The beta page and Test Pilot page come up EVERY time I use Firefox. Same information so why not allow us to bypass it after the 1st or 2nd or 3rd reading?

That is not normal behaviour, for possible causes see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].

How do I fix: The Plugin Check comes up EVERY time I start Firefox, AND I've installed Adobe Acrobat over 3 times but it still shows up as outdated

I crammed the info into the subject line, but to repeat...
Every time I start Firefox, the Plugin Check runs. Every ... single ... time. Very annoying. How do I get this to stop?
AND
I installed Adobe Acrobat at least 3 times, but it still shows up as "outdated". Obviously, it only truly installed once, but I tried clicking the button in vain hope that that will fix it.
But really, I simply don't want the Plugin Check to start every time.
thx

Alas, I already tried setting it to False (read it online somewhere) and it doesn't work. Perhaps if you could give guidance on why the Adobe install isn't completing, that would solve the plug-in check issue... Fingers crossed.

Seem to have two versions of Firefox on my computer and I keep getting asked to help Firefox every time I use Firefox

I have two versions of Firefox on my computer and every time I use Firefox I keep being asked to help Firefox by answering a question about the product.

Which two versions?

Firefox will not keep the "no proxy" setting. I have to select every time I load Firefox. How can I get it to keep the setting?

I have to select the 'no proxy' setting every time I load Firefox. It will not keep the setting. I cannot find a way to get it to retain that information.

Hi,
Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved see this.] To open your profile folder: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''.
You can also try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart'''. This is the same as deleting prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], which erases all the manually set options as well as those set by extensions.

Two add-ons update every time I open Firefox; same versions, over and over.

NoScript and Download Helper launch updates every time I open Firefox (latest ver). If I close browser, they launch again immediately.

''FredMcD [[#answer-716532|said]]''
<blockquote>
Try this, remove both. Restart Firefox. Any problem? Now install '''one'''
add-on from its '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''.
Restart. Any problem? Now do the other add-on.
</blockquote>
Thanks, Fred. Tried that and tried it again, restarting between attempts. No dice. Firefox still wants to download both every time. I can even apply my license to Download Helper. It runs while Firefox is open, but tries to reinstall DLH next time I open Firefox.

Firefox 3.6.10 update won't load on restart (tried many times) and exits after warning to restart again - how to disable warning so don't have to start twice every time I use Firefox?

I regret agreeing to download Firefox 3.6.10 update, as it is somehow corrupted, and will not load when I restart. Subsequently, every time I start Firefox, it warns "Update Ready to Install", then when I don't restart (if I restart, it won't load) it exits, and I have to start Firefox a second time. Then it works without the warning, but when I exit and start Firefox again, the warning returns and the cycle repeats. This is such a nuisance I have gone back (reluctantly) to Explorer. Is there anyway for me to get rid of this corrupted update and go back to before I downloaded the fateful update?

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

I use speeddial addon and it now keeps going off every time I close firefox and I need to reinstall it every time. What can I do to stop this happening? Thanks!

My homepage now says
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: chrome://speeddial/content/speeddial.xul
Line Number 1, Column 1
every time I open firefox.
I then have to reinstall speeddial every time I start up. This never used to happen before and I don't think I've changed any settings.

Been in touch with the author of the product and got the following reply:
The problem is the SiteAdvisor extension that McAfee installs; go to Tools > Add-ons, in the resulting panel select "Extensions", locate SiteAdvisor, click on it to select, and then click the "Disable" button; Speed Dial will work perfectly after that.
I already contacted them to attempt to fix the problem, but no reply so far. The problem happens before any Speed Dial code is executed, so I don't think I can fix it on my side.
Don't have the problem any more, note I had a McAfee update just before the problem started happening.

How do I remove the "Restore Session" page that comes up every time I open Firefox, Even by quitting it properly?

Ever since I upgraded to v20 of Firefox a problem has occurred where I will close Firefox properly (close browser and then quit application as I am on a Mac) but when I open it again I will get a message. This message is "Oh this is embarrassing..." and try to get me to reopen my tabs I had before. This will also happen if I have just one tab open and then close it. I was wondering if there is a way to fix it!

Hi susiqw, it's hard to see when the text is all written as a single sentence, but the steps are:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false.

Entering description of event into iCal, pasted too much text into event, responded with The server responded with an error. Preferences is greyed out, and window pop up comes up every time I open iCal and doesn't go away. Force quit, still opens. Help?

While pasting event description into iCal, accidently pasted too much text, causing "The server responded with an error" pop up. This pop us includes the event description, but because of the mass amount of text, the window shoots off the screen to the bottom, so if there was an exit red "x" available, it isn't visible or accessible. The iCal>preferences is greyed out and I have force quit and it pops up each time I use iCal. Is this even fixable?

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?

Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.

Crystal Reports scheduling disregard the default values and requires prompts to be answered every time.

Hi guys,
When scheduling a Crystal report, the page to configure the prompt answers does not have any prompts answered by default - they all appear as "[EMPTY]". This means that any required prompts must be answered during configuration of the alert schedule. Since prompt is required and the default value (which is equivalent to not answering the prompt) is not available in the selection list.
Is there any way around it?
Ideally I would like the prompts to keep the default values, so I could schedule the report for all the prompt answers (Whole list of value) instead of having at least one prompt value.
Is there any configuration in crystal reports or on database side that could help me resolve the issue.

First off, Thank you for your replies!
Rabeb SLIMANI, we can't use universes by user requirement. If we could, it would have to be through IDT (Information Design Tool) but, nonetheless, the users want a direct BICS connection between BEx and WebI.
Victor Gabriel Saiz Castillo, we can't do that because the users want to choose between accessing the published instances or refreshing the reports on demand.
The way i see it, it would take a second set of BEx query + WebI report to provide both functionalities (one for ready for input, another for not ready for input). Am I correct?
@Sathish Kumar (sorry, i can't tag you right), i was checking with the BW team and we already have the logic for If left null, populate with Customer Exits.
But they are currently mandatory, so we will change them to optional and test the behavior.
If you have any other ideas, they are more than welcome! I will keep you posted on the outcome!
Best regards,
Francisco

How do I disable the MP3Tube tool bar when Firefox opens? I have already unchecked it in the views menu, under toolbar. It disappears when I do that, but comes back every time I reopen Firefox.

When I log on to Firefox, the home page displays a tool bar called "MP3 Tube" powered by Yahoo. I would like to remove that toolbar permanently from my start up page. I have tried to uncheck it in the View menu under Toolbars, but it reappears every time I log off and log back on to Firefox.

You're welcome

What the he// is going on with yahoo weather? Every time I use it I get a different city and state. Not my weather

The problem continues with yahoo weather.
Is there something else I can use for desk top weather??

I have had this same problem since Firefox updated the other day. Prior to the update, my home page Weather panel showed my local weather (Santa Clarita, California) and major international cities. My Weather panel now shows Richardson Texas, but I live in Santa Clarita California, and despite changing it a number of times and doing the locate my address thing, it always reverts to Richardson Texas every time I open my browser now.
This is a First World Problem I know, but it is still irritating. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I just tried the suggestion above and went to "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/forecastfox-fix-version/" and added it as far as I know, but don't see the accuweather/forecastfox add on anywhere on my home page. This is getting silly. Where is it supposed to be located?
Cheers

Scam popups full pages interfering every time I use Firefox

I have a list of a few of the scam pages. They are not just popups but whole pages covering the page I'm in and I can't always quit them but have to shut down Firefox. I have blocked everything I can find and it has no effect.
I have asked for help some time ago for this but no response. I'm a student and need a good browser but I have been putting up with others because I can't use Firefox.
I have a Mac, 10.6.8, and Office 2011.
Surely someone can help with this.
Thanks

Go to the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good add blocker.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

I recently downloaded DOSBOX (a DOS emulator). I have since uninstalled the file and removed it from my download history, yet every time I use Firefox, I get a pop-up to save the file (re-download) again. How do I fix it?
