Firefox not displaying open tabs

Windows 7
Upgraded from ff24 to 25
When I start FF it opens in a tiny window, the new tab buttons don't work and it gives no response to CTRL-T
However, try to close FF and it asks you if you are sure you want to close X tabs? and using CTRL-TAB will cycle through the new tabs.
The ui only shows one tab and it is blank (new tab)
This issue persists between re installs and clearing the profile info in appdata

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Firefox sometimes does not display my tabs along the menu bar when two or less are open - is this a bug?

When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.

Hi,
You can try to '''Reset toolbars and controls:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] start screen.
If the problem persists, please try a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s new profile]. You can later copy [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s needed data] from the old profile to this.

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is selected

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is not selected. The irritating thing is that Firefox used to display pages until FF 31. Please fix this
Thanks
Randy

The missing icons are supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
You will have to make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts to see such an icon font.

ICloud tab not showing open tabs

When I click iCloud tab in safari, it does not show open tabs on browser on pc. My pc browser is IE

Hello vera75,
Take a look at the requirements for icloud tabs outlined here iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5372.
System requirements for using iCloud Tabs
Make sure that:
Your Macs have OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6 installed
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has iOS 6 installed
Keep in mind that while iCloud Tabs is only available for Macs with OS X Mountain Lion installed, and devices with iOS 6, you can still use normal iCloud Bookmarks to sync saved Bookmarks and Reading List content between any devices that meet the iCloud system requirements.
All the best,
Sterling

Firefox keeps changing open tabs to new windows - how do I stop this?

Firefox keeps changing open tabs to new windows - how do I stop this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Firefox is not saving open tabs when closing, it says other session of Firefox is running but this is not the case.

Firefox used to save open tabs when closing the browser. This no longer happens and Firefox says other session running. Task Manager shows that this is not the case.
Recently installed an flv/mpeg viewer "aLot" which placed a toolbar in Firefox.
Am running Firefox 3.0.5 on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

Your useragent says your are running Firefox 3.6.13 -> is that true.
If not, do the following and post back your new Firefox version:
* Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
* If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Filter = general.useragent.
* Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
* Then restart Firefox

Firefox not displaying corectly in remote desktop

This issue has existed with firefox for as long as I can remember. If I start up firefox on any computer then log into that computer from another using remote desktop the firefox window displays as nothing by a big black box. There are not controls, menus, or even an x to close it. It can be closed by right clicking on the taskbar and choosing close window. Now if I start firefox while logged in from remote desktop it works just fine. Even if I disconnect and reconnect it will still display correctly. The problem only occurs if firefox is launched from the computer then I remote in. The open webpages, tabs, ect do not matter as I can restore the previous session just fine. Some of the computer have no addons installed so that rules those out as a possible cause.
Is there any solution to this? It's usually not a big deal as it usually only involves one computer but occasionally like today I had to reboot every system on my network and load up firefox to do some stuff then remote into those systems just now only to have to restart firefox on every one.

hello FUBAR-BDHR, that may well be an issue with hardware acceleration - please try to disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect) & see if the situation changes...

When trying to download a simple Adobe file, Firefox continues to open tab after tab after tab after tab, etc.

Any Adobe file that I want to download causes Firefox to open multiple tabs in rapid succession. I can not stop the multiple tabs from opening except by CTRL-ALT-DEL to then manually close Firefox. Even then Firefox immediately re-opens on its own and continues the multiple tabs until I shut the PC down.

What do you have set for the '''Action''' for those Adobe file types?

Can't be Firefox or you'll have the problem you describe.

Firefox not displaying web page icons properly unless in safe-mode

Hi. We are developing a website at the moment and unless I have FF in safe-mode some of the icons do not display properly. All other browsers work fine and it used to display in FF with no issues. The website is www.livingonmars.com and the icons are the 2 arrows in the top right hand corner of the slideshow. When in safe-mode I see both of the arrows. When started in normal mode I see the bottom half of the left arrow and the top half of the right arrow.

In safe mode, hardware acceleration and add-ons are disabled. You may want to try to disable you add-ons one by one to see if that helps or you can disable hardware acceleration by performing the below:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Firefox not displaying current page URL in address book.

Firefox is now showing the URL data for the most recently opened tab in every address bar rather than the actual data for the page opened within that tab. For example, tab 1 is opened to wsj.com and tab two is the opened for foxnews.com, suddenly the address bar for tab 1 is now showing foxnews.com in the address bar AND it is now impossible to go 'back' because the back button is greyed out. Additionally, if a link is clicked from within the current tab, the URL in the address bar does not change but remains 'fixed' on the address opened in the most recently opened tab.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 20 June 2010

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How can i get firefox not to open up when i click on a WMV?

i downloaded windows media player 11 and now when trying to watch a WMV saved in my documents instead of my media player opening up i go into firefox and multiple tabs open up very fast instead of my media player opening? i can watch other types of videos like MPEG and firefox doesn't open! but when tying to watch a WMV i just get firefox?

What I'd like to be able to do is:
Use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" ("Don't load tabs until selected" checked). If I close and open Firefox all my tabs are there. Once in a wile I know that I had, lets say, 20 tabs open when Firefox was closed BUT I want to open it without all those tabs... just home page or blank page. I was wandering if there a key I could press during start up to prevent Firefox from opening all saved tabs (like "shift" for Safe mode).

Firefox not displaying fonts and sizes properly

In firefox the fonts are not displaying properly they are either bold or small and bold some text is displayed normally but most is not most is either really small or bold. This is also the case for IE, im on windows 7 running latest versions. However Chrome, Opera and Safari all display correct fonts and sizes it is just firefox and IE that are affected. And yes everything from font size to page size is at default so please dont reply with zoom in and out thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply. Not sure which one of these worked nothing changed until I restarted firefox.
You can try different default fonts.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.
Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
But it is back to how it was thank you very much!

Firefox won't open tabs.

So, the other day I was browsing the web via firefox, and if I pressed enter or go, It wouldn't go to the website. No errors, it just simply wouldn't respond. So I reinstalled firefox, and problem solved!
...The only problem NOW is that I can't open tabs in firefox. If I click the + button beside my tab, it won't work. Same with right click, new tab and CTRL+T. However, if I click on a link, it WILL open a new tab. This is obnoxious. Please help.

Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension. Something is broken in that extension in 3.6.13.

How can I make Firefox not-display images?

About 20 years ago I could configure Mosaic to not-display images. I browse with lynx usually now, but have to use something else when I need Javascript. Sometimes I want to not-display images. I can't find a setting in Firefox for this.

Note that you can control this via the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config
The default is 1 to allow all images, a value of 2 will block images.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/permissions.default.image
**1: Allow all images to load, regardless of origin. (Default)
**2: Block all images from loading.
**3: Prevent third-party images from loading.
