Two windows open when I open Firefox. I just upgraded to 6.0.2

I just upgraded to 6.0.2. Now two windows open each time (your firefox is updated). There is also a lag becasue it is checking ad ons. I tried deleting prefs.js. I also reinstalled Firefox. Nothing works. Very frustrating

Could it be something else besides apps, that's downloading, but not finishing? Like a movie, or book?
I got Toy Story those two little movies from 12 days and the other one is not downloading.
If thats the issue, pause the movie download, so it will download your apps.

  • When ever the Download window opens firefoxes freezes/stops responding. I can't do anything with it. As soon as it opens, no response. I disabled most of my add-ons but still doesn't work. It's only started recently. Maybe a week or so.

  • When Firefox loads, a second window opens that is just a counter. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

    When Firefox loads for the first time, a second window opens that is just a counter. I've downloaded a lot of add-ons. I thought it might be the piano add-on so I removed it but that didn't stop it. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

    You can disable autoupdate by following these steps:
    Go to main menu > Tools > Options > click on Advanced tab > click on Update tab and then click on the round radio button that says ''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''
    Refer the attached screenshot

  • When I click a link in Mail (Mac OS) Firefox opens two windows. The frontmost window is always blank. The other window shows the page to which the link pointed. I would like to avoid having two windows open.

    Links from Mail open two windows. One is empty.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == In the past couple of weeks. I had not noticed this behavior previously

    That is this bug:

  • I recently installed Norton 2012 and now when I open an e-mail in Outlook two windows open in Firefox showing the history of the sender how do I stop this from happening?

    The windows that open in Firefox both have an address that starts with file:/// and then the directory on my computer to my "temporary internet files". One window displays in text only the history of the e-mails received from the sender. The second window simply says "loading"

    That is a bug on Mac.

  • I have two windows open, but one will only show the preview and when I try to bring it up, it won't open?

    I can see the window as a little thumbnail when I hover over the firefox icon in the taskbar - & I can even change the contents, because it seems to be the 'main' window, so when I tried to change a setting in my add-ons, the add-on window opened in it, and I have no way of reaching it. When I try to click on the window to bring it up, it 'selects' and is highlighted, but it never comes up, no matter how long I wait.
    I can close the window that does pop up, and the other window remains unaffected. Even manually trying to "switch over" to the window from the task manager won't work.
    EDIT: I am all up-to-date, Firefox 15.0, etc.

    Perhaps the PLUGIN Update feature needs to be engaged to assure that both Java and Shockwave editions are current. It requires 'Help' > 'Firefox Help' > where the lower right side displays a link for Plug-In Update...

  • When I click onFirefox, a google window opens, firefox cannot be seen.

    There is no apparent way to access firefox since the Google window fills the entire screen. Up unitl now when clicking on firefox a google window would open but firefox, with tabs, favorites etc would be seen on the top of the screen

    It sounds as though Firefox might be stuck in full screen mode. Try pressing the F11 key to switch back to normal mode. If Firefox always opens full screen, it could indicate a corrupted settings file, but let us know whether Firefox now remembers to open in normal mode.

  • When a device mounts, two windows open[SOLVED]

    When I plug in a flash drive or an external hard drive, it mounts and opens the device twice. So when I plug in the flash drive, two windows pop up.
    This is a nuisance. Where did I go wrong in setting hal up?

    Maybe you should specify what DE you are using: I guess it' Gnome 2.22.
    If yes, I have the same problem, as written here. I'm going to report a bug on gnome bugzilla as soon as possible.

  • When I open Firefox it just says firefox on the upper left corner and apperas to be open on the dock but there are no windows anywhere.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One day randomly for no reason whatsoever, I opened up firefox on my mac and it just said firefox on the upper left as if it was open. the little upside down triangle appeared below the icon on the dock, like it was open. However, there are no windows anywhere. I click file and new window and nothing.
    I right click the firefox icon on the dock and it says that there windows for example, my home page, but there is NOTHING.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps doing the same thing.
    Your website has NO SUPPORT whatsoever and it has taken me a half hour clicking around to get to this portion where I can write what the issue is and no one will ever probably see this so whats the point. I guess I'm stuck with fucking safari now.
    Firefox had been working great up to this point, I literally opened it the other day and this happened just completely random.

    Hello,
    Sorry you are frustrated. If you have improvements you would like to make, you can file them to the [[Suggestion Box]] and the Firefox logo in the top left with upside down arrow is the Firefox button containing menu items. Try a clean reinstall as instructed below to see if it resolved your issue.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • When I click a link in a website, it loads in another tab, however i get 100's of new tabs that load with "untitled" and when i close firefox, it just opens by itself again and again

    I was on my son's school website and I was looking to click the link to his teachers personal web-page. When I did, many, many "untitled" new tabs kept opening in the same screen. In fact it did not stop until I restarted my computer.
    When I tried to close mozilla firefox page, it would then open up a new screen again doing the many, many "untitled" tabs. Every time I clicked the red X at the top of the screen, it would load a new page doing this.
    It also did this on one other web page.
    I am sure that there is just some info that needs to be entered for what to do when you click a link, however I have no clue how to change it.

    For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
    If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

  • How do I have two windows open side by side in Mountain Lion

    I want to open two windows side by side for comparison purposes.  Can anyone tell me how to do this please?  BUT when I input something into one window, I don't want the other window to close.  I know this can be done on my Windows laptop but I'm now using Mountain Lion on a new Mac - maybe it's something I have to learn to do without.
    Any help would most appreciated.
    Thanks Sue.

    You want to have two browser windows open at the same time?
    In Safari, just type command + n, and a new Safari window will open. You can use either window independently.
    (Trust I have understood your question.)

  • IDVD- I need two windows opened at once...is that possible?

    I am working on two separate IDVD projects. I would like to have two windows in IDVD opened at the same time. When I open the first project it shows in on my screen, then I go to file to open a new one and the first project is overridden. Is this not an option?

    You'd be better off posting this in the iDVD program forum where you'd get readers who have actually used iDVD rather than the Tiger OS forum.

  • I have two windows open and accidently closed one of them. There does not seem any option to restore that window I accidentally closed.

    I had multiple windows opened and accidentally closed one of the windows. How do I restore the window I accidentally closed?

    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

    Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
    Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
    Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.
