TitanTV listings page NOW affects my Firefox. I'd commonly run it -multiple tabs- with no problem at all. Now-- Hanging!; flash crash,etc.. What jusT changed??
(Using WiFi and all-- library computers, etc.. I got in the habit of keeping multiple tabs open. I came to Firefox because it handled that usage much, much better than any version of IE. Running the multiple tabs of the future television listings made sense and Was very convenient.. Was. Now it seems -after eliminating other possibilities* that the TitanTV page is the cause of my Firefox Hanging.. (when open at all It slows even Other pages' scrolling..?! ) So yeah-- 'Hanging,' unresponsive page, flash/shockwave -type crashes etc. ,etc. Obviously..I don't Have to use the page.. or run it on this browser but What ALL Of A Sudden is causing this to occur?? Is it the ad content on there somehow? I'd love to find out at this point... and I do prefer this to the other browsers. [*And did follow the posted usual troubleshoots as well as uninstall/re-install on both the Firefox and antivirus (Avast), clearing the cache memory...] I'd love it if I could solve this new mystery here.... Thanks! )
Tom, <br />
I am glad it is working again after following Moses's advice.
You say give us volunteers better ammunition, would help with troubleshooting. Well one thing you could have done along those lines was to follow the prompts to include full troubleshooting information in your question.
You have marked the thread solved and so it appears running in safe mode with plugins disabled solved the issue for you. That is commonly seen in searches as a troubleshooting step because it is useful. Firefox is highly customisable something people like, but the downside is all the various addons do not always work well in every situation and combination.
The action was only intended as a troubleshooting step, but you may well have more than one single issue here and may need further help sorting that out. I appreciate you are frustrated & not swearing '''at''' ''Moses'' but you are probably more likely to find help if you tone down the language.
I can not be sure yet but probably most of you problems are not directly related to the upgrade of Firefox from Fx28 to Fx29.

After updating to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it no longer picks up tracking cookies. These cookies that were picked up with firefox 16.0.02 what have you changed? Further I am getting sick of these updates - at least tell us users what has changed in new versions.
Did you update Norton to the latest version to get support for Firefox 17?

Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences!
Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences! Unchecking and rechecking the box does not help, it's as if Firefox is ignoring the option to warn when closing multiple tabs.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
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 History > Restore Previous Session to get back the previous session.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" -
So everything on this page relates to Apple products. I am running a Sony laptop with Windows and as soon as I install iCloud desktop iTunes has stopped working. The only time I ever needed it. GREAT! Do you do this on purpose?
The latest version of iTunes tends to act up occassionaly. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and remove and reinstall iTunes. This will not affect your music library, apps or other content in iTunes. Make sure you follow the steps exactly.
Also, just copying the ringtone will not get it into your phone. iPhone ringtones have an extension of m4r, and you have to first take the Media player file and covert it to an AAC version. From there you need to change the extension from m4a to m4r. If you cannot see file extensions in Windows Explorer, which is actually the default action, go into Organize>Folder and search options, then hit the View tab, and then remove the checkmark by hide file extensions from known file types. After you have created the m4a version and changed the file extension, you can double-click on it and it should show up in the Tones folder in iTunes. From there, sync the phone and it should show up in the list of ringtones. -
I have just updated to Yosemite, but now I can't get the custom short-keys to work.
In Mavericks I had no problem whatsoever, but now even after googeling and restart no solution.
Does anyone have the problem? All the other shortcuts work!Hi Thomas,
I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
Thanks for identifying this issue!
In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
Cheers,

Since the update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.
G'day again, I've also lost the option of a 'Stop loading' or 'Refresh' button.

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks
If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Multiple tabs with flash or heavy js crash firefox
Has been may years already that this keeps happening to me if i open around 150+ tabs (depends on the content of the tabs) or if i open 20+ tabs of youtube (might happen with other video platforms too but i haven't tested that) makes firefox crash after a brief amount of time. I've been using the same profile since mid 2012 but I do make clean new installs of firefox when a new whole version comes out. My pc hardware i think is more than suitable to be able to have that ammount of tabs open (12 GB RAM triple channel ddr3 1ghz intel i7 950 @ 3.07ghz 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 series on w7 x64).
I tried creating a new clean profile and opened 50 youtube tabs have all of them playing at the same time and even though at the start there was some kind of slowness for the firt 10 seconds then all was perfect and I tested it for like 5 mins and it didnt crash. Back with my profile I used the about:addons-memory to see fit here was any leak of memory from the addons but the addons consumption was really low. Although firefox itself with 150 tabs uses like between 900 and 1400mbs of memory. I've tried disabling all the add-ons and then enabling some to see if there was a conflictive add-on but i couldn't find whats causing the problem so i wanted to ask you guys if you could lend me a hand so i can finally can open as many tabs as i want without having to fear a crash.
Here are some crash reports

xmarksI had/still have an issue with FF which is virtually identical to this (se https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/988435?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s).
Mostly on script/flash heavy pages (like YouTube, Google Play, Twitter, etc) with only a small number of tabs will result in nearlly 1-1.2GB RAM usage and eventually crash. Having looked through older crash reports here is a list of the most common problems (Note: I recently tried a fresh install so don't have the Crash Report Numbers for these anymore):
Crash Cause
js::ScriptSource::hasSourceData() x 3
NS_ABORT_OOM(unsigned int) x 5
gfxContext::PushClipsToDT(mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget*) x 10
js::AutoCompartment::AutoCompartment(js::ExclusiveContext*, JSObject*) x 7
Of Which
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ x 21
EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT x 5
I used to be able to run FF with almost 60+ Add-ons up to 60+ Tabs and still have it work more or less OK; obviously it could be rather sluggish and was eating into 1GB RAM or so, but it at least worked. Now I can barely run it with 53 Add-ons and less than 10 Tabs for around 30 mins to 1 hour before an inevitable crash. -
Cannot get multiple tabs with multiple web pages
Hi, My plain vanilla firefox browser in Win 8 has stopped giving me multiple tabs when I access more than 1 web url. Before say I access 5 sites, then for each site I get 5 tabs so I can easily switch between web pages. Now they all appear under 1 tab only. Ticking the box in Tools/Options/Tabs/open new window in a new tab instead, doesn't work...very frustrating....any ideas? Many thanks
I'm not sure I understand the change, so let me mention a few things and you can reply with comments and clarifications.
How are you directing links to new tabs: do you use one of these methods?
* right-click > Open Link in New Tab
* Ctrl+left-click
* middle-click (using a mouse scroll wheel)
Other issues:
* Is Firefox's tab bar not showing or behaving strangely? (Please describe in more details if applicable.)
* If the problem is that the Windows Task Bar is not working the way it used to, check the ''last'' setting on the Tabs panel of the Options dialog: "Show tab previews in the Windows Taskbar" to see whether that is what got turned off.
* If the problem is that Google results used to automatically open in a new tab but now they open in the same tab, you need to select "new window" in Google search preferences: https://www.google.com/preferences -
Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.13 version, I am thinking it would be better to back up to a previous version of Firefox that did work! What was the latest version as of October 2010?
Thanks to some hints in several strings, I went back to the Control Panel in XP, clicked on Sounds and Devices, clicked on Audio, then changed the default device to the Realtek HD Audio output I have on my computer. Now I can hear You Tube video sound and other Internet audio fine, at least for now. I will come back if it stops again. Thanks to all who posted.

I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?
I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly? -
Why wont Firefox 5 warn me when closing multiple tabs? The box in settings is checked.
After I downloaded Firefox 5 it no longer warns me when I'm closing multiple tabs. The box is checked in settings for tabs but it still wont do it. This feature worked fine in Firefox 4. Can this be a glitch?
@NoriMori and auscompgeek
We are not talking about saving tabs when closing; we're talking about the warning "You are about to close X tabs" that usually shows up when you press the browser's close button. Now when I press the button, everything closes; no warning. I'm fortunate that Firefox does have a "restore previous session" button when you reopen Firefox. -

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)Hello Susanne.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
