Firefox Beta 36 asks to set Firewall settings on startup every time

Beta 36 for Firefox starting a few days ago asks to add an exception to the OSX firewall on startup each time. Even if I accept, and enter my admin credentials. Also if I add Firefox in the Firewall settings permanent. It never asked me before the latest beta.
I am using 10.10.2

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}

Thanks for the reply but it is fixed now with a new version, beta 37.0
The previous Firefox version did not resolve even after I removed and then added Firefox again to the Firewall exception list.

How can I stop Firefox from asking me whether to share my location every time I visit a new page, after I've repeatedly answered Never Share My Location?

You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar. 
Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website. 
Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.

What can be done or how can I ensure all firefox's are shut??

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

Firefox does not start up after an automatic update. Every time i try to open it, it just prompts the Mozilla Crash Reporter.

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
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) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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.

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

by the way, you can also try to safe boot up your mac for safe mode. maybe it can work and you can deal with problem there.
for safe boot:
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. What do I do?

Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. I have "Remember Me" checked off, so I don't understand why it's doing this. Just started all of a sudden. What do I do?

tried the above still having the same problem

Why does firefox beta download ask for adminstrator password but when I put it in, its says wrong password or user name?

whenever I try to download firefox beta on my laptop it asks for an adminstrator password but when i put it in it says wrong user " name or password" so I try to by pass that by trying to download as user but then nothing happens the dialog box disappears and I have to start the download all over again. I'm trying to sync firefox with my android phone but I can't get the desktop/laptop version going.

Since installing Windows 7 there have been some weird goings on with my laptop.
I kept muddling around with this and ran a few diagnostics only to find that everything was fine. There was an incompatibility problem with Windows 7 and Firefox (safe mode) which I cared for by simply agreeing with everything Windows 7 wanted to do. It made an adjustment and apparently between the two programs they worked it out.
I tried downloading Firefox 4 beta one more time...using a fresh download in my Firefox browser and from the Firefox webpage. Oddly, this time the program downloaded saved itself to my laptop. I was able to open and install it without incident.
Now, I am all sync'd up!
Thank you very much for your assistance

Firefox 4 forgets my settings (not saving history, asking where to download, starting page etc) every time I reboot laptop.

Also all add-on pages appear every time I log in to Windows and start Firefox, for example the black colorzilla page that starts with the text This page will only be shown once. Not funny at all.

How can I stop Firefox from re-setting its internet connection configuration every time I re-open the browser? It should stay at "no proxy" but doesn't.

In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

How to make Firefox reset printing to Default Printer and Settings at Startup

Earlier versions of Firefox and most Windows programs that I know of, start by using the default printer with default settings. If you change them, they stay changed for that session, but once you close the program and re-start it, you are back to a clean slate. V3.6 of Firefox now remembers settings such as portrait/landscape, zoom settings, etc. I find myself throwing out paper because I zoomed in on a certain document on Friday, then on Monday inadvertently print 20 pages of a normal page because Firefox remembered the zoom and I forgot about it. I would hate to HAVE to do a print preview EVERY time I printed because I couldn't count on the default settings. Thanks for your help.

Here's a great link with a fix that worked for me.

Snow Leopard Firewall asks to Allow/Deny iTunes 9.0 every time

I'm on 10.6 and just upgraded to iTunes 9.0.
Now every time I open the app the OS X firewall asks if I want to Allow/Deny.
I choose and Allow and it puts iTunes in the Firewall list will Allow. However, it just keeps asking every time the app is opened.
Any ideas?
I do have an ATV syncing with this machine.
-Kevin

I'm having a similar problem, and once a few large downloads finish I can try the re-install iTunes 9 route. But I'd still like to field my question here. Also, I'm already running 10.6.2:
After turning on Snow Leopard's Firewall, I got the same allow/deny prompt for iTunes when my Apple TV began syncing wirelessly. I haven't been bothered with that prompt after choosing Allow, but Console.app shows this entry every 1-3 seconds:
11/10/09 1:34:41 PM Firewall[67] Allow iTunes connecting from 10.0.1.198:50189 to port 3689 proto=6
It keeps repeating, over and over and over. Any idea what's going on?

My homepage is set to igoogle.nl and every time i restart firefox my homepage changes to another homepage so i have to set constantly my homepage back to igoogl.nl

IMG 1.9 set-up screen shows up EVERY time I turn on my television

Hello,
I live in NJ and received the IMG 1.9 update a few days ago.
Every time I turn on my TV, I get the set-up screen asking me to choose my television type (standard or HDTV). For some reason, the box isn't "holding" my choice. I tried rebooting, but the set-up screen continues to pop up when I turn on the television. It let's me choose my television type (HDTV) and then everything is fine. But if I shut off the set and put it back on, the set-up screen is back.
Is anyone else having this problem with 1.9? And if so, is there a solution.
Thanks for any help.
Redfran

Did the Live Chat and here is what became of it, of course the rep proves once again that they never read the information you try to provide, they only know the script. And they don't get it, asking a question that has been answered tends to tick us off.
A Verizon Service Representative will be with you shortly. Thank you. Agent Kado has joined. (07:52:31) Kado : Chat ID for this session is 10011174309.
(07:52:31)
Kado(07:52:41): Thank you for using Verizon Live Chat technical support, my name is Kado. I apologize for any delays in reaching an agent. I can send a 1 time, informative, email to your listed email address at the end of this chat if you would like?
DAVID (07:53:05): No thanks I have about 20 of those emails.
Kado(07:53:35): Ok thank you, For account verification purposes, can I get your name, the account holders name, the physical address where you have the service, and a number where you can be reached, please?
Kado(07:55:15): Thank you, do you mind if I call you David?
DAVID (07:55:29): No I don't mind
Kado(07:55:34): How can I assist you today David?
DAVID (07:57:18): Last week we got the 1.9 software, and ever since, only on the 7232, we turn on the TV it asks if we have SD or HD, we select HD and continue on. But this happens every time the TV is turned on, is there a fix?
Kado(07:58:18): One moment please.
DAVID (07:58:41): I forgot to mention the box has been rebooted and auto corrected many times to no avail
Kado(07:59:17): ok, do you select the HD or SD option?
DAVID (07:59:43): I wrote above we select the HD
Kado(08:00:13): Please turn it off and back on and select SD Kado(08:02:53): How we doing
DAVID (08:02:55): Can't, it isn't happening when the box is turned on and off so quick. This is the only time it hasn't happened.
Kado(08:03:25): Turn it off for a minute and then try please.
DAVID (08:04:33): I am waiting to turn it on, what would selecting SD accomplish? Kado(08:05:13): it gets it out of the loop that it is in Kado(08:05:18): then we can go into the menu and change it.
DAVID (08:06:06): OK, I'll have to do it later because it is not going into that screen when I turn it on.
Kado(08:07:02): Ok, try that and it should break the loop and stop doing it. Kado(08:07:12): Is there anything else I can help you with today?
DAVID (08:07:52): No, that is all, hoping that fixes things, otherwise the new software is much better, we really like it.
Kado(08:08:22): Excellent! I want to thank you for choosing Verizon and I hope you can rate me a 10, in the survey at the end of this chat. Have a great day!
Dave

Have used firefox for 3 years, have a new computer now and every time I go into my normal places I get a warning about encrypted page and third party viewing, please help!

I have used Mozilla Firefox for 3 years with no issues. I have now purchased a new laptop (Samsung) and cannot access my regular sites (like Windows Live or my banking, most everything) without getting a Yellow waring arrow stating that I am going into an encrypted page and third parties are able to see what I am doing. I am very concerned if others are having access. My bank says it has nothing to do with them...it is an https secure site. I still have major concerns, please help!

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
