Firefox will not open until Windows Firewall has opened at startup. A slow process and slows Firefox in Starting. Can this be corrected?

Since installing Firefox the start up time for the computer has greatly increased as Windows Firewall has to be started before Firefox can open. Very annoying and can this problem be corrected?

Firefox does this for security purposes. I do not recommend attempting to "fix" this.
To boost starting time, you can try a Firefox preloading software.

  • Firefox will not remember last window size

    I am using Firefox 32.0.2 on a Windows 7 computer.
    Starting yesterday when a new window opens it will not remember the window size. It always opens to a small window that takes up about 1/4 of the screen. It should remember the last window size used and open new windows to that size.
    I have not changed anything on the computer since it last worked that I am aware of (it is a work computer so IT could have done something).
    I have already done a reset and deleted and recreated localstore.rdf.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You may have a corrupt '''localstore.rdf''' file.

  • Firefox will not recognize java plugin that has been installed and worked 1 day ago.

    I have an IMac with OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 5.0, One day ago it worked fine, today when going to a specific site that requires Java, Firefox will not recognize that Java is installed. I checked for updates and there are none. Java is installed and the site works fine with Safari, which requires Java as well. How can i get Firefox to recognize Java installation.

    Apple has removed support for the Java Plugin2 with the latest Java Update 10 for OS X 10.5 Java version, so the Java plugin is no longer available for Firefox versions and other browsers like Google Chrome that require the Java Plugin2.
    The Java Plugin2 plugin is still there, but he softlink to it has been removed with this update, so Firefox doesn't find the plugin.
    There will be fix for this in the next release (Firefox 5.0.1 or 6), so that Firefox will find the plugin again.
    I don't know if all Java applets will still be working on OS X 10.5 with that JP2 plugin (Apple recommends updating to OS X 10.6 for OS X 10.5 users with an Intel Mac).

  • Firefox will not respond after restarting my computer after making changes in the cookies and history settings

    I make some changes with cookies and cleared my history for today...and then restarted my computer...now firefox will not open...will not respond...should I uninstall firefox and then reinstall it?
    If I uninstall firefox will the changes I made with the cookies and my history be reversed?
    If I were to uninstall and then reinstall firefox will I loose my bookmarks if I do this? or does firefox remember them...so when I reinstall the previous bookmarks are reinstalled too?

    Does Firefox starts up when you first open it after rebooting the computer but hangs the next time you try to start it? If so, then there's a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005487 bug] in Firefox 29 where Firefox hangs on exit when the setting "Clear history when Firefox closes" is selected, so that you get an "already running but not responding" error the next time you ttry to start it. In that case, end the firefox.exe process in the Windows Task Manager (or reboot the computer) then reset your Firefox Privacy options and UNCHECK the option "Clear history when Firefox closes". See this article for details:
    [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the problem and Firefox still not open even after rebooting the computer then try starting in Firefox Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. If Firefox starts then see the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to narrow down the cause.

  • Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?

    I'm using Firefox 4.01 and it will not save my connections settings when I set them to "No Proxy" keeps defaulting to manual therefore it wont load any pages until I change it to "No Proxy" which I have to do every time I open firefox.

  • Pan & zoom overlay will not pan until after user has zoomed in or out

    I've been trying to lay out a large table of data so that when you first see the page, it's zoomed right out.  It's just an imported png image, with its own frame defining over what area of the screen it should be visible, and then set to pan & zoom mode using the overlay creator).
    In this initial state, the width of the image matches that of the frame; only the  bottom part of the image is hidden by being outside the frame.
    So it needs to be able to pan at any time regardless of the zoom level, so that a user can see all the content.  But what's happening is that it refuses to respond to any swipe (i.e. pan) gestures until you have first zoomed in or out to some extent.  Once you've done that the panning works perfectly in all directions.
    I've experimented with different aspect ratios & relative sizes of the content & the frame, but the same thing always happens, so this seems to be deliberate.  Does anyone know of any workarounds, or any options in the viewer builder (which we don't yet have) that might fix this?

    I think this has to do with the fact that you have to "activate" the interactive overlay with a single tap. After that you can pinch and zoom. Before that, even a swipe is not possible.
    That is different for the action "Pan only", wich is automatically activated.
    I hope this will get fixed in the future. We need the autoplay option even for Pan & Zoom for instant access to that interactive overlay.

  • Firefox will not run a WebEx Meeting even though Java Script is Enabled! I am on 4.0, is this a beta version of FireFox? Are you going to Support Java anytime soon?

    I am getting the following error after going in and setting up a WebEx meeting. I will not be able to use FireFox unless you get the ability to enable Java:
    "Java Not Enabled
    Meeting Center cannot be installed because Java is disabled in your Web browser. Please enable Java in your browser, and then click Set Up again. For instructions on enabling Java, refer to your browser's online help.
    If Java cannot be enabled for any reason, you can download the manual installer and install it from your desktop by double-clicking the installer icon."
    I enabled Java, added WebEx to all secure sites and performed every possible check known to man. This is on your end FireFox.
    Do you have an ETA when 4.0 will support Java?

    I will not pretend to know any answers to your problems, but I do wonder if you realise Firefox did decide to produce and support an Extended Stability Release, unfortunately this is NOT going to be based on Firefox 3.6. but on Firefox 10.

  • My itune library will not let me play any songs. I click the play button and it won't start the song.

    Everytime i open itunes, it says that the songs cannot be played for some reason. I click the play button and it won't play a song.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting your device, but it can cure some glitches.

  • Firefox will not remember the window position

    I have tried all the suggestions including deleting the rft file and opening in safe mode and redoing settings. I cannot make this browser remember the position I want it in.

    I have a similar problem, which could even be related.
    I am busy using FF 4.0 b2, (helping with testing), in normal mode it suddenly stopped displaying its windows. I can open a new FF window without any success.
    I am using FF for Mac.
    The only time it will display its windows is in Safe Mode.
    Obviously I can't add extensions to help since there are almost no extensions compatible with FF 4.0 b2

  • Firefox will not load .wmf (windows metafile) images on websites - is this correct/can it be overcome?

    I have written a website using .wmf image files. These will load in Internet Explorer 6 but having just downloaded Firefox 3.6 have found these are ignored, although .jpg files are OK. Does it mean I have to do a rewrite to make Firefox work?

    You will need to use another format like SVG

    Extracting files window appears, begins extracting files, then dissappears and nothing more happens

    Do you have enough space? Try move the installer to another partition.
    Do you have the rights to install programs?
    Are you share that an anti-malware software doesn't block you Firefox installation progress?
