Hello Susanne.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.

    No; it means that the computer has adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Every time I open a tab i get several tab that open up one after another all labeled Index of file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/

    When I open Mozilla Foxfire I get several tabs that automatically each heading is (Index of file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/) then shows all file in Mozilla installation Dir. This is the address in the address bar (file:///C:/Program%20Files%20%28x86%29/Mozilla%20Firefox/). My home page is set for MSN.com

    If you get a program called malware bytes it blocks that window from popping up. Hope that helps :)

  • The Firefox *.htm/*.html icon is missing in Windows 7 x64 and no fixes I've seen have helped, what should I do?

    Hi, I am having similar problem to other people that I have found on this forum in that on my computer, when Firefox is first installed from fresh, Windows 7 displays the correct icon for htm/html files, but when I restart, these icons are replaced with the generic "I don't know" icons. So far I have tried to fixes this issue with the following methods to fox this issue, none of which have worked:
    - rebuilding the icon cache by deleting iconcache.db
    - setting defaults programs from Firefox to IE then back to Firefox
    - adding the registry keys Old Icon -> FirefoxHTML -> DefaultIcon from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597} to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}
    - changing the Windows Zoom settings from 100% to 150% and back
    - Using the programs Types, to delete and recreate the htm associations.
    Also, I know that I have been able to fix this issue before when I have had to reinstall Windows before, but I cannot remember how exactly, aprt from that I did involve editing the registry, but possible not in the way I found on the forum.

    '''http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/135115-Icons-for-Firefox-missing-in-Windows-Explorer.''' Found the solution which worked for me. See his quote below:
    Here is what I did to fix the problem:
    1. I deleted registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\ShellEx\IconHandler (I completely deleted the key, not just set it to no value).
    2. I set registry key to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\FirefoxHTML\Def aultIcon to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe,1
    3. I changed the file association from Firefox to Internet Explorer and then from Internet Explorer back to Firefox [ I logged off and on again so that the registry changes would take effect].
    Now all is functioning properly.
    Thanks Steve1951 this totally fixed my problem

  • Firefox wont open a game in another window

    when i click on a link to open a game in another window nothing happens

    Nope. Apple simply removed this feature without any warning. Why? Who knows. This really reduces the iTunes workflow for many of us. I have yet to see any offical Apple comment on this blunder, one of many in iTunes 11. Time to look for a 3rd party alternative.

    Hopefully this will help you.  Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again.  You may have to try this a few times.

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.

  • InDesign CC crashes every time I quit. I'm on Windows 7.

    InDesign CC crashes every time I quit. I'm on Windows 7. I've rebuilt the prefs twice. On Windows, Batang is part of a "collection"; Batang, BatangChe, Gungsuh, and GungsuhChe. Is Batang the problem on Windows as well as Mac?

    yes. I am having this problem and I think it is both ABSURD and RIDICULOUS because Adobe CS6 works fine.

    This is an ADOBE problem not testing their software properly before release.

    I have been using Adobe software since 2002 and this is typical. I have had a DECADE, yes, 10 years of patching, reinstalling, re-starting, removing things, running obscure command line scripts, Adobe blaming windows, windows ignoring adobe, Apple acting like they dont know, Adobe doing the same.
    As a WARNING to anyone still using CS6, my opinion: "dont uptate YET" cause Adobe made it disgustingly difficult to roll back to CS6.
    system restore is your friend...
    yes, I am cranky. Last thing I need is the 3 hour game of grab bag forum hockey download this and jump through this hoop cause we forced you to update with no rollback. *sigh*

    This issue can be caused gadgets on the Facebook page.
    You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit.
    If you added or updated gadgets recently than start with those.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel. Please Help.

    Hello,
         I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
    I have on/for my machine:
    Mac OSX mountain lion
    Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    4GB of ram
    OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
    500GB HDD
    Please ask if you would like more Information.

    Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.
