Firefox update now browser opens pages I don't adk for

Today my desktop update to Firefox 37.0.2. Since this happened each time I look pages up on the Internet they start to open but then automatically change to other pages such as gambling or other random stuff that I wasn't looking for. When I go to close a box pops up asking if I want to leave the page because data I have entered has not been saved (note I haven't actually entered any data). My firewall is on and all security settings appear to be normal.

You may find the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint No-Squint] add-on useful. NoSquint allows you to adjust the text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels as well as color settings both globally (for all sites) and per site.
Let us know if it helped.

Firefox pops up with "alot" page and I have asked for it to be gone ( don't want to use it at all and it is invasive), how do I do so?

The update keeps putting "alot" at the forefront and asking me if I want it. Every time I say no and it comes back. Every time I open the browser I have to close this new window and it is getting to the point where i do not want to use Firefox as my browser anymore.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

After Firefox update, my gmails open up in separate instances of minimized Firefox windows. Any suggestions?

After an automatic Firefox update, my gmails started to open up in separate instances of minimized Firefox windows. The former way was that any email I clicked on would open full screen in the same instance of Firefox and in the same maximized window. Any suggestions on how to get back to the former way?

First, try to update to the recently released Firefox 15, see if that resolves your issue. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].
If it doesn't, try to Reset Firefox.
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.

Firefox 18 now prints a page using enlarged fonts so that information will not fit on A4 page. How can this be fixed?

When trying to print a page such as a bank statement, Firefox 18 now prints in a large font size so that information does not fit on the page (A4). Previously, there was no problem and the information printed out exactly as on the screen. When printing from Google Chrome there is no problem. In previous versions of Firefox there was no problem. What has changed and how can it be corrected?

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Printing+a+web+page
Try to adjust the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (unselect: "Shrink to fit page width")

My mac updated, now top site page has changed and is in edit mode constantly-help?

When I restarted my mac after a scheduled update, the top site page still had all my saved sites on it but it was much bigger and the style and background have all changed.

Cannot open Pages or Numbers on Megapack for iWork , Cannot open Pages or Numbers on Megapack for iWork

I purchased the Megapack for iWork & Office two days ago and cannot open Pages or numbers. I've been on to Apple support for 3 days now. They have told me to delete app and re-download it. Having done that, problem persists. I've also been told to contact Nick Maskill, the app developer, but the link they gave me to do this http://keytemplates.miniurl.org comes up blank.
This is driving me nuts........has anyone else had the same problem? Have you been able to contact the app. developer?
Your help with this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead

I am having the exact same issue as you. I purchased and downloaded SpreadsheetPro and all that shows is a blank black screen. On the advice of ITunes, I deleted and downloaded again. Same issue exists. I have tried to contact Nick Maskill to no avail.
Interestingly it showed up in my Evernote App as a zipfile. Still could not open.
Have you had any resolution at all? I am at a loss and feel ripped off for $30

Since my Firefox update this week, Thurdasday, it has crashed 10 times for no reason. What's up

Since the Firefox update was sent out this week. I keep having unexpected crashes. There does not seem to be a pattern. It does send you reports. But just this morning it has crashed twice. Yesterday it crashed three times and the day before two. I switched to using Chrome and have not had an issue.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Since the recent Firefox update, our customers can no longer place items selected for purchase into the shopping cart; what is the cause and the fix?

Since Firefox was recently updated, customers who use Firefox as their browser can no longer place items selected at our e-commerce site into their shopping cart. We are not experiencing this problem with customers who use IE as their browser.

I created a brand new blank Captivate 6 file, applied a theme, inserted a few new slides and tried Preview. It worked! All four of the Captivate files I used in my previous testing were based on one file which hadn't been touched for two weeks. Somehow while working in the lastest file, either removing unused items from the Library or killing errors while Publishing, something somewhere got corrupted or removed. Something that all four files must have pointed to, since as soon as the latest file broke, all of the other files stopped working as well. Since the original file was inherited, I'm not even sure how to go about finding the problem. In my case, it won't be too big of a deal. I will create a clean template file and rebuild.
Thanks for your help!

Nov 6 - Firefox updated when I opened my browser - bookmarks are now *bigger*, my list of bookmarks is more spread out. Hate it. Help.

I have my bookmarks toolbar open at all times to the left of my browser window. After this morning's updates, the bookmark icons seem bigger, the list is more spread out. Now bookmarks that were visible 'before', I have to scroll to see, because they're more spread out and take up more space.
Do not like. Any way to reset them so they're small again? To 'compact' the list, as it were?
Thanks!

Hmm... thanks for the feedback. It sounds like something is wrong. I don't think there were any changes to the bookmarks sidebar in the v25 update.
Could you open Firefox in Safe Mode to check if the font size is still wrong?
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem does not appear in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions in the article to identify the setting or Add-on that is causing the issue.
If the problem does appear in Safe Mode then I suggest that you do a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your history and bookmarks will be saved but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.

Let me know if that fixes it.

Firefox updated now my browser service email does not open completely when I tried its suggestion could not change the default? Any ideas to help me?

I can not get my browser email to open up. It is through mediacom and they say they do not support firefox yet it always worked till today after I cleared all my history earlier today. I have tried to do the steps it says but no way to add my correct mail server name in. I am not really all that good on hte computer on some things and this is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

When you cleared your history, did you select Cookies and/or Active Logins and clear those? That could explain why you are not automatically logged in.
I have not used the Zimbra mail server. However, generally speaking, when you are using webmail, you usually do not need to enter a mail server name. Usually you just have to login.
Where does the site stop working for you. Can you log in and get to the next page, or does it require you to keep trying to log in? Can you view the Inbox? Can you open individual messages? Et cetera.

Firefox updated and my new page tiles are now gone how do I get them back?

I update Firefox, and in the process Norton became my automatic search engine and new page. I have tried everything but have not be able to revert back to the new page tiles. Can you help me resolve this problem? I have attached a photo of what my new page looks like.

This is likely because norton automatically changed your new tab page in an update to its software. To change this, do the following:
1. Open a new tab, and go to about:config
2. In the search box, type in "browser.newtab.url"
3. Double-click on the entry that appears, and in the text box that appears enter "about:newtab", and then click okay.

Since installing a firefox update, my browser no longer opens with 9 most visited, by google toolbar

opening my browser, I got, until yesterday, 9 screen shots showing my most visited websites. This service is provided by google toolbar. OPTIONS are set up to show this, but all i can get is a blank page or google search page.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
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

How do I return functionality of my bookmarks menu before Firefox update 23.0.1? I don't LIKE internet explorer, now my firefox is acting like IE; gee thanks.

How can I restore the functionality of the Bookmarks shortcut. I DO NOT LIKE internet explorer, it is cumbersome and slow. How can I modify the bookmarks shortcut to act like a menu again? I do not like the bookmarks and history pop-out... Firefox was above the bar, now I have 2 copies of internet explorer on my computer, one with an icon that looks like an E and one that looks like my old firefox browser.... This was a result of the update 23.0.1 this morning, it was perfect when I went to bed last night.... Maybe I should use Chrome?

does it work as expected when you launch firefox in safe mode once (to rule out the interfering of any addons)?
