Every time I open Firefox I need to update all my extensions because Firefox won't recognize that they've all already been updated previously.

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
This problem only occurs the first time I open Firefox after turning on the computer, but it occurs EVERY time I turn on the computer. Every time I turn on the computer and open Firefox, none of my add-ons are seen as updated or installed (although they are all updated and compatible). I need to "find and install updates" then restart Firefox. Once this has been done, I can open and close Firefox with no problems, but it only works fine until the next time I re-boot and I have to go through that all again.
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started when I upgraded from 3.0.(?) to 3.5.(?).. now on 3.6.6 and still happening

  • I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

    I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

  • Firefox crashes every time I open it, within seconds, so I can't fix anything in the toolbars (if that's where the problem is).

    Every time I open Firefox, even in Safe Mode, it crashes within 5 seconds. It's not enough time to make changes in the toolbars at top. The page says "Well, this is embarrassing..." and when it crashes it takes me to Mozilla Crash Reporter. I opened Fontbook, eliminated bad fonts, and that didn't help. I'm working on a Mac OS X 10.8.4 and Chrome works fine. There don't appear to be any malware problems. I've looked through all the help forums and none of them have contained suggestions that solve my problem.

    Hello SEHW, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
    #Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes.  i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

    Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message.  It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes.  I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away.  It always comes up before Itunes will open.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Outlook request sign in and password every time i open it. It did not happen before the latest firefox update

    Before the latest Firefox update around 5-6-14, I didn't have to sign in and give a password to open up Outlook from the Firefox default page. Now even after I sign in to Outlook and checking the box to stay signed in, after a few hours, i have to sign in and give the password to open Outlook. It is a Firefox extension or something that has changed. Please do not refer me to Microsoft help as they have a scripted help for this problem that doesn't work.

  • Every time I open a new tab, it no longer goes to the standard "you've opened a new tab" page, but to a searchwebsite of Babylon. How do I fix this?

    Every time I open a new tab, it no longer shows the standard Firefox "new tab" page, but a search-website by Babylon. I don't know how to fix this.

    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
    After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
    It's possible that ''Babylon ''will add itself to more than one place in '''about:config'''. Therefore, after completing the above steps, open about:config again, type "''babylon''" in the filter at the top and for every instance where you see a setting with that name in it, right click it and choose ''''''Modify ''''''and then ''''''Reset''''''. Then close Firefox and restart it. See example screenshot.
    Babylon search and toolbar will be installed with an IM chat client called ''Digsby'' if you don't opt out of it during the installation. See the info at the foot of this page: http://techshali.com/digsby-instant-messenger-and-email-manager-social-networks/

  • ITunes crashes every time I open it

    I just upgraded to the latest iTunes (11.???) and it crashes seconds after opening EVERY time I open it. I've tried copying the QTMovieWin.dll into Program Files but that didn't fix it.

    Start by removing the QTMovieWin.dll file that you copied. Wrong fix for the wrong problem.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • I installed OX S Lion today but now my safari quits every time I open it. Any ideas why and how I can resolve?

    I installed OX S Lion today but now my safari quits every time I open it. Any ideas why and how I can resolve?

    Yes done that several times. Went online with with my service provider, O2. Spoke to a "Guru" sent me an E-Mail with the settings so I could put them in manually incase the reset did'nt work.

  • Every time I open a new Safari page, it loads the one(s) that are already open, instead of taking me to a new start page.

    Every time I open a new Safari page on my MacBook Pro, it load the one(s) that are already open, instead of a new page. it's 8.0.2.  I already went to Preferences and it says new page will open to Favorites....but it doesn't.

    Hello beany1818,
    Also check in Safari Preferences and look in the Safari Opens with and make sure that it is set to “with a new window” and not “all the windows from your last session”. Take a look at the article for more information.

  • Why do i have to enter my apple id password every time i open my ipad?

    why do i have to enter my apple id password every time i open my ipad?

    You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
    You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

  • Every time i open firefox i need to give permission to do it. This just started today and has not happened before

    i do not know what has happened but now the computer is asking for permission for firefox to make changes to the hard drive every time i open the browser. I have not changed my settings so what can i do to fix it? I have tried it with 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 same problem

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • Firefox freezes up for 2 full minutes, every time I open it.

    After I open Firefox, I have about two or three minutes to browse around before it freezes up. I get the "not responding" message. This lasts for a full two minutes, at least. There's always time to pop open IE or Chrome and get the information I need, but usually wait it out.
    It is this, and the fact that I am asked to load new Java updates and restart Firefox EVERY TIME I open the browser that is leading me toward switching to Chrome. Firefox used to be the better alternative, now I get more reliability out of every other browser I use.

  • Firefox freezes ('hangs') virtually EVERY time I open a second browser window. How can this be fixed?

    I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

    Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
    If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
