How do I stop Firefox mobile from having to restart when switching between apps?

When I'm switching between apps, firefox takes 10 seconds to load up again. Why isn't it already loaded since I just had it up? The Opera browser doesn't do that.

Android automatically closes apps in the background when it needs more memory. To let Firefox run in the background longer, we will need to reduce its memory usage. We are continuing to work on this with each new version of Firefox.

How do I stop Firefox mobile from making it's own connections to Google, AmazonAWS and netDNA despite choosing every available opt-out?

If I visit a simple web page which doesn't contain any 3rd party content I can still see Firefox Mobile making secure connections to:
108.161.188.224 - Registered to netDNA in the US
74.125.230.* - Various Google servers
23.21.86.68 23.23.293.51 and many more - Amazon AWS servers
These always follow any page load, browsing from a desktop system makes no such connections and are established on a website such as lwn.net which have no 3rd party content on their pages.
I have unticked all options in telemetry and have no sync set up, I even tried disabling things like Safebrowing and add-on update checks in about:config but the very concerning connections remain.
Please help me find the option to make this stop. As the communications are secure I can't look at what they might contain and it baffles me as to what purpose they serve but question one is how on earth do I disable the worrying connections to companies I choose to avoid.

Hi tryingtoescape,
On Firefox for Android there is a new experimental about page that tells you all of the network connections being made in Firefox.
Try it, go to [about:networking]
To disconnect, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear Private Data then restart Firefox on the Android device. This will minimize the active sockets.
However even in private guest session there is safebrowsing.google.com, the default search engine and attached accounts. But you have already found a way to disconnect thest.
Does clearing the Private Data make an improvement?
For specific connections mentioned:
108.161.188.224 - Registered to netDNA in the US 74.125.230.* - Various Google servers 23.21.86.68 23.23.293.51 and many more - Amazon AWS servers
You may be able to try an add on, one found was: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/silentblock/?src=search]

How do I stop Firefox looping from crash to start when it won't stay up long enough to enter into?

Ever since the latest update Firefox hasn't worked properly. It has the MyPoints latest toolbar attached to it and allowed me to view it then suddenly vanished. After that it started this open/crash loop that is so fast I can't click into the browser to try safe mode or to even access the toolbar. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Everything got worse and the MyPoints toolbar suddenly reappeared. A lot of extraneous programs were downloaded without my permission and it's taken days to uninstall all of those. I'm on a refurbished Windows 7 HP and just finished ALL the newest Windows updates. Tried Firefox again, same problem. Unless I can actually access Firefox (the mouse is supper sluggish when trying to click in the Firefox browser as if the browser is preventing access) I can't do any of the "fixes" suggested in your support forum. I have uninstalled and re-install Firefox about 4 times now but nothing changes. Yes, I deleted the Mozilla file in "programs". I can't do a screen shot because of the inability to access the window in the time allowed before it crashes and there is nothing to see but the opening window - no error messages. No crash report comes up. Just an endless loop of open/close/open/close etc.

Are you sure you didn't get an unofficial installer? You may need to visit the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface innocent sounding bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, to ensure that your program folder is not contaminated, I suggest:
'''Clean Reinstall'''
We use this name, but it's not about removing your settings, it's about making sure the program files are clean -- and do not contain alien code files. As described below, this process does not disturb your existing settings. Do NOT uninstall Firefox, that's not needed.
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 37.0.1 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the program folder
''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* \OldFirefox\Plugins
* \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

How can I stop Firefox 4 from displaying "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" from appearing every time I click on File/Page Preview?

Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.

Does it behave that way in [[Safe Mode]] ?
If it doesn't, then one of your add-ons in the culprit.

How do I stop firefox 29 from checking compatability of addons at every start.

Firefox 27 started checking addon at exery start. Then wanted to delete third party addon ubuntu modification that is used by ubuntu to check for updates.
Went to Ubuntu software center and deleted Firefox. Restarted Ubuntu 12.4 LTS reinstaled Firefox.
Now new version 29 with same problem. How do I fix / stop firefox from checking addon at every start of firefox.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

How do I stop my phone from downloading every email when updating software?

Everytime I update, or have to restore my phone it decides to download all emails that I have deleted previously. How do I stop this from happening?

If you network operator supports it, I suggest that you try to enable the automatic time update function in the phone.
Menu > Organizer > Clock > Options > Settings > Automatic time update.
See if that might solve the problem.
If you still are having problems with this or if this is not supported by your network operator I think this will have to be checked at a repair center.
In that case contact your local support team for more info.

In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

How can I stop my computer from logging off automatically when the computer is dormant for a few minutes?

I must have changed a setting by mistake.
Now, after a period of dormancy, my computer shuts down all apps and logs off.
How can I stop it from doing that?
I've tried to retrace any recent steps in the Preferences, but to no avail.
Steve

Niel, thanks for putting me on the right track. I had to go to the "advanced" section of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences to find that option. I had almost given up searching the 4 tabs on the main page in vain.
But I found it and it's turned off
Thanks again
Steve

How do I stop the cursor from having a mind of its own?

I just received this computer T400. A mac user wswitching over to pc - not famliar with the land. I am using a notebook and the cursor clicks on its own when I let it rest and then transports me to whatever information/page that it happens to rest upon. needles to say this is very tiring. I have tried to go to the help section and there is not informaiton about how to stop this from happening. There is informaiton for mouse control. The information I found on the cursor only spoke to the rate of blinking.
also, I would like to incluse word in my start up programs and can't figure out how to do that.
the cursor information would be most useful to me at the moment. Thank you.

onlinebabe, welcome to the forum,
you probably need to turn off or adjust the sensitivity of tapping in the UltraNav Touchpad properties. Go to Control Panel > Mouse and select the UltraNav tab and adjust the settings.
Do you mean that you want word to start automatically when windows starts? Right click in an empty area of the task bar and choose properties > Start Menu > Customise and add Word to your Autostarts folder.
Hope this helps

In OS 10.7.5, after quitting on shutdown, how can I stop Firefox 23 from automatically opening on restart?

Before I shut down my computer, I quit all my open applications. This makes startup cleaner. But now, upon startup, Firefox 23 automatically opens...not Safari, not Mail, just new Firefox 23. This would seem to be the new default. Can I stop this behavior?

See:
*https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193281
"Reopen windows when logging back in"
* http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=startup - Open Applications Automatically on Startup
* Control-click on the Firefox Dock icon and uncheck 'Open at Login'
* Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window)
** Click the Login Items tab
** Click on Firefox in the list
** Click the Minus (-) button

How can I stop Firefox 34 from crashing when I click a button on the NOrton 360 toolbar??

I have the latest Norton 360 and fully updated. Also have FF 34.05. After anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, clicking any of the Norton Toolbars buttons that open options and provide multiple log in options FF crashes and when I reopen it it brings up my old tabs and at the end it brings up the FF welcome screen. In the options, it changes my opening page to the Norton Welcome page and the option to open previous tabs which was there with open default site which now it the welcome screen. Need help as have tried several fixes from the net and none so far work. Have allowed FF to reinstall the pref file, have removed hardware acceleration as well as put flash into a non protected mode and none help.
Don't know if it is a FF or Norton issue but, it is a real issue. Please help.

Thanks for your quick turn around. I'd be surprised if corrupt files as I only got the machine last Thursday but, it was a refurb so perhaps issues from the previous owner.
Do have some questions as follows:
It is a Windows 8.1 64 machine so will the fix recommended work??
looking at the page, appears option 2 is my best bet but, won't start until I get the go for Win 8.2. Assuming this is a good fix and since I would be doing it with the system and not a program, no malware??
As far as drivers, do have a app from HP that updates drivers and I updated everything after I got it going so should have the latest drivers and I did try alone unclicking the machine acceleration and no change there but, with the scan, might help. I have run all of the Windows updates which were quite a few with a new computer and do have Windows set to perform automatic updates so don't think I need to worry about graphic drivers??
Your thoughts on my questions before running the scan at the elevated admin level. By the way, I am the admin so do I simply run as admin or is there a higher thing I need to do to run at High Administrator???
Also, if after I run the scan and repair, if OK on Win 8.1 should I send your results to Norton for them to look at since almost all of the problems are with Norton and perhaps they have a fix with those issues and having running the driver fix should help them?? Also will the scan and repair indicate what was fixed and what wasn't.
Sorry so many questions but, don't want to mess up my new machine.
Thanks so much,
Dave

How do I stop Firefox emblem from appearing on screen after it is closed?

When I download an attachment, Firefox installation pops up. When I close, there is a Firefox emblem on my screen which I then have to send to trash at least twice to get rid of.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.
