• When I open Firefox, in addition to my original place, I have another tab that opens the same site without my asking for it. How can I get rid of this nuisance?

  The offending site is loaded in a second tab as well as my home page when I open Firefox. How can I stop this loading site automatically?

  Hi lennynyr,

  Out of curiosity, what is the additional site? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

  There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

  If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.

  Hope this helps!

• I did the update for Firefox 7 but when I open Firefox, it tells me that I must upgrade to the latest version which I have, how do I fix?

  I keep my Firefox constantly updated, but in recent weeks Gmail has been telling me that I use an older version that she can't stand even though I have the updated version. I was warned that Firefox could be updated to the latest version, I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to upgrade to the latest version that I had already done. How can I fix?

  Having both versions is a possibility. The other is that the user agent is stuck to the old version of Firefox 3.5.3 due to some extension.

  Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
  You can open the topic: config page through the address (address) bar just like you open a Web site.

  Filter: general.useragent

  If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.

  We could probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent as the extension toolbar to Fast Browser Search added at some point and therefore the uptight version of Firefox. This problem has been resolved from Firefox 4.0.

• Just updated to Firefox 29.01 it does not at all. When I opened it that won't load sites that shows just the busy circle floating around forever. It is unusable.

  28 Firefox worked fine, but when asked a pop up opening firefox update to 29.01 I found there was a lot of security issues for 28 so I've manually updated to the 29.01 by going in "subject, check updates, etc." Once downloaded 29.01 and got told to restart, I restarted firefox. When I opened it, I found that it is unusable. It will not open a single Web site. It does not load my homepage. It has all my before Favorites from the Favorites toolbar, but I can't go to anything. I closed and tried to run cc cleaner as I always do, but I get the message "firefox takes too long to close would you like to force a shutdown", but the forced shutdown does not close it no more. I opened the Task Manager to try to close it from there, but firefox does not appear. I don't know what to do. I am all this typing chrome b/c I can't use the latest version of firefox. I've never had this happen before. I also ran in safe mode and it's the same thing. Please help and please answer in simple terms, because I'm not a computer expert. I took a few screenshots I'll join. In fact, I don't see anywhere to attach a picture so I can not. Also, I don't understand the green "add automatically" button which is located under this box on the support page of mozilla. Also, when I went to help, on the page in the upper corner of firefox just now to check the version it says "firefox is updated by another body." That the devil which means? Never seen it ever. Appreciate any help.

  Well, then I can say happily that I'm typing this on firefox yay! I managed to do work, and here's how it is for everyone who is having this problem (well at least this is the solution that finally worked for me). RESTART your computer. NOT simply stop there. It does not work (not for me at least). I rebooted the computer initially there are a few min b/c my was not analysis Norton and I wanted to analyze the new 'new installation' I had to FF. After the computer has been restarted, my norton worked. So I said Hey, maybe I'll give you my FF update 29.0.1 a last try before you install a new firefox, in the hope that maybe restart the computer would have worked. So I opened it and omg he loaded my homepage. It works! In addition, among other first problems I've come across is impossible to bookmark a site. I found the solution. Just go to the upper menu right (it has 3 horizontal lines) and right-click the little star icon that we're used to that means bookmarks. A small menu will appear. Click on "move to the toolbar", and which should put it on the top right of your browser so that you can bookmark things. Hope the tip of restart helps anyone who was having the same problem I was Firefox being unusable! And if you have the bookmark problem, hope it helps you too. Wow. I am so happy that I can finally use FF now! Also, I kept the setting of "no hardware acceleration off the coast." Do not precisely know what that did, but leaving since that works. Oh, one last thing: I closed FF and ran cc cleaner and had NO problem with her telling me that FF would not close. Then restart the computer that solved this way. Yay!

• When you open Firefox, how can I do anything about most already pinned tabs open?

  I have a few pinned tabs that satisfies me, but I don't want a homepage or any other form of additional tab to open every time I start Firefox. I just want the pinned tabs and nothing else. I keep having to close the tab that appears when you start.

  It is not possible. Firefox always opens at least a normal tab, but must select a pinned tab if you close Firefox with the selected one.

• When I open Firefox, I get a split screen with Watchseries on the left and firefox on the left.

  I installed a month ago and could never make it work.
  Can not find a way to uninstall it

• I can't remove the listing from my windows 7 64 bit uninstaller list foxytunes - when I try Firefox doesn't close 100% until I have use the resource monitor.

  FoxyTunes is long gone, but the list is not going to disappear. I used Safe Mode to remove the offending registry keys possible. I tried using the Microsoft tool for this, but do not '28 character code' for Foxy Tunes. I would like this list missing, especially due to the fact that to try to remove Firefox "misbehave." If it is too obsessive INYHO, please tell. Also you could provide the code for 28 character for Foxytunes, I could try the Microsoft tool.

  Problem solved! At a Microsoft forum, a competent contributor recommended theRevo Uninstaller program. It worked perfectly. One caveat - it allows the user to remove registry keys. It must be checked in a box, so there will be no inadverdent mistake, but those who have not worked in the registry keys must be very careful

• Why Support of Firefox home page load when I open firefox?

  Why Support of Firefox home page load when I open firefox? I'm on Dial-Up and I have my homepage to Yahoo.com. Home page of Firefox Support both Yahoo.com pages load at the same time. It takes too much time. I already read the homepage of support and have no need every time I load Firefox. How can I stop it each time to load?

  Implement: config and filter support.mozilla.com (if that's the page you mention actually) to see source. Also check that you have only a single home page in tools > general and that you bring to the top of the previous session, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

  If you have a very close tab, then this is a pinned tab app. You can detach an app tab by right-clicking on the tab and choosing "unpin tab '.

• When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new faster way to loading Web pages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still tweaks to the Mozilla developers make this.

  There is a known issue that Mozilla works very hard to fix: If you have black pages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:

  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 is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  To disable hardware acceleration

  • Click the menu button

    

    then select Options.

  • In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on 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, quit Firefox, wait a few seconds and start normally.

• If I open a tab that has a vine file, Firefox crashes. I don't even have to click on the vine-just that it is part of tha page will crash Firefox

  If I fall on a vine someone has posted to twitter, or go to a Web page where someone posted a vineyard, Firefox will crash. I don't even have to click on the 'play' button-Firefox will crash. How to use FF to block the vine to load even on my pc?

  It's strange, it's hard to imagine a good reason for it.

  I see you have Blocksite. Have you tried this model:

  http://*.vine.co
  

  Edit: You may also need:

  https://*.vine.co
  

  When Firefox crashes, it generally records information about what was happening at that time. You can submit these data to Mozilla and share with the volunteers of the forum to see if it points to the solution. Please read the support article "Firefox blocks - troubleshoot to prevent and help in establishing accidents" (especially the last section) to get the how to get these IDs crash and then after the most recent here.

  If you get the Mozilla Crash Reporter and rather get a Windows dialog box, maybe videos are somehow triggering an incompatibility with the driver for your graphics card. To work around the problem, you can try to disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  Which comes into effect after you quit and then restart Firefox.

• Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the latest version in the help - about Firefox said I do?

  There are / were three problems:
  1. why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the most recent when version help > on Firefox said I do?
  2 also, with version 8 of xx, I was unable to open a new window with a right-click, until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I'm curious).
  3 when I tried to uninstall the old version of the uninstall program told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

  1. you are using the latest version which is Firefox version 9.0.1

  From your description, it seems that if you still have the old start page for Firefox http://www.google.com/firefox hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default home page is no longer used as topic: Home is in use since Firefox 4.0

  Ignore the message, change the homepage of topic: Home, replace it with another page or leave blank.
