Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

I discovered this incompatibility (?) with the help of a Sr. Advisor from Apple. I have uninstalled Firefox and the plist and reinstalled it and the same thing happened. Is there something that I can to do circumvent this problem?

Please Help. This is starting to anger me. I Reinstalled and everything.
You should update your outdated Firefox 13.0.1 version to the current Firefox 17.0.1 release.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean that Firefox always opens the web pages that were open when you closed Firefox even if you set to open with the home page or a blank page?
Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
*"Hang at exit": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
*"Firefox hangs when you quit it": https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.
Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!! -
I recently went through a nightmare with my computer where there was an "old" operating system put on my computer and I guess File Vault was turned on. Since then I've upgraded and am now running 10.8.3 but got locked out of my old admin account when I tried to restore my computer from Time Capsule. Attempts to recover anything from my old admin account have been futile
So, I started a new Admin acct and have been trying to reconstruct my life, but every time I shut down and restart my computer, it erases/resets all my prefernces, like all the things in the Dock that I remove all come back and the track pad is always moving in the wrong direction again and has to be reset every time. Is there a way I make my prefernces stick??
BTW if anyone knows how to recover all my lost stuff that would be beyond amazing too
Thanks in advance!Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!

Verizon app Verizon_MCCITrayApp_Window hangs every time I shut down Windows
Ever since I installed updated Verizon software on my PC an "Verizon_MCCITrayApp_Window program has stopped working" message displays every time I shut down. I uninstalled all Verizon programs but the Home Agent, which I'm hesitant to uninstall in case I need it for troubleshooting. At the same time I started receiving this shutdown error, I can no longer click on a link in my Thunderbird mail (verizon.net account) and open Firefox. Clicking a link in Thunderbird hangs the program and my whole system stops.
Both my Thunderbird and Firefox are at the latest version and I want to avoid re-installing either for fear of losing all my email or all my bookmarks.
Has anyone else had a problem with the last update of Verizon software?
If so, what remedied it?
Thank you.It is a great troubleshooting tool. Please uninstall it off of your computer to see if thats the problem. After doing that, reinstall the program back on to see if you have the same problems.

My iphone 4 shuts down now and then battery is charged
since one week, my Iphone 4 shuts down now and then (randomly). then I have to push the top button to restart (apple sign) and after 1-2 minutes, its running again with unlocked sim. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. (my iphone 4 is 4 years old and i'm attached to it..) kind regards
Hi Asem,
From your post I see that your iPhone 4 is unexpectedly shutting down while you're using it. To help resolve this issue please follow the directions outlined below.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it
You might see this unexpected behavior on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you have an older version of iOS. These steps can help.
Make sure that your device is up to date and your apps are up to date. If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Learn what to do if your device won't start up past Apple logo or doesn't respond.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Have a good one,
Alex H. -
When I shut down Firefox I get all the shutdown messages, so I assume it has shut down as it should. But if I go back to my PC later (within an hour or so) and click on Firefox to bring it up, I get the "runningbutnotresponding" message and the promt to restart my PC.

Why do the app tabs disappear every time you shut down the browser?
If the browser is shut down I have to start all over again with the app tabs.
I miss the facebook and other add-ons for instant access to the sites I use all the time. I am thinking about going backwards with Firefox.try this:
go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS''' then '''GENERAL''' then in session '''When firefox starts''' put '''SHOW MY HOME PAGE''', click '''OK''' to save changes, then exit firefox and re-start it.
If you have 1 home page then firefox when it starts this page it will open only, if you have 2, this 2 etc.
thank you

It shuts down unexpectedly and then it says something like "Overheat or something
Hi! My HP laptop is Pavilion dm4.
Problem: It shuts down unexpectedly and also when i touch the left side of my laptop, its so hot.Compressed air is completely safe to use on the laptop.I use it every couple of months to clean both of mine and even inside the case of my desktop. Just be sure the laptop is shut down and keep the can in upright position. If not it can disperse some of the liquid propellant in the bottom of can.

As stated above, firefox loses my profile every time I restart the computor. I have created new profiles and changed the location and changed it back again to no avail. I now want to just restart firefox in default mode but the default button does not appear, not even in safe mode.
Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that there have been several reboots involved during the troubleshooting.
I am running Firefox in an admin level account in this case - so, there shouldn't be any permission issues there.
I have tried shutting down both the desktop firewall software, and the anti-virus, and the problem still persists exactly as described. (Obviously, I disconnected the system when I did that [smile].)
All other software on the system that I have tried, interacts with the file dialog just fine ... so, I don't think it is anything central like some corruption associated with the file dialog itself.
As I said, it is most perplexing. -
Accidental adware download. How to I get rid of it?
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one. -
