Every time I update Firefox, my settingfor yahoo is not recognized. Why?

At the top of my screen I have settings for yahoo, amazon, news,etc.
If I click on the one for yahoo, Firefox says UNRECOGNIZED.
This happens every time I update Firefox. From three past updates and before FIREFOX did not do that.

  • Every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I try to restart

    every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

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

  • Every time I update Firefox I can't get back on the internet. I have to uninstall and go back to an old Firefox.

    I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

    Check your firewall settings.

  • Every time I update Firefox, I get Adobe Flash plugin errors

    I'm disgusted with Firefox and Adobe. Does anyone have a fix for the problem that Firefox causes every time I upgrade? (Win 7, 64 bit I think) ... I just tried to re-install v29 Firefox (which was the last version that worked) ... and got routed to something called Aurora install.
    I just want to use a reliable firefox. But whenever I upgrade Firefox, and repeatedly turn off ALL security features so that I can update Adobe flash -- nothing works. Once I get this solved, I'm turning off the Firefox update check option and continue to do all my secure stuff on Chrome! I used to be a huge fan of netscape ... but this is stupid beyond belief.
    Here's the error message I get:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
    Script: resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/browser/extensions/%7B82AF8DCA-6DE9-405D-BD5E-43525BDAD38A%7D.xpi!/bootstrap.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/jquery-2.1.0.min.js:26

    ... me again ... no need to respond to this problem, I'm just not going to keep wasting time on this browser. Realistically, the posts all over the internet show that Mozilla hasn't bothered addressing this issue for YEARS, and I'm just not interested in wasting any more time or interest in hoping that they will get their act together.
    Good luck, former colleagues: I hope they treat you better in the future~!

  • Every time i update firefox to the newest version, it wont connect to the internet. Why?

    every time i get the firefox update I lose internet connection. I have to uninstall it and install old version...very annoying

    What Firewall do you use? It's possible it is blocking Firefox from accessing the internet when it updates. Try to read [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]] and [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]

  • Why in God's name is it that every time YOU update firefox my add-on's break? I'll stop using your browser if you are going to keep breaking the plugins platform and require plug-in developers to re-write their plugins to stay compliant! That's retarded!

    every time you people update the browser 1/2 or more of my plugins end up broken. WHY? It's counter productive when I rely on some of the add-ons I use. I'll just stop using your browser. Do you know that it gives the impression that it SUCKS?! (By the way, I had updates TURNED OFF and yet it still updated? HOW?!)

  • Can you please stop changing my default search engine every time you update Firefox?

    I would like for the developers of Firefox to respect my settings. I have taken the time to set them and do not appreciate my default search engine changed by Mozilla when updates are automatically applied. Somewhere along the lines, Mozilla hopped in bed with Yahoo. I'm not in bed with Yahoo, please keep me out of the bedroom!!!!

    Agree completely. Mozilla's reputation takes a hit from affiliation with Yahoo - this is one of the reasons I've stopped automatically accepting upgrades, no matter how many times a day mozilla pushes them at me with a pop-up message.

  • It seems that every time I update Firefox, Firefox sync starts getting errors every time it tries to sync.

    I have an hTC Mecha (Thunderbolt) running Firefox for Android, two partitions on one laptop both using Firefox as well as a desktop with two partitions both of which also use Firefox. I'm not sure how I fixed it / what fixed this issue last time, but eventually it worked perfect with the update to Fx 4. However, now that I've updated my platforms to 5.x, sync has started getting errors again. I'm not sure if it actually prevents the sync from happening. Actually, I have reason to believe the sync still works most of the time, but the errors are starting to really annoy me.
    Let me know if there's any other information you need.
    All the best,

  • Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

    The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

    Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
    You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.

  • EVERY time I close firefox it takes DOZENS if not HUNDREDS of tries to get it to come up. HELP

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915561''
    I cant confirm the email because firefox WILL NOT OPEN......THIS IS MY PROBLEM

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  • Firefox 3.6.10 update won't load on restart (tried many times) and exits after warning to restart again - how to disable warning so don't have to start twice every time I use Firefox?

    I regret agreeing to download Firefox 3.6.10 update, as it is somehow corrupted, and will not load when I restart. Subsequently, every time I start Firefox, it warns "Update Ready to Install", then when I don't restart (if I restart, it won't load) it exits, and I have to start Firefox a second time. Then it works without the warning, but when I exit and start Firefox again, the warning returns and the cycle repeats. This is such a nuisance I have gone back (reluctantly) to Explorer. Is there anyway for me to get rid of this corrupted update and go back to before I downloaded the fateful update?

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
