After getting firefox 5.0.1, everytime I restart firefox, it resets my navigation toolbar layout. Why?

I have windows 7 and I installed firefox 5.0.1. When I customize the location of the navigation toolbar buttons like home and back buttons, when I exit firefox and then open it again, it resets the buttons to default and the location of the buttons also.

I cannot get Firefox to maximize from the toolbar after the update.

I have had no issues with firefox opening on my pc (running windows 8) prior to today. When I signed in there was an update (firefox) and I immediately noticed that I cannot get Firefox to go fullscreen from the task bar. If you hover over the firefox icon you can see the tiny window with the page loaded, but I cannot get it to maximize. I uninstalled and re installed twice to no avail. Chrome and Internet explorer work fine, but I need my Firefox up and running for work!! Please any advice will be highly appreciated! Thank you.

I will also add that I have a laptop running windows 8 that got through the update with no issues. I just checked and firefox updated to the latest version and works fine.

After getting Firefox 9.0 my emails are extremely hard to open; it worked fine before I updated.

Cursor lags and moves in jerks.
Email opens very slowly, and only after multiple fast clicks.
Impossible to reply to emails.

See if this helps you: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].

Firefox 6.+ the navigation toolbar url almost always says "go to website" instead of the site that is showing. can i get back the old way or is it an add-on...???

my navigation bar url area almost always shows "go to this website" instead of the page i am on. can i get the old way back...???

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.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I can not get Firefox to reset to normal size. I have tried everything including reinstalling it. Only some webpages like Facebook are large & it will not reset but in IE it is normal. Please help because I hate IE & really do not want to use it!

When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.

CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

Firefox keeps restarting by itself, resetting everything and losing history, why? How do I stop, ready to give up on Firefox 11.0

I have read a ton of ideas, tried everything I could find, but nothing seems to work. I have Firefox 11.0 I get everything set up like I want, with the toolbars I want and it is working fine. Then for no apparent reason it closes. When i restart it is set back to default on all settings, and all history is gone. It can take an hour or as long as 2 or 3 days before it resets. I have researched and researched, deleted files, reset everything, restarted it, but it just keeps happening. Very frustrating. There are no crash ID's no trail at all that I can find.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant stand the thought of going back to internet explorer

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Thank you for your time reading this and excuse my lame English.

Any news on this.
I think it has something to do with the add on : Tabgroups manager.
If i disable this add on then everything works normally.
Also when this add on is enabled my tabs are always below adress bar ,no matter what.

Firefox 13.0.1 Navigation Toolbar changes height when clicking on tabs

Only happened today, no changes made to the system.
When I click on a tab the icon height of the Navigation toolbar icons decreases to a square for half a second and then returns to the deeper height (rectangle). This makes all the page below the menu bar jump . Rather distracting.
Hiding the Navigation toolbar obviously cures the problem but is not practical for obvious reasons.
Any ideas folks; anyone heard of this before?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Hi Chris; I tried changing the 'use small icons' setting back and forth when this problem first occurred and it made no difference to the problem.
I updated to FF14.0.1 this morning and tried ColorfulTabs again, and although the flicker was of a shorter duration the problem remained. FF14 does seem to load the tabs a little quicker so that's probably the reason for the faster flicker.
I shall have to live without ColorfulTabs until I find a fix or they update it.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

I downloaded new version but firefox still says I need to update - why, and if there's an "install" step I'm missing why are there no instructions on how to do so???

Why does Firefox insist that I'm still using version 3.whatever when I have faithfully downloaded new versions when it tells me to do so -- most recently version 8.whatever (today). If "downloading" isn't enough and there's also an "install" step, I have yet to find anywhere in the Firefox that tells me how to do so. I have restarted my computer, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. It still tells me I'm using an outdated version that soon will not be supported.

What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

#*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4
#*See: http://ffaddons.game-point.net/ff3ff4/
#Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

Everytime i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe.

Every time i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. But my search bar says file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. Never seen anything like this, half tempted to stop using Mozilla for this sole fact. PLEASE someone help me.

Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..

I keep getting this message after closing Firefox and attempt to reopen-Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

After opening Firefox & getting my info, I go into another application but am unable to open Firefox without Quitting it first. I have the latest update of Firefox. How can I get back into firefox without quitting Firefox?

After opening Firefox, I was always able to in & out of it till I shut down my computer. Now, after opening Firefox, I go to another application then back to Firefox, I have to "Quit" Firefox and reopen. How can eliminate the back & forth of starting & quitting Firefox before I shutdown my computer?

I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)

I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to new version of Firefox

Cannot believe NO ONE from Firefox is responding to this issue; particularly since I don't seem to be the only one with the problem!!!!

How do I get Firefox on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.8 after two very frustrating and time consuming attempts?

Tried two times to get Firefox browser downloaded to my brand new MacBook Pro with OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) with no success. First attempt I was using a wireless internet connection. I got through the first couple of steps but then I could not see the Firefox application in my Applications folder. Second time I tried I used a hard-wired internet connection. This time I got absolutely nothing after clicking on the green Download Firefox icon. I patiently waited a full half hour after clicking the green download button but still nothing. What do I have to do in order to get the Firefox web browser on my brand new MacBook Pro with OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

Were you able to download and save the DMG (disk image file) for Firefox?
If there are problems with updating or permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (DMG) file to the desktop
*Firefox 16.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
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.
