Every time I start Firefox in my admin account, it checks my add-ons, then opens with 2 tabs: my home page and the intro to FF8. Why does it act like it's the first time every time? This doesn't happen in my regular user account. Thanx!
It's a WinXP box.
The appearance is Brushed Metal.
Extensions are WOT, Java Quick Starter 1.0, and avast! WebRep 6.0.1289; .NET Framework Assistant has been disabled.
Plugins include Adobe Acrobat, Java Deployment Toolkit, and more.
I'm about to add more add-ons: Ghostery et al.

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! -
Frequently when I reopen Firefox, I am greeted with a page that wants to reopen a previously viewed site. I '''never''' want this page to come up when I open Firefox. I only want the home page to open. If I want to revisit a site, I will personally go there the normal way. This is a feature of Firefox that could just as well be permanently removed. How do I change the settings in Foxfire so I always get what I want when I open Foxfire?
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. -

I'm using Firefox v. 20.0.1 and Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
It should be necessary to confirm that you want to install third-party extensions.<br />
This usually indicates that other software is messing with files in the profile folder and is corrupting them.<br />
This can either be the extensions.sqlite database file or the prefs.js that stores first run prefs (the first is the most likely cause).
Do you have any cleanup software running on a schedule that may be causing this?
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file. -
All I get is a blank home page, along with a spinning beach ball. I cannot open the preferences to try to clear the cache, and must force quit to get out of Firefox. I have tried clearing the cache from the Library, and trashed the preferences file. I uninstalled the application, and reinstalled a newly downloaded application. I have restarted the computer many times, and run the disk utility to repair permissions. Nothing has worked. I have not added or upgraded anything on my computer since Firefox was working just a few days ago. Safari works fine connecting to the web. I have read through most of the support documents at Firefox Help, but cannot find anything that addresses this specific problem of hanging immediately after launch.
I have the exact same problem--and it just started around November 11, 2011. I have rebooted, reinstalled, and relaunched many times and Firefox just hangs on launch. Spinning beach ball of death and all that.
I have not installed any new software or changed anything on my computer.

Mac/FF 4. Title says it all:
When I go to the Add-ons Manager in FF4, no add-ons are listed, but I'm using the browser and all of my add-ons are available everywhere they're supposed to be.
I have 3.6.16 installed in another directory which uses the same add-ons.https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/826729 has a solution for the problem

My new laptop came with IE installed. I downloaded FF and installed it without any problems. FF has crashed every time I have tried to use it. I have never had this problem before on either laptop or desktop and found that I could use FF most of the time, only switching to IE occasionally when a site worked better with it ... which wasn't often.

I have the latest version of iTunes. Whenever I click on the iTunes store section on iTunes the loading bar reaches half-way then stops. I can access my acount on my ipod touch however. i have tried reinstalling itunes but no help. I do have an internet filter but it is not doing any pop-ups(as it always does when it blocks content) so I am very sure that is not the problem.
Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Every time I start Firefox I have to click on Tools, go to Options, then under the Connections tab select settings and change the proxy to "no proxy" from "Manual Configuration". Why is this doing this?

Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] -
Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this happening and only allow Aperture to open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance anyone may be able to give.
Best regards, John.because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
John,
William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.
Regards

In addition to my home page, every time I start Firefox a tab opens with notification of an updated addon. Why does this tab continue to appear even though there is no updated version of the addon?

After I close Firefox I am unable to reopen, I get a message that I can't reopen until I close it, but it is already closed. This is happening almost every time I close Firefox. I have to restart my computer in order to open Firefox.
