On first open, FF opens tabs for some addons websites

when addons are updated, FF restarts and the websites of the updated addons open in tabs to let u know those addons were updated and to be able to check their website fa further info (changelog, etc)...
however firefox is now opening addon sites (first only from download helper and now including tab mix plus), even tho those addons werent updated...
i have a screenshot i can send if its possible...
this only happens when firefox first opens, as long as its open, any other instances of firefox open correctly with just a blank tab and no other website tabs...
i downgraded to FF v16 bc i cant get tab mix plus in 17 and i hate how firefox handles tabs, so i will not upgrade until tab mix plus works with v 17...as an aside...i always use the previous version of FF until tab mix plus works with whatever th current version is...

Two parts, keeps opening tab to tell me I'm updated and also a tab for some addon checker, didn't do this before.

First opening tab tells me my firefox is up to date.
Second one is for some kind of addon's checker which doesn't appear to work and opens each time I open firefox. I wish both to go away.

I'm getting messages of "script issues" when I am using an open tab for FACEBOOK.

I have an open tab, for MOZILLA FIREFOX AND another tab of mozilla firefox for FACEBOOK. As I'm using facebook, it starts running slower and slower, sticking in place and then finally,... a notice of a "script issue". I've had well over a dozen script issues, with firefox crashing..........

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

Question
The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

Why can't I open a new tab for the same website? Want to disable 'switch to tab'.

I used to be able to open multiple tabs for the same website on Firefox 3.xx. I could download files from one tab and work from another. How can I disable the 'switch to tab' function?

You can disable it by using the Switch to Tab no more add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more

Why does plugin box freeze up when I click on an options tab for an addon?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794712''
Win 7/ 64bit. When I click on the options tab for an addon the box freezes up. The X in the upper right will not work. I have to to go windows task manager to end the box. But the firefox browser works fine. Its only when I hit the options tab for an addon. I can disable, install, or uninstall with no problems.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14
When I click on a mailto: link, Firefox freezes. This is new for me as of 3.6.14 (not sure if it existed in prior versions because I hadn't clicked a mailto: in a while).

One of my app tabs for some reason opened in a new window; how do I get it back w/other app tabs on original window?

I have 5 frequently-used websites on app tabs on my Firefox browser window. I've had these since I first saw the update about app tabs, and I have never before had a problem with it.
Today, I was working in one tab, and realized I needed to check something on the website at another app tab. I have done that sort of thing many times. But for some reason today, when I clicked on that other app tab, there seemed to be a long wait like it was working hard to make the switch, then suddenly a new Mozilla Firefox window opened with the only tab being the "another app tab" that I had clicked on.
That particular app tab is now missing from my original browser window.
I must've clicked something by accident or hit another key while I was clicking with the mouse on the app tab that I wanted to look at. I have no idea why it opened in its own window and disappeared from my app tabs on the original window.
How do I get that app tab back with the others on the original browser window? Is there any way other than simply starting over and re-pinning that site as an app tab?
If I have to re-pin it on the original window, is there a way to make that app tab the 1st in sequence the way it was before it opened in its own window? It is my most-commonly-used app tab, so I'd really like it to be the first in line, so to speak.
Thanks.

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I had, until today, quite a lot of tabs open in firefox. Now I have none. What the hell happened? How do I get them back? History wont help because some have been open a for some time.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

Suggestion: Allow users to attach a note to an open tab for later reference.

I just wanted to make a quick suggestion: I work with about 25 tabs open, and sometimes need to append a quick note so that I remember what I needed to do with the info on the tab. It would be really handy if I were able to type a brief note that was attached to the tab for later reference. Perhaps a window that appears if I right-click on the tab and select "Append Note". A pop up appears where I can type a note, and then disappears when I click "save". I can recall the note by right-clicking on the tab and selecting "Reveal Note". Maybe each tab that has a note could have a colored bar across the top of the tab to indicate there is a note.
Keep up the good work; thank you!
-Cary Snowden

That's an interesting idea.
Currently, the closest thing would be the extensions that allow you to create a "Post-it style" note associated with a web page. It's not specific to the tab, so if you went back and forth in history, the note wouldn't be visible on the other pages. So not as useful in that sense.
Still, one of these might be helpful for the time being until someone can work on something tab-specific. Note: I haven't tried these myself:
* Internote: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/internote/
* Sticky Notes: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sticky-notes/

Feature Request: Can I save all of my open tabs to some kind of template file so I can re-open all of my tabs at once at a later time from somewhere else?

I'm currently reading 10~15 tabs of pages, and I'd like to take them with me on the road, so I can finish reading all the contents at a later date/place/machine. Is there someway to just save my tabs to like a file, then email it to myself and goto another computer with firefox and run that file and go back to reading all the websites and links I'm currently browsing?

Perhaps the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use the Session Manager extension. It allows you to easily recover your previously opened tabs from a crashed Firefox session, but it also has a very nice "Session Save" option, which allows you to save all your open tabs to a single very small file, and open it again from any Firefox that has Session Manager installed. I just used this to save my open tabs from before a reformat into my fresh install of Windows.
Another option is using Firefox Sync, but it is best if you only use it on PCs you own, otherwise you could end up syncing your passwords and bookmarks and open tabs onto someone else's computer where they might do who knows what.

How do I use two or more images in a project in Elements 13? Every time I add a new image, it opens a new tab for some reaon.

Hi Radiation Mac,
The accounts that I want to delete are hidden from the Users in Control Panel.
When I go into Finder and click on the User folder, I have two guests account (only one is visible in the Users in Control Panel) and two admin accounts (me and again, only one is visible in the Users in Control Panel). The duplicate admin account is messing up with writing/reading/permissions now and I can't figure out what to do.

Why do I get "Select Input Method" dialog when trying to open tabs on some sites?

This is what I'm experiencing with Firefox mobile on an Android tablet.
On some sites, when I click a button which should open a new tab, I get the "Select Input Method" dialog box. First, I don't know why this dialog is popping up. Second, it is an empty dialog; there is nothing to select, only a heading that says "Select Input Method". When I touch the heading, I get another "Select Input Method" dialog, this time with "Android Keyboard" as the sole item to be selected. It is already selected. Touching it or backing up to dismiss it leaves me on the page I started on. Touching the original button which should open a new tab simply repeats the entire dialog sequence. Backing up from the original, empty dialog, does the same thing.
Once or twice, by magic or something, I was able to get the page to open the new tab. But I cannot confirm what sequence of selecting or backing up out of the dialogs may have led to the correct behavior.
Any help would be appreciated.

kbrosnan,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
My wife is working on a project so I'm a little light on details. Apparently she figured out that her Javascript is calling ShowModalDialog and this was what was causing the Select Input Method dialog to open. I don't fully understand the details but she's looking for a different way to do this. I believe she said she subsequently found out that the Firefiox mobile browser doesn't support ShowModalDialog.
She's new to mobile web development (and I know nothing about it) so she's kind of feeling her way. If you have a good resource for how the FF Android mobile browser differs from the normal desktop browser, that wouldbe a big help, I think. Otherwise, thanks for you reply and she'll keep plugging away discovering what she needs to change in her program to make it work for mobile.
Thanks.
