All of a sudden my Firefox brower will not open correctly. It keeps telling me that it is trying to restore the previous session, but it doesnt' matter if I press the Restore button or the Close button to try again, it will not work. How can I fix this?

After I hit the Close button and try to reopen it tells me that Firefox is currently already running and to either close it or restart my computer. Which I did, and it didn't do anything. Also, when I press the restore button, it will not restore, it just sits there. Please help, I hate Internet Explorer and I don't want to use it longer than I need to.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I have my Firefox set to restore my previous session, but when I go to restart my browser, I am always at my home page, no tabs to be seen. How can I fix this?

    I have no extra details, Its just something that has recently stopped happening to me since the last update to this version of FF

    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

  • When I try to open Firefox, I get a message saying that firefox is already currently running, although it is not running. Close and try again or restart computer. How can I fix this?

    I always close Firefox when I am finished with the web. When I try to open it later, I often get a message saying that firefox is currently running, so close it first. As far as I can tell, firefox is not running. The message then says to restart your computer and try again. I restart my computer and then firefox opens.

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  If you have IOS-7, read this.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?

  • Phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix this

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

  • I'm having an issue with songs cutting off before finishing and jumping to the next one. Even on my old ipod where there were never any problems before. They play fine on my computer? how can I fix this without spending a fortune replacing all these songs

    I got this new Ipod for christmas,& I started importing songs before it was fully charged. I thought thast caused the problem till I added new songs to the old one. Then it started doing the same thing. The old one never had this problem. Even one of the new songs I just bought stops 15 seconds in then jumps to the next song. I can't afford to replace them all.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Buttons after stop(); wont work; how can I FIX this

    Buttons after stop code (vidPlayer.stop();) wont work.
    I figured out the stop code needed to stop my videos from playing when you click another button, but with my stop code being on top of my "gotandStop("label")" my buttons doesn't perform that function. I take the vidPlayer.stop(); off the buttons the buttons work fine, but then my videos wont stop playing when I click another button.  Help, how I can get my buttons back working and still stop my videos from continuely playing when another button is clicked.
    Below is my code:
    btn3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, clickHandler3);
    function clickHandler3 (e:MouseEvent):void{
         vidPlayer.stop();
         gotoAndStop ("services");
    With the code exactly the way it is; when I like on the services button it wont work (unles I start from  the about btn, which houses the vidPlayer) I want to beable to go into my website and click any button and it work, not go to the about button first an then to any other button.  Please HELP BE ON THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR WEEKS.  IAM A BEGINNER ASWHILE SO DUMB IT DOWN PLEASE.

    make sure vidPlayer is declared in frame 1 of your main timeline:
    var vidPlayer:<class>;  // use the correct class here.  for example, FLVPlayback
    you can then use:
    btn3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, clickHandler3);
    function clickHandler3 (e:MouseEvent):void{
    if(vidPlayer!=null){
         vidPlayer.stop();
         gotoAndStop ("services");
