• (Legitimate) -Pop-up Windows every time you start Firefox

  So, lately every time I start Firefox, the new browsing session retrieves the pop-up windows during previous sessions (since the last time or even some of love it, three days ago), I long closed down. My boot option was always "show my windows and tabs from last time ' who used to do exactly this: pick up the tabs I had open or start with a new blank tab if I had opened. Now, however, whenever I open FIrefox I get different windows of previous sessions.
  The problem here is that this doesn't SEEM to be a malware issue because I don't get weird ad/questionable windows but "legitimate" pop ups I me remember I started personally is to say a photo or an image of a trusted site that opened in a new window or a help section on amazon.com , etc.
  This is a first and as you can imagine it has become very annoying. I use Firefox 25.0.1.
  Any ideas? Thank you!

  Hello waydown, maybe the files in your profile folder that contain session restroe data was corrupted - perhaps trying to remove them, so that they can get regenerated properly next time: go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open up - in there remove all files starting with sessionstore ...

• "ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined" I started to have this JavaScript error recently, every time I start Firefox. I would like to stop this error

  I get the following JavaScript error every time I start Firefox:

  ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined.
  

  Hello, this sounds like it is probably caused by an add-on. you have any extension/theme installed, you can connect the "FFB"? Otherwise try to disable everything in firefox > addons > extensions & re-enable one by one to see which one might be causing the error message.

  On the right of the adressbox, I always have Yahoo then Google, how can I solve that, I already delete Yahoo from the list in the box search, but every time I start firefox Yahoo is back. Thanks Ron Mijtelen ter, Amsterdam.

  Hi Ron,

  Have you looked at article in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bar? There are lots of good information in there. You happen to have an installed Yahoo! toolbar? You must disable or delete as well if you do. Try to start Firefox in Mode safe mode by holding down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox. If you have any problems using the safe, it's a matter of add-on or extension.

  Hope this helps!

• Every time I start Firefox, I get a survey with a suffex program has. How to eliminate

  Every time I start Firefox, I get a survey with a suffex program has. How to eliminate

  You can check the setting of the home page.

  • Options/preferences of-> General-> start: home page
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/how+to+set+the+home+page

  Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).

  You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profiles folder that stores the session data. When sessionstore.js is deleted you lose pinned tabs and open tabs, and you need to recreate them, so possibly make a note or bookmarks.

  You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • Help-> information-> troubleshooting profile directory:
    Windows: File of show; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder

• Since the 8.0.1 update every time you start Firefox POPs a box asking if I want to install Java Quick Starter 1.0. I say always Yes, but the next time he asks me the same question. Why?

  I thought once you allowed a plug being installed and authorized in Firefox it stay installed. Why should I allow it every time? I don't know what made the extension.

  Go to the Control Panel, double-click Java. In the Java Control Panel, select the Advanced tab the + various front and uncheck the box Java Quick Starter to remove the add-on. Restart firefox.

  Thank you

• I receive the error message every time you start firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName ("id") [0] .firstChild is null - 2

  Two weeks ago I started getting this error whenever I start up Firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName ("id") [0] .firstChild is null - 2.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the error persists. Then I did a restore and system several months ago, but the error persists. This does not happen with other programs.

  Does anyone know how to get rid of it. If it has nothing to do with the registry, I'll have to let it be and switch to another browser.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

  If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.

• That's why every time you update firefox move you around?

  I am visually blind, is not easy for me to see the icons and exactly what the designated person. I have been using Firefox for several years and am satisfied with it most of the time. However, I noticed a pretty boring thing that occurs periodically when you make a major change in the browser.

  You change where it must look to find things that were easily found before.

  An excellent example of what has happened with the move to 29.1 I believe.

  Now, the back button, which was in the upper left corner of the page is perfectly nestled at the edge of the window when the URL is selected.

  I think that you have just added new icons to the left of the back button, but I don't know if they were there before, but in a different place. In any case, as someone who has trouble seeing exactly what each icon represents and therefore depends on memorize what they do and where they are on a page, I find it very annoying to have to relearn the browser whenever you make a major update.

  I also find that with each new 'improvement' different browsers get more complicated and inflated. Firefox has been my browser of choice for quite awhile, but frankly, I lean towards the use of Chrome, as I now have to learn a whole new way to use Firefox, I thought that I might as well get used to Chrome up to pull the same thing you just did people, and I have to start all over again.

  I just watched the add on that your suggested here and this page tells me nothing I could put the user interface to the way it was before you "improved" my experience. Honestly, I don't understand the reason to arbitrarily change the way something of a user is used to treat when new updates are sent.
  Thank you for allowing me to vent.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I actually found a way to work around the problem, and I'll it set out here for anyone who might have the problem.
  Open the menu at the top right and then at the bottom of the menu open customize.
  Once using customize, you can drag the icons that are clinging to the left of the back button and place it everywhere where you want. I'm sorry that I didn't try it before I get all upset and denounced.

  Thanks for your help.

  It might be a good idea to inform your customers what changes are made and the possible ways to help them get used to the new line up, so it's not just thrust upon us unawares. Microsoft and many others don't, "we have improved your experience" and doesn't give us any warning whatsoever.

• How to make only ONE tab open every time I start Firefox - still, my screen jumps to the new tab page, although I tried to turn it off?

  I recently had internet service for the first time in two years. Over the two years, I took my desktop computer 4 times for a friend and got the updates that were available for AVG, HP, Windows XP, Adobe, Java, Open Office. As soon as I have internet at my house a few weeks ago, I started to update everything. My computer (HP Pavilion, Pentium 4 of 2006 - old, I know) now seems to work very well, but it's very annoying that everytime I open Firefox, I get a new tab page I ask, in addition to my homepage of Mozilla. Even more annoying is that my computer automatically to this page of the new tab. I tried to disable the new tab page by following the instructions given through the Mozilla 'Getting Started' page, rebooted the computer, and nothing has changed. Please advise!

  You are welcome

• Add on update loads every time you start Firefox

  The charges 'add on update' whenever I start to tell me an update of Firefox has been found. I started in safe mode and reset the toolbars. Even. I went through the list and disable each one and restarted. Even. I reloaded Firefox from a download to load the entire program. Even. The only thing left to remove it entirely, to save my favorites and start over. Ideas?

  This can be caused by one of the files that stores details about the installed extensions are corrupt. Follow the procedure in the section "Corrupt extension files" article Impossible to install add-ons (extensions and themes) .

• Since the upgrade to fireox 25 every time I open firefox has briefly see the message "Reverted change..... .in general useragent override." does this mean

It seems that the extension of this last Vers.3.4.3 was the culprit. Thank you for pointing me to finger the solution. Your help is appreciated, weg43.

• 'Well, it's embarrassing... "message EVERY time I open Firefox

  I now get the "well, it is annoying..." message EVERY time I open Firefox; I have my home page should always open 9 tabs - these are the SAME tabs I have open at startup for about 2 years - WHY now this annoying message? When I click on 'Close', the home page opens with all the tabs without problem, but the message is really irritating and does not seem to say anything, because it is not a problem with one of the tabs? NB: in case you ask ' why 9 tabs? Here are the essential websites that I use whenever I'm browsing/work; I can't keep them open manually every time. Please indicate why this message arrives as here seems to not be a problem, and how can I get rid of him? Thank you.

  A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

  Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.
