Firefox add-ons take some memory. This amount varies depending on the add-on.
'''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.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* 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"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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.''
Does this decrease the memory usage? Please report back soon.

I am getting a pop up that I can not get rid of when I use Fire Fox only on one of my desk top computers. "Browser Setting Change" "Keep my current settings"

I have contacted Verizon support and Norton Support. They have tried different changes to the computer setup, but none have solved the problem. I have three identical computers, HP, running under VISTA, with Fire Fox brower. All three have additional memory and a 1 TB hard drive added. Two of my computers do not get the POPUP. On the one computer that gets the POPUP, I am able to close the POPUP by going to the bottom of my screen and right click on the bar and closing the POPUP. None of the options within the POPUP (YES) or (X) are functional.

Make sure Popup blocker is enabled in your Firefox

Why do two firefox windows open when I try to open just one?

When I start fire fox, it opens two windows.

Do you actually mean two separate windows or two tabs in the same window?
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

When I click on Firefox for the first time after I boot my PC it takes three minutes to but after that new Firefox windows open promptly.

Hello and thank you for being available to receive this enquiry.
I like Mozilla.
I like Firefox.
In recent months I have experienced and accumulation of problems. Today (September 25th, 2011) I have set about trying to deal with them.
After consulting your Troubleshooting Section I have made a range of changes that I hope shall resolve problems like freezing, unresponsive scripts, non responding windows and browser crashes.
At the time of writing I have rebooted after making those changes so I have yet to discover whether they solve those problems.
However, I have chosen o write now as I already am re-experiencing the first problem I encounter when I boot my PC, i.e. Firefox takes three minutes at least to start after I click the icon. Once it has started, however, ne Firefox windows open promptly.
How do I solve this? I rememebr a time when Firefox opened with lightning speed whenever I clicked the icon.
Thank you for your valued help and interest.
Patrick O' D.

Hello Patrick O' D,
In my experience t here are two different problems with the speed of firefox on startup
# your os and setup
# firefox - and exactly what you use with it
Some factors will be down to your OS and for instance what does start up initially, many of those factors will affect other programmes/applications and not only firefox.
Some other factors depend on Firefox and how you set that up, I always like to have the option to using Firebug but realise it cold clash with other software or slow down firefox startup so I only enable it as I need it. see for instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/performance/

My school has a website. The professor uploads files in Word. When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book. What Could be wrong? Wrong set up?

Hi Jo,
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

Barry

When I open Firefox another separate Firefox window opens with an ad. How do I stop this?

Since Firefox upgraded to 3.6.12 I have been having a separate Firefox window open everytime I open up Firefox. This separate window has some kind of advertisement. I click on that separate page to close it out and sometimes it also closes out the original I opened up, sometimes it doesn't. It is getting very frustrating to have these other sites just open up and I have to keep closing them out. I have checked my pop-up blocker and it is turned on...but this really is not a pop-up. So how do I get these advertisements to stop showing up?

Sounds like Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. '''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)'''

All minized firefox windows open when I open a new window

I have several firefox windows open and minimized. When I try to open a new firefox window, all the minimized windows open and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I correct this so that the minimized window remain minimized when I open a new window?
Running Windows XP.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

No, you'll have to use Mission control for that. It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.

Why do 2 firefox windows open every time a click on an email i outlook 2010?

I am running firefox and outlook 2010. When I click onan email in outlook, two firefox windows open, with address to local temp files on my c drive. How can I get this to stop?

No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.

Right click to open new firefox window opens in wrong workspace

Right click in Mac Dock to open new firefox window opens in wrong workspace.
When a user is in another workspace than the Firefox window, right clicking the Firefox icon in the dock and pressing New Window, should create a new window in the current workspace, Not the work space firefox is already running in.

To be absolutely honest, I can't ever remember a time where this worked in Firefox. I don't think the issue is related to the issue you mentioned, unless this particular issue only occurs if you have a dual-monitor-setup (I do have dual-monitors).
Firefox currently behaves differently to all native Mac apps + most Mac apps that support multiple windows.

Additional firefox window opens with "dangerous site"

Twice, in the last week, an additional Firefox window opened in the tray, which, when opened, indicated it was a "dangerous site." I have discovered that, since these events, I have lost at least one log-in (my cookies are not disabled). Microsoft Security Essentials indicates everything is clean. Do you have any idea what may have caused an extra browser window to open & place itself in the tray with a dangerous site inside??

hi dan, this happened with the firefox 33 update, which contains a new technology which will make the browser become more responsive relying on your graphics hardware: http://benoitgirard.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/off-main-thread-compositing-omtc-and-why-it-matters/
however with certain graphic cards & old drivers it unfortunately appears to be buggy and lead to the black screen you've observed.
sorry for the troubles this has caused...

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

I like to know when i use fire fox why it take so much resource of my computer ? it almost 1/4 of my 4gig of memeory , ihave 6,7 page of firefox window open
