After updating to latest firefox computer on internet running slower,taking longer to go to links and sites.also if i click on an email link the link keeps refreshing as mailto and wont stop opening new tabs very quickly,have to shut down to stop it.

since installing latest update,when using internet,email everything has slowed down and is taking long to go to websites to upload pictures to emails.
also when i click on an email link to send email the tab bar keeps refreshing and opening a new tab very quickly all i can read cos its going so fast is mailto this has happened several times on various websites,i clicked on a email us link on grangerhertzog.com yesterday and it did it.

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

I downloaded the new version of Mozilla and tried to install an add-on to allow me to set the home page for new tabs. The app says it has downloaded but does not open new tabs as my home page (google) - any suggestions what I can do?

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension.

After updating to latest Firefox - when I click on google taskbar my CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there... and computer is really slow. No other search engine show the 100% usage like Google. There was NOT a problem with older versions of Firefox...?

My computer got really slow after updating to latest version of Firefox. I checked all processes and I was testing the system. THe CPU usage goes between 2 and 70 percent staying around 25% on average, when I check my e-mail. As soon as I click on Google taskbar (without even typing in anything) the CPU usage jumps to 100% and STAYS at 100 %, and computer extremely slow.

I am unable to open new tabs. I have downloaded the extension, but still no tabs.

I have tried everything the website has suggested, yet I am still unable to open new tabs.

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

You need to update some plug-ins:

Firefox won't let me open new tabs. I have restarted, I've done the drop down, I've clicked on the "+" but nothing happens.

I cannot open new tabs & it is really frustrating. I've tried the drop down to open new tab, I click on the + but nothing happens. Can anyone help?

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
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

After updated to latest Firefox, uninstalling sync and resyncing through my account, computer will not bring up tabs from synced computer.

I have followed all the steps to update to the latest version of Firefox, uninstall the old sync (which never worked anyway) and create a Firefox account to install the new sync. The Firefox sync tab shows computers as synced, but even after restarting the computer, it does not bring up browser tabs from the other computer. Both have all boxes checked on sync.
One computer has XP, my laptop has Win7.

After updating to latest version of Java (7.10) it no longer works and JRE has disappeared from my plugins list

On checking my add-ons and plugins I attempted to update Java Run Time to latest version as firefox said it was outdated.
I tried installing new version JRE 7.10 manually and through firefox (which said the installation was successful). When testing it, I get told that Java is not working and that a plug in is missing. Can not check whether the new plugin is enabled as JRE has disappeared from the plugins tab (Only Deployment Toolkit appears).
The Java control console says that it was successfully installed in all browsesr. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java 3 times and keep getting the same result. Java is working fine on chrome and IE so problem must be with FF.

i have already tried installing the offline version but Java SE7U10 does not show in the add-ons menu and Java doesn't work

Every 8 days when in sleep mode my fan runs up to high speed. Have to shut down to stop it. Tried SMC reset no use. Even powered down for a day when speed up was due, 8 days later ran up to high speed when asleep. How do I fix this

I was previous running Lion but upgraded a week ago the Mavericks but the fault it still there. Nearly always happens in middle of the night as when I get up in the morning fan is running at high speed.

Try the troubleshooting steps using the Test Account. The theory is if the Test Account works OK then you know you have an issue with your standard user account. If the problem persists with the Test Account then you know it's a global issue and can begin eliminating items. I would start by eliminating non essential peripherals such as printers, time machine etc. You may find you have a problem with one of those or some app or some setting.

Firefox does not open new tab

I have been using Firefox 3.6 and it works quite well, except that a week ago it stopped opening new tabs (when you click on the + sign for new tabs). Cannot find any help in the Firefox help pages.
(Before you tell me to upgrade to 4.0, I did that and it crashes at least once a day, which practically never happened with 3.6.)
I'm using a Lenovo T510t and Windows 7

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem with their toolbar that is causing that issue.

Website opens new tabs in Safari for iOS7; popup blocker is on

How can I stop a website from spontaneously opening new tabs? I have the popup blocker on, but it doesn't prevent ads from popping up in new tabs on some websites.
Also, is there a way to stop banner ads from spontaneously opening the App Store?
Thanks!

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo
Note: Keep away from those web site

How can I stop Mozilla and some extensions from opening new tabs every time I open firefox, even with no updates?

I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Since upgrading to 9.0 and then 9.0.1 Mozilla and Speed Dial open new tabs as if they've been updated, even though there has been no update. Colorful tabs 8.0 did it as well, but I disabled it.

Do you have BitDefender (2010 e.g.) with its toolbar? If yes, remove it because the BD toolbar is known to be buggy and cause this issue (add-on compatibility check at each Firefox start).
And report here the BD toolbar version you have.

After updating to latest firefox computer on internet running slower,taking longer to go to links and sites.also if i click on an email link the link keeps refreshing as mailto and wont stop opening new tabs very quickly,have to shut down to stop it.
