After updateing Firefox all my tabs open object moved so I have to diable plugins and run in safe mode which is a real hassel. What can I do to fix this?

I don't know what else to say other than I have had Firefox for a while and an update came up and so I updated and Firefox has not worked right since then. I open a tab and it comes back Object Move (here) or Object moved temporary or some such crap. I then have to to the Firefox control go to help and and restart with add -on's Disabled I have tried ever other setting listed and nothing changes this problem from happening.

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

Firefox keeps wanting to start in Safe Mode and it says I can make some changes permanent such as "Disable all add-ons" and others. When I select one of the options I can then "Make Changes and Restart".

When I make my selection it can then proceed to use Firefox. However the next time I open Firefox I get the same problem.
I'm using Windows 7. I have used Firefox for many years with Windows XP and never had this problem. Is there a solution?

See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
"Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

Firefox will not start in normal (hour glass for a second) or in safe mode (closes after choice box).

I tried all of the following with no success:

- End all firefox.exe from the task manager and then open again the firefox from quick launch or desktop or program files folder.
- Change the firefox.exe name to firefox2.exe
- Start in safe mode and choose several alternatives after choice box, but nothing happen.
Please help.

What is your computer system, and what Firefox are you using?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

> So now my question is, how can i fix this problem?
Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

Is there a compatability issue with Firefox and Andriod operating system 2.2.3? I can't get Firefox to work. I have tried uninstalling it and it won't download. in English

Is there a compatability issue with Firefox and Andriod operating system 2.2.3? I can't get Firefox to work. I have tried uninstalling it and it won't download. in English

Hi Drbobdog, there shouldn't be a compatibility with Android OS 2.2.3. There may be a compatability with the device itself.
Here are the system requirements:

I hope this helps.

Firefox 3.6 is running in safe mode . How do i change this.

I want to delete Firefox 3.6 and try Firefox 4 beta. Firefox 3.6 is running in safe mode and i am unable to delete i. I do not want to have both Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4 beta on my computer at the same time.

So irritating when the window is mis-positioned. Two suggestions:
'''-- New window method --'''
(1) With the Firefox icon active, press Alt+Spacebar and then the letter x to maximize. The Firefox window should appear full screen.
(2) Copy the following line of script code to the clipboard:
<br>newwin=window.open(window.location.href);newwin.moveTo(0,0);
(3) Press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console.
(4) Press Ctrl+v to paste the line of code then press Enter to run it. A new copy of the same page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen.
(5) Switch back to the maximized window and close it. Firefox should remember the new window's position.
'''-- Rename file method --'''
Note: this will reset all your toolbars to their default settings as well as clearing the last window position.
(1) With the Firefox icon active, press Alt+Spacebar and then the letter x to maximize. The Firefox window should appear full screen.
(2) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(3) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., Firefox > Exit or File > Exit)
(4) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old.
(5) You're done here. You can close this window and restart Firefox.

I can only get my bookmarks to appear in safe mode when starting firefox normally they do not appear

Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Why is Firefox running in Safe Mode in Windows Start, ever since updating to 6.0.2.4?

just answer the question please...... and tell me why since upgrade approximately 2 weeks ago to 6.0.2.4, is Firefox running in Safe Mode and why? Also, my menu bar completely changed and all my menu preferences disappeared... WHY? The menu bar went to a weak Yahoo format, and basically ousted my Google home page. Why?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
Do you get a Safe mode start window or is it only that the Firefox window looks different?

Do you get the [[Safe mode]] start window?

Does this start right when you start firefox or after you've loaded some pages? Are there specific pages that cause this problem?

Does anyoned have experience with Firefox 4.0 for Mac crashing immediately upon start up? My crash id is 41ffa3f8-5230-4218-b9e3-cf9ef2110423.

After Firefox started crashing I reinstalled it. It crashed immediately. I wasn't able to open it in safe mode.

Deleting the caches using onyx.. Is not usually a wise thing... OS X is quite capable of taking care of such things itself and often using something like onyx can cause more issues than it fixes......
Anyhow.. Try deleting logics prefs as per the troubleshooting doc here....

Delete both logics prefs and CDs prefs as indicated in section #8

After installing firefox version 31 I keep getting error messages that firefox cannot find some servers. How can this be fixed?

I use Ebates. Now when I go to Ebates and choose a store, then the transfer to store website comes up and then an error message that firefox cannot find the listed server. I keep getting that message alot.
On the frontier homepage there is an error message that firefox cannot find the ad server for yahoo.
I was having problems with firefox so I did a reset firefox and then installed the new version 31.
Seems it might be draggy or slow/sluggish. I like using Ebates. I contacted them and they said they were not having any issues at the moment. I contacted my antivirus provider and they said they could not detect anything either. Would a system restore get me back to the older version?

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites 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 > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
