Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page<br>
'''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
'''url''' - a page that you want

Under Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox intermittently will not open a new window - all I get is a grey screen, with a tiny part of my homepage displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== on or about June 26, 2010

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

How do I stop Google Account login from opening every time I open a new window?

Upon start up of Fire Fox or any time I click a link to open a new window or if I am in an application that opens a new window, the Google Account login screen keeps opening in a new tab. How do i stop this?

Hello,
This thread is currently unresolved but addresses an identical issue:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1030143
Thank you for using the Troubleshooter extension. Can you try disabling ''FromDocToPDF'', and restarting Firefox to see if that solves it? If it does not, try disabling ''Apollo Sync for Firefox''. Please let us know if one of these extensions is causing the problem so that users experiencing the same issue can quickly resolve theirs.
EDIT: Looking into ''Apollo Sync'', it seems to use Google Drive so is likely your culprit. You can try disabling this extension, or maintain your cookies for this site so that it keeps you signed in and hopefully then it will stop loading the page.

Every time I open a new Window, it opens with a second tab. With "my" top sites. How can I undo this? I made a screenshot, if necessary.

When I open a new window, it opens 2 tabs. First is the requested url. Second is a tab without an adress. The second tab looks like some kind of touchscreen buttons for smartphones? I guess, it's an Firefox feature.
I tried about:config and changed browser.newtab.url, checked starting window, etc. etc. Nothing helped.
How can I keep my Firefox from opening this tab? Please help!

While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''

Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

I have loaded firefox 4, and every time I open a new tab the curser ends up in the navigation area instead of the search box - very frustrating. It didn't used to happen.

cursor in search bar not in main page. Causes irritation when I start typing before I realis.
Problem not experienced in Firefox 3 (now running 4)

If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
-> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

I visited a website once, and now every time I open a tab, it tries to redirect to that website. How do I remove this "feature"?

Some website called MyStart keeps trying to redirect every blank tab I open to its website. I doesn't seem to work, but I get sick of seeing it try anyway, and it worries me because I don't recall giving it permission to do this. I added the SiteBlock plugin and added the URL it's trying to redirect me to on the blacklist, and even though now my new tabs are blank the way they're supposed to be, I still see the URL in the tab heading, so whatever this thing is, its still on my computer or in my browser. But I can't find it anywhere in my add-ons and extensions and such. It's also not in my programs on my computer.

There have been several threads about this add-on during the past few months...
It is important to check the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features to remove the source(s). These may include the following:
* Incredibar
* MyStart
* Web Assistant
After that, restart Firefox and start clearing out its settings as described in the following threads. Many users find it simpler to "Reset" than to take multiple steps to clean-up Firefox. That's up to you.

Why is that every time I start my computer it asks for my Yahoo email password? How can I fix this?

The computer keeps asking for my password for Yahoo. I already gave it but it asks over and over. This happens every time I start using the computer.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

I just recently updated to firefox 15 and almost every 5mins it crashes. when I open a new browser all i get is a blank white screen. Is there a way to fix this

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us additional crash report ID's that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash. ''The report ID you provided was an empty report, not enough data came through.''
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.

Itunes says it cannot ascess my ipad4 and it says there is a new version of ios mine is 7.0.3 how can i solve this please help

i have the new version of i tunes and it says it cannot ascess my ipad4 and asks to upgrade and reset how to solve this????

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
I recommend syncing to iTunes first as well as creating a backup - just in case something goes wrong.
Then you can update your iPad. Go to Settings > General > Softwware Update to start the process.

Why is Firefox opening a popup every time i open a new tab and even when i start Firefox?

Every time i open a new window or new tab im getting a popup with the Firefox logo at top left corner of the popup!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

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 to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
