Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.

History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf 
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note: 
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. 
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it. 
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.

I am running Firefox 4 - when I open a new tab, my recent history shows - how can I get this to work in Firefox 6?

When opening a new tab, by clicking the + sign, in FF4, recent history and frequented web pages appear. I cannot get this to repeat in later versions of FF - 5 or 6. I like this feature - can I utilize it in FF6? I am running Vista Home Premium 6.06002 SP2 on a Gateway (emachines) T5246 Athlon 64 4200+ 2.2mHz dual core with 2 GB RAM.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Open in new tab not working properly. How can I get it to stop opening new windows?

Firefox recently updated and my + open new tab button was gone. I found and downloaded the extension to put it back on, which is now gone but never worked. I have checked options>tabs and it is supposed to be opening new tabs. I can click file open new tab and it still opens everything in a new window. I've loved firefox for several years but if this isn't fixable quickly I'm gone. Can anyone help?

You definitely should not need an extension to get a new tab button!
Do you have any tab related extensions now, such as Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities?
Try resetting your toolbar layout by renaming the file that stores customizations. Firefox should returns to the default settings for toolbars and windows. Here's how:
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any luck?
With respect to links launching in new windows instead of tabs, the checkbox in the Options dialog should work but there is an exception for scripted windows that have certain parameters set (e.g., dialog style with no toolbars, or a specific size). Launching a link out of a dialog, which is not allowed to have extra tabs in the window, also will launch either a new window or be added to an existing window. Any chance the problem is related to those situations?

My ipad photos has rearranged my photos under different headings - one says Baltimore when I've never even been to America. How can I get rid of these headings?

Suddenly my photos have been rearranged into collections and years. One section has the heading as Baltimore when I've never even been to America. I want to organise my own photos, not have Apple do it for me - how can I bypass this?

Have you tried to get rid of that mystery account via Mail's Preferences >Accounts window: selecting and and clicking the "-" key? If so, what happens?
If that doesn't work you should be able to edit the .plist file for Mail and remove it from there. First, download Pref Setter and install it. Then, go to /Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences and scroll through the list until you find com.apple.Mail.plist and Option-drag it to your Desktop to create a copy.
Now open the original .plist file in the Preferences folder (the one you just copied to your Desktop) using Pref Setter and type "accou" in the search box at the top right; this will narrow your results to four items; we're only interested in the one labeled "MailAccounts".
You will need to click on the disclosure triangle to find the mystery account, since they are all listed with the account name. When you find it, select the Item number for it and press the large Delete key on your keyboard to delete it; this will then change the numbering for all the remaining accounts. You can Save the file and quit Pref Setter.
Restart Mail and go to Preferences >Composing and look for the line that says "Send new mail from:" and use the popup menu next to it to choose "Account of last mailbox viewed". This means that whichever mailbox is used to view an email to, that is the account chosen automatically to send email from. So if you husband read an email to him in his account and he wanted to reply or send a new email, his account should be the one used to send. Likewise for you.

How do I change the search engine that displays when opening a new tab-Bing comes up and I want Google.

I'm using Firefox 15 on a Mac and there don't seem to be any extensions affecting this. Thanks!

Is that about searching via the build-in the about:home page?
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

Where did the little "flashing pumpkin" on the bottom toolbar come from and how can I get rid of it?

On the bottom toolbar, right hand side, next to my incredimail icon, recently appeared a little "flashing pumpkin". I have not clicked on it because I don't know where it came from or why it is there and do not want to risk getting a virus. When you hover over it with the mouse, it says "Happy Halloween" in the dialog box that appears above it. If you right click on it, the only options are "Open Message" or "Leave it"?

You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Babylon browser hijack has taken over my firefox. I have deleted all files that I can from my hard drive, I have gone to about:config, searched for babylon and reset the settings, however it still comes back. How can I get rid of babylon?

I have tried malwarebytes, it only found "mywebpage" bugs, but I deleted them too. I also did a scan of my hard drive and deleted five files that all contained "babylon" in them. It still comes back time and time again.

When I go to Firefox the support screen appears, how can I get rid of it?

I log into Firefox and this mozilla support page appears. One day it wasn't there but now it is and I want it gone, but I can't find any thing on the screen showing me what to do to get rid of it. It just shows Firefox in upper Left corner.

I want to open new tabs with other ones open. So I click the + button for tabs and it does nothing. I right click and click new tab and still nothing. How do I get that feature to work again.

I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
