editing program that does not use the apple photo browser:

AS says the question, when I clicked on the search bar in previous versions, 'Google' would disappear and I would see the blinking cursor. When I click on the URL to a blank tab, he would choose the text, and I'd see a slider when I typed or backspaced to delete the selected text. Now, none of this happens.
After a bit of troubleshooting, it seems that any theme I use is causing this problem.
In the previous version of Firefox, I used the exact same plugins modules and the theme and never had this problem.
I went thru and I tried to disable all the modules and plugins, and if I run in safe mode, I have the same result. None of the modules or plugins causes this. It seems to be a theme that I use that causes this.
As I said in my original question, it happened with any theme, I used. Some changed the color, some are not.
This can be locked, unless someone else has the same problem and wants to continue to use Firefox 15 or more.
I went back to an earlier version. Unless they add the ability to change this absurd, useless, counterintuitive behavior, I don't "upgrade" any time soon.

I love the old version of Firefox, because I REFUSE to use my computer without Kaspersky. I have it? > Kaspersky is MORE important for me than Firefox (G.Chrome is my backup)
Now I have KIS 2016 and I love its hexagonal icon, showing attempts it is blocking (it is set to block). Firefox 3 times now DELETED this icon, but shows that the Protection of Kaspersky is always an active add-in. I had to uninstall KIS 2016 3 times to return to this icon. When I click on the gear to select the background choice 'Reset all the Add-ons to update manually', nothing happens. No check mark shows, in Options / Advanced, I chose never "check updates". I'm tired of wasting my time to re - install KIS 2016 to get back on this icon. About: config I have enabled FALSE app.update.auto, app.update.enable and app.update.silent. What can be done in addition to the removal of Firefox? (I'm NOT going to install latest Firefox because it is incompatible with KIS).
You are using a version of Firefox that is very old, please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox updated to the latest version. Kapersky drops support for older versions of Firefox, so if you do not update you may encounter problems in the strange, not to mention many security bugs in older versions of Firefox.
Then, make sure that you use the latest version of Kapersky and then use controls, buttons and Toolbars Customize Firefox to add the icon of kapersky on toolbars of Firefox.

Help!
Hey noeleengeary,
You should take a look at Knowledge Base article Firefox does not start - solutions. There are lots of good information in there.
Regarding the message that Firefox is running, you need to right click in the taskbar (next to the time and date) and open the Task Manager. You can kill the process running in this menu. Which will ensure that Firefox is not running in the background.
Hope this helps!
