Firefox 5 opens mutiple web browsers and does not display homepage-white page only

I use windows 7 starter. When I start Firefox 5 it keeps opening firefox web browsers, up to 50 at a time. I did try the sugestions in the help area of firefox, but it still happens. The browser also opens on a white page with nothing on it. I was asked to upgrade to firefox 6 but I refused becuase I use NoDoFollow and seoquake and the system said that those adons are not compatible with firefox6.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
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).

  • Firefox opens in task manager but does not display.

    This morning my Firefox stopped working and I had to end task. Afterwards when trying to restart Firefox the firefox process will open under task manager but nothing displays on the screen. I've tried ending all firefox processes and restarting my pc. I also tried creating a new profile under the firefox,exe -manageprofile command. When I created the new profile and ran under it I had the exact same problem. I tried running under safe mode and I get the pop up telling me that mozila is running under safe mode with the check box's for clearing settings but there is still no window displayed and when clicking continue in safe mode the pop up box goes away and I'm left with nothing once again. I tried running the firefox setup freshly downloaded in an attempt to repair the setup of sorts but this had no effect.
    I also did a short search of the forum for any soloutions but so far haven't found anything. If anyone could suggest some more things to try before I do a complete wipe of Firefox using CCleaner.
    Also in the event I use CCleaner I'd like to back up my bookmarks first so if anyone knows a start parameter to back up bookmarks or even what file the bookmarks are stored (already found a forum topic on the saved passwords file) in and if copying that file into a new installation will work please let me know.
    Regards to any one who can assist.

    I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
    First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
    1. Shut down the computer
    2. Reboot and open firefox
    3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
    4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
    5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
    6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
    7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
    8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
    9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
    If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck!

  • I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

    I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • ADE stuck on cover page and does not go to any page

    ADE stuck on cover page and does not go to any page

    I was having the same problem. I've discovered that I can now go to other pages by clicking on the arrow or highlighting the place I want to go in the Table of Contents and then clicking on the "Toggle Full Screen View" icon in the upper right-hand corner. I have to click on this icon with each page change. This doesn't make sense to me and I happened upon it accidently. I'm sure there must be a better way.

  • JSP stops loading in IE and does not display in NS

    I am running several JSP pages on Tomcat 4. The pages make one query to an Oracle 8i database that returns about 70 records. I display some text from each record using a loop.
    For some reason, the page just stops loading. IE displays some of the HTML, then stops at some point and displays the underlying HTML code. NS does not load the page at all (probably since the JSP stops loading before it can reach the closing </hmtl> tag).
    I have tried flushing the cache manually. I have also tried autoflushing the cache and adjusting the cache size (all the way down to zero).
    The page was loading fine until I deleted some records from the underlying database. Then the problem started occurring. It is only on one or two pages and on no other JSP pages. Even pages with nearly identical code work fine.
    Is this some type of fluke? I have run into this error before, but somehow miracluously, the pages would start working again. I thought perhaps it was a problem with Tomcat, but I am not sure.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    For some reason, the page just stops loading. IE
    displays some of the HTML, then stops at some point
    and displays the underlying HTML code. NS does not
    load the page at all (probably since the JSP stops
    loading before it can reach the closing </hmtl> tag).In my experience, if a page does not display completely,
    or if it displays the underlying HTML, then there is probably
    something wrong in the HTML itself. The culprit is usually
    a missing ending tag or some error like an unterminated
    string.
    The easiest way to check this is to run the JSP. Then select
    "view source" from the menu and save the source code to a new
    html file. You can edit the html file and see what went wrong.

  • When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

    Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When i open the add ons page in firefox the pages do not display correctly the pages only show text and are in lists

    when i click on the add ons tab the page does not show correctly. There are no graphics just text. It is difficult to view the page details. If you click on a link within the page the next page opens with exactly the same problem. All other tabs and pages open and display correctly

    Hi,
    If you're using a theme you can try to temporarily switch to the '''Default''' theme in Tools > Add-ons > Appearance. If the problem persists, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

  • A page on a website which opens fine in Internet Explorer does not display accurately in Firfox...how can I fix this?

    I usually only use Firefox and don't compare screens between Internet Explorer and Firefox. However I was working on a website I am developing with a friend in Seattle and she sent me a trial and the pages don't fit on the screen right, for instance there is a return mail form that runs out of its box and leaves off the bottom of the page. She was having no trouble opening it on her computer (even in Firefox). It opens easily and correctly on my wife's computer in Internet Explorer, as it does on my computer. It is only in Firefox on my computer that it opens wrong. Also, and perhaps it is not related, opening videos in Firefox on my computer takes a long time when they open isntantly on my wife's computer in IE. I have more ready memory, more RAM and more graphics software on my computer than she does. Why should this be happening only in Firefox? I was so happy not using Internet Explorer any longer.
    I have attached a link to a page that I am having trouble with. It is not the only one. My screen does not show me the bottom of the response form where I can submit the form. It only shows half of the image verification code and no place to submit. I bet when you open it up you will see the whole screen.

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • Opening new tab does not display my home page by default, what setting do I change to achieve this?

    When selecting the open new tab option, in the past, the tab opened displaying my designated home page. It now opens displaying a YAHOO! search page. My home page settings have not changed and continue to display the correct address, selecting 'home' brings up the correct home page, at any time during browsing. Is there another location where this 'invalid' new tab address might be listed, and removed or reset ?

    VC you are a genius! I solved my problem with your solution.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Sometimes my back button is greyed out and does not show the previous page i was just looking at!?

    This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.
    All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.
    However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.
    I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

    I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site

  • IE7 Does Not Display Custom Error Pages

    Hi,
    I set up the "Handling Servlet Exceptions (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/servlets/handlingservletexceptions/handlingservletexceptions.html#log) sample code in JDev 10.1.3 on a WindowsXP desktop.
    After modifying the web.xml to run the sample "Catch500Error" servlet I discovered IE7 will not display the custom error page but Mozilla Firefox will.
    The web.xml looks like this:
    <web-app>
    <description>web.xml file for HandlingServletExceptions Application</description>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>CatchError500</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>oracle.otnsamples.servlets.CatchError500</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>CatchError500</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/catcherror500</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
    <session-timeout>35</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <error-page>
    <error-code>500</error-code>
    <location>/web/500error.html</location>
    </error-page>
    </web-app>
    Does anyone know how to get IE7 to display the custom error page?
    TIA,
    Jim

    The post documents a problem with 'dashboard designer' not 'sharepoint designer' as the post above mentions. I tried the solution that Jilu posts and that does not fix the problem for dashboard designer.
    I figured this out. In the master page gallery where my custom master page was deployed, I had to edit the details, change the content type to 'publishing master page'. After that change there was then UI versions for 3 and 4. I change the UI to 4, published
    the  master page document in the library then dashboard designer saw the custom master page.

  • Page Number does not display on every page

    I am having a problem showing the page number on every page. I can get it to show on the first page if I place the XML tags at the top OR if I place the XML tags at the bottom then it shows only on the last page.
    I tried to use the <?body-start?><?body-end?> tags and placing the page number in front of or behind these. I have tried to insert the native word page number functionality as well as <?fo:page-number?> and get the same results.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated -
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I have inserted the page number in the RTF and it definitely shows up on the first page but not on any of the following pages.
    As a side note - if I use Word's header and put anything up there it does not show up at all on the template.

    I have stopped using firefox as default because of issues that started about 12 months ago . Instead of the usual fierfox browser opening it was hijacked by Talk talk uk page and also bombarded by adds by ( FAVORITE ) , I have errased everything from my computer regarding firefox / mozilla / thunderbird and also erased all bookmarks etc so as no trace could hinder the re installation but to no avail !
    So i am back on chrome and have no issues !

  • After installing Firefox 6, when I click on an e-mail (thunderbird) link, Firefox stays on the backround and does not open in front. How can I make firefox come to the front automatically when a link is clicked?

    If I receive an e-mail on thurnderbird with a link to a URL, if I click it firefox will open in the background, but it won't automatically com to the front, but will stay in the back. I have to click on the thurnderbird icon to make the firefox screen come up.
