Upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 & Advanced tab in Options opens blank?

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

Advanced Tab in Options is Blank in FF7 & computer is way slower!

Two issues since the FF upgrade to 7.0.1 or whatever the most recent update was, my computer is running extremely slow, as I've seen many others with this issue as well, but don't know what the solution is, if there even is one?
But also I am unable to access the Advanced tab in options (it is blank) so I can't clear my cache. I read some options such as running in safe mode to see if add-ons were an issue and they aren't as far as I can tell.
I'd prefer to roll back to an earlier version but am wondering if I download FF 6, does it automatically replace FF 7? Or do I have to remove FF7 and if so I am not sure how to do that.
Need simple easy to follow instructions or resolutions. Thanks!

Yah, except with the new NSA revelations I want to set and/or verify my levels of encryption as I have in the past. Removing all encryption information leaves us all hanging. SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0 should be on for everyone while SSL 2.0 needs to be off forever. Is this the case? How would I know?
So, no, calling users morons (after reading the blog on this topic) and making a feature available for a purportedly 'only 2%' of users who care is not a sufficient argument. If Mozilla is truly committed to not working with the NSA, then encryption should be identified for all users of Firefox instead of completely hidden from view.
Guess I'll be searching through older versions of Firefox....sigh

Firefox crashed and after restarting, tabs i had open were gone and weren't in the history either. It didn't give me the option of restoring, how do i get them back?

Sorry , you probably can not get them back.
You may have bookmarked them, or have them as part of the History previously stored and still searchable, but unfortunately otherwise you are unlikely to get them back. Firefox does to a certain extent back up bookmarks automatically but not the history.
If you get problems with crashes see [[firefox crashes]]

Since upgrading to Firefox V5 I do not have the option to manage bookmarks e.g. import and export html

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox when I click on the bookmarks tab the option to manage my bookmarks is not available. Can this be repaired or will I have to do a new install of Firefox. If so will the new install automatically keep my current bookmarks or will I lose them. I cannot back them up because it is not giving me the option to export html.

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

I upgraded to Firefox 6 and now when I try to open it, a window says there's already a copy of Firefox open and there can only be one at a time but there is no other copy!

I was trying to update my Firefox profile from my old computer and it didn't work and as I was in the middle of that process I was prompted to upgrade to Firefox 6 which I did. But now when I try to open Firefox, it won't let me because it says there's another copy already open. I have taken everything related to Firefox except the brand new version of it I just downloaded off my computer and I still get that message. What should I do?

I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

I have upgraded to Firefox 5 and now the Customize toolbar option seems to be disabled. Any ideas how to fix this as I've now lost all my toolbar buttons?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.01 and now 5 the Cusomise Toolbar function does not appear when selected. No error message appears and there is no resonse whatsoever. I am running on an XP sp3 desktop. Firefox 5 seems to run fine on my Windows 7 laptop but the desktop just doesn't want to work.

Many users have restored the functionality of Google toolbar by installing the '''''Add-on Compatibility Reporter''''' extension. Google needs to test the toolbar in Firefox 5 and change one line of their code to make it compatible with Firefox 5.

IN my latest download, 30.0, whenever I open Firefox I get all the tabs I had open when I closed it. I would like only my home pages to open. I have gone to opt

I have gone to 'options' many times to set it to always open with my home page, but it continues to open with the tabs I had open when I closed Firefox.I there a problem with Firefox 30.0?

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Firefox can't forget a tab; clear history never blank.

Hello. My Firefox browser is patched to latest version; the problem is that Firefox can't forget one specific tab. Whenever I clear all history it asks about that tab on next start. Cleaning with Auslogics Browser Care doesn't help at all. Though, it cleans history, but the problem remains - that old tab that can't be forgotten by my Firefox. I was thinking of reinstalling my Firefox browser, but I don't want to set up all the parameters again... it's the least thing to do for me. If you know how to fix it, please help. It's a blank tab. Firefox browser can't forget it nor erase it to the hell out forever. It's stuck. How to fix it - I simply don't know.......... :(

In what way does it ask about this tab?
Is this tab opened automatically?
Did you check the home page setting to be sure it isn't set as the home?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Does this web page come up if you open the about:config page via the location bar and search for this domain?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

How do I open the browser to my homepage instead of all the previous tabs after telling firefox to automatically save the tabs that were open when I closed the browser?

After telling my browser to 'not ask this question again' when it asked my if I wanted to save all the tabs before closing firefox, I now just want firefox to open to my homepage when I open it. Can you tell me how to change the settings to undo my previous command?

Look here:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"

How do I stop Firefox from opening the Firefox start page as a tab when I open the browser?

New Dell Laptop and new Firefox download. Have used Firefox for several years. This time it loads the Firefox Start Page automatically as a tab every time I open the browser. I can't find how to turn it off. I did not set it up to do this intentionally.
Frank

See the [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] article for details of how to solve this.

Click Firefox shortcut - 4 secs delay WITH white screen, then firefox loads, also every new tab flashes a white blank page fOR half a sec.

Firefox 31, Windows 8.1, AVG, Spybot, dusabked addins ni change, used several suggestions on internet, nothing works. changed proxy settings to manual 127.0.0.1 and port as suggested - no change, could I have an NSA reroute of firefox?

Before doing anything I started Tor Browser Bundle, then exited. Started up Firefox – no 4 secs delay, very minor delay but no white page at all it seemed. Then clicked on the Open New Tab (x) and saw a white flash then the new tab – again a .5 sec delay or less before the new tab appeared.
Shutdown computer. Restarted and clicked on Fireforx shortcut. No blank white page anymore and no delay except for a very minor one.
But still had the white page flash when loading a new tab from the small x on the current page tab. Saw a white flash, then the new tab loaded. Shut down computer, restarted same problem with the new tab click on the small x - .5 sec or less white flash then tab loads.
Went into Firefox Add-Ons and disabled a number of items. Surprise no white flash on loading new tab. Decided to enable AVG PrivacyFix 5.0.11 – miracle, no white flash at all on clicking the small x on the current tab. loaded veryfast no delay there.
Will alert AVG of this issue. But still very surprised that the original main issue of having a 4 secs delay with a completly whtie screen with nothing on it except white disappeared after launching Tor Web Browser throws me for a loop.
Have not tried BlueHell yet and wonder why I should now in addition to the fact that AVG is certainly far superior to it. But if Bluehell does a better job than AdBlocker, willing to try it.
Problem appears solved – Why did Tor fix main issue?

When I close firefox, I want all the tabs I had open to come back when I return. How can I have this happen?

I just want firefox to remember what I had open before I closed the tab

In the Tools menu select Options to open the options dialog. Select the General panel and change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

Win 7 Firefox 3.6.13, new tab won't open when clicked, on desktop or laptop.

I cannot open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.13, running Windows 7. It doesn't work on my desktop, or my laptop. When I click on the "+" to add a tab, or right click on it and choose "New Tab", nothing happens.

I don't have an AskToolbar, nor a Yahoo toolbar. Between updating Firefox to 3.6.13, and MS Patch Tuesday last night, I cannot use right click to open a new window. I can open a link using right click and 'in new Tab' -- but I don't LIKE tabs! Lots of links on various pages won't open at all (it may be all of the links, I haven't tried ALL of them).
I tried reverting to 3.6.12, and the same problem occurred. Does that mean it came from Microsoft? Re-updated to 3.6.13 and it remains broken. So frustrated I want to cry!

After upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, it no longer will open external links - anything from emails, IMs, databases won't open - how can I fix this?

No links from external programs will open - this is usually kind of ok since I can cut and paste, but some links from databases don't provide copy-able links, meaning I cannot access information via Firefox.

Hi BladedxRayne,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!
