A tab continuously pops up when I hit the back button, or type in a new url? Is there a fix for this?

It goes to different websites, yet all have the same template. I've tried deleting Firefox and reinstalling. I've placed my PC in safe mode and hit the system restore. I've used multiple anti-viruses and malware software and nothing.
It only happens in Firefox. My Chrome, Safari, and the terrible IE works perfect.

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list and bypass the page with that gives the alert:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • How do i delete debug menu that pops up when i hit the power button

    How do I delete debug popup when i press the power button?

    Hi ann_ring,
    You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. That should give you what you need. Firefox probably can't save the setting saying that you've already seen that box.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When I hit the back button to return to a previous page...

    ...I get the dialog box: Confirm: Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Resend or Cancel, Is there any way to disable this very annoying feature (for me anyway),
    I know what I want to do and this annoys the hell out of me.

    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form.<br />
    Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.<br />
    Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.<br />
    A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.<br />
    Then you can close that tab or window to go back.<br />

  • I clicked on the "menu" link on a restaurant's website and **** came up. When I hit the back button, it just went to more ****. Could my phone be hacked via this link?

    I clicked on the "menu" tab of a restaurant website but **** came up. I clicked the back arrow but instead of taking me back to the restaurant site, it was more ****. Is my iPhone at risk of being hacked or infected by this incident?

    Your iPhone is not hacked, unless it has been jailbroken by you or someone else using your device.
    The website you visited may have been hacked, however, so that the link you clicked redirects you to that adult site instead.  Contact the restaurant and let them know what's happening.

  • When I hit the back button twice, it goes back two pages and when I close one tab it closes two tabs. How can I get rid of this issue?

    The title pretty much sums it up. Also, I know it's not my mouse.

    Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  • How do I keep my place on a page when I hit the back button?

    In other words, say I'm scrolling down a list of links from 1-30. I hit link #8, read it, and then want to go back and continue scrolling down the list. When I go back, though, Firefox has lost my place and sends me to the top of the list. I think this started happening with the latest version of FF. Anyone have a fix? Thanks!

    Interesting. You're right. It doesn't happen when I click away from this site and then return. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's the specific website I was thinking of and not Firefox. Unfortunately, I have to use that site all the time for work. I'll try contacting their webmaster. Thanks for your help.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation won't turn on and when I plug it in to charge, it gets really hot. Is there a fix for this?

    More information: The iPod ran out of battery late thursday night and I plugged it in to charge. The charging symbol appeared but within 20 minutes, the ipod had gotten very hot and had gained no charge. It hasn't been dropped and it hasn't gotten wet. It's a year and a half old. I use an otterbox as a case, but this problem began three days ago, despite my having been using the brand of case for over a year. It's super important that I find a way to fix this. Help please?

    Try the remaining items of:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The Hotness usually indicates a hardware problem

  • Safari 6 is slow when hitting the back button

    I notice that on Moutain Lion Safari appears quite slow when I hit the back button.
    Say I'm on some news site, click on a story but then want to go back after 10 seconds, it appears as if it's loading the whole site where I came from again.
    Is there some setting to change this?
    Also with version 6, it appears that Safari is really waiting for each and every object to be finished before displaying anything.
    I think this kind of was always the case with Safari, but before on Safari 5, it felt much quicker here and I'd appreciate some rendering before every image is loaded.

    Same here. After clicking the BACK button in Safari I get old copies. I am using Ipad 16GB wifi-only.
    Issue started with IOS5. It worked fine before.
    When the old page is shown, a refresh helps as workaround. Untill Applie fixes it.

  • Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

    Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
    To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
    This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

  • Can;t see the red line border around the text when I hit the Play button

    On the last page I have a burgundy red lined border. However, when I hit the Play button, that red border does not show. I clicked onto it and then clicked onto: Send to front --- but when I did that, all of the text disappeared, presumable “sent to the back” since the line border was sent to the front so it could be seen.
    I would like to see both text AND red border. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
    ~ Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna,
    With your text box selected open the inspector and go to the shape tab. There select border then you can choose the type of border that you want the thickeness, color and even a shadow if you want. You should be able then to delete the other border that seems to be hiding your text.
    Hope this helps

  • Firefox doesn't retry downloads when I hit the retry button.

    i will be downloading something and it will freeze and stop downloading so i hit pause and then when i hit resume it comes with a message saying the path is unavailable or something and ends the download. then when i hit the retry button to retry the download it just goes through a quick scan and ends it right there with a partially downloaded file that nothing can be done to.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == i was downloading a video/part file

    There is something you can try when this happens..
    Go to your downloads folder location. If the download has failed, Firefox may have created a .part file. If your file is ''largefile.exe'', look out for ''largefile.exe.part''.
    Now basically all you have to do is go to the downloads page and start downloading your file again. This time pause the download, go to your downloads folder.
    Rename "largefile.exe" to "oldlargefile.exe".
    Rename "largefile.exe.part" to "largefile.exe" obviously replacing the name with your own file.
    Now resume your download. It should continue from where it left off.

  • Help! My email push isn't working even when I hit the refresh button!

    Please help me. I got a Palm Pixi in December. It worked perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. It suddenly stopped pushing my email, including when I hit the refresh button! I spent many many hours on the phone with both verizon and palm, we tried starting and restarting the phone, removing and adding my accounts, we even tried a partial wipe of the phone. Nothing worked. So both verizon and palm assured me that my brand new phone must be defective, they sent me a new palm pixi promising me that my email push problems were a fluke and that it would never happen again. I got my new phone a week ago, it worked fine until yesterday- the same push problem is back! I've been on live chat with a palm technician for almost 2 hours now, we've set and reset my email settings, we've reset the account settings in the phone, and it still doesn't work!
    Please somebody, tell me what the fix is for this!
    I need this phone for my job.
    Because this problem didn't start until the end of my 30 day trial period, I can't exchange this phone now, and I can't afford to pay retail price for a new phone so I'm stuck with this phone even though this problem is not my fault!! I have to make this work!
    Verizon and Palm promised me that this problem would never happen again, that it was a one time fluke based on a defective(though brand new device)- based on this assurance, I exchanged phone and now I am stuck. I spent hours on the phone on monday with palm support updating/changing my email settings on the phone and when that didn't work he sent me the webos doctor instructions via email to try on my own.  I did that last night, and guess what?  It still didn't work!  As per usual, the solution either doesn't work at all, or it works for a bout an hour and then stops working.
    Help!
    Thanks

    First verify that all your email settings are correct as they may have changed.  
    Service provider settings frequently change. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your service provider to find out whether any of the account settings have changed. You may need to manually change some email settings on your device.
    Next, update the PRL on the device by dialing *228 send and option 2.  
    If the  problems persist,  try doing a Master Reset on the device.  
    Master Reset
    Tap and slide finger up on center gesture area
    Slide screen to the left twice
    Tap Device Info
    Tap and slide screen up to show Reset Options
    Tap Reset Options
    Select from the following Options: 
    Restart - Will restart device
    Shut down - Will power off device
