I just installed firefox. When I open facebook, it locks up

I was told firefox was the proper browser to play a game on facebook. I have been using Chrome, mostly with no issues. I installed firefox, and when it said to import, I did so.
I log into facebook and it just halts. After awhile I get a message about the script that all the other support messages say with this
Script: https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/y5/r/QNxOsuxyVYx.js:27
I say stop script and it sort of works until I go to another page or open another tab and then I get it again. O have tried to reset Firefox. I have the latest Java and I have cleared Cashe,
It works ok if I get one tab open to google.Wunderground weather works fine, but many sites have this same issue as facebook, including Amazon.
I am using W7, this is FF 21.0. Looks like the process of resetting firefox reenables whatever plug ins it installed automatically. I haven't installed any of them.
I am posting this from Chrome because of the lockups. Willing to try stuff.

Check your Plugins are updated!
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

I just installed firefox; when I click the icon, nothing happens.

In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

Just installed Firefox 9.0.1. When opening a new browser session, two tabs will open. One is my home page and the other is a Firefox welcome page. I just want my homepage to open. How do I achieve this? Thanks.

That's probably a bookmark you have saved in Favorites.

I just installed Firefox and it is stuck on the "Choose a Profile" page and will not load...frozen. When I click on "Create a Profile", nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.

* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why ?

Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why?
Windows 7 ,Lenovo G580, 8Gb Mem, 4GB AMD radion graphics card, no other changes other than installing FF18

in this case the obvious other candidate would be an incompatible extension - can you disable them one-by-one to find out which one is interfering.
alternatively you could try to reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks & passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

I installed firefox 4 but it asks me to install again when I open it.

I installed Firefox 4 by opening the installer and dragging it to my applications folder, but whenever I open it the Firefox volume reappears after I ejected it and asks me to drag Firefox to my applications folder, even though one is already there.
I hit replace since I figured I did something wrong. It worked fine, by the next time I opened it, it did the same thing. It's becoming really annoying!

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

(Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing Firefox and Reinstalling it. ==

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Having just installed Firefox, I have a start page but not a home page.

I've just installed Firefox. When I start it from the desktop icon, I get a start page but cannot get to then Firefox home page. I have no Firefox button at top left.
How do I get the home page?

The home button just tales me to the start page and I don't know how to get the actual home page.
On the illustrations in the info pack, an orange Firefox button is shown in the top left. I can't get that either.

Firefox will not open facebook

Using 3.6.7. When I open facebook, I get the bar at the bottom for a second or two. Then I get a blank page. I have cleared cache in tools. I have also ran two antivirus programs. I have ran microsoft malicious software removal tool. All have come up clean, didnt have any problems. Chrome and IE open the page fine. All of the other pages seem OK in my bookmarks. I have even changed my FB password to be safe. Same result. Tried safe mode with plugins disabled, same result. Updated all plugins possible. Same result. Disabled quicktime plugins (everything named quicktime), same result. Re-installed program over, same result.
Any help appreciated. I have run the gauntlet of the solutions on this site so far.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.facebook.com

Looks like a mystery problem that FB has worked out with Mozilla. Thank god.
