Hosed (again) by Firefox 8
When I got upgraded to Firefox 8 all my tabs were gone. When I go to the options I can no longer set "Show my windows and tabs from last time" because it is grayed out. I then installed Firefox 7.01 and still have the same problem.
Can someone please tell me the hyper secret code (again) to fix this problem. What is the magic string you type in the browser to get at the secret settings.
switched to Chrome problem gone. Since this has been an ongoing issue since 2010 with no solution I guess switching browser is the only thing to do.
As you can see from my screenshot, MULTIPLE entries of resource hogging plug in containers all needing to be force quit.
I have used FF for years but recently while speaking to customers on phone my browser would lock up because of this and therefore its a no-brainer what needs to be done in a work enviroment... switch to more stable browser. Hope you sort it out FF but till then bon voyage!

Already signed in on ebay; then I go to either revise my item or sell and item, ebay will ask you to sign in again; using Firefox, the same screen keeps coming up, asking me to sign in. I then have to use IE . Deleting history does not help.
# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]] -
After implementing SP1 for Windows 7 Firefox "hang"(I got the startscreen, but could not do anything: no response). After a roll back removing SP1 Firefox works again.
I installed SP1 also some months ago and had the same problems, also then this was solved also by a roll back removing SP1.
Does Firefox have problems in combination with SP1? How to solve this? Thanks.Followed the given advice: installed SP1 again, ran Firefox in safemode, disabled other running programs as mutorrent, still Firefox didnt work. I had internetconnection (after restarting mutorrent this did work, the app telling me what the weather outside is worked) but no Firefox: as previous time I got the start screen, but could not browse the internet.
I also tried to start the Internet Explorer and it also looked as if that application had problems (but that can also be because I did not use it for a while - old version or whatever - and it is not my standard browser).
Have again performed a roll back in order to remove SP1, now Firefox works again.
If somebody has advice it would be very welcome! -

Why have my buttons gone. No refresh, reload, stop and No plugin buttons. cannot get them back- even with view toolbars customise and dragging them back to the left because when I am 'done' they magically disappear again. Fix this bug. Help me
Firstly, try following the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Toolbar%20keeps%20resetting
Hopefully, after doing that, the buttons should stay where you put them.
As far as the reload/stop buttons are concerned, they've been effectively merged into a single button. It is possible to split them though. When customising, drop a "Flexible Space" widget so that it is situated between both buttons (they always show as two separate buttons in the customisation mode).
It's also worth noting that, if you want plugin icons to appear on a status bar, you can re-instate this behaviour with the help of the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ Status-4-Evar] extension. -
Foxtab 1.4.9 stopped working again? Firefox 24, Flash player 12. A'm I the only one?
Blank empty foxtab screen when I open foxtab. Reinstalled Firefox 26 and downgraded flash player from 12 to 11. Running Windows 7. Though I would be able to find this latest recurring fix on the internet but after waiting a week, I thought I should bring up my problem here. Maybe I'm the only person that is having this problem? I have always been able to understand the cause with earlier foxtab problems but I'm stumped this time. Using Foxtab 1.4.9, Flash Player 12. I don't have a screen shot button on my keyboard but foxtab is showing it's normal screen, only no sites are on the screen and I can't add any web pages either.
Thanks philipp
That did it. I did not see the new release of Foxtab.
Again Thanks -

I uninstalled firefox and re-installed it from download. No difference. When I boot my computer, the internet doesn't start automatically anymore. I have to go into network manager and start it myself. Don't know why. My on-line windows help won't connect to the net either.
Sounds like a broken profile.

We heard firefox had crashed, friend 4 hours away has same problem. She got hers fixed but even tho I can get a message that firefox is running , its not functioning so I can use it. Had two updates to do, one automatically, one I started at firefox request. Since then, we can't get on the internet or any programs. Unless you can tell me what's wrong, I'll have to have a computer company come in to fix problem.
It is always a good idea to back up your bookmarks, if you are able to do that now it may help, and if you are considering using them in an alternative browser it may be a good idea to back them up as HTML as well as the default .json files.

Have you read the articles shown in my first message above with the blue clickable links. One of the first things to try is using Firefox in firefox [[safe mode]] which should be available from your program list, BUT when trying that on the first dialogue do not make changes just click on continue.
*Does that work ?
* did you see the list of options and click on the continue button ?
* are you seeing any error messages ? -
Beyond frustrated here. I can watch YouTube on Safari (I have a MacBook Pro laptop, OS 10.6.8), but I use Firefox, for everything else, so really need YouTube access on Firefox. I have googled the problem a zillion times and find solutions that do not work.
Today in several places, including here at Firefox, the instruction is to uncheck the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box which is found when you right-click (two-finger click on my trackpad) on the black YouTube screen. Then click on Settings, which brings up a display box. In the display box I'm supposed to be able to uncheck the hardware acceleration. And I see it there in front of me.
But it's dead to my trackpad! The Enable Hardware Acceleration will not uncheck when I click on its tiny box. It's supposed to be active, but nothing I do in that display box works--even the close button. I've refreshed the page, tried clicking the icons on it, nothing works.
Can you imagine no YouTube for months? It's driving me crazy. PLEASE help, I will be so grateful!
Thanks~~Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Everytime I try to view images with firefox it crashes, submits a report, to which I've had no response yet, asks if I want to restart firefox with last session or start a new session. What is going on?
It only happens if I try to use google images with firefox. I've now narrowed it down to an extension, AVG SafeSearch, doesn't happen if I disable this.

Saving tabs upon shutting down Firefox so they will open again when Firefox gets launched
On the previous version of Firefox, the possibility existed to save the tabs you were using so that they could open up automatically next time you started up Firefox.
This feature is great & i suppose it still exists, but it seems i can't find it (or maybe i have conflicting parameters). Could you help me please ?Tools-Options-General- Startup: When Firefox Starts, Select 'Show windows and tabs from last time'

After loading firefox it will open once then when i shut down unaberle access the web again
I load firefox and access the internet but when I back out of firefox to continue with something else and attempt to access the net again with firefox nothing happens. It lost in the back ground of the computer. Never had this problem before with firefox until I tried to use bitcomet and zonealarm. It fustrating.
Try to close Firefox via "File > Exit" if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
