  Hello

  What have you tried so far?

  Can you try reinstalling Firefox? Uninstall it from your control panel > programs and features/add / remove programs (if you want to keep your bookmarks and other information, not deletion of personal information). After uninstallation, delete the Mozilla Firefox folder to remove the remnants of files damaged uninstallation (your profile is in a different location, so will not be affected by the present):

  • (installation of 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  • (installation of 64-bit) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

  Download and reinstall the latest version:

  • https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

• When I try to open a file attachment in e-mail or any program, it is looking for data of similar detail and hundreds of open tabs Firefox!

  When you try to open an attachment in an e-mail message, the pc tries to find data in Firefox using the accessory 'name' instead, so open several tabs, none of whom is my attachment.
  We also have our own systems that are not allowing me to open attachments, even once the search Firefox data rather than the attachments that are already fixed.
  If I don't comment LIBRA file, this then allows me to open files in a roundabout method.
  Would anyone please help with this, I imagine, there is channel error, but I'm just clutch at straws here!
  Thank you for reading this pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

• I can't go back to my home page. It means I have something open when I try to "RESET FIREFOX' HELP!

  Please help me. I can't get homepage back even when I try to 'RESET FIREFOX' it indicates just that his embarrassment and im old and I have no idea what to do? I'd appreciate any help. God bless you, jeri

  Sorry, it's a little confusing. You get the screen "embarrassed" If Firefox crashed and is not able to automatically restore your previous session.

  If you uncheck old windows and tabs, Firefox should start with your home page after that.

  Or it happens every time you exit Firefox and restart it?

  What page you want as your home page? You can check the setting in the Preferences dialog box. These articles describe the steps:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  If Firefox is ignoring your homepage layout and a different page, it could be caused by one of your modules, maybe one who snuck in unexpectedly.

  You can view your extensions and disable those unknown or unwanted page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions.

  When you first get Firefox, it searches your system for extensions, so you can see something associated with your security software. But way General, extensions are optional and you do not need to allow an any of them, except if find you them useful.

  I tried to download firefox.

  User Agent

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

  When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

  When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

  If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

  A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

• How can I stop Firefox loads of tabs to open when I try to open an attachment?

  When I try to open a file in a file I receive plenty of tabs (295) without title and not open the file I want. It started yesterday when I tried to view my utility bill n now I can't see anything.

  Each time Firefox opened

  is 05/12/2010

  You can have endless opening tabs if you have selected the application to handle a file if you get a window to Open with Firefox download.
  
  Firefox should not be selected as application to handle a file and you need to remove the action associated with this file type.
  
  You can remove mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder to reset all the actions or set the misfeasance in tools > Options > Applications for 'always ask '.

I selects & close via Task Manager and then am able to restart FF.

  Same error as I face before but I have a solution in this forum, but now I could not someone help please.

  I know its something like that when Explorer attempt to generate the preview of this video file, then it happened.

  It is indeed a problem with the preview generator.  It relies on any installed video codecs installed on your system to process video images and build a miniature.  If you have recently installed a video or multimedia software, you can try to uninstall it, or by using the system restore to roll back.

  Similarly, you can try to install different software.  The K-Lite Mega Codec pack has been around for a while and is quite popular.  After you install, your system can play almost any file (sweet bonus tip: media player uses codecs found so: after installing it, you can even play Real Audio or QuickTime files inside Windows Media Player).
