When I run Firefox, it opens a tab hidden in addition to any home page I put.
When I run Firefox by clicking on the icon in my toolbar Quick Start on wallpaper, it will open in any window, I put on the general tab of the menu options. But, there is an icon in the upper left corner of Firefox, if I click on it it shows this cartoon "http://images.dailykos.com/images/163050/lightbox/9-6-strip-KOS.png?1441645357."
It is a cartoon that I looked at a few days ago.
If I close the open tab by clicking on the x.
the cartoon appears. I cannot delete it, do not know where it is registered, but it disappears when I close Firefox itself.
It's all on a computer still under XP so what counts.
I searched a file "user.js" on C: but not here.
Maybe unrelated, but I can't delete unwanted Add-ins and extensions either.
It's weird.
What do you see if you right click on this icon?

When I run firefox v42 mac, the Preferences tab load as well
When I run Firefox version Mac 42 on Mountain Lion, my homepage loads perfectly, but another 'Préférences' tab always seems to load as well. How can I stop this other tab from loading? Thank you, Ken.
Hi Ken, one of the possible reasons are if the preferences page has been added as a second 'Home tab' in which case it will be displayed in each new window (Cmd + n) and every time that you click the Home button.
To verify that you can use the preferences, the general Board, the section to start page, as described in this article: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.
In the area of the Home Page, look for a vertical bar separating two addresses of character. A simple example with short URLS:
https://www.mozilla.org/|about:preferences
The bar certainly can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of the bar, then the bar itself (I suggest to remove the last bar so things don't accidentally get it together).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

When I launch Firefox normally it goes right to my Google page, but recently when I run Firefox I get a message indicating that Google.com is a unreliable site. I get this message for all engines of search, Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. How can I solve this problem?
You run Kaspersky, correct? If you use the SSL scanning feature, Firefox must be put in place to approve the present Kaspersky false certificate to decrypt your secure connections. If you used the discount during the last update function - for example, Firefox says it's a bad performance and offers to restore some default settings - you have to do it again the installer of Kaspersky/Firefox.

Dear all,
Firefox crashes when I try to play flash videos from any website, but when I run firefox as administrator, it works very well. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 video parts without administrator.) I use Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Help, please.One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
and OK reboot.
Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Any improvement?
While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.
In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

Why the add-on Manager creates a new tab whenever I go to the home page?
When I run Firefox my homepage tab appears with a tab of the Add-ons Manager and a plus sign for the new tab. Whenever I go on a website and then back to my homepage comes ANOTHER tab Add-ons Manager. This apparently will last forever. I got 20 tabs Manager modules showing. The only way to eliminate them is to stop Firefox and restart. Then it starts again. What is the cause?
I use the latest version of Firefox and 8.1 of Windows on a Dell Inspiron with 8 GB of memory and a hard drive of 1 t.
Help, please.
You can have the Addons tab set as one of your landing pages.

I use Windows XP on a PC and Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro.
In both cases, as my start page, I use "http://www.google.be/firefox?client=firefox-a & rls = org.mozilla:nl:official".
Under the Googleframe remains the message "U used nieuwste van Firefox versie niet. Upgrade om het beste ITU internet het vandaag you halen! »
False: my Firefox is already up-to-date.You are indeed updated. Firefox stopped using this address as its start page by default when 4.0 is released - page that you use can be (incorrectly) assuming that, if you are looking at him, you must always be on Firefox 3.6.
If you restore the default home page , you should get more updated information.
