Can't open bookmarks or search on firefox

I cannot open anything on firefox

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Where can i find bookmarks.html file in firefox 10

where can i find bookmarks.html file in firefox 10, so that i can customize a new firefox setup.

cor-el, i tried this...it is working but it is add the new bookmarks to the default one (i want to override the bookmarks not to add them to the default).
And finally i solved the problem as the following:
1- install the firefox.
2- change the bookmarks manually (delete the old one and add the links you want).
3- package your work into dmg file.
Yes as simple as that :D
Thank you all for your help.

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Can't open bookmarks in new tab

About ten days ago, I stopped being able to open bookmarks in a new tab. In fact, if I right click them at all, I get a tiny gray box. It goes away with a reset, but if I try to install any of my old add-ons (even ones I install newly) it comes back. I've looked for programs installed, but I can't find anything that would have caused this.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Hi,
It seems that some faults has occurred during
the synchronization. You should re-set your

Can't open *any* files downloaded by Firefox

I am running Firefox 13.0.1 on a Mac Powerbook under Mac OS 10.7.4. Firefox seems to download the files very nicely, but when I try to open them, I have gotten the error message "File does not exist" and it mentions my download folder. There's more to that error message, but I don't remember and I can't reproduce it. Now I'm getting "Preview can't open the .pdf" or "File not recognized". I've disabled the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plugin, and that hasn't helped the problem. Safari downloads the same files just fine, so it seems to be a Firefox problem. Please help!
Thanks,
Amerie

Please update to the current Firefox 14.0.1 version to see if that fixes the problem.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 14.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Do you have any Anti-virus software installed that may be causing this?

I can't open my Hotmail account in Firefox

I think I know what my problem is but I don't know how to fix it. I attempted to delete unauthorized contacts in my contact list on one of my Hotmail accounts, and I think I messed up the default settings. Since then, I've been unable to access the account even though I can sign into my other 2 linked accounts on Firefox and on the blocked one in IE. I've optimized the browser by following some of the suggestions here, but still no luck. I'm currently running version 3.6.17.
How can I possibly restore the settings to this account if I'm unable to access it? I'm fairly certain this is the problem because this didn't happen before I tried to delete those contacts (which didn't have a delete option, obviously). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Sorry I did try all your ideas, but I stil can't open Hotmail-account and
I can't send, reply any hotmail-emails, when I click on a message in my Inbox the message doesn't open.

I'm using HTTPS-hotmail.
JavaScript is enabled .
I'm not infected with malware, I use Norman Security Suite Viruses and Spyware.
I disabled all add-ons with FF in Safe Mode, and hotmail worked well.
I used Hotmail with Firefox for years with no problem.
Starting about 2 weeks i can't sign into my hotmail account through firefox;
I open firefox, then hotmail, put my adress, and then there's this page:
A password isn't enough ...
I click on the "SAVE"-button", it does not work.
It works well in IE.
I did remove the cookies,
by 'View Cookies' there is this cookie: "answers microsoft com"",
and i cannot remove this cookie.
(I have firefox on "Never remember history")
I also did use the the refresh button and the ''Shift'' key, it doesn't work :-(
By Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del , totally nothing happens. Please help me.
Thank you so much for your help!! My english language is not good, that's why my reply takes a long time. Sorry for that.
I wish you all a wonderful evening from Holland.

Can't open bookmark in Safari

Hi, I am having trouble opening one of my bookmarks that I have used many times. I can't think of anything that I have done recently to change any settings and would appreciate any advice as to how I can remedy the situation. When I click the bookmark I get the drop down message " Safari can’t open the page “http://rh14.pls-inspection.com/”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011)"
Help, please, but keep it idiot proof! Thanks. John.

Hi John!
I'm not sure exactly where your original Bookmark led to, but, have you tried deleting the bookmark, then going back to the Login page of prospects?
Before you do that, open the Safari Preferences > Security: Click on Show Cookies.
Locate any prospects Cookies, and remove them.
Or you can simply remove all of the Cookies. But if you do that, you will have to login at any sites that you previously were auto logged into before.
Not really a big deal.
Now go to prospects, login, navigate to wherever you want the Bookmark to take you, and then set that has a new Bookmark.
You can also empty your Safari Cache from the Safari menu.
Click on Safari in it's Menubar.
Select Empty Cache.
Or use the Option + Command + E keys.
Good Luck!

Can't open online sbi website in firefox 32.0.3

I'm using firefox 32.0.3 right now. Every sites work fine but i cannot open onlinesbi.com. It say "The connection has timed out" on firefox but open fine in other browsers including internet explorer. I reset firefox 2 times but still the problem exists. However it will open in lower version of firefox. Please look through the problem.

Since the problem with https://www.onlinesbi.com only occurs in Firefox, first clear your Firefox cookies and cache, and if that doesn't help, check for malware. For detailed instructions see

I can't open Yahoo e-mail in Firefox 10, it opens inIE.

I cannot open Yahoo e-mail in Firefox 9, it worked in previous versions. It works with Internet Explorer. I tried disabling add-ons but it didn;t help.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
What exactly happens? Can you attach a screenshot showing the error?

Can't open bookmarks in a new tab after changing "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" - even after changing it back.

I changed "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" in about:config, and then changed it back after it didn't do what I had hoped it would do. The next time I tried to open a bookmark '''from the menu''' (not the little bookmarks button thing), nothing happens when I select "Open in a New Tab."
EDIT:
Bah, I couldn't take it and just did a restore.
