Updated Firefox and lost all toolbars, Hotmail, EVERYTHING!! How do I fix this?

Updated Firefox last evening. Got up this morning to a whole new page on the computer. Clicked on Firefox and got a blank page with just a Firefox logo and a Google search line. There are no toolbars for me to use to get to my e mail, pictures or other data.
I clicked on the introductory and info arrows and it keeps telling me to click on the tool bar....there isn't one. How do I get my programs back? Where is my tool bar? I see a lot of other complaints like this, so this problem should have been fixed BEFORE you offered the update.
I want my original opening page and tool bar and my Hotmail back. PLEASE!

Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Since updating firefox, the virginia gov site times out. no problem with other sites

Since updating firefox a couple day ago, I get 'The connection has timed out
The server at www.tax.virginia.gov is taking too long to respond''
when I try to get on that site. I had to email my payment info to a friend to pay my sales tax. (She could get on the site) I have no problem getting on other sites.

Hello,
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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

After new update firefox grays out all the time; What do I do?

Plus it is just not responding, freezing when I type, pausing often. I have nothing conflicting running, to my knowledge and the blued e works fine.
This has happened since which ever last download you all sent over.
Oh so it is both hanging and crashing, and delaying even as I type this.
If I recall it said another program of firefox is running and I would have to shut down to start a new one
Thanks, Dlyn

What is "shorting out"? Shorting usually refers to an electrical problem.
You need to provide more info on your problem.

I updated Firefox and got message that it wasn't compatible with Skype, is this correct?

Please see message above. I hope to continue using Skype & want to know why I got the message when updating Mozilla Firefox that it was not compatible.
Thanks

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Since I updated Firefox (around 3/8/11) I have had issues with logging in to my Comcast email. Comcast says that it is a software incompatibility, perhaps Firefox.

I received an automated download of a new FF version around March 8. I immediately began having issues with my email accounts on Comcast.net using my desktop (Windows 7). I do not have these issues with my laptop (FF 3.6.3, 4/29/10). Comcast spent almost 2 hours with me on several sessions, and demostrated that I can reach the email account through a work around, but not directly. They said that this was a software issue with some software package interfering with my login. Comcast reps could enter my email with no issues, so it has to be at my end. I removed a recent version of Adobe Flashplayer which had autoloaded around the same time as FF; when I tried to reload Flashplayer today, it told me that it was incompatible with FF.

You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
 Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
 Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

I lost all my bookmarks when I updated Firefox

When I updated Firefox I lost all my bookmarks

Hi there, have you already tried the solutions in [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]? If not please check it out. If those instructions don't work, we need to know if your bookmarks are still in a backup file.
Is it possible you ended up in a new profile when you updated? Did you get a message about your profile being in use? This case is also covered in that article.
If nothing helps let us know if your bookmarks are in a backup and what version you upgraded from and if you used the automatic update or if you installed a new version by hand. Also if you have any add-ons installed.

I've updated Firefox today and unfortunately my previous bookmarks disappeared . how can I retrieve my previous bookmark list?

I updated Firefox today and all my previous bookmark list disappeared. I tried to use the "import and backup" tab and followed the directions of the Firefox page to backup and restore my previous bookmarks. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Could you please help me with possible advice/guidance on how to resolve this? This is the second time this happens, always when Firefox receives updates..

You appear to be using the Developer Edition / Aurora pre-release version, which creates a new Profile upon installation or update on the Aurora channel. Open '''Options > General''' and tick or untick the box at the top which says '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time'''. Once you restart ''[as told to]'' you will "toggle" over to the other Profile, where your bookmarks are - ''hopefully''.
If you don't like "updates", why are you using an '''alpha-2''' version that receives an update every day?

How Do I Get Rid of all these Pop-Up Windows?

Somewhere along the line, something seems to have added itself to Safari, so now every other new window is a sales site. For example, just in the last couple of clicks I've had two different pop-ups for Mac cleaning utilities (MacKeeper is CONSTANTLY appearing) and even a telephone support line. What can I do to get rid of all these pop-ups? Is it a virus? I admit I don't keep as close an eye on that sort of thing as I probably should. They are driving me to the point where I'm about to try Firefox just to see if I can get rid of some of them, but I like Safari so much better so I'd like to solve the problem if I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

I use the latest Firefox 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. After a day I updated my Adobe Flash Player, suddenly it crashed and showed a blue screen. Please help me.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. Adobe Flash Player version is 11.3.300.265. A few minutes after opened the Firefox, suddenly it crashed and a blue screen showed up, it says there are unexpected error occured and forced my computer to be stopped. I need to restart the computer to see either it still show the blue screen or it just fine. After restarted, I use the Firefox once again, but this time, after about 30 minutes, it crashed again. The same blue screen showed up. As I expected, the new Adobe Flash Update crashes with the Firefox 13.0.1. Really need a solution here. Thank you.

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.

Updated Firefox 18.0.2: Homepage and all other websites will not load anymore, tab remains a blank page. I tried resetting, checking firewall, to no avail.

When I start firefox, instead of loading the homepage, firefox displays a blank page with "New Tab" as its title. If I try to open a new tab and try to enter ANY website it will show it's loading for a second, stop, and remain at the same situation, a blank page with "New Tab" as its title. Other browsers work perfectly fine.
I tried running firefox in safe mode, disabling all plug-ins and extensions, checking my firewall, resetting firefox... all to no avail. Please help!

hello, when this is happening immediately after an update, then it's almost certainly your firewall that is blocking the new version. please try to remove all rules for firefox from your firewall settings and let it detect the new version again. you may also want to try restarting your pc once...
[[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated.

I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated. Now I can't even remove the program at all. Why is this happening?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
