Whenever I open Firefox, it works as it is downloaded a file.
Whenever I open Firefox, a small box rises from the middle of the screen to the progress of the download arrow in the upper right of the Firefox window. I check the window of download progress and download anything, but everytime I open the app, it does. It's not use to happen. I use Firefox on a Mac 31.1. I've just updated to 31.1.1.
You can view the downloads folder in the downloads (library) to see if there are unfinished downloads.

How can I eliminate the amns.startnow page whenever I open firefox/google?
Whenever I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the toolbar. How can I stop this?
I could also say that research | Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when the 'help' is also in the toolbar above.
Launch of Firefox, navigate to a page, you want your home page, then open Options > general and click the button "use current Pages".

Ok. Then when I open Firefox, I go to my home page. Then when I click on the button Search (before entering), it brings me to a different window of an advertisement. I tried advertising blocker, but there is absolutely nothing to prevent it from opening. On each page, when I click on anything, whether it's up a different window of an advertisement. Now, my other problem is, when I play a video on YouTube, Firefox is not responding. But then the video plays normally. In this case as, EVERY single video I watch it on Firefox. Solve the problem.
And also, Shockwave Flash keeps "no answer / busy" almost on every page that I opened. other than YouTube and all related "google" pagesHi, sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer.

Lately when I open Firefox, a dialog box appears informing me that I had to upgrade. But when I press on install what I get is a process that goes on and on and never ends. I had this happen several times and each time I finished around the top of the box to close and ending the process. It worries me because I fear that at some point, my version of Firefox will be so old that it will stop working. What can I do to make sure that the latest version is installed. I have a Mac Book with OS 10.6.8.

How to stop the Welcome tab in Firefox to open whenever I open Firefox?
I read two ways to try to stop this aid but they either did not apply or I couldn't do what they suggest.
Everytime I open Firefox to the end the home to the fire fox tab opens as well as my home page. It's only a little trouble turning off every time, but I would like to happen. What can I do?
I found another one where they say to delete something out of the about.config, but I wasn't able to delete the line. I could not find how to remove a line on the subject of config.

Hello
I guess you have been following this article: Firefox says it's just updated each time that it starts - how to fix. Note that the most recent Firefox 33.1 (your user watch 33.0 agent), so if you use later, try to update again and see if that makes the page appears for the last time.
If the above does not work, try to go through How to set preferences that will not save. It could be a third-party application like antivirus software prevents your update preferences or a user.js file.
Who Subject: config line did you mean erase? I don't think you can remove entries from the configuration, unless you added it yourself and remove it from the prefs.js file. You can reset the default preferences or change their values. It is not safe to blindly change your configuration as it has no influence on how Firefox is running.
I use the 34 version and have the same oroblem

Whenever I open Firefox, it restores my previous session without being invited.
I set parameters so that when I start Firefox to go on my home page, which is just the Mozilla Firefox start page. Despite this option is defined, it always restore my previous session every time I open Firefox.
One of the possible reasons are a statement in a user.js file. Firefox checks a file user.js at startup, and it replaces your own preferences. This article describes how to check for this problem as possible: How to fix preferences that will not save.
Another possible reason is if Firefox does not close properly and is still recovering from a perceived fall. To see if this is the issue, you can change what Firefox works after an accident so that instead of automatically display tabs from the previous session, it shows you a list of the tabs. Here's how:
(A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(B) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(C) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
The next time Firefox starts if you get the screen saying 'it's embarrassing"and display a list of your last session tabs, then the problem is that Firefox crashes on shutdown.
Does this help with your startup?

The "Better Privacy" help page opens in a tab separated everytime I open Firefox. I close, but he comes back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking on a link or by using a bookmark) and at intervals apparently at random so that I am browsing.
chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
I'm sure this isn't malware, but it drives me crazy. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
I don't want to disable the best privacy, but I am often tempted to do.
I use Ubuntu (Linux) 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.
You are welcome
