Firefox opens several tabs on startup. These have always displayed the name of the site in the past. But now they just say "Connecting" with a spinning circle... forever. Hard to find the tab I want-

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.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Firefox opens new window on taskbar when using yahoo as the browser

when i use yahoo as the browser, a new window opens on the taskbar when web results are listed. also if I open yahoo mail a new window opens when i read messages. this things only happen when using yahoo. only sites such as google dont have this issue.

Hello Frank.
First of all, take a look at this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser It will help you understand what the browser really is.
Now, as for your issue, if I understand it correctly, the only way to prevent this from happening (that I know of) is to go into Tools > Options > Tabs and select "Open links that open in a new window in:" as "New Tab".
Of course, you can always drag and drop tabs from window to window, no problem.

Is there a way for people to sign into a forum with the same email they used elsewhere on the site?

Right now, our site has to have a separate login for the forum that was built using the forum module. This poses a problem since users who sign up through other web forms that do not have username or password fields may try to sign in to the forum and then try to reset a password that does not exist. It also poses a problem in that people who are already in the CRM because they signed up using other web forms cannot use the same email address they used to sign up to register for the forum.
We have also had the same problem with secure zones in that people who have already gone through a web form and have their name and email address in the CRM have issues signing in to the secure zone.
So, I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this so that people can sign up using the same email address.
Thank you for your assistance!

lost mode don't depend of the sim card. If you take your Iphone on Lost mode... anybody can use it with the original card sim or with an other one.
Did you try to localise it ?
But hope that thief don't make a restore of the Iphone... Call your Mobile Operator to try to block the IMEI Number.

Firefox opens websites, but I cannot perform some functions inside the sites (such as Amtrak scheduling, airline flight scheduling, ebay ask a question of seller, make Best Offer, etc..).

Not sure that this is a Firefox problem, but I noticed this after I updated to the 36 Version. I also have IE on my computer, only use it to access websites if I am having problems with connecting (to verify if the problem is Firefox or my Charter connection)... I now am unable to access IE. I have Windows XP.

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly or is misconfigured.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem.

Is it possible to open several tabs at once (with certain websites on the tabs) by just using one icon?

I'd like to make several groups of website tabs that would each open up by double clicking on a single shortcut.
For example: when I am going to do my online banking I would like to open a single shortcut, and then that would open all of my banking websites, each on a different tab.

Do you mean starting via a desktop shortcut?
You can add all URLs to the command line separated by a space. 
If the list gets too long then you need to use a firefox.cmd file to start Firefox with all the websites.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

How do i stop it automatically switching to new tab, the setting is not ticked in options. This is annoying when opening several tabs.

Although I do not have 'switch to new tab immmediately' ticked, when I ask to open in new tab it switches immediately. This is a problem as I open several tabs from my main page and don't want to go to them at once, I'll look at them in order as I need them. Since an update I now have it switching to the opened tab, and I have to keep flicking back to the main tab. It's giving me repetitive strain problems having to keep clicking the mouse more than necessary. It's an option in the settings, I'd like it to rmain that way. I seriously don't want to keep having to go back to my main page every time I want to open a new tab. Could you make it as it was before please, it was super then. Many thanks in advance. :-)

Firefox open spam tabs

Firefox opens new tabs with sponsored ads,
I have scanned my computer with virus scanning software and different software cited https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/697011?esab=a&as=aaq but find nothing.
Then I did the same navigation with Chrome and Opera, but no tab ad has been opened.
Finally I disabled the plugins one by one and I realized that with firebug disabled no longer the spam, it seems to open up once they parse the page when the keywords are found relevant.
Uninstall firefox and reinstall it does not eliminate the problem, there are probably other folders to be deleted that I do not know.
For more complete the tabs opened are only in Italian language, should not be a widespread problem, but most likely there is a leak in firebug extension.
Also for completeness, I report the id parameter represented in get parameter in the url of some sponsored ads. zanox1170335.
I dont know if the problem is really for firebug plugin, but i had only disabled this plugin and if some file can be usefull to you for analize it, i can give you.

I'd like to know whether the news tabs are generated from inside Firefox or by an external program. To make sure links open differently, you could adjust the following settings.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.open''' and pause while the list is filtered. These should appear. What values do you have?
(A) '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*) 
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*) 
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
(B) '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
0 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows 
2 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows ''except'' script windows with features (default) 
1 = open_newwindow preference ignored completely (same effect as open_newwindow=2)
''By default, popups that specify a particular window size or turn off certain window features will appear in a new window. If you set this preference to 0 then all popups are forced to a new tab.''
(C) '''browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external'''
-1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (default) 
3 = open external links in a new tab 
2 = open external links in a new window 
1 = open external links in active tab
''On this third one, try choosing 2 to force externally launched pages into a new window instead of a new tab in an existing window.''

Reopening Closed Tabs Opens Several Tabs

When I choose a tab in my closed tbs list, FF opens several tabs in addition to the one I selected.
Many times it also opens a blank "new tab" as well.
Also, reopened tabs do not automatically load. I have to manually tell each page to reload for them to bring up the webpage.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Firefox 4 has a pref browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs to limit the number of pages that open at the same time.
