Firefox resets proxy to 127.0.0.1 port 60323 on WinXP every time

Hi,
Every time I close FF and reopen it, it resets proxy to 127.0.0.1:60323. Regardless of how many times I reset it manually, it always reverts back.
I am using FF 9.0.1. Win XP SP 3

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs?

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs? I've created a separate ID to use with the 3gs already.
Help...
Thanks!

It has nothing to do with "getting near: the other iPhone.
They are using the same AppleID for iCloud.
On the 3GS, Setttings > icCloud, delete the iCloud account and turn it on using the new AppleID.
Whatever I have changed on my 4S...notes, apps..etc.
Settings > iTunes & App stores.
Tap your ApleID, sign out then sign in with new AppleID.

I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.

Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

Any way to PERMANENTLY zoom Firefox a certain amount, rather than having to re-zoom-in again every time for every new webpage?

I had this issue. I went to c:\program files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
I renamed my plugins folder to plugins.old.
It recreated the Plugins folder and all was good again. I have since reinstalled the plugins I've been prompted to install.

How do I add Firefox to my docking station so I don't have to open every time I click on the icon?

Firefox 3.6 was on my docking station on my mac all this time. When I saw the pop up for Firefox 4 and its features, I downloaded v.4 this morning but when I try to open the browser, I always have to go through the same step of "opening" the newer version rather having the browser open automatically.

Hi JoAnn,
After you opened the download, you should see a small window with a blue background showing a Firefox 4 icon and an "Applications" icon.
Quit out of all versions of Firefox, then find that window and drag the Firefox icon into the Applications icon. (This moves the new version into your Applications folder).
Once that's done, then clicking the icon on your Dock should launch the new version from the Applications folder.
Hope that helps,

How do I make firefox to go to a specfic web page (ie google home page) every time I open a new tab?

Every time I open a new tab, I want firefox to go to Google's home page http://www.google.com/. Right now when I open a new tab, the tab is blank. Therefore, I have to click on the home icon on the upper right corner - the icon with the little house. How do make firefox go to Google's Home Page every time a open a new tab?

Dear SafeBrowser, It is an eye catching feature of this addon that can be found easily. the image can explain it though

Firefox repeatedly asks to use 3 specific fonts on my backup drive every time I start up Firefox even if I tell it not to ask me again.

I am using Firefox 3.6.10 on a iMac with a LaCie backup drive attached. Every time I launch Firefox, it asks me in 3 seperate pop-up boxes if it can use the following fonts on the backup drive.(Quick Type Mono, SvttTwo ITC TT, and SvtyTwo OS ITC). It claims they are not installed on the backup drive. Every time, I check the box "Don't ask me again" after allowing it to use those fonts but I still get the 3 pop-up windows upon a new launch of Firefox. I will also add that I clone my iMac hard drive to the backup drive so the backup drive should have everything the actual hard drive has including fonts. This is very frustrating so hope someone can help. Thanks!

Firefox 8.0 opens with page size I have to zoom x4 - every time.

Every time I open Firefox or Gmail, the page is way too small. I have to hit Control+ four times for it to go back to the size it was before I upgraded to 8.0. This happens EVERY time on opening.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Why, when after upgrading Firefox my Yahoo bookmarks won't work? It happens pretty much every time there is an upgrade and it is frustrating as hell!!!

All of the bookmarks are there if I go to bookmarks in the toolbar and click on "go to bookmarks" they are all there. Usually it is a list of folders when you click on the icon and so far refreshing the toolbar or bookmarks hasn't helped. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the toolbar so far same thing. They work fine in IE but that piece of crap keeps randomly stops working and that is why I have been using Firefox 95% of the time for my home computing.

This is not a Firefox issue, you could try downgrading to version 18 or 17 but Yahoo needs to update their toolbar and they haven't been doing anything to solve issues regarding them except by laying the blame on us.

Firefox will not exit completly, have to close it with Task Manager every time. Why?

It is as if something is still running within it wanting to connect, I have ran virus and spyware scans on my laptop and nothing has came up, but it behaves like spyware. I have seen that 15 others share a similar problem, I hope that Firefox will fix this issue in the next release.

I was infected by a virus and this changed proxy config to 127.0.0.1:64727, i removed the virus, but every time i start firefox i find the proxy configuration made by the virus.is there any config file i can change ?

I was infected by a virus (i can't remember the virus name). Antivirus removed it, but i think it changed some config file on FF, 'cause every time i try to restart it , i find it configured to use proxy 127.0.0.1:64727. I change every time the config, i also tried to change the config on the about:config and set network.proxy.type 5 , no port and no network proxy (so it's all on default) . I changed the config on the gui, i removed the config from windows registry ( IE and chrome start normally, with no proxy), but every time i restart FF i find the proxy config there. How can i fix it ?

I had the same problem.
Solution
'''Clear Virus First'''
-clear virus using either anti-virus or manually going into task manager and figuring out which processes are bad.
-If the manual way, go through each process in task manager and right click to "open file location". Depending on where it is located and the name of the process, you can google the process name online to see if it is bad.
-Delete the bad process file and as added security, create a folder using the name of the process so the file can't be recreated later. (example: If I had a virus "3dcr.exe" in folder c:\user, then delete "3dcr.exe" and create a new folder c:\user\3dcr.exe\ )
'''Fix Proxy Settings'''
-If your browser points an proxy server and you can't change the settings because every restart of firefox returns the settings back (even after changing in about:config or prefs.js or options>advanced>network>settings). The answer is to uninstall firefox with all its user preferences and the reinstall it.
*I know it is a bit brute force, but it was the only method I found to work. Just be sure to save your bookmarks first.

Firefox beta 18 "not responding" every time I load a page. This didn't occur as much with FF3.5.4.

I have tried various upgrades/updates of Firefox (4 and above). I currently have Firebox beta 18. EVERY TIME I load a page, the browser will always hang and I get "Not Responding" in the status bar. The hang time is usually more than a few minutes or I'd have to end the program through the task manager. Sometimes after the freeze, I'll get a "warning: script was unresponsive" popup and then it will freeze again (I can't even press 'stop script' or 'continue') because the popup is "not responding".
I don't seem to have this problem with FF3.5.4 (only this version has deemed compatible) however I can't view flash plugins/media or certain features of a webpage because it's not updated. Therefore I would not like to downgrade back to 3.5.4 because there's no point if I can't view half the things on a page..

If you've updated from a version as ancient as 3.5.4, then you run the risk of encountering problems. You should start with a fresh profile to ensure old preferences, data files and changes made by extensions are not interfering.
First, create a backup copy of your profile folder, just to be safe.
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
Then use the Reset Firefox feature.
* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
If the problem persists, see the following article.
* [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
Do not reinstall old versions of Firefox. They contain security vulnerabilities and shouldn't be used. Very old versions might also be unable to handle data files in your profile folder in their new formats, which can lead to all sorts of problems. And lastly, many websites require a modern browser to work properly.
