I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

I've downloaded firefox at least twice and thought placed it on my desktop but it's not there anymore and i don't want to download it again. i'm tech challenge

need help putting firefox on my desktop. already downloaded twice

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive. 
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

I have done the update to Firefox 7 yet when I open Firefox it tells me I need to update to the newest version which I just did, how can I fix this?

I keep my Firefox up-to-date at all times but the last few weeks Gmail has been telling me that I am using an older version which it no longer supports even though I have the updated version. I was notified that Firefox could be updated to the newest version, which I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to update to the newest version which I had already done. How can I fix this?

Glad to hear it

When I open Firefox (with Google as home page), I get prompted to save a file (application/octet-stream)

This is my mother's computer. It's an HP Pro something. It has Win 7 Pro and Firefox is up to date. I'm not sure when this started because she doesn't use it every day. We can't get to Google at all using Firefox. I even tried a new tab just now and I get prompted to save a file (earlier the file it is prompting to save is NFRC_FLE13007-1A-RD_3300_SN_CIG_IS20_i89.pdf [the two dashes might be underscores - can't read my own writing!] Now it doesn't show me the file name). I tried using bing to search for this file name and didn't get any results.
I already tried clearing the cache and also resetting the browser using CTRL-F5. I've rebooted after that too. No changes...
I have not cleared cookies - I think she relies on a lot of them and I don't want to get her more confused!
Also, I've set up a number of "shortcuts" on her desktop so she can go directly to some websites. One is for Yahoo, one is for WebMD, etc. When I click on these, I do not have the issue. Seems to be related only to Google. Okay, just tried Google Maps and the same thing happens... And same thing happens with GMail. I captured the window, see the attachments..
Thanks!
p.s. I occasionally (on my computer) get prompted to save a file in Firefox when I hit the back button. I just say cancel and then do it again and everything is fine. I don't know if this is related either. I have Win 8.1 on a Lenovo laptop.

Try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe Mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) open firefox and see if that happens again.

When I open Firefox I receive the following message on the open tab: jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/branding/browserconfig.properties.

I have been slowly loading more plugins and extensions for Firefox, as I found that I had a conflict and Firefox would freeze. Two (2) days ago I used Firefox Sync for the first time. After I rebooted my computer, I found that when I opened Firefox I receive this message "jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/branding/browserconfig.properties."
I use Speed Dial as my home page and at the same time I received this message, Speed Dial stopped working, unless I click on the "open a new tab" button.
I opened the container for the file listed above, and I show that the file is in the folder.
I tried reinstalling Firefox in case there was a corrupt setting, however it hasn't helped

Caused by the Firefox Sync extension. Reset your Homepage to Default.

How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
Best of luck,
Cait

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
Or you could simply use a shortcut
''control + B''

How do I delete or change some of the tabs that open up when I open firefox?

When I open firefox multiple tabs open and some of them are the same. How can I delete some of these tabs?

Hi,
Please try this: open '''Help''' (or '''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''' and delete the file named '''sessionstore.js''' or '''sessionstore'''. Please note that this will delete the restore information for all the tabs.

INBOX has taken over Mozilla homepage when I open Firefox. How do I delete it?

I was browsing for a map of Berlin and opened a site. I closed it when it didn't provide the information free.
Now when I open Firefox, I get their homepage INBOX.
I tried closing down the computer and restarting, but this does not work.
How can I delete INBOX as the default browser and restore Firefox as the browser when I click its icon in the dock.
I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8.

Firefox can open multiple home pages. They are separated with the "|" keyboard character. Easiest way to set multiple home pages:
#open only the pages you want to be set as home pages
#go to Options > General
#set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
#click "Use current pages"

I get two tabs with my identical home page every time I open Firefox. How do I "unpin" one of them so that only one tab is populated when I open Firefox?

When I installed Firefox I inadvertently responded "yes" when asked if I wanted to "pin" my home page to the browser. l also designated that page (my Juno page) as my home page. So now whenever I open Firefox, two tabs appear with my identical home page. How do I fix it so that only one tab appears when I open Firefox?

Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

When I open Firefox my homepage comes up (good!) but often a second page/tab comes up with an annoying ad. My pop-up blocker is enabled and there are no exceptions listed. How can I stop this?

I recently had a virus attack and have cleared them with Malwarebytes Anti-malware. This problem didn't happen before the attack. In addition to happening when I open Firefox, occasionally an unwanted ad will pop-up in a new tab while using Firefox.

Firefox can store multiple home pages, check to make sure that the ad site is not listed as a home page. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
You should run a scan with some other scanners to ensure that malwarebytes did not miss any. Some scanners you can try are:

When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.
Just noticed your mention of missing the red "X" (red background), are you also missing the vertical scrollbar on the right side.
* Resizing oversize window - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
If you are referring to not being able to close a tab, you will not see the "X" on a tab if it is the last tab, in fact you may not even see the tab bar, that depends on your options and on configuration options for how the close tab is to appear.
