You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

.Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

Firefox may not have closed properly. 
You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

Sign with Digital Signature Button does nothing

Hello,
When I attempt to sign a PDF file I created with my digital signature, both in Adobe Acrobat 8 and the Acrobat X trial I then downloaded, when I go to push the "Sign" button at the bottom of the window, the button press animation happens as it should, but then nothing happens after that. The PDF is not signed, but I do not receive an error message of any kind either. What is going on here? This feature used to work.

Just to be sure....
Is your form opening in Reader as opposed to Acrobat? To sign in Reader you would need to 'rights enable' the document in either v8 or 10.

Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

What is the green bullseye in firefox next to "open menu" button?

Just to the left of the "open menu" button there is a green target that recently showed up. If I hover over it, I get no info. I have had issues with viruses lately, and don't want to just click it to find out.

Can't open menu button, won't open homepage on open and more...

Hello,
I've Firefox updated to the last version, now I've a lot of problems. Before I've read the next forum, with no result:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012745
I've the same problem. Can't open menu button, won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window'.
Is there an update for the problem?
Thanks!

In case there was some damage to files in your Firefox program folder, or incompatible files brought forward that were not cleared by the update, could you try:
'''Clean Reinstall'''
A regular reinstall may leave some stray files in your programs folder. This method is a bit cleaner.
(1) If needed, download a fresh installer for Firefox 31 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox.
(3) Rename the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Does Firefox behave more normally?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

Everytime I open a website apart from popular ones, firefox shows ads with open/hide buttons which are not served by the website actually. What to do?

if i could show you a screen shot.... that would have cleared the situation. ads show up in left bottom corner with open/hide button in a frame. and the same ads show up in every html plugin on the webpage especially in facebook social plugins. however on google, mozilla, facebook, twitter there comes no ad like this. Its very annoying. I recently uninstalled firefox for the same reason but nightly is having the same problem. and let me tell you there is no such thing in other browsers like chrome and i.explorer. I like firefox i dont want to change it but i will have to if the problem persisted. :( please help.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Open Task Button does not come in Outlook

I have a three level approval workflow in which each level an email is generated to the approve to approve or reject.
But suddenly the Open Task Button does not pop up in Outlook 2010 anymore can you tell me why?
Srinivasan Kidambi

had the same issue with External users not using Outlook. This is how I fixed it:
Open the task list that the workflow is using and connect it to Outlook. Then kick off a workflow to make a new task. Once the task is made open the task from Outlook. The bottom options (review, perform the specific req. for the task, and Open this task)
are now links. Hover your mouse over the link and you will see the address.
Now open SPD, connect to your site and open the work flow assc. to the doc lib.
Start editing the workflow and click the "Approval" link
Click "Change the behavior of a single task"
You are going to have to look for all the instances of "then e-mail task notification to "Current Task:Assigned to"
Open "Current Task:Assigned to"
Click where you want he link to go and hit the Hyperlink button
name the link whatever you want, then hit the string builder ("..." button)
Copy the link from the Task in Outlook into the string builder (if you use External addressing you can also hard code the External address).
At the very end of the link where is says ID=(then a number) delete the number and DO NOT put a space. Click the Add or Change Lookup button and use "Current Task: Approval" "ID" "As String" and click ok. Should like this:
Now this will not pop the form up, but it will send the user straight to the task form (might have to enter username and password) for the correct task. Remember to do this to all the "Current Task:Assigned to" in the workflow. It sounds like a chuck of
work but it does not really take thaty long on the OOTB Approval workflow.
Just wanted wanted to add my two cents.

Photoshop 5 edit menu button does not function

The edit menu button does not load the edit page on my Photoshop 5 program. I tried deleting the program and reloading from the disc. I am getting nowhere with that and now I get a message saying that I have use the disc on too many computers.. jjmack answered my earlier question regarding the same issue with a request for more information about the edit menu button.

1. Restore requires replacing everything I had on my iPod, right?
2. Do you do anything else other than reply to Discussions, or is there a reward for having this many posts?
3. The problem resolved itself after having been turned off for twenty-four hours.

my business partner signed up for the acrobat xl pro, and added me to the account. it send me an email to download and install, but after it downloads, nothing happens, can't double click on it to open, it just does nothing on the double click. I tried to download again, and still same thing. I am on a mac with latest OS. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan. So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use. the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

After loading mavericks Facebook will only load once in a while. Usually the blue bar goes half way and just stops and does nothing. Never had a problem before I updated.

Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Bookmarks in Bookmarks Bar Disappeared Since Firefox Update

Recently updated to Firefox 2.0.0.13 and since then, an odd thing happens. My initial window is okay, but if I open a new window - or a new tab - my bookmarks don't show up in my bookmarks bar.
If I look under "View" I can see that "Bookmarks Toolbar" is checked. I can deselect it and the bar itself goes away. When I select it again, the bar appears but there are no bookmarks on it!
I often also have trouble with navigation with these "phantom" type windows.
Any ideas?

Have you done these two steps lately?
