History panel opens in left side of window every time I open a Firefox session. How do I turn it OFF?

Windows forced a reboot while I had a Firefox window open with the History Panel (ctl+H) open on the left side of the window. Every since then, whenever I start Firefox, that history panel opens with it in the left side of the new window. How do I stop that?

Have you performed a reset? Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons and await restart.

The first run page keeps opening every time I open my home page, how do I turn it off?

When I first downloaded FF 4 on my netbook I got the first run, welcome to FF 4 screen. As usual. But it keeps coming back. Every time I open FF it opens the welcome screen in the first tab and in the second tab is my home screen.
If FF is already open and I want to open my home screen in another tab, it simultaneously the welcome screen in one tab and my home screen in another.
I will not upgrade the rest of my machines to either FF4 or 5 until this is fixed.

A couple of possible causes, you have multiple home pages set, or the preferences file can not be updated. For details on both of those, see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].

I cannot stop Elements 12 Organiser from asking "Who's this?" every time I open an image. How do I turn that off?

I have a whole history serch panel on the left side of my page, and I don't want it, and can't get rid of it!

I got this history search panel on the left side of my pages on Mozilla Firefox after downloading the latest updates today. I can't click on it, drag it, or otherwise get it to do anything.....Help!

You can toggle the History side panel off/on with "Ctrl+H"
The History sidebar work for me if you change the View in the side panel to "By Last Visited".
The sidebars can be accessed or removed through the View (menu) > Toolbars, by clicking on a sidebar to use/replace/drop only one toolbar can be shown at time.
If you don't see the view menu, use the "Alt" key (or "F10")
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.21, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Tell me how to make Ctrl-B open the bookmarks panel on the left side and NOT open Bing.

For years the Bookmarks panel on the left side would open when I press Ctrl-B. Now it opens Bing. How can I fix this?

Does the sidebar open correctly if you use View > Sidebar?
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
There aren't any extensions listed in the System Details List that could cause this, so I'm not sure why this would happen.

Are you sure that you aren't opening a specific bookmark in the sidebar?
Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. 
You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

I opened the hard drive and found some intrusive files under places in left side of window.. How do I take them out?

I opened the hard drive and found some intrusive files under places in left side of window.. How do I take them out?

Thanks for the reply. I was able to save the data on the Macbook Air whose HD got corrupted by using File Sharing (ethernet connecting two Macbook Airs).
I am also going to make a disk image of the HD using Disk Utility and mount that Disk Image onto an external hard drive. That way I can save the hard drive contents.

List all tabs to left side of window

i want to list all tabs to left side in a window like ctrl+b makes all bookmarks to left side to window . tried 'tile tabs ' add on it is useless .any one suggest me the shortcut or add on.

The link to the actual plug-in seems to be broken. Any one else see this? The "Add To Firefox" button actually points to the "Hide My Ass IP Checker" Add-on instead of the Tree Style Tab add-on.
Any idea who to contact to fix this?

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

Anytime I move my mouse my current window disappears. I move the mouse to the top left corner and then I comes back. How can I turn this off?

Anytime I move my mouse my current window that is open disappears. When I move my mouse to the top left corner it comes back. How do I turn this off? It's not a Zoom issue, it disappears completely. Help please.

Are you running 10.6 Snow Leopard as your profile indicates?
If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

Thank you the-edmeister.
I downloaded the menu editor extension but I can't open it.
Searching on the web for something to open it I get the message from the windows website:
File Type: Unknown
Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Steve Shmurak

I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

You have an opt out option.
THIS opt out option has a forever option.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)

I don't recognize this pop up. What are the options in the gear dropdown- right side of your image.
You can open a temporary guest account to see if the problem persist in this environment. If no than it is your user account.
Try a safeboot and test to load only system apps no 3rd party.

If the pop is gone I suspect third party software interference.
