Firefox consistently loads with "This is embarassing" message, but isn't crashing beforehand? How do i fix

My issue began yesterday and I can't seem to correct the problem. Every time I open firefox i'm met with the annoying restore message, (it's not usually annoying but because it happens every time I start firefox it's really starting to bother me) even if I close all my tabs before hand, close firefox and then quit the program entirely. I can understand this happening if say, I force quit when I had tabs open, but I'm not. And that too, was never an issue before.
I'm using Firefox 20.0 on my Mac, running 10.7.5 (Lion).
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling firefox.
I also deleted the sessionstore.bak and .js files. This fix worked initially, the first time I opened firefox, but hasn't worked subsequently.
Moreover, I'd rather not completely turn off the restore, if possible, because I may actually need to recover my data at some point.
I have three extensions on my browser: greasemonkey, tumblr savior and Adblock plus. I've had ABP on my browser since I bought my computer 2 years ago. Tumblr savior and greasemonkey I downloaded last night after this issue was already occuring.

Does it have any effect if you disable plugins as a test?

Did you try to quit the Firefox application with the tabs still open?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I suddenly can't get any of the websites I use each day on Firefox to load. I tried clearing the cache. No difference. How can i fix?

I use Firefox daily to access many sites. Yesterday it worked perfectly. Today it won't work at all. I just keep getting "Unable to Connect" message when I try to load the sites -- and sites work on other programs (though I need to use firefox to do certain things on some of them...) so it isn't an internet access problem. I've read the help articles and they don't help at all. I tried clearing the cache; it makes no difference. I tried checking that no proxy is highlighted under the advanced access settings. It is, and reviewing that makes no difference. I tried looking to see if Firefox is allowed to access the web thru my windows computer -- but I cant tell what program it would need to connect. And I haven't changed my settings since yesterday -- when it worked perfectly (or seemed to). So that shouldn't be the problem.
Ive wasted most of the morning fighting with this. What the hell is going on here and how can I fix it?

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions - firefox 23 was released yesterday: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Names are associated with email address in Mail but not in Contacts. How do I fix this?

When writing a new email if I begin typing someone's name, it automatically starts showing matching first and last names and email addresses. So if I start typing Bob it'll start showing matching contacts and have selected by default Bob Doe <[email protected]>.
This is great in Mail but in Contacts it doesn't work.
If I start searching for Bob, there are no results. Instead the only result there is the email address. So I have to know my contacts email addresses instead of their names when I'm dealing with Contacts.
Is there a way to sync Mail and Contacts or something so Contacts gets the associated names of the email addresses?
Thanks

The same thing is happening here since the 10.10.2 update but as yet I can't find a solution but I am hoping it's an Apple problem that will get sorted out.
Eventualy.

My Ipad shows the Itunes logo with connecter cord and arrow but wont turn on. How do I fix?

In need of some help, my Ipad turned off two days ago. I pushed the home button and the start to reset. Now it shows the Itunes logo with the connecter cord and an arrow. I plugged it into my PC, and there was an update for my Ipad. Waited the three hours for the update and disconnected hoping that everything was fixed. Would not turn on again so held the start/home and it still shows the Itunes logo, and when I plug it into my PC, Itunes will no longer open. I live three hours away from the nearest Apple store and would like to get it fixed at home if possible.

Did you expect iTunes to start automatically or did you start it yourself? Start iTunes and then connect the iPad.

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message and now if frozen?

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message. I clicked 'stop script' but now Firefox has frozen and is not responding to anything I do. I cannot click on anything. It will not let me close it down, uninstall it or shut down my computer.

Upgraded to FF 33 and installed English dictionary. Now FF is hanging frequently in www.morningstar.com and I believe elsewhere with the following:
Warning: Unresponsive Script
Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js.17006
I do NOT understand the "chrome" reference.
This is quite annoying. I upgraded to FF 33 in order to try to get back spell checking in Morningstar posts which I lost back at FF 24, as I recall, but it did NOT solve the problem. Now I have this mess.

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

Hello! You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum. This forum is for questions about using Apple's iPhoto.app on an iPhone or iPad. Do you have an iPhone or iPad that you're synchronizing pictures with your PC? If so, you should probably post your question in the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum. We can also ask the Hosts to move this topic into the correct forum if we know which hardware device you're using.

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

HT2589 What if I have an iPhone and its sends/recieves messages with our apple id which is my moms email? How do I fix that so that when I text my friends it doesn't show up with my moms email but my number?

Hi lfeddrix,
You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

I think your Voice mailbox goes by time, not # messages, so if one or two of the messages is longer, then it would be "full" faster.
Go to youmail.com and follow the directions to set up youmail.
Just curious - why do you need to save 20+ messages? Once I deal with them, I delete them.... and I rarely have more than one or two \saved messages....

I already reset network settings like someone suggested, but still cannot get my exchange acct to work.

I'm having the same problem but with high speed access.
Anyone know the answer?
