When I open firefox I get my hotmail sign in page and no toolbar so I can't browse the net. How do I get the toolbar back?

Without the toolbar I can't access any settings. I've tried everything I can find in the control panel but no luck.
BT just sent me an updated wireless modem yesterday and I had a lot of trouble making it work. I can only think I deleted some stuff I shouldn't have when I was messing about with it. I can access the internet via Internet Explorer and my hotmail works on firefox but only my mail account.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Did you reset Firefox recently?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
If that is the case then you may have lost intermediate certificates that were stored in the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder.
Check out why the site is untrusted (see the Technical details) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Have set Yahoo Mail as my mailto yet when I try to "send a link" I get a Yahoo sign in page and am then taken to my inbox. How can I get an email box to send the link?

I can't get Firefox to send either photos out of Picasa or "send a
link" using my Yahoo!Mail option. Have set Yahoo as my default
and have set Yahoo as my mailto using tools/apps. When I
use "send a link" I am sent to my Yahoo sign in page and it takes
me to my inbox. How can I get a blank email form to come up?

Typing in additional text seems to get the job done. This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest. Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
Thanks.

When I open Firefox, it expands to larger than screen-size and I can't use ANY features. How can I fix this?

When I first open Firefox, it appears fine, then one second later it expands so that I cannot see any thing but the current message. The only way I seem to be able to even exit is to use the Windows Task Manager to kill the application. The other user on the same machine does not have this problem. We are both using Firefox version

Which security software (firewall) do you have?
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 and the updater process.

When I load firefox it does not load my default page, and any page I try to load does not display, only showing (untitled).

My firefox (ver. 3.6.13) shows an untitled page when I load the program, rather than my start page. Any page I try to load only displays (Untitled) and does not load. My Internet Explorer displays web pages normally.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

It started today , when i open firefox i get a constant pop up that comes in as a message uninstal set how do i get rid of it???

when i open firefox to go on line there is a message pop up box that says "uninstall set" i will click ok but the pop up continues over and over. i want to get rid of this pop up, can you give me some direction as to how to get rid of this pop up? I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and it still pops up.

Brand Thunder software isn't viewed very favorably around here, due to it including "extras" such as you are seeing.

When I open firefox I get a message that "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time"

Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen, looking like a command prompt window, in firefox.

Hi,
When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen covering the whole firefox window and it looks more lika a big command prompt window, in firefox. What is it?
Regards

Huh, that's a new one...
Can you try Firefox in [[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]] to see if the problem goes away. I'm thinking it's an extension.
*Run ''firefox.exe -safe-mode'' in the search bar on the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added any new extensions recently around the time this started happening? Your system details shows the following:
*Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
*Anti-Banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Dangerous Websites Blocker 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])

All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.
I use a MAC with Lion 10.7.5
Please help. Thank you.

More like whoever coded the add-on is an idiot. Google used a brilliant piece of HTML5 to bring the iconic Pacman to the masses for its 30th Anniversary, and not only do people not recognize its ubiquitous sounds, people are annoyed at Google and Firefox, not the creators of the add-on.
No one did this on purpose, and the ones at fault are the ones who coded the Add-on. Now shut up, your problem is fixed.

I keep getting "500 Internal Server Error" when I open Firefox. I don't know why. This just began.

I recently uploaded the latest version of McAfee Security Center and the latest version of Firefox. Now when I open Firefox all I get is "500 Internal Server Error." I am now sure what do to.

There is an existing thread which might help you with this : see
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/780053
For background information, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP Codes at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
- and, if you want more information, there's a page explaining the 500 Error [http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E500.html HERE]
In brief, the 500 means that your request has reached the server but the server cannot process it, for some unspecified reason. It is not a client-side error message.
