Firefox keeps closing the web site page I am typing on andkeeps going back to a new start page s back to start

While i am typing info on the keyboard e.g. on google maps or on my email page to send a message, firefox keeps jumping back to its start page and I have to start all over. What can I do to stop this from happening?

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there (probably Yahoo) and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

I am unable to download the Firefox program from the web site

Hi,
I have been trying to replace Firefox on my Laptop because it failed to open.
I removed the Firefox program and went to the Web site using Internet Explorer.
I clicked on the download bitton for Firefox; nothing happened. I clicked on the alternative and again nothing happened.
I can do without Firefox but it would be useful to have. Can you help?

Actually what you are describing is not a Firefox issue as you stated you had previously uninstalled it from your laptop. Internet Explorer 9 has a similar download section now modeled after Firefox, thus if you check your IE download folder you are likely to see the Firefox file in which you would need to proceed to click on to continue the install.

Is there any way to make Firefox 4 display the web sites originally pinned in each tab upon restart of Firefox instead of the last web site viewed before ending Firefox?

After pinning a particular web site in each tab that I want to use in Firefox 4, the tabs work as expected for the initial session. However, after ending and later restarting Firefox 4, each tab starts with whatever page was displayed upon the previous close of Firefox. Upon restarting, I would like for Firefox to display the original pinned web page. Any suggestions?

You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)

Firefox keeps opening the Add-ons page

Whenever I launch Firefox or open a new tab, the add-ons page opens. This has been happening since I updated to Firefox 4 a few days ago. I've tried disabling all the add-ons I have but it makes no difference. I've also turned off updates for add-ons, that didn't help either.
I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks.

It's possible that the page is included in the home page setting.
Have a look at the illustration here and compare it with your own configuration:

Firefox will load the web site but will not let you see the next page but I can on Internet Explorer

When I go to wth.org jobs on firefox the first page of jobs come up but there is still 5 more pages of jobs to see. when i click the next page firefox says the page cannot be displayed. I can go to Internet Explorer and look at all the pages. what is the problem please?

I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. 
The two images at the top are animated GIF images. 
What do you mean with: ''FireFox is automatically swapping toward other " http://www.free.fr" home page'' ?
Do you mean that Firefox goes by itself to the www.free.fr if you open the leschamoisvolants.free.fr site ?

Firefox 6.0.1 will not open .aspx files in a browser window. Safari does it fine. I am greatly disappointed in your lack of help for this problem. Your forum people keep blaming the web site yet Safari works fine.

I tried to read my electric bill and got a message to view in an application or download. I assigned Preview.app to view it and it wouldn't work. Safari opens the bill in Preview.app by default.

When i upgrade to the next version of firefox, all of the web sites i had pinned to firefox on the Windows 7 task bar disappear

I accept the offer to upgrade to the next version of Firefox

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Facebook has not been loading properly for me since Feb. 22/14. Can you please check what is wrong with Firefox. The web-site Facebook works fine on Safari.

I've had issues with Facebook not loading certain areas of the web-site correctly or fully since Feb. 22. When I first go onto Facebook I am on the home page "news feed". Thing is when I click on the tab at the bottom of the news feed that says "see more", nothing is happening. It refuses to open the feed up to older posts which friends or myself have posted. Only about 6 - 8 posts at the max show on that home feed. That's it.
My other issue, also in Facebook is when I go to access my "messages". First click on the tab "messages" brings up a white page. Then if I refresh the page to see if it will load, the messages page loads very weird. It shows the last message I may have replied to at the bottom of the screen, but over lapping on top of the list of previous messages to the left of the page. Plus the page appears extremely different than it should. Just like it's been re-formatted or whatever.
Since these 2 issues started on Saturday afternoon I've switched over to the Safari browser on my iMac. On that browser Facebook is performing properly, as it should be. It's not overlapping messages. Plus the home feed isn't refusing to extend for me so that I may view older stories or posts by friends. All appears fine while accessing Facebook on the Safari browser. Not so while on Firefox. I am running the most up to date version of Firefox. "27.0.1" Plus I have a habit to clear the browser's history daily & restarting the browser as well as my iMac. So I do not believe those are my problems. I feel there may be something you guys there at Firefox should look into on this.
Thank you for your time.

Trouble started with the .15 version of Firefox. Several newspaper web sites get locked up.

I noticed the trouble back in the ver .15 of Firefox or whatever came out before .16 version. I thought it might be bad OS so I removed Firefox and did a repair install of Windows XP sp3. Came up clean and I installed Forefox but still the same trouble. Does not happen on IE8. Several newspaper web sites never have the trouble but one of my local area ones always messes up Try it and click on In Print articles then try clicking on individual articles and go back and forth. Eventually you get a blank screen and complete lockups on the page. It appears to be caused by the redirects not being buffered. The link attempt shows with the rotating circle in the tab but nothing happens. The web site is http://www.concordmonitor.com/

This problem has been fixed. I rebooted my laptop after clearing my Firefox cache and deleting all cookies. Once my laptop was rebooted, I opened Firefox and now I can access the regular YouTube site, not the mobile site.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

When I start Firefox, no website will open. It states it is unavailable. Internet explorer works at the web sites. I have deleted and reloaded Mozilla and it did not help.

This started about 2 weeks ago. The Home page is Cox and it states initially the web site was under repair. Now whe Mozzilla is opened, a message comes up that the website is uavailable. Clicking on all of the bookmarks results in the same message. The message comes up instantly after the enter button is pushed.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I downloaded FF update twice but the web sites are not displayed despite my being on the page. Also rebooted.

The web pages (tried different web sites) are not being displayed but the line at the bottom of the screen indicates that I am indeed on the web site. Previously, before I downloaded the the nerw version of FF, displaying of the web pages seemed slow unless I ensured by cursor was "off" the space on the screen that shows the web page.
I have checked with another browser and the web sites I went to are working and are displayed in that browser.

Could be that you need to clear the cache.
''Ctrl+Shift+delete''
'''Deselect''' info you wish to keep (such as Active logins, site preferences, history, and session)
Try 4 hours, then today, then try everything.
Then try reloading the page(s).
May also try opening your command (run > cmd) prompt and type :
ipconfig /flushdns
ipgonfig /renew
leave space between command and parameter

Firefox opens and shows the web site but is shifted over to the left so only half is visible. IE8 is fine

Firefox opens and loads the web site, but it has a blank 3 inch border down the whole of the right hand side, Firefox is moved over to the left so that i can only see half of it. The red cross to close it down is still at the very top right hand corner!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Earlier this week.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: '''View > Zoom > Reset''' (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
See [[Text Zoom]] and [[Page Zoom]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.
