• Time Warner has ordered me to use an IP address directly in the address bar, now I can't stop Firefox try to contact this address whenever I start Firefox.

  I was sent a new modem/wireless router by Time Warner in their package of socalled EASYCONNECT connection. They instruct me to search for my current network settings by putting a numeric IP address in the browser's address bar. This IP address could not be contacted, but this isn't the problem:

  Now, whenever I run FIrefox, a tab opens and the browser tries, each time without success, to contact this IP address. I want to STOP this, simply return to what the regular homepage from Firefox / Google invites with NO PRELOADED in the address bar.

• tabs disappear whenever I start Firefox 19

  I normally Firefox put in place to have 5 tabs pinned and 2 or 3 tabs recorded since the previous session of Firefox. Since I have updated to version 19 FF, I lose 1 pinned tab whenever FF is started. I tried the fixes suggested on the issue of corruption of sessionstore.js file, checked to make sure that Firefox 'Will Remember history' is selected, the file used > Exit to leave FF. Whenever I start Firefox, it will miss a pinned tab (not all, just one). I started with 5 and I can go out, and then launch FF and only 4 pinned tabs are open. Repeat and only 3 are open, etc. If I have a normal tab open when I go out, it is saved & opens the next time FF starts, it seems open tabs is saved, but pinned tabs are closed. In addition, it is always the second pinned tab which is lost (counting from left to right). When there is only one tab left, pinned next time I restart FF, a normal tab is closed. Every time you start after that will close another normal tab until one pinned tab is on the left (the left most pinned tab). I have not tried to restart FF with only the one pinned tab, but essentially is that I lose 1 tablet recorded each time I have quit and restart and seq. anyone else see this behavior or have any suggestions to fix?
