  • When closing Firefox 29, it remains active as process even if there is any open windows. So I have to use close process from Application management.

    OS-Win 7 Home Edition
    When I close Firefox 29 (just installed) the firefox.exe *32 process remains active and I must close it from task manager.
    Otherwise when I try to run it again I get the message:
    "Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close ...."
    No such problem with previous version 28
    Regards
    Riccardo

    For those that have the problem after the update or after changing the ''seer'' preference please set Firefox to NOT delete history at closedown
    # Use new Button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] -> Preferences -> <br />|Privacy|Firefox will : [Remember History v]
    # Does that help and allow you to restart ok ?
    * Note
    *# You should be able to open and use Private Browsing Windows ok still. You may need to close those windows before closing down Firefox though. <br />See [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    *# This hang or close down issue is a known bug in Firefox 29 that has yet to be fixed. With luck it may be fixed in the next Firefox version. <br /> Note the known issues mentioned in <br /> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0.1/releasenotes/

  • When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

    When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

    This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
    Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

  • When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

    When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

    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.

    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).
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Browsing History

  • I accidently checked the don't ask me again button when closing firefox, how do i uncheck it?

    I accidentally checked the box that says don't ask me again when it prompted if i wanted to save and quit. However, i need it to ask me this so how do i un-check the box?

    First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.
    Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose '''Reset''' (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
    ## browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    ## browser.warnOnQuit
    ## browser.warnOnRestart

  • Saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit Preferences Privacy "I can't find prefernces under the edit menu"

    Firefox V30.0
    I saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit > Preferences > Privacy "I can't find references under the edit menu" so cannot attempt the fix offered?

    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    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.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

    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 MAY I SAVE MULTIPLE-OPENED BROWSING TABS WHEN CLOSING FIREFOX, PLEASE?

    When closing Firefox I would like to be able to leave some tabs open so my next session just carries on, as though I had left a real $5.00 note bookmark in an ole-fashioned book.

    Firefox 4 automatically saves your tabs and windows when you exit to restore them just click the Firefox button>History menu>Restore Previous Session and it will open your previous tabs and windows in addition to your current tabs and windows.

  • Trying to upgrade to V.8, cannot open Firefox. Have uninstalled, loaded 8 again then 7 , 9 and finally 6. The program will not run. Operating Windows 7. When I try to uninstall, I am asked to 'close Firefox' but it isn't open ( Task Manager confirms).

    Firefox 8 won't open. The Windows 'wheel' which indicates a program is opening spins for about 5 seconds and then stops and nothing happens. I have spent several hours uninstalling and then loading different versions but still the same thing happens. I frequently switch off and restart the computer but nothing happens. I have changed the Windows firewall to allow Firefox, again nothing happens.

    In the task manager, are you looking at Processes? That is where you find Firefox listed when you see no interface, not in Applications.
    This page might have some useful information about that problem.

  • Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

    Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

    Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
    * [[safe mode]]
    *[[firefox will not start]]
    *[[firefox hangs]]
    Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
    Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
    * do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue<br/> ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
    If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
    Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
    * ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
    * possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]
    * some general info about current crashes [/questions/917748#answer-308124]

  • When I close firefox "everything " is cleared! EXCEPT when I open it again and anything i have copied to the clipboard (paste icon) remains lit... I believe this can be a security breach because I clear everything when closing firefox !!

    I have my settings to clear everything when I close firefox ver 3.6.13. If I copy something to the clipboard, the Paste icon lights up so I can paste the text... which is normal.
    The problem is when I close the browser and everything is suppose to clear (history, etc) the PASTE Icon still lights up for me to paste again.
    This can be a security breach because I want everything cleared when closing the browser !!!
    The only way I can rid myself of this problem is to restart the computer... which clears the clipboard of the operatinging... which is absolutely normal as well.
    I should not have to restart the computer each time.
    Try It !!! type text in any box... then paste it by using the PASTE Icon
    CLEAR all your history, everything ... then close firefox
    Reopen the browser... and the PASTE Icon will light up

    I only had a few addons installed, I disabled Zone Alarm toolbar, View Source Chart 3.01. I also had 5 separate java console updates/addons, and I uninstalled all but the latest java console 6.0.21. All I have now is Roboform 6.9.98, Firebug 1.5.4, Java console 6.0.21, Java quick starter 1.0. So far, so good, the problem has not occurred today. I hope this is it, I will be more sure after a few days problem free. Thanks for the info.

  • When closing Firefox (v:3.6.13), using the red "close" button, the firefox.exe process remaines at top of the "Windows Task Manager" window and continues to use the majority of CPU time.

    After an attempt to close the Mozilla Firefox page, on every occasion, the firefox.exe process is found at the top of the list when ordering the listed 'processes' by CPU time... even though the web page is gone.
    If an attempt is made to restart Mozilla, the system declares that the current Mozilla process should be closed.
    If the firefox.exe process is explicitly closed in the Task Manager, only then can Firefox be restarted.

    Does that also happen if you use File > Exit Firefox?

  • Pages showing in the background when closing Firefox

    Not so much a problem, just something I've noticed and wondered about the reasons for it. When closing down Firefox, even if only one tab is open, I noticed momentarily a previous session appear behind the closing page i.e. browsing navigating from page to page within the same tab, close down and one of the previous pages momentarily appears for a millisecond.

    Sounds like a problem with the plugin-container.

     I am facing problems with flip car animation which is not working properly when its mouse point over state remains activated but it works perfect when its tapped two times and instantly change pointer position. Kindly Help me out as soon as possible.

    Actually i simply want flip card animation which is not working here in my code. When i tapped button to invoke animation its behavior not exactly flipping.  Its one side work properly but other collapsed suddenly not rotate if i keep mouse right at
    the button, but if i change mouse pointer at that very time after tapping it works properly. Mouse Pointer Over mean screen points where i tapped.
    Triggered Function is here:
      private void btnChangCase_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
                if(isCaseChanged==false)
                    isCaseChanged = true;
                    FlipOpen.Begin();
                else if(isCaseChanged==true)
                    isCaseChanged = false;
                    FlipClose.Begin();
