Every time I open Firefox, a second "Manage Sync" tab automatically opens. Why is this happening?

When I launch Firefox I get a tab that automatically opens bringing me to the "Manage Sync" window. Today when I launched Firefox there were two "Manage Sync" tabs. I dont know if this is an issue with 35.0.1 or not, but I just reinstalled windows on my desktop and laptop, and the tabs are automatically opening on both systems. I'm not seeing an option to stop this from happening.....whats going on?

Hi stringboi,
What settings are set for your homepage when you open Firefox?

My issue has been solved. It was my homepage settings. I must have set Gmail to my homepage while the "Manage Sync" tab was still open and it made both tabs my homepage =)

This is a '''Community-Driven''' Support Web Site for Firefox.
The community are volunteers; just ordinary users like yourself who use the Firefox browser and try to offer other users free support. Please remember this and moderate your language to show some respect. I know you are frustrated, but venting this on people who do their best to help others in their free time is not likely to be well received.
Please just state clearly the problem you are having and other users will see if they can help you.

Every time I start Firefox, it checks my add-ons, then opens with 2 tabs: my home page and the intro to FF9. Why does it act like it's the first time every time. Thank you.

This happened after the upgrade to firefox 9.0.1. I am considering to reinstalling the browser but Im afraid i will loose all my saved data (passwords, bookmarks etc).

Hi Sliverakos,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

I logged on to the Tom Tom site last Sunday to download maps for a GPS. Since then the TomTom site appears each time I start Firefox. I am unable to locate the instruction making this happen. Can you please assist?

Can you help me to find what is prompting Tom Tom to be my home page although I have another specified in my "Preferences"

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Everytime I start firefox the web page that pops up is not my bookmark but the last web page that I visited before completely closing firefox. I have a bookmark set, so why is this happening?

I can no longer access some websites as they have a cookie limit and even if I close the browser when I reopen Firefox the website will be my main page with the cookie limitation still reached. My bookmark is not opening when I open Firefox.

Firefox refuses to start on my laptop. Why is this happening now, I have used it for years?

Firefox requires to be downloaded via another server each time I try to gain access to the internet.

'''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.

Firefox keeps deleting parts of my yahoo toolbar--why is this happening?

Some of the icons on my Yahoo toolbar keep getting deleted. Everytime I reinstall them, the next time I restart the computer, they are again deleted. I assume this problem happened the last time I updated Firefox. How do I correct this problem?

Hello,
Sometimes toolbars are missing because they are hidden, you just need to bring them back up. Visit this article to learn how to bring them back: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]. You can learn tips and tricks at the same time.

For some reason all of my ad ons and plug ins have to be reinstalled every time I restart firefox. I don't know how or why they keep getting disabled or uninstalled. Help?

My downloaded toolbars and ad ons have to be "reinstalled" every single time I restart. I have no idea why this is happening.

Try reading [[Preferences are not saved|Preferences are not saved]], specifically the "Resetting preferences file" section.

When I open up a new tab on firefox, the bar shows that the tab is there, but when I click on it, it is the same page as what I have before. When I try to change the page on the "new tab" the original tab changes. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

This problem is even occuring as I type this information. I tried to click a "show details" button and it didn't work. The tab "opened" but I couldn't get the page to switch to the tab after clicking on it.

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Firefox keeps opening something like this with lots of tabs.../C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/õ@wO:°Ëë"èÄÍhˆ:çH¨žðã¿ÎþŽçqÿ¤Û....Why is this happening?

This only happens every so often, and I'm wondering if it's a certain website I'm on. But, firefox opens an entire new window full of new tabs with this, /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/õ@wO:°Ëë“èÄÍhˆ:çH¨žðã¿ÎþŽçqÿ¤Û, and "website suggestions." Any ideas? It's just annoying and only recently started.

Sometimes when I close FF and want to start it again message apears "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.". Why is this happening ?

Then I have to press ctrl+alt+del and close it "manualy"
I think that it doesn't happen when I wait for, I'm not sure how long, before I start again program

That can happen if Firefox doesn't close properly and there is still a hanging Firefox process running.
