Firefox always asks to enable add-on when I restart PC

Although I have to set to "enable" all of my add-ons in about:addons, whenver I restart PC and open Firefox, it asks me to enable them again! Actually it doesn't remember my settings with the installed addon!

Did you check the network setting?
Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

Siri always asks for a contact name when sending an iMessage

Hi!
I have been experiencing this problem for a while now, and figured it was a bug in iOS7 until I was playing around with a colleague's iPhone and noticed it only happens on my phone.
When I ask Siri to send a message to a friend, Siri will always ask me to whom I want to send it.Even if I include the name in my command.
For example, if I ask, "Send a message to Marco", siri will recognise my sentence, yet still ask me:
This happens to every message I send. Siri hears the name, but chooses to ignore it.
Is there something I broke at some point? I have contacts on iCloud, personal Gmail (CardDAV) and corporate Gmail (Exchange), and no matter which name I use, this keeps happening.
Can someone maybe advise me on this very puzzling experience?

Not sure from your example but it appears that the address doesn't have a full domain, i.e., the part between http:// and the next / is not a valid internet domain name, e.g.,
http://sometext-webproxy/
In that case, it's probably something running on your computer, either as part of your security software, or as a Firefox add-on, or malware.
A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If you can access sites normally, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can try here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Firefox keeps asking to install Flash. When I attempt this, I get an error message stating it failed. Flash works in Google Chrome, but not FF.

I don't know what happened but Firefox keeps asking me to install Flash. When I attempt to install the program, I get an error message that it has failed. There is no other information given and I'm just left hanging. I've tried this over twenty times with the same results. I've even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but this continues. I'm unable to watch any YouTube videos. I then installed Google Chrome and all is working fine. I can't stand the Google company though and really with I could continue using Firefox. Why is GC working for me any FF not? How can I fix this?

Google Chrome comes with its own Flash plugin, so doesn't require to install Flash separately.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
You may have to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) and make sure that Firefox and possibly other browsers are closed.

On one site... FireFox always asks what application to use to open a pDF even with "Do this automatically..." select. How do I make it always use Adobe Reader for PDF files?

When I click on a PDF file it always presents the "You have chosen to open ..." dialog box. Even though it knows it is a PDF file and should use the Adobe Reader. I've checked the Tools / Options ... Application section which is set correctly as well. I've tried setting it to other aps too. yet it always asks. How do I get around this?

Hi meunchdl,
You might want to take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]]. There is some good information in there that might help you with your issue.

Every time I restart my PC and launch the Firefox it asks to install add-ons I installed earlier.

Hi,
Every time I restart/shut down my PC and start the Firefox it asks me to install add-ons I had before restart/shut down.

Hi,
You should look at 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!

Why does Firefox always ask me to approve a resend when using back button?

Almost every time I press the back button Firefox presents a pop up to ask if I want to resend. How can I stop this from happening? I just want it to go back to the previous page. It is an irritating waste of time to have to click the resend button all the time.

It is ok that we get an alert before resending post data. But we don't want resend anything when we click on back button. We just want to see the page as was shown last time. When we want to resend data we may hit refresh on the page.

Firefox always asks for a username/password from a proxy for any website I try to visit. "No proxy" is selected.

Firefox is installed on my work computer (v16 on windows XP). When I go to any unsecure website, I get a request for a username and password from a proxy. I don't have one, so I press "cancel." I get the following message (I put the asterisks in):
"This Page Cannot Be Displayed
Authentication is required to access the requested web site ( *******-webproxy ). A valid user ID and password must be entered when prompted.
If you have questions, need assistance with your login information, or feel this is an error, please contact your corporate network administrator and provide the codes shown below.
Notification codes: (1, WWW_AUTH_REQUIRED, *********-webproxy)"
The website in the address bar is: http://*******-webproxy/B0000D0000N0001F0000S0002R0004/http://www.whatever.com/
This started after it upgraded (to which version, I don't remember). I also had another version of firefox installed to my "Local Settings" directory since I can't (un)install programs on the computer. That one was working fine until I upgraded to v.15 or v.16 (or maybe 14... I don't remember), and then I started getting the warning screen for an untrusted connection whenever I went to a secure website (https), I had to confirm a security exception, etc. And even then some pages only appeared as text.
I uninstalled that version, and then installed 17b4, and I'm back to the same problem as the original firefox: unsecure websites always seem to be redirecting through a proxy, and secure ones always tell me the connection is untrusted and I have to confirm an exception. I have "No proxy" selected in the network options. I tried v16 with the same results.
I would love to be able to just go to a website and not have to confirm security exceptions or get web proxy errors.
Internet Explorer works fine, btw.

While playing Zoo and Farm Town on Facebood Firefox always asks me to log on it is always timing out Why??????????????????????? Very Frustrating

While on Facebook... Firefox stops working and asks me to log on again very frustrating I go on Chrome and it does the same thing but when I use my husband email chrome stays connected this is really cazy.....
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since I have been using Firefox

Hi Barbara!
I'm not 100% sure I understand your problem, so please post further information so I can help you better. But I'll give it a shot.
You have a PC (with Windows Vista?) with both the Mozilla Firefox (3.6.3?) and Google Chrome browsers installed, and when you play those games on Facebook, they freeze up, times out and you have to log in again, right?
Or do the browser shut down and maybe even restart, thus making you have to log in again?
As much and as precise info you can provide will make it easier to understand the problem you have, and help me help you solve it. :)
It can be a problem with the applications running those games on Facebook - most likely Adobe Flash, but could also be Sun Java or maybe even Apple Quicktime.
We have some articles providing help with these:
For information and testing your Flash installation, we have the support article [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
For testing that Javascript is working correctly, you can find test links and info in this article: [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]].
For information, test and fixing of QuickTime see [[Using the QuickTime plugin with Firefox]].
Service information: You can always test your plugins via the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Plugin Check page] to stay on the safe side. But use the 3 above articles to test each component.
If the problem happens in both browsers, it is likely that it is caused by another program running on your computer - it could be a security program interfering with the browsers, or some kind of malware.
This article may help you with the latter: [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]; for security programs we have separate KB articles for each provider (AVG, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, F.Secure, Trend Micro, Comodo), search on the name of yours in the yellow "Search Firefox Help" box on the right side of this page.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

Firefox always asks to update, I do and 'restart to update' but does not. Everytime I open Firefox it wants to update.

This has been a recurring problem. In the past I have had to manually reinstall Firefox from their website each time new version comes out. But then when the next version comes along, it never updates itself again. I would think installing the new, latest version from your website would fix this, but it does not. Why does the update feature of Firefox never work on my Win & system? Every time I install Firefox I use the same folder, but not the default. I am installing into "C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox". I would hope your updater would be smart enough to know that, but thought I should share. Everything else should be standard.

I am running Windows7, using only their firewall. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed as the anti-virus.
I performed the following steps as you requested:
1) Run as Admin:
a. Closed Firefox and reopened “As Administrator”. It again asked permission to run since it was going to try to do the update again. But it just opened normally.
b. When I click on ‘Help-About’ it again says ver. 32.0.2 and downloads a 3.9MB update (again).
c. I click restart to update (again) and it still says 32.0.2 and again downloads the same 3.9 MB update, asking again to restart. So Admin made no difference.
2) Uninstall/Reinstall:
a. Using your link I then downloaded version 32.0.3 (I had to do the same thing on all prior versions, the last full download was 32.0.2. So this problem has been going on for quite some time.
b. I next uninstall both Mozilla Firefox 32.0.2 and Mozilla Maintenance services. I was not asked about removing personal data as you indicated I should have. Since you mentioned that I assume it should have asked. Why not?
c. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files
d. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files(x86) (this is where it had put the “Maintenance Services”, even though I had requested to install Firefox under the “Internet Applications” directory.
e. I deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications (even though this was uninstalled, there were five subfolders left and an .nfo file. Clearly Firefox does not do a clean uninstall). Will this bug eventually be fixed to do a clean install and delete all program folders?
f. I then installed version 32.0.3. By default it wanted to install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.
i. Why is it installing only a 32 bit version when I am running 64 bit Windows 7?
ii. I changed the default to the one I used before (but was now deleted): C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox.
iii. I did allow it to install the maintenance service again, even though this never works.
iv. After installation there was still no Mozilla folder under Program Files, so it did not install any 64 bit – why not?
v. It did install the program under …\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox, as it should have
vi. However, it again made the mistake of installing Mozilla Maintenance Services under C:\Program Files (x86) rather than under the “Internet Applications” submenu as it did the main program as directed. This is an ongoing bug from prior versions. When will this bug ever be fixed so that it is installed in the subfolder selected by the user?
Since this is the same procedure I have to use every time Firefox needs an update, you have not solved my problem. Does anyone at Mozilla care and will get down to the bottom of this? Or should I just delete the Mozilla Maintenance Services since it appears it is not designed to function (at least not in Windows7)?
I have performed the exact steps you indicated and provided you with the steps and the results. Please answer all six questions above. I had highlighted them bold so you could see them, but your web reply stripped the bold, spacing, tabs, etc. and made the above less readable. Also, the Bold in your web reply also does not work - it only put quotes around and would not bold. Since your web response bold does not work either, please carefully find the six questions and answer them. Most importantly I would like to know a fix to this ongoing problem of the updates not working. I am tired of doing this entire process for every little update. Thank you.
Bill

Firefox is asking me to add an exception for security for a website that has told me its certificate is valid.

I am running Firefox 31.0 on a Windows 8.1 o/s. When I attempt to access my email provider in its' "secure" mode, I am advised that the connection is untrustworthy. (Parenthetically, this does not occur on my other two systems running respectively, Windows 7 and Windows XP.) I am asked to provide an authorization for an 'exception' prior to completing the connection. The option of making the exception permanent is NOT available, so I go through this every time I begin a new internet session. I have contacted the email provider and been advised that their digital certificate is valid. So, as I see it there are three problems: (1) if the certificate is valid, as is suggested by the provider, why does Firefox not recognize this, (2) why does the exception window not allow me the option to make the exception status enduring, and (3) why is this problem present only on my Windows 8.1 system?

Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

Firefox keeps asking me to update however when I check the updates compatability I find that it wont work with my security software [avg free] being reluctant to leave my computer open to attack I am not updating until this problem is resolved

Firefox is asking to close all tabs when I close a firefox popup message.

Open 2 or 3 sites in tab, and click a link which gives popup message, close the popup message, firefox asks to close all the tabs, which does not use to happen before in older versions. Please advice

For example, on the following link:
http://www.amazon.com/Clear2GO-Water-Bottle-with-Filter/dp/B002VPRKSC/ref=pd_sim_k_4
When I click on the water bottle image, a window pops up with an enlarged picture of the product. However, when I try to close the popup, it asks me if I want to close all my tabs.

Firefox is asking for an administrator password when none exists. I can't install. WHY

I am trying to install firefox. I've used explorer, chrome, opera. None of them are working. It keeps asking me for an administrator password. My account on my computer is an administrator but I don't have a password. I even went and created one and it still says bad login information. I tried to download from the stub, I tried to download from the full version. I'm about ready to give up but I really like firefox. I'm on windows 7

Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
You probably need that password to set up the Mozilla Maintenance Service to male it possible to install updates in the background.

My Firefox 4 network settings are not saved when I restart Firefox.

In particular, when I set my proxy configuration to 'No Proxy', it keeps getting reverted back to 'Manual Proxy' with '127.0.0.1' as the proxy address and '63111' as the port.

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