Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-)

HT204085 Keep being asked for keychain id every time I open a new web page. How can I get this to stop?

First I was locked out of my computer. I followed some advice on how to delete keychain folder and make a new login keychain, which worked, but now I am constatnly being asked to put in the ID. How can I make this stop?

Open Firefox -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "No Style"
Now the pages will open in your suggested font sizes. Check and tell if its working.

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window

I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.

i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.

How can I stop firefox from redirecting me to the stupid survery every time I open a new page?

Every time I open up the browser, starting this morning, it redirects me to a survey. Every time I open up a new tab or page, it redirects me to a survey.

this sounds like an issue witha dware/malware on your computer. please try all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

How do you remove the serveads pop up that occurs every time you load a new web page?

This only occurs with my Mozilla Firefox browser.

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

I cannot close a web page but it keeps appearing every time I open firefox 3.5./ Imac. There is no red close button on that page, no tabs, no option to refresh - only to press ok on some prize. Any suggestions?

I can't access the tab to give you more info about the URL.
I have cleared history, cookies and closed the computer but nothing works

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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).

Add-Ons Manager Tab won't go away

Using Firefox 10.0.2 on a brand-new Mac Mini running Lion 10.7.3.
Every time I open up Firefox, it opens in two side-by-side tabs. The one on the left is my home page; the one next to it says 'Add-Ons Manager' and it simply tells me the add-ons I've installed and so on. How do I get rid of this tab? I can click the X and it goes away, but it reappears every time I open Firefox again. I can't find anything in the settings that obviously gets rid of this for good.

Click on something below the Get Add-ons menu item on the left side of the Add-ons Manager tab.

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How do I get rid of the "You've opened a new tab" message every time I open a new tab? It's annoying.

Every time I open a new tab, I get the message "You've opened a new tab" How do I stop this from happening?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

Every time I open a new tab, it no longer goes to the standard "you've opened a new tab" page, but to a searchwebsite of Babylon. How do I fix this?

Every time I open a new tab, it no longer shows the standard Firefox "new tab" page, but a search-website by Babylon. I don't know how to fix this.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
It's possible that ''Babylon ''will add itself to more than one place in '''about:config'''. Therefore, after completing the above steps, open about:config again, type "''babylon''" in the filter at the top and for every instance where you see a setting with that name in it, right click it and choose ''''''Modify ''''''and then ''''''Reset''''''. Then close Firefox and restart it. See example screenshot.
Babylon search and toolbar will be installed with an IM chat client called ''Digsby'' if you don't opt out of it during the installation. See the info at the foot of this page: http://techshali.com/digsby-instant-messenger-and-email-manager-social-networks/

Music plays every time I open a new tab. New problem. Nothing stops it. HELP!

This is something that just started and it's driving me crazy. Every time I open a new tab, irritating music starts to play. I have done all the other solutions I saw, including installing and then disabling CoolPreview, which I never had to start with. I have done a complete system scan and no malware was found. don't know what is causing this but I want it to end. I have not added any new add-ons or extensions. It sounds like cheesy video game music or PCH music. Any ideas?

I found out what was happening!
ginabgood1 mentioned music from PCH, I, foolishly, signed up with them too (then unsubscribed because they were sending me TONS of "entries" constantly) and it was after that I had this problem.
Even though there was not a link to them on my new tab page the music would play every time I opened a new tab.
What I did was start deleting the links at the bottom right of the page, I eventually had a PCH link page show up and deleted it. The music has now stopped playing whenever I open a new tab.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
