Firefox opens two windows when I open the browser

When I open the browser it always opens two home page web pages
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed win 7 ultimate

I had the same problem.
Solved it by starting Thunderbird in a safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode), closed it and started normally...
Thunderbird showed 1 window afterward... I did play around before that with disabling/enabling extensions but at the end the safe mode helped... Hopefully this helps someone :)

  • Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

    After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How can I keep a cookie for a certain site when I have set Firefox to delete cookies when I close the browser?

    I have set Firefox to delete all cookies when I close the browser. Some websites identify my computer with a cookie, so when I try to log in to these sites, they don't recognize my computer because the identifying cookie has been deleted. I understand that Internet Explorer has a feature that preserves specified cookies, but haven't been able to find that capability in Firefox. Is there a way to do it?

    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
    Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
    You can inspect and modify the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" (Site Preferences includes the cookie exceptions)

  • Firefox closes existing window when you open and close a new window

    When I'm using firefox and need to open a new window (or a website opens a new window) and I'm done with that new window and close it, Firefox attempts to also close the previous window that I am using. I've tried reinstalling, but other than that I don't know what to do. What usually happens when I close the window is that I have multiple tabs open in the other one and it asks me if I would like to close all my tabs. When I hit cancel, it asks me again. Once I hit cancel the second time it stops bothering me.

    I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

  • Safari opens multiple windows when I open it

    When I open safari it opens multiple windows (260 to be exact) all of the same website and causing a temporary freeze of my computer. Then safari crashes and I have to force quit. Any suggestions? I have already unchecked restore windows in my system preferences.
    Thanks

    Try to reset safari via the safari menu .. Also if you can quit safari from the safari menu holding down the option key and pick quit and close all windows it might resolve your issue.

  • I have downloaded the latest stable release a few times now and Firefox code variants, all when I close the browser it's process is running indefinitely. Help?

    I have downloaded the latest stable release of Firefox and a couple of variants using Firefox code a number of times, the browser crashes totally on certain pages mostly on the yahoo home page.
    The main issue is when I manage to avoid the troublesome pages and close down the browser using the red, top right hand corner "X" the browser process is still running and runs indefinitely, this stops the user from reopening the browser unless they manually stop the process through a process manager (task manager). Please help as I "loved" using Firefox.
    Thanks,
    Karl

  • In Firefox 4, it keeps wanting to open two pages when I open the browser, the home page AND the last page visited in a separate tab. How can I get it to stop doing this?

    At 1st I thought this was because I'd forgotten to properly close my last session, but then I realized that it happens every time.

  • When I click a link in Mail (Mac OS) Firefox opens two windows. The frontmost window is always blank. The other window shows the page to which the link pointed. I would like to avoid having two windows open.

    Links from Mail open two windows. One is empty.

    Every time Firefox opened
    == In the past couple of weeks. I had not noticed this behavior previously

  • When link in email is clicked, firefox opens two windows.

    I have XP Sp3 and firefox 9.0.1. I use outlook 2003 for email. "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked. When I click on a link in email, firefox opens two windows. The first opened shows the link and the second opened shows a blank "new tab". Clicking the link again causes the second window to open a second tab displaying the link. The first window stays the same.

  • Messages opens multiple windows when selecting it from notifications

    I notice that when I click on a new arrival message (iMessage) from notifications popup it will open 4 seperate windows and I can't reply until I close out 3 of the windows. Anyone else seeing this?

    Hi,
    So you have Messages App open.
    However you have also closed (used the red Blob) the main Messages window so that you cannot see any current conversation.
    You have the Notification Centre set to Notify on Messages and it does so for incoming iMessages.
    At this point you say it opens 4 windows when you click the Notification.
    Can you tell what what 4 windows ?
    It should only be the Messages main window (Chat window/Interface)
    I tried to test this using one of my own iPhones
    I picked the one with the same Apple ID and it turned up like synce (no Notification, no sound alert)
    I changed iPhone to one that does not use the same Apple ID
    I got Notifications and sound but clicking the Notification does not open the main Messages window (I did still have my Buddy Lists on view).

  • I am unable to open another Firefox4 window when I have the Error Console open and I can't open the Error Console when I have two Firefox4 windows open. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am trying to debug the jQuery to a micro site I've created and I am unable to open the Error Console when I have two Firefox windows open and I am unable to open a second Firefox window when I have the Error Console open.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

    If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
    If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

  • Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

    Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help
