If i have to close Firefox after attempting to load a page locks the machine up, what setting can i change where it will not automatically try to reload the page when i restard the browser?

Say i try to open a pdf link for example (although not limited to) and Firefox stops responding; if i close the browser and open it again, it will attempt to reload the same page that just locked it up. How do i turn this off? I get the "Well, this is embarrassing." error fairly often (after 'end task'-ing twice) :/
== This happened ==
A few times a week

What page crashes Firefox? On the "Well, this is embarrassing." page you could choose to restore all pages except for this "bad" one.
If I knew what page it is, maybe, I could help more.
You can also
Help->Report Broken Website...
Besides, you can also update Java.
If the problem is caused by JavaScript, you could install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 NoScript].

To change what pages are opened on each start-up/restart (whether a crash occurred or not), you can go to
Tools->Options->General->Homepage->You can change which page to use on start-up.

When I click "File", "Exit" or X in the upper right hand corner to close Firefox it starts using more than 90% CPU. I have to close Firefox by going to Taskmanager and click on the Process tab, select Firefox.exe and click on End Process.

I am using Windows XP.

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

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.

Itunes 10 imports cd tracks in alphabetical order only. What setting do I change so it imports the same order as the cd?

itunes 10 imports cd tracks in alphabetical order only. What setting can I change so that it will import cd tracks in the same order as on the cd? Any help would be appreciated! I have this issue on only 1 of my 2 macbook pro computers, so I'm guessing it is a setting issue--but I don't know where to find it.

The apparent order of a burned CD may depend upon how you have iTunes display it - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17827921

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
'''[[Firefox hangs]]'''
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit (Mozillazine article)]'''
'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Cannot close multible tabs, system freezes and have to close firefox, but when i have multible tabs open ,cannot close individual tabs.

after Firefox is loaded and open ,I open another tab. I can view the site but when finished I cannot close the tab and if I open other tabs I cannot close them either when finished, I have to close Firefox and reopen Firefox.

You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.
As for the Word downloads, see the changing downloads action section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+file+types

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, screen just shows blank.

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, when I click on the link the screen just goes to a blank blue screen.

If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.

I don't know what other side-effects it can create, but it solved my problem.

Very often when I click bookmarks, it won't work. I have to close firefox and reopen it and then usually bookmarks will open. What's wrong?

Basically, just as I said in the above question, frequently, bookmarks won't open when I click on it. If I close firefox and restart it, usually then I can access bookmarks. Is there anything that will fix this?

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
