I go to open up firefox and it shows at the top Restore Session - Mozilla Firefox and freezes won't let me do anything

firefox won't run

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. 
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 resolved the problem. I went to CNet and re-downloaded the upgrade. It proceeded as intended and the upgrade is installed and running with no loss of plug-ins, bookmarks, etc.

I am using Windows 7 on my desk top computer. The top area of the desk top is visible at the top of my Mozilla Firefox browser and all web pages. It is opaque

The web pages do not completely fill the screen at the top of my computer screen as I can see the top of my desk top page. It is opaque but still visible. I would like to have the entire screen (the bookmarks still visible along the side, of course) and not see the background of the desk top. Thank you.

Try to disable transparency in Windows, see:

I gat this message when trying to sign in to firefox- Restore Session-Mozilla Firefox not responding.

I redownloaded and the same thick happens. Any suggestions?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to log onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... Help?

Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to long onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... I'm finding it frusrtrating and annoying since I cannot use Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. It works on other accounts excluding mine - What is this crap rigged or something? I have to resort to crappy Google Chrome and Safari since it messed up on both of my computers... Here's what it says when I double-click the short-cut: " Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. " Although, it says the way to help - Can you like, dumb it down for me?
ALSO, here's what it says when I go onto http://runescape.com - It says: An error occurred during a connection to www.runescape.com:443.
Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.
(Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. 
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Adobe Flash crash when I try to upload some photos to create an album on Facebook . I think this issue related to the new version of Mozilla Firefox that I had installed 3 days ago and cause my system not able to open the internet . But I have sent a rep

Adobe flash crash when I try to upload photos to created album on Facebook . Is this related to the new version of Mozilla Firefox that I installed few days ago.

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

I have Firefox 3.6.13 Since the most recent update from Firefox I lost all my book marks and have not been able to place any pages in the book marks. I also do not seem to keep any History. Help!

I also notice when using a search from the tab on the far right say where Google is that I does not begin a search. When I use a secure email program the normal new window or tab that would open to type the message opens but remains blank. and will not load.
The server we are connected to crashed soon after I down loaded the new update for Mozilla Firefox. It has been replaced with a new one but I still have the above problems. I prefer to use only Firefox and would apreciate being to utilize the program as I did before. I am not happy with the problem with the new update. Or at least that is how it seems to me.

# Quit Firefox.
# Create a backup copy of your profile folder in a safe location.
#* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
# Uninstall Firefox and delete your Firefox profile folder as well (NOT the backup copy you created earlier).
#* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
# From the following page download and install Firefox 16, which is the last version that runs on Mac OS X 10.5.
#* [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]]
# Import your bookmarks from the automated backups found in the backup copy of your profile folder. They're in the /bookmarkbackups subfolder.

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.
Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?
Thanks

Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.
Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

[SOLVED] ok, so ever since I downloaded the newer version of Firefox my tabs icon (+) on the top is gone. I know I can hit cntrl T, but I really like just clicking the + which opens a new tab. How do I get that back??

ok, so ever since I downloaded the newer version of Firefox my tabs icon (+) on the top is gone. I know I can hit cntrl T, but I really like just clicking the + which opens a new tab. How do I get that back?? I've looked around the HELP section and can only find info about what tabs are etc... Even in all the picutres about the feature it shows the + icon at the top of the page to open a new one. What do I do??

NM, got it fixed. Thanks!!!

Just below toolbar, Firefox is telling me "Downloading the lastest applications" - what is this and how can I stop it. It's been running for 2 hours.

How do I stop the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab from opening every time I open FF?

Every time I open FF, the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab opens. I have checked and it's not in my homepage list.
If I open any additional windows, it doesn't open.
But, once I close all of them and reopen it again, the tab opens.
I've had a similar problem with a couple addons (ietab) doing the same thing.

about:config is typed into the address bar as if you were going to a web page.
It will popup a message warning you that you are messing with important stuff.
Just agree.

Can i have the orange firefox symbol AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time?? and how??

Here are two "Menu" add-ons which alter the Menu bar into one button.
With this one you can move the new "Menu" button into the Customize Palette, and then when you hit the '''Alt''' key the "Menu will open down from the Titlebar on the left. Won't affect the action of the Firefox button when you de-select the Menu Bar. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/compact-menu-2/
This one I haven't used recently, but you can play with it to see what is possible.

Did you also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder?

Try to reinstall Firefox.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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.org/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.
