How do I stop the "Better Privacy" help page coming up every time I open Firefox and while browsing?

The "Better Privacy" help page opens as a separate tab every time I open Firefox. I close it, but it keeps coming back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking a link or using a bookmark) and at seemingly random intervals while I'm browsing.
chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
I'm sure it's not malware, but it's driving me mad. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
I don't want to disable Better Privacy, but I'm often tempted to do so.
I'm using (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.

Check the Home page setting:
*Edit > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

How do I stop the Plugin Status screen from coming up every time I open Firefox?

I get a screen asking me to update or delete a list of plug ins. I don't want to see this every time I open Firefox.

Updating your Plugin programs would get rid of that "nag" page when you open Firefox.
Both Java and Flash received updates this past week.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

How do I stop the system from sending e-mail notification every time i update icloud?

Pages. Every time I add new information to the program I get an e-mail asking me if I was the one logging on. It is an annoyance.

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How can I stop iTunes from prompting me for my password every time I open it?

Every time I open iTunes I am prompted four times to enter my Apple ID password. Now I know that this is because I have automatic downloads enabled but it never used to do this when I had iTunes 11, only happened since I've had iTunes 12.
Short of turning off Automatic Downloads, is there a way that I can get iTunes to stop prompting me for my password?

Hi mikehoft,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts to sign in with your account when you open iTunes on your Windows computer. It sounds like to me, because you mention Automatic Downloads, that you are being prompted to authorize your account. If this is the case, I would recommend working through all of the troubleshooting, in order, in the attached article to resolve this issue.

I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

How do I stop the auto save feature in Lion? Any time I open any program old files automatically open up it is such a time waster having to close all those files

It's driving me crazy I click on a jpg and preview open a bunch of old files first and Photoshop and quick times will do the same,
what ever I opened the last time is automatically reopened, why? and how do I stop it?

you can disable it in system prefs general nut it affcet all the apps with the feature,also you can close all the windows before quit.

Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

This is an ongoing issue.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

I have downloaded Firefox android a number of times and every time I open Firefox and try to use the search line Google Chrome takes over the search, so save to

PDF in Firefox remains grayed out, because l cannot do a Firefox search. l cannot change the default search in apps because there all grayed out. l cannot change it in settings - search for Google Chrome and Firefox, because there is no Firefox appearing, even after in Firefox tip saying long press search line to add it. Cannot get box to come up either, to be able to change default search to Firefox by clicking always or once. My tablet is a Lenovo Yoga 8 Android jelly bean 4.2.2 OS. Please can someone help, l have been trying to figure this out for more than a week. l especially wanted to use the save to PDF function in Firefox. Please, please HELP!

Hi nature26,
There is no Firefox search, there are a number of search engines you can choose in the Settings men u > Customize> Search Engines
The search engine will be searched in the toolbar, as you type there will be an option to chose to search in many engines. If you turned on google search suggestions this will happen as well.
When you say the option is greyed out, can you please take a screenshot on the tablet and upload it in a response, it is a little unclear what you are trying to do. [[How to make screenshots]]
When you say you want to save to a pdf, are you talking about this add on for the android?
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-as-pdf/]
We look forward to your reply.
