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.

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).

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Thanks....''arcadiune [[#question-1052917|said]]''

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 :-) -
Ever since downloading the latest version of iTunes, my iPad (3rd generation) keeps appearing in the browser as if it's still connected. I eject it (even though I don't physically have it connected in any way). But it keeps reappearing every time I open iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem?
Do you have Sync over wifi enabled for this device?
Click on the device name, Scroll down the summary page to options and the second box is Sync Via Wifi. If you do not want this uncheck it and click apply -
after downloading the new itunes and also ios 5 for my ipad 2, I cannot get itunes to open for more than 3 seconds without it crashing on me. I have uninstalled it and re-installed it with no luck. Windows says iTunes has stopped working. I have also tried a "repair" of the program but nothing. Help please?!
Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!

PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :) -
Figured it out. There was code in the Preferences/home page field telling it to open my home page and that page at the same time in two tabs. Don't know how it happened, but is fixed now.
Yeah, I don't know why I can't find my posted problem of November 18, but it was similar, and I also figured out how to fix it. IF when you open Firefox to your homepage and MORE opens than IS your homepage, then go to tools, options, and check your homepage info. You will find the URLs to your homepage plus whatever windows are opening that you do NOT want. Delete everything but the homepage and close. I had at least 10 windows opening from a browsing session over a week ago every time I opened Firefox... aggravating!

The new firefox opens my homepage IN ADDITION to the firefox startup page EVERY TIME I open firefox. How can I stop this and make it so ONLY my homepage shows?See these articles for some suggestions:

I have a movie site banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page. It appears every time I open Safari. How can I delete it?
You do not have a virus. Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7. I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.
Regarding malware, see my Mac Malware Guide:

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?
I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great. -
How do I stop the "Better Privacy" help page coming up every time I open Firefox and while browsing?
The "Better Privacy" help page opens as a separate tab every time I open Firefox. I close it, but it keeps coming back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking a link or using a bookmark) and at seemingly random intervals while I'm browsing.
chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
I'm sure it's not malware, but it's driving me mad. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
I don't want to disable Better Privacy, but I'm often tempted to do so.
I'm using (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.Check the Home page setting:

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it. -
Ghostery settings not saved, but must be reset each time I open Firefox.
For several weeks now I am obliged to reset all of the Ghostery settings every time I open Firefox 33.1.1. The Ghostery webpage pops up along with my homepage and all of my prior settings have been removed. The folks at Ghostery tell me the problem is at the Firefox end. Can anyone help resolve this?
With the help of a friend I had tried that and Malwarebytes still did not detect the threat. At that point I bailed and got my computer wiped and all new software installed. I read a review on AVG antivirus that praised it for
its' sensitivity but cautioned against "false positives" for that reason. I am beginning to wonder if it was not a false positive since it only came up when opening Firefox, but not in the full AVG scan.
By the way I imported book marks from Firefox into Internet explorer which had never shown that warning and it began to show the warning on opening. It has me puzzled to say the least but thanks for your suggestions. -

How can I eliminate the amns.startnow page every time I open firefox/google?
Every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the tool bar. How do I stop this?
I might also say that Search| Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when "help" is also in the tool bar above.I don't want to get rid of a tool bar per se. It's the fact that every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, I get a line-up of three pages: Google, Search|Firefox Help and Start Here under the tool bar that shows File------Help. This doesn't happen with IE. Then when I try to close, I always get the question of whether I want to close three tabs. It's just a nuisance.

Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?
Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.
