Have to refresh Yahoo bookmarks every time Firefox starts for it to open

Every time I start the 4.0 Firefox I have to refresh the Yahoo bookmarks several times for it to open completely for them to
become usable

I dont use tabs and only use the Yahoo toolbar bookmarks(about 200)they dont show up in the Firefox or IE bookmarks.After starting Firefox from being offline
these dont open.From the pulldown button in the toolbar I go to tools>then refresh bookmarks sometimes several times for them to open all the way for normal use.It was'nt until the more recent updates this started happening.Another thing started happening at the same time in the Yahoo mail when trying to delete mail from the spam and trash folders when you select all>delete the cursor would go right to the to the OK button.Now I have to drag
it to the button.this only happens in Firefox in Yahoo mail.
Thanks for your fast reply

I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" every time Firefox starts up.

I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" for Sync every time Firefox starts up. Sync tells me I am using a new computer, which isn't the case. This is the same computer I set up Sync with.
What am I/is Sync doing wrong?

There could be several things.
Does everyone using the computer have their own user profile?
Check the history settings. Is it set to remove cookies?
Type '''about:preferences#privacy''' <Enter> in the address bar.

Every time firefox starts it opens a second window to check for Plug in updates!

The first time, I updated all but the Adobe Reader. It crashed.
I have turned off adobe, and still, every time I start Firefox the update plugins opens as the second window

That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed. 
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file. 
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

I get error message every time firefox starts: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild is null - 2

About two weeks ago I started getting this error message every time I started up Firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild is null - 2.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the error continues. Then I did a System restore to several months ago, but the error continues. It doesn't happen with any other program.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it. If it has anything to do with the registry, I'll just have to let it be and switch to a different browser.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I have been getting this (or earlier version) messages every time Firefox updates for at least a year "The Java Console extension is no longer supported and will be automatically removed the next time you restart Firefox. " What should I do?

For a long time, each time Firefox updates, it invites me to install theJava Console Update. then I get a message that Java Console not supported.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension (if you have it): Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions

HOW DO I STOP THE 3 UPDATE TABS FROM APPEARING EVERY TIME FIREFOX STARTS ???

I have gone into the updating section of Options & UN-ticked thgem but the still appear every time !
Using XP pro & FireFox 9.0.1

Hi MadogM,
Are you saying you always see the tab telling you that you've updated? 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!

I have to install CC Desktop every time I start my Computer

Whenever I open an Adobe CC app on my laptop, Creative Cloud starts up and I see the icon on the top bar of my computer screen. Not so on my Desktop computer. It never starts up on it's own and if I have problems with apps (which seems to happen often), I first look to see if there is an update. However, if I have turned off my computer since the last time I used CC Desktop, it won't start. If I try to start it from the Applications folder by double clicking the alias it does nothing. If I try to start it by double clicking the actual app icon in the Utilities folder, it does nothing. If I download the CC Desktop installer and start it up, it stalls during Initialization, the color wheel spins, and I have to restart the computer to quit out of the installer.
The only thing that works is for me to start up the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and "clean" the Creative Cloud Desktop app, which essentially makes it dissapear from my applications folder. I don't know what happens to it, and it is not in the trash, I just know it is gone and only then will the new app install properly, and it starts up.
And this happens every single time. So instead of simply starting photoshop and going to work, I have to screw around with restarting and cleaning and downloading and installing for 25 minutes first.
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Or have a solution?

No solution I am afraid apart from what you have found. I occasionally have to completely re-install all of the apps as well. Same here, it happens after I reboot the system, if I keep it running then I am good.

(Legitimate) Pop up Windows every time Firefox starts

So, lately each time I fire up Firefox, the new browsing session recovers pop up windows from previous sessions (from the last time or even some from like, three days ago) I have long closed down. My start up option has always been "Show my windows and tabs from last time" which used to do exactly that: recover tabs I had opened or start with a new blank tab in case I had none opened. Now though, each time I open FIrefox I am getting various windows from previous session(s).
The catch here is that this doesn't APPEAR to be a malware issue since I am not getting weird ad/dodgy windows but "legitimate" pop ups I remember I have personally triggered i.e a picture or frame from a trusted site which opened into a new window or a help section from amazon.com etc.
This is a first and as you can imagine it has become really annoying. I am using Firefox 25.0.1.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for your replies philipp and james
Yeah, it seems it's a case of firefox not shutting down properly since the problem appeared ever since I've begun closing down firefox by ending the process (mind you, with a cmd shortcut icon even) in an attempt to efficiently escape from the never-ending flash player script hangs/crashes (disabling hardware acceleration or reinstalling flash player doesn't help).
Deleting all the sessionstore ... files solved the pop up windows issue.

Why do I have to log into CC every time I start my PC?

I am the only one that uses my PC, I don't want to have to look up my lastpass password every morning when I log in. I have tried reinstalling, deleting folders in the Program Data folders etc and nothing works. Any assistance or update on an upcoming feature would be greatly appreciated. I find it funny that the Adobe website can keep me logged in weeks after signing in but the desktop application can't manage to do that.

I don't have that problem. This solution was posted by Rajshree in the Creative Cloud Forum.
Rename the SLStore to SLStore.old from this Location

Once done please rename OOBE to OOBE.old from this Location

Please launch any Creative cloud application and let us know if it helps.

Two tabs reload every time Firefox 3.6.2 starts, even if they were previously closed

Starting today, I have two tabs that reload every time Firefox is started. I've tried clearing the history, closing the tabs and restarting, and simply rebooting the system. Upgrading Firefox is not an option, as the newer versions don't work properly with some of the websites I frequent.
As it worked fine until today, and the copy on my USB drive still works fine, I assume it's a setting wrong. I'd copy the USB version over to my PC, but then I'd have to reset all of my bookmarks.
Thank you.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
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).

Element 12 runs updating every time it starts why?

element 12 runs updating every time it starts why?
The problem is that I have 35,000 photos and every time I start it runs for a long time and most time does not add any thing
Can some help explain is there a way to stop or control this ?
Thanks ..

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. 
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

Why do I have to reload Flashplayer 11 every time I restart Firefox?

I am running Firefox 10.0.2 I have flashplayer11-2_p6_install_win_pi32_022712 dot exe installed and can watch all videos that I encounter. BUT, every time I shut down Firefox, flashplayer is dumped and has to be reloaded the next time I start up! Symptoms are a black screen where the video should be on a web page. I understand that there is a possibility of a conflict with real player. I have tried to remove the real player plug ins but they come back every time I start firefox. I am stumped! Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks Cor-el, I have tried your suggestion of deleting the pluginreg.dat without affecting the problem.
In the Plugins tab I see Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.221. But it does not work. If I wish to use any Flash site including You Tube and many others then, before starting Firefox, I have to install Flash. If I start Firefox and then visit a Flash site I have to shut down Firefox and reload Flash before restarting Firefox. This is true on every occasion after the computer has been shut down.
Notes: I CAN watch a very few you tube videos in Firefox. Internet Explorer also shows a similar fault telling me to load the latest version of Flash Player. Apple Safari allows viewing of most youTube videos. Google Chrome allows viewing of all youTube videos!
Any other thoughts would be gratefully received!

Is it possible to NOT have 'Restore Previous Session' option come up automatically every time you start Firefox?

A large envelope pops up mid-screen every time I start Firefox, asking if I want to restore previous session. I don't want all users after me to have this option, but don't want to keep an empty history either. Can I deselect this option somewhere? Looked around, but found nothing.

Unfortunately changing the options found under "Completely disable session restore" does not make any difference to this problem.
