I get the "Well, this is embarrasing" message every time I try to open Firefox. I've tried restarting my computer, nothing helps. I use MacBook Pro.

This happens when my home page is loading, or sometimes when I am trying to open another game, and sometimes for no reason at all. It happens usually about 10-20 times an hour and is a real pain. I use Foxfire because it supports the Zinga game bar. What can I do to help get rid of this nuisance.

Thanks for the workaround. However what's missing here is some acknowledgement of a new problem? This error message on start-up is affecting every laptop and Mac in our house. It wasn't happening before the last upgrade so what's been broken and what else is damaged? Firefox has been running so clunky and slow of late that I'm considering abandoning it until I read things have been fixed.

    Hi,
    When you are looking at the small pictures in the organizer, you are seeing the thumbnails that were stored within the organizer catalog when you first imported them into the organizer. When you first imported the files, the organizer saved the location of that file and the pointer to the thumbnail. When you try to edit or print the image, the organizer can no longer find the image at the stored location - the file is missing.

    The changing drive letter is the most common cause when images are stored on an external drive.
    I'm not sure what you mean about when you say "did not go back into categories like I had them on version 7".
    If you updated to version 12 from version 7 on the same PC, there was no need to move any of the images so they should be in the same folders as before. The catalog should have been converted for you (if you allowed it) and so all your albums and tags should have been preserved.

  • Firefox opens the old browsing window (previous session) every time i try and open a new window, how do I change this back?

    Every time I go to open a new window, the old one will come up instead. For a while it was working fine, then I kept needing the old window and would use the 'restore previous session' feature to access this. However, even after I didn't need it anymore (and without me selecting the feature, it would still open the previous session.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    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).

  • I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox several times. Every time I try to open Firefox I get an error message saying "Close Firefox"," A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

    I uninstall Firefox, then reinstall Firefox, try to open Firefox, and get an error message in a popup box saying,
    "Close Firefox"
    "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Every time I try to open Firefox now the UAC prompt comes up asking for permision to make changes to my computer and my firefox pages' home icon is now yellow, why?

    I recently updated to Firefox 3.6.17. Afterward I closed Firefox and when I tried to open it again I got the "Firefox is already running, restart your computer to open" message. So I restarted and when I tried to open Firefox I got the UAC "permission to make changes to this computer" message with the shield and I clicked yes. when I tried again Firefox came up and when it did my home (the house) icon was yellow instead of its ordinary blue, Now whenever I close Firefox I then always get the "permission to make changes to this computer" with the shield message whenever I try to open Firefox again. Why and how do I stop that from happening? And why is the home (the house) icon yellow now? Is that normal?

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />

  • How do I get rid of "This is embarassing" message that is now default when opening Firefox. H

    How can I get rid of this tab the message refers to and the error message?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly.
    Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • Suddenly every time I try to open firefox, I get this error: TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined

    it will load after I x it out, but when I open hotmail, it loads, and reloads, and acts as though it has a virus. in the address bar a message keeps flashing saying something about javascript. I've tried everything.

    cor-el is correct. I confirmed this myself. Has nothing to do with Add-ons. It happened on a brand new laptop with no add-ons installed.
    It is a bug that needs to be squashed ASAP.

  • I get an error message every time i try to open google, when I click on it it goes to the site, this just started with the new update

    Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]

  • I am in Viet Nam, every time I try to open Firefox in english it switches to Vietnamese. How can I stop this behavior?

    Firefox changes languages when I open it, from english to Vietnamese.

    This issue can be caused by Facebook gadgets.<br />
    You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit.<br />

  • Every time I try to open Firefox, a "firefox.exe-application error" pops up and say the memory cannot be written. WHY?!

    stupid error. its annoying. i want mozilla, not IE.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
