I have firefox 26.0. After it sits idle for 20 or 30 mins, it shuts itself down. How do I stop this?

None of the previous versions of FF did this. I haven't added any software or hardware, nor made any other changes. I'm using Win 7.
As a side note, even though I have my Options set to re-open all tabs when FF is re-started, none come up unless I re-set the 'Homepage' to "Use Current Pages" each time before I shut down.
Thx for your help -- Bob

Hello Bob, if you have set Show my windows and tabs from last time, then see if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-previous-session#w_settings-may-be-incorrect settings may be incorrect] in privacy panel.
Definitely you have too many pages as your home page and probably Firefox take long to start up !
It is '''not''' related, but in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then you can delete the User.js file(some programs create the file also).
thank you

  • When I go to a site the previous site which I visited loads at the same time. How do I stop this?

    When I search for a site using Firefox the previous site that I visited loads at the same time. How do I stop this from happening?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

    It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
    You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

  • I have iTunes 10.4 and every time I open it my CPU usage hits 100%.  How do I stop this?

    I have iTunes 10.4 and every time I open it my CPU usage hits 100%.  This makes my computer really slow and almost unusable.  How do I stop this?  Another effect is that I cannot log onto the iTunes Store.  I click on it and it says it is loading the iTunes store but the window remains blank.

    So do I!

  • I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself.  how do i stop this from happening?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

    Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

  • Why does my Mac restart after it sits idle for a while?

    I just installed Yosemite on my Mac Pro.  If I let the computer sit idle, the screen saver comes on and after a while, it logs out of both my and my wife's desktops, then restarts on its own.  I then find myself staring at the login screen.  When I log in, I get a crash report saying the computer shut down unexpectedly.  I've sent notifications to Apple each time...at least a dozen times already.  How can this be fixed?

    Thanks for responding so quickly, Barney-15E.  I realize that we are all just everyday people trying to help each other.  I was concerned only because I've never gone this long without somebody responding in some way.  It's highly unusual.  I appreciate anything you can suggest.  As you requested, here is the most recent panic report:

  • Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

    Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

    Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
    Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
    If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

  • Firefox always opens with the "search" tab even though I don't want it. How do I stop this?

    When I open Firefox, it opens normally to my home page. But it also opens with the "search" tab, though I don't want it. How do I prevent this?

    From the search page offered go to your chosen home page. Now move the mouse to the top left and scan the options for view, Toolbars and make sure that the "Menu bar" is ticked. This will show the File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks and tools options plus Help. Click on tools, then Options and select current page as your home page. All should now be sorted.

  • Everytime I open Firefox 8 my default search engine (in the upper right) changes to Yahoo. I want it to stay on google. I have even removed Yahoo as a search option but it keeps showing up on restart. How can I stop this?

    See question above.

    When I installed a new program yesterday, it also without my knowledge installed a customised Yahoo toolbar at the same time setting default search to Yahoo.
    Even though I removed the toolbar from Firefox, nothing I did would stop Yahoo from being the default search. Changing it in "manage search engines" or about:config didn't help as it was immediately reset. I wasted hours searching the web looking for a solution.
    Eventually I started task manager and noticed an application called '''searchsettings.exe''' this is '''malware''' supplied by completely completely unethical company called '''Spigot Inc''' this runs in the background forcing search back to Yahoo contrary to the computer owner's settings.
    It may be uninstalled via the Windows Control Panel. One just needs to find the toolbar to uninstall. In my case I found and removed an application called "pdfForge Toolbar" which also removed searchsettings.exe.
    I am absolutely galled at the audacity of '''Spigot Inc''' installing a program surreptitiously that prevented me from changing the settings on my own computer is completely dishonest. I refuse to use any software that installs a Spigot Inc Toolbar, it is about time that Spigot was shut down!

  • Firefox icon appears in taskbar but everytime I open a new webpage another Firefox icon appears behind the first. I've had as many as 10. How can I stop this?

    Don't know what else to say except that I've tried every suggestion to stop the multiple tiled icons in the task bar as I could find. When I say tiled I mean that the second and third (etc.) icons are slightly offset to the right of the top one. If there are several there and I click on the top one every page I visited but did not close before going on to another website will appear in a small window just above the taskbar.

    This looks normal to me, I tend to have several windows open at the same time. I get the same tiling for other applications, such as MS Word and Adobe Reader. There might be a Windows-wide setting for this.
    If you only have one window but multiple tabs in the window, you should be able to turn off the separate display of tabs on the Taskbar in the Options dialog.
    I'm sure Fred would have directed you here for that:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Uncheck the box for "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"

  • I need to download Firefox version 6.0 0r 7.0 for Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8. How do I do this?

    I have Sling Player on my Mac desktop and it will not support Firefox 8.0, only versions 6.0 or 7.0. How do I download these older versions. I upgraded to 8.0 and my Sling Player application will not work.

    1) Running an old version is VERY dangerous

  • Sometimes, Firefox will go back one page on hitting a left or right arrow key. How do I stop this?

    I have noticed that inadvertant hitting of the left or (more often) right arrow key will cause the browser to go back one page in that current tab's history.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I don't know - I just noticed that the most recent occurrance involved accidentally hitting the right arow key.

  • Won't print after sitting idle for a while

    Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have to turn the printer off and back on after it sits idle for a while. The printer shows on line in the control panel until you try to print then it goes off line. Wireless network Windows 7.

    Hello LARMC, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing idle issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
