When firefox starts up, the windows xp c drive 'dirty' bit gets set forcing a 'chkdsk' on reboot. How fix?
when firefox 5.0.1 starts up, it sets the windows c drive dirty bit on and the next time the computer reboots it causes a 'chkdsk'-annoying. I've checked this and seen it happening using 'fsutil dirty query c:' and it's off before firefox starts and on afterwards. I can even turn it off diddling with the, for example, add-ons option and disabling/enabling an add-on like zoom-in for instance.
How fix?
Update your video drivers. Your system details shows you to be running drivers dated 11-11-2005 which are too old to run Firefox efficiently.
You can update to the current version which is 275.33 by dowloading from http://www.nvidia.com
Remove the existing drivers via Add/Remove Programs first.

When firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time is greyed out
firefox 4.0 startup. when I go to general under options when firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time it is grayed out and I can't select it.
Yes, that can happen if you run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session" -

Ever since I updated to the latest Firefox 3.6.12 a several weeks ago I began to have this problem. Under 'Options' and 'Start Up' I have highlighted - when Firefox starts " Show my Windows & Tabs from last time". My settings have never changed since this last update to the latest version so I don't know why I am experiencing this problem. I will say that I did recently do a Windows Reinstall on my computer (Window XP - SP3) but this didn't start to become a problem until the latest Firefox update a week or two later so I doubt this may have something to do with the problem.
After looking on the forums for solutions to this problem I came across one thread, which said that this can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder and then said what to do to find and delete these type of existing files. Well, I followed the instructions on how to do so and yet Firefox still doesn't always save my Tabs upon computer shutdown. I'd say 2 out of 3 times I do a restart or shutdown it saves my Tabs but 1 out of 3, it does not. By the way, I thought I'd also mention that this exact problem is happening on two of my computers both running Version 3.6.12.
So what gives?...could it be problems with the latest Version 3.6.12 causing this since that's when this problem started occurring? What else can I do to troubleshoot and finally fix this? ...it has become very frustrating since I keep a lot of open tabs before closing Firefox and never know when it's not gonna save!!!Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

"When Firefox starts" settings do not work?
In Firefox: "Tools" "Options" "General" "When Firefox starts" "Show my windows and tabs from last time" does not work. Every time I close Firefox and re-open (even after a re-boot) Firefox opens in the defined Homepage (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/). I have tried altering the setting then re-setting it but always the same.
In Version 3.6.12 I never had a problem. Is there something I can do?This problem occurs on the Juno webmail site?
I assume you are doing something different than just correcting the squiggly red underlined words. How are you spell-checking the email: using an add-on or using a feature of the Juno webmail site? If it's an add-on, which one is it? -
In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?
''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above) -
I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.
Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I
go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened
tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set
"tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.
I tried that but it doesn't work.
Any help is appreciated.In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data. -

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

When Firefox starts options, 'show my windows and tabs' is greyed out??
Tools, options, general - when firefox starts
I wish to pick ' show my windows and tabs from last time' but this is greyed out??It sounds like you may have some other settings changed that prevent Firefox from restoring your tabs and windows. Here's what to check:
#At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
#Select the Privacy panel and make sure Firefox will: is set to either Remember history or Use custom settings for history.
#*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history then make sure that Permanent Private Browsing mode is not selected.
#*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history and Clear history when Firefox closes is selected, then click the Settings button and make sure that Browsing History is not selected.
#Click OK to close the Options window -

Firefox start with the previous Windows and Tabs, even the optin I have chosen is the Homepage.
At start up Firefox does not go to my Homepage
Cor-el, thank you for your support. Unfortunately the same thing happens whether I close by using the x or by using exit in the Firefox Tab. I go to Options and make sure that "Show my home page is chosen in the "when Firefox starts" option box. Between the time I close and when I bring Firefox back up that option gets changed to "Show my Windows and Tabs from last time"

When firefox start its open two windows, there is nothing strange on shortcut proporties
You can try to reset Firefox with a new profile if you are currently using a Firefox 13.0.x version.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window
I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site? -
I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??
Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?
