Firefox set up message appears each time i open firefox

Every time I open Firefox I get a message saying "You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 4.0.1exe which is a: binary file from: http://mozilla.cdn.leaseweb.com Would you like to save this file?"
I have tried saving it again, re-running the set up file, all to no avail I still get the message every time I open Firefox. How can I stop it?

Thanks Bill. After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday. I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
My problem was solved after the first step. THANK YOU. Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

I get a message asking me if I want to change my default search engine to Yahoo! Search each time I open Firefox. How do I disable this annoying message?

For the past few days, each time I open Firefox on my home computer, a popup message is briefly displayed: "Your browser's default search engine is not set to Yahoo! Search. Would you like to set it now? (Yes/No)". After perhaps 15 seconds at most, the popup disappears and my home page appears as normal. I have the Yahoo! Toolbar installed, and Yahoo! Search is the search engine there; however, the search box on the address bar (which allows me to select from several search engines) is normally set to Google. The search engine in the address bar hasn't actually been changed to Yahoo! Search without my consent yet -- I'm just annoyed at getting nagged to change search engines every time I open Firefox. How do I get the "nag" messages to shut up & leave me alone?
I would also note that this is only happening on my home computer (which runs Windows 7), not on my work computer (which runs Windows XP, and which I also normally use Firefox as my browser on, with the same Yahoo! Toolbar + Google search in the address bar setup).
I have run Threat Scans with Malwarebytes (paid version) and a Quick Scan with Avast! (free version), and neither has eliminated this "nag" message from Yahoo! Search.

How do I set the screen zoom, so that it doesnt change each time I open Firefox. Because I see the webpages in smaller print, and I want them larger , without having to re zoom each time I open Firefox.

I need to know how to set the zoom option under "View" Tab, shere I dont have to re zoom each time I open Firefox. I have a wide screen monitor and generally, when viewing webpages, the web content on any page is confined to center of the page, and I was wondering if there was anyway to permanently set the zoom preferences without having to change them each time i open a webpage.
IE 8 and 9 has a feature to set the magnification and i set mine to 150% which works perfectly for me. I wonder if Firefox has a similar feature.

Thanks a lot. I downloaded the Default FullZoom Level add-on. My problem is now a history. thanks a million

When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

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 and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= 
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. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

My yahoo toolbar add in disappears each time I open firefox, requiring me to install the tool bar with each session. Would you know what might be causing this?

I have always used the yahoo toolbar to store my bookmarks. I recently had my computer serviced for an network problem I was experiencing, and since its return to to I have found that I must install the yahoo toolbar each time I open firefox. The toolbar does not stay for subsequent sessions like it had in the past. Is there a setting or problem that may be causing this?

I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

# Question
I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

Is this the Firefox branded Google page? If it is, Firefox can store multiple home pages and you may have 2 home pages set. Follow the instructions to set a single home page in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If it is the Firefox has just updated page that keeps on appearing, there may be a different problem, for details on fixing that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

Can I save my "app tabs", so they load each time I open firefox?

When i create app tabs, I want them to save and load each time I open firefox.

Yes. The apps are still not saved between sessions. I am on FF4 RC and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Every time I click the Firefox icon a panel says it is already in use and to clear it I need to re-boot, after re-booting the same message appears each time

I cannot get into Mozilla as the panel appears each time to say it is running

Must be the "hang at exit" problem.

Since upgrade to fireox 25 each time I open firefox a see briefly the following message "Reverted Change.....on general useragent override." what does this mean

Hi all, since upgrading to Firefox 25 each time I boot Firefox I see briefly the following in a small window whilst it is opening. "Reverted change ..... on general useragent override." What does this mean and if it is a problem how is it rectified? I see the same message on Windows 7 64 bit and 2 LInux Distros.
Thanks for any explanation.

This message is probably coming from the User Agent Switcher extension that detects that you have a user agent override active as you can see in the System Details List.
*general.useragent.override: Mozilla/5.0 (masking-agent; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0

I have a new macbook pro and just installed latest firefox. The problems is i can't seem to disable the tabs from appearing each time i restart firefox. I did uncheck every box in the peferences tab menu, still can't stop the tabs from appearing.

New Macbook pro with lion
Firefox 10.0

Hi dcast01,
Are you saying that it restores your old tabs when you restart? Have you looked at ''Preferences > General'' to see if Firefox is set to restore your tabs from the last session? You should change it to ''When Firefox Starts: Show my home page''.
Or is your issue that you keep seeing the tab that says "welcome to firefox" when you start the browser? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Message displayed each time I open a report (IE10)

Hello,
Each time I open an Analysis for OLAP, I face the message Critical rendering error.
It appears since we desployed the 10th version of internet explorer.
Exact version of IE is 10.0.14.
Our BO platform is BO 4.1 SP2 patch 4 (very recent version).
Do you know how to solve this issue ?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Bertrand

Hi Bertrand Demeyre
As of my understanding, IE 10 is not supported for Analysis edition for OLAP (and the same has been documented in the support document).Probably, it might come as an additional enhancement in future service packs.
I am not sure if we have a solution to suppress the error message.
An work around would be to push down to IE9 instead of IE10 (if possible).

"Well this is embarrassing........." message EVERY SINGLE time I open Firefox

I am now getting the 'well this is embarrassing...' message EVERY time I open Firefox; I have my Home page set to always open 9 tabs - these are the SAME tabs I have opened at start-up for about 2 years - WHY this annoying message now?! When I click 'close' the Home page opens with all the tabs with no problem, but the message is really irritating & doesn't seem to be telling me anything, as there isn't a problem with any of the tabs? NB: In case you ask 'why 9 tabs'?; these are essential websites I use every time I am browsing/working; I cannot keep opening them manually every time. Please advise why this message comes up as here seems to be no problem, & how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

Thanks for the workaround. However what's missing here is some acknowledgement of a new problem? This error message on start-up is affecting every laptop and Mac in our house. It wasn't happening before the last upgrade so what's been broken and what else is damaged? Firefox has been running so clunky and slow of late that I'm considering abandoning it until I read things have been fixed.

Using xp#8 EACH time I open Firefox 13.0.1 it runs a compatibility ad-on check AND opens the "what's new?" page

my settings, show my home page, tried the other open blank page
home page is about:blank

See these articles for some suggestions:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

Each time I open Firefox, a previously visted website is open at the left side behind the home page, so the my home page is only partly filling the screen.

The "Sam's Club" website with my user ID and "remember me" box checked is the one that opens behind my homepage. This happens every time I open Firefox, but did not happen before I set up the Sam's Club sign in page.

Could you check whether you have dual homepages?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
If you see more than one URL in the Home Page box, delete the extra one and the vertical bar that separates them.
More info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?
Edit: if the page appears in the sidebar, which also can be used to display bookmarks (Ctrl+b) or history (Ctrl+h), then it probably is caused by something other than your home page setting.
