Every time i try to start firefox or try and do anything within it I get "TypeError: gILTFFObj is undefined" Please help as this only happened since the new upgrade was offered

We were offered the new upgrade, so went ahead and completed the upgrade. Since then every time we open firefox, or try and do anything with it after it's open, such as clicking links or trying to browse the following message comes up: "TypeError: gILTFFObj is undefined" Don't know what this is but it is very annoying.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Minefield just would not open pages, whatever I tries to type in the addressbar the URL just stayed there and nothing happened. Even if I opened a new tab and put a new url again it did not even start loading the page. This is happening since the last updates from today or yesterday. I already removed minefield and installed it again

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

You can discuss issues with Namoroka 3.6 and Minefield 4.0 nightly and alpha/beta builds at the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum.
That forum is better suited to discuss such issues.

Every time I try to open Safari it closes before I can type a website address, only started since update.

Hi lpgn,
If you are having issues launching Safari on your iPad after a recent update, you may want to try resetting the saved information in Safari. You may find the following helpful:
Follow these steps to clear information from your device:
To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History.
To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.
To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

I can't open firefox - I've tried restarting the computer several times - I'm using Microsoft Essentials and this has happened since the last virus scan.

The last virus scan brought up no problems. I can't find anything in Essentials that suggests Firefox is being blocked but I've tried opening it by clicking and right clicking but no luck. I found a suggestion on Firefox support that said I should create a new profile but I can't find the relevant exe -p program despite doing a full Search. This problem is on my desktop which is using XP (I'm sending this from my laptop where there is no problem - and I'm also using Essentials on this.) Hope someone can help as all my links are now gone.

Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
firewall may not allow access.
=================================================
'''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.

When I open a new page, Firefox won't let me close it without closing altogether the website I am exploring. This has happened since the "update" and happened on multiple website. What happened to "close tab?"

I used to be able to click "File" and "close tab" to close a page without closing a website. For a few weeks after the last Firefox update, I had to hit "exit" and that worked the same, but now it closes everything. Very irritating and time-consuming.
How do I close just the one page/pdf/document that I am looking at without closing out the website or my browser altogether?

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

In old firefox the zoom out stayed. Is there a way for this to happen on the new one too?

When I play on some sites I like them to be zoomed out so I can see more at once. But every time I change the screen I'm using it zooms back to the original. Is there a way to save the setting so I don't have to scroll so much?

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Check that you aren't running Firefox in permanent [[Private Browsing]] mode

TS3297 Every time I open iTunes to listen to music, not access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box, over and over again. When I try to access the iTunes Store it does not except my password. This has happened since the last update.

Everytime I open iTunes to play music, NOT to access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box for the iTunes Store. If I click cansel the box pops up a second time.
When I try to sign in to the iTunes Store it does not except the password and pops up the sign in box afain,and again endlessly.
This started happening about two weeks ago.

if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

When trying to start Firefox It hangs and does not load. I get a APPLE PINWHEEL and all functions on the laptop stop. I can only power off to stop the action.

Each time loading Firefox this happens. It just started yesterday. I have downloaded another copy of Firefox and tried that. I have download 3.6.19 and 5.0 versions and both do the same thing.I do not know what to do next

I have reviewed your suggested reading. NOTHING on this page is applicable.
I have deleted the original FIREFOX, UPloaded and installed 3.6.19 and also tried 5.0 version. I have not been able to get FIREFOX working again. I am very disappointed.
Once FIREFOX TRIES TO START the MENU BAR APPEARS AND THE LOCATION BAR APPEARS WITH NO PAGE SELECTED AND THE PINWHEEL STARTS TURNING. FROM THAT POINT ON MY COMPUTER IS LOCKED UP. Can you help PLEASE>

Google Calendar has lost all my events, could this have happened with the last upgrade of Firefox

All my events suddenly disappeared after my last upgrade of FireFox. I have deleted cookies etc but no events show up from Fire Fox or IE8 attempts. I believe this is a Google issue as a result of their attempt to upgrade their own Google Calendar product. Can you confirm this is absolutely not a FireFox related issue?
Also my Wall Street Journal now fails to load articles sending me a "failure to load type message...please try again" message. On the please try again the clicked article loads ok and all others load as long as I don't close FireFox.
Ideas would be appreciated.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" in "Clear Recent History" will remove exceptions that are stored in content-prefs.sqlite (site specific settings for zoom) and permissions.sqlite (exceptions for images, cookies, pop-ups, software; Tools > Page Info > Permissions) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
The password exceptions (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords) are also removed from signons.sqlite.

Since the new upgrade, Firefox opens as an opaque windown which dissolves as the cursor moves over it. It also seems to be affecting other programs.

Other programs include Spider Solitaire and like games which have trouble loading.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When I perform a search in the card catalog (on the website I am designing for our library), it opens the search in two tabs. This only happens on the homepage and only in Firefox. How do I stop this from happening?

I have tried adjusting the code and stripping it down, but nothing seems to work. When I preview the website in Internet Explorer, it works just fine.

The font in my hotmail inbox is so small I can hardly see it. This just happened with the newer version of Firefox. The font in internet explorer is fine. Can you help me enlarge it?

I have looked in the Options tab for an answer, but there is no way now to enlarge the font. Changing an individual email that I am typing isn't a problem, I know how to do that. but my inbox emails are in about size 5 font. Any suggestions?

I am getting problems with Firefox not responding and it takes several tries to get to where I want. What causes this?

When I log onto the internet I am now using Google as my home page but my problem still exists. When I go to get a new site I get a message that Firefox is not responding. Then it clears up and I click on something else and it does the same thing. I have even done a complete virus and malware check on my computer. What can I do to correct this?
