Hello BoreOne,
I'm sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your Firefox settings.
Damn leprechauns are everywhere!
It seems like the damage isn't too big and we should be able to fix it easily...
Simply reset your profile settings (delete and create new) by following the intructions in the [[Managing profiles|managing profiles]] support article and perhaps [[How to clear the cache|clear your cache]]. This should normally and hopefully set you up!
If you still require assistance regarding this issue or have any more inquiries regarding the matter, please let me know in a reply below.
If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as ''Solution''.
Thank you for your valuable time and patience, and all your interest in Mozilla Firefox. Surf safe and have a great day!

Firefox opens blank tab every time a .pdf file is opened. How can keep Firefox from doing this?
A blank tab opens in Firefox every time I open a .pdf file. I've noticed several people have this issue but no sufficient response has been posted yet. It is incredibly annoying, especially since I may open multiple pdf files at once and when I return to Firefox there are several blank tabs open.
Are you using the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) or the Adobe Reader, either in Firefox or standalone?

It happened after Mozilla Firefox's plugin crashed. Whenever I tried right clicking the refresh button or a page in History, it no longer prompted me to "open in a new page." Instead, the box showing the menu bar, navigation bar, etc. showed up. How do I change it back?
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
How do I stop Safari (v. 6.0) from opening previous tabs every time I start it?
Each time I open Safari it opens all the tabs from my previous session. I've looked at every setting I can think of but can't find one that will stop this from happening. What am I missing? Is anyone else also having this problem and if so, what did you do to correct it?
And ofcourse I found the answer as soon as I posted the question (doesn't it always happen that way?). I went to Preferences - General - and checked the box "Close windows when quitting an application".

I cancelled bookmarks, and it still opens a tab every time I log in. Please make it stop!!!
I canceled 'x marks' and it still pops up whenever I open firefox. I'm sick of it!!!
What is the value of the pref plugins.update.notifyUser on the <b>about:config</b> page?
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily. -
I have been having this problem with Firefox 3.6 for the last several updates. I'm currently using FF 3.6.17.
I think the problem showed up with 3.6.14.
I know for sure that I had it with 3.6.15 because I hoped that 3.6.16 would fix it.Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
Some pdf & doc files won't download. The "You Have Chosen to Open" pop-up appears but when I hit 'Save File", it goes away and the file is not saved. The corrupted files show up in mac download file as .part but don't show up in ff download file. Tried suggestions in "Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows" on this website but none worked.
This is most likely Firefox's new "built in" PDF Viewer giving you the trouble.
First, in Firefox, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) in the address bar. This will open the Firefox configuration file. You'll see a warning. Click that you'll be careful, and open the configurer.
At the top there is a search bar. Type "js" (again, minus the quotes).
In the list of results you'll see pdfjsdisabled with a value of "false". Right click it and select Toggle to make it read "true".
Click Firefox>Preferences and under the Applications tab, scroll down to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click the drop down on the right side and choose "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
That should take care of it for you. -
I like to listen to books on my iPhone. I like music. It'd be SO NICE if I could continue on with the same story or the same song (or even the same artist / album) if I get interrupeted with a text or I decide to take a photo and send it to somebody. It seems like almost every time I take a photo and send it, I end up with a new new song playing. Or, if I'm in the middle of an audio book, suddenly have music playing when I turn back on the sound. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. I happened to mention it to somebody yesterday and she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. She also expressed her frustration. I'm running iOS 7. I didn't ask her what she's running. Anybody else want to chime in? Any fixes that anybody knows about?

Touchpad keeps freezing (left and right click work fine)
Hi, my touchpad keeps freezing randomly. I can still use the left and right click buttons and it eventually unfreezes after 10-40 seconds. Please tell me how to fix this. Thank you.

Safari keeps opening a new tab every time I click. How do I stop this? I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Can you please run EtreCheck: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6173

i currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application.
it is showing all my existing photos but will not let me click on any of them, nor will it allow me to import any new photos into iPhoto.
I am really worried that I cannot access all of my photos and even more worried as I need to back them up!!
HELP!!Try repair the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???
Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

We are using a web based service to register people's mood when they touch an NFC card against the tablet. Every time someone taps their card against it, it open up a new tab, and they then register the mood they are in.
We recently got to a situation where we had 150 tabs open which gives us concerns that at some point the tablet could just slow to a crawl or fall over.
The tablet is unmanned and so closing the tabs after every entry manually is not an option either.
Ideally we would like the browser not to open a new tab every time. Is this possible?
Thanks a lotYou should ask this on https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev instead of a end user forum. It may require building a custom APK of Firefox.

I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.
Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ -
