    I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for compatibility and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser. I keep having to go back to version 9 to solve this problem.

    Sorry to be a while back! It tried unsuccessfully so this AM, gritted my teeth and deleted the FF programs folder and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. He was still struggling with the same problem. Went in the appdata folder and two files sessionstore.js there. Delete both, restarted the browser and no verification of the compatibility of the modules was done at first upward and the additional tab for welcome to FF was the opening is no longer all seems to work as it should and I did not lose any of my settings... Thanks for trying to help, and I hope that my solution helps someone else who could this experience in the future. Hoping that the next update will smoother!

  • Why firefox did ask to make changes to my computer whenever I open the browser. Why is the screen pixelated all?

    When click on firefox on my desktop that a message appears to ask me if I will allow firefox to make changes to my computer. It happens every time. each page is also all pixelated and barely visible. the Explorer IS NOT to do THIS.

    A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

    Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

  • Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. The most recent version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?

    Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox 6 open 10 windows everytime I open the browser

    Firefox opens 10 empty windows everytime I open the browser.

    Looks like you have another program that is running in the background. Google Maps made this for me - it did not close down. To fix this set your homepage to a site that you would not normally visit - doing nothing, so go back to your normal home page and reset it again. Problem should be gone - but I avoid Google maps now because I don't want it to happen again. However, Google Earth is very well.

    Good luck!

  • Why Firefox is not a way to uninstall Snap.do and all the malware it puts into the computer of the person?

    I've updated to java and ended up with snap.do as my homepage and search engine. I did some research and found nothing good in this regard, a program typical malware that is not captured by CCleaner for some reason any. It is easily uninstalled chrome and IE, but for some reason Firefox resists efforts to uninstall. It does not appear in the programs to uninstall, how can it be uninstalled with all it's components and why Firefox help in its destructive methods by making its withdrawal so difficult?

  • Firefox hangs at startup, or starts a process but does not open the browser.

    In the last few days, Firefox has had many problems.

    When I open it, the window hangs and crashes after a few seconds, if it opens at all. Other times, trying to open Firefox simply won't open the window, but will leave an additional process running in the background that I have to manually shut down via the Task Manager.

    I did a fresh profile. I restarted Firefox. Already got hardware acceleration checked and disabled. still having the same problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times. I ran a scan of my system with Malwarebytes; nothing detected. It is not even a newspaper of the accident. I looked through the support forums, found people with problems similar to mine, but no solution posted for them for some time last month.

    Firefox seems to operate normally if a version 21 installation, which opens toward the top of the browser window. Everything works fine, until I got close the browser and then reopen it.

    Just out of curiosity, this behavior (suspended the launch after a Windows Update) would be a registry problem? If so how could we check?

    Hmm. I think it's nice that my post is a chosen Solution. Now, if someone could just tell me what is the solution... :))

  • 39 of Firefox crashes on online videos, video goes out and then crashes the browser.

    This only happens with videos. When I watch a video in a few minutes the video area gets black. When I scroll upwards or downwards, it corrupts the whole Web page type. If I change taps, they get completely black, and then I can't do anything. This started happening about two months ago. I have re installed Firefox 39 and 38, but the problem persists. I even reinstalled Windows 7, because I thought it was a Virus, but it was without result. I really like using Firefox, so I hope that this problem has a solution.

    Strange graphical artifacts may indicate an incompatibility between Firefox and your software driver graphics card/chipset. To work around this, you could try disabling Firefox to use hardware acceleration:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

    If the player uses the Flash, the Flash plugin has a similar option: press right-click and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    Any improvement?

    Because hardware acceleration improves the appearance of fonts and animations, you can check if graphics card/chipset driver updates are available for your system. This support article suggest safe places to do it: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

  • Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

    When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

    Machine features:
    8.1 to win
    16 GB of RAM
    3 video concerts
    Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
    64 bit

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?
