Avoid firefox opening 2 tabs on first time

Hello,
For internal uses at my work place, we use a customized Firefox,
All is ok out the fact that the first time we opening customized Firefox on a PC,
when no profile folder is existing, firefox open 2 tabs.
And after this first time all is ok, i think this is the "welcome tab".
What can i do to avoid this tab opening.
This is our user.js file to overwrite the prefs.js.
If i remove the
"user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "http://10.10.10.11:8008");"
It tries to open the mozilla welcome page
user_pref("startup.homepage_override_url", "http://10.10.10.11:8008");
user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "http://10.10.10.11:8008");
user_pref("javascript.enabled", true);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://10.10.10.11:8008");
user_pref("accessibility.browsewithcaret", false);

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • Why does Firefox open 3 Tabs all the time when I open it? One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug in being installed. How do I make that stop?

    When I double click Firefox to open it, 3 Tabs automatically open. One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug ins being successfully installed. I want for only my home page to open. How do I make this stop?

    But there aren't any symbols. It's just set to http://www.yahoo.com
    And every time I open Firefox, it opens with 3 Tabs, one of which IS Yahoo but the other 2 a regarding plug ins being successfully updated. I've even gone as far as to uninstall those plug ins and it still opens with 3. About ready to uninstall Firefox and stay with IE

  • Firefox won't open when prompted the first time. Says "Not Responding". I have to hit cntrl/alt/del then try starting again. Sometimes multiple times.

    Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:

    ** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    **Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    ** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears.

  • Firefox open spam tabs

    Firefox opens new tabs with sponsored ads,
    I have scanned my computer with virus scanning software and different software cited https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/697011?esab=a&as=aaq but find nothing.
    Then I did the same navigation with Chrome and Opera, but no tab ad has been opened.
    Finally I disabled the plugins one by one and I realized that with firebug disabled no longer the spam, it seems to open up once they parse the page when the keywords are found relevant.
    Uninstall firefox and reinstall it does not eliminate the problem, there are probably other folders to be deleted that I do not know.
    For more complete the tabs opened are only in Italian language, should not be a widespread problem, but most likely there is a leak in firebug extension.
    Also for completeness, I report the id parameter represented in get parameter in the url of some sponsored ads. zanox1170335.
    I dont know if the problem is really for firebug plugin, but i had only disabled this plugin and if some file can be usefull to you for analize it, i can give you.

    I'd like to know whether the news tabs are generated from inside Firefox or by an external program. To make sure links open differently, you could adjust the following settings.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.open''' and pause while the list is filtered. These should appear. What values do you have?
    (A) '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>) (checked*)<br>
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
    1 = force new window into same tab
    '''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
    (B) '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
    0 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows<br>
    2 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows ''except'' script windows with features (default)<br>
    1 = open_newwindow preference ignored completely (same effect as open_newwindow=2)
    ''By default, popups that specify a particular window size or turn off certain window features will appear in a new window. If you set this preference to 0 then all popups are forced to a new tab.''
    (C) '''browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external'''
    -1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (<u>default</u>)<br>
    3 = open external links in a new tab<br>
    2 = open external links in a new window<br>
    1 = open external links in active tab
    ''On this third one, try choosing 2 to force externally launched pages into a new window instead of a new tab in an existing window.''

  • I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

    I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

    In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Lov is not validating when i open a form for first time

    hi all,
    i am using form6i.
    i have one multi record block. in which lov is attached to it.
    but when i open the form for first time the item corresponding the above said is not showing and if i enter the value then also its not validating against. its showing error frm-40210
    but when i click on other item and come to this item Lov is showing.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.
    i have checked set_item_properties too(there is properties have been set)
    Please advice.
    Thanks..

    FRM-40210: Search string not found.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.Do you have an "Initial Value" set for the item? Do you have the "Validate from list" property set to yes or are you setting the initial value through code?
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do?

    Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do? Previously hit "organize", ran for 25 min till hit 100%, then "had to close"?

    Unfortunately, there's not enough info listed to give you an effective answer.
    Can you give more detailed system spec's.  There are a lot of differences in RAM, & Hard Drive Technologies.  Is your 2TB a single hard drive, or multiple drives in RAID?  While a single 2TB drive is nice for the storage capacity, they also sacrifice some performance to reach that capacity... What speed is the RAM, & I'm assuming it's properly opperating in Dual Channel mode (watch your POST screen to be sure).  Which Core i7 CPU are you running, & what Operating System are you running.   Finally, bring up your task manager, & see what processes are using CPU cycles.   Also, are you starting up PrE8 through the default shortcut which uses the Welcome screen?
    A quick guess is that Auto Analyzer & the Welcome screen are behind your troubles, but can't be sure till more info is available.
    There is a current thread about Auto Analyzer, & I've posted a way to bypass the Welcome screen in several threads. 
    See my post in this thread to bypass the Welcome screen http://forums.adobe.com/thread/516524 (2nd post in thread)

  • I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour

    I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour is this normal?

    The charger block is universal and is able to handle multiple votages.  One hour to reach 50% seems fine to me if the phone was completely flat to start with.  Just leave it on charge for as long as it takes to reach 100%.  I leave mine connected overnight all the time and it does not harm the battery

    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    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 all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • After upgrade to v6, while surfing, Firefox opens active tab in new window few times in hour... why?

    I am using laptop. When I click on some link or in some text field or when I start typing on gsmarena.com in search box... Firefox opens new window with the currently active TAB. This is very anoying and I thought that it will be OK but now it started to happen on PC also. It is not happening always with the same actions and is hardly reproduced.

    Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
    Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
