EX: my homepage is Youtube.com and when i open firefox, it brings me to youtube but the adress bar says, "Go to a website", instead of the link of the page im on. it is VERY annoying and i really need the link because i actually do use it a lot!

You just need to update the setting under the Startup to not restore your previous session. Go to Tools - > Options - > General Tab. At the top it says 'When Firefox starts:' with a dropdown. Just select Show my homepage.

I get this error message when I open Firefox and when I go between tabs TypeError: PC_PREF_OBJ is undefined

I get this message when I open Firefox and when I go between tabs.
TypeError: PC_PREF_OBJ is undefined
I have tried to re-install, but that doesn't help.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in [[Safe Mode]], then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

Link in new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar.

On a specific website, when I left click a link it opens but when trying to open the link in a new tab, the new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar. This website hosts many, many images which I hope to download using a bulk image save addon but those images must first be in separate tabs. Opening these links in new tabs is vital to the process.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Why does "My Yahoo" open in a new tab [only after a restart of the system] when I open Firefox and my options are set to restore tabs?

after a system restart, when I open Firefox, a new tab appears with My Yahoo displayed. I have my options set to restore session/tabs, with my home page listed as blank [not the best, i know]. I have not installed any new programs, other than Norton, to 2010 and have only done updates as required.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== recently...I usually only shut down for reboots.

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Running win-7, I get MSN's inane homepage when I open Firefox and don't know how to change it to (for instance) Google.

I've just switched computers and downloaded Firefox onto my new machine. It runs Win-7, so I get MSN's inane home page with celebrity news and ads every time I open Firefox. How do I change it to, let's say, plain vanilla Google?

Thanks. As Huxley said when he read Darwin's manuscript the first time, "How stupid of me not to have thought of that!"

When I open firefox and check box to keep me logged in, it doesn't. I have to login and enter password everytime. This just started happening, not that way in the past. Also, not remebering id's for bookmarke sites.

When I start firefox, it used to send me directly to my home page, now I have to login and enter password everytime, even when checking box to leave me logged in. Also, its not rememberin ids and passwords for my bookmarked sites.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can also try to update to Firefox 9.0.1

When I open Firefox and try to open a new tab I get an error window which says "Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/9Úº%01˜%1Cm:ÙËÅÈµÖ¯AÐóqÖ¬7F±éS¿W5." Is this a virus?

I get multiple windows opening with this message. Sometimes as many as 8 or more. I first tried clearing my cache then I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the issue persists.
I am using Trend Micro anti virus software with their latest updates and have run a complete scan. The program tells me I do not have a virus but I suspect I do. Can anyone give me any input on this?
Thanks.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

I can pin three or four websites that load when I open Firefox, but I do not want a homepage to open full. Can I just have pinned sites open? At this point it looks like I must have homepage. Can a homepage be pinned?

I have three or four sites that I want pinned when my browser opens. And would like only those to open pinned and not have another tab (homepage) open.
Or if something has to open I'd like to choose one of my pinned sites to be focused on but still pinned.[http://www.dougsstuff.com/tabs.PNG link text]

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ Add-on Bar Restored] to bring back the add-on bar. Learn more here: [[What happened to the Add-on Bar?]]

When I open a new Word Document, it minimizes it to the task bar at bottom and when I go to maximize , it disappears to the left of the screen. What is wrong?

I open a new Microsoft Word Document and it immediately minimizes to the task bar at the bottom of the screen. When I go to maximize the document, it "disappears" immediately to the left going off the screen.
I am having the same problems with emails when I try to forward or create new emails. They will not hold long enough for me to write on them - they disappear off the screen.

How is that related to Firefox support?

When I open firefox I am told I am not on the latest version although I am on v.8?

I run Firefox v.8 on a Sony Vaio laptop using windows 7 62 bit. Every time I open firefox I get a message saying I am not on the latest version and asking me to upgrade. Can Iprevent this, please?

Is that a legitimate pop-up that you see visiting a Mozilla site?
You are currently running the latest Firefox 6.0.2 release, so there are no updates.

Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

This is an ongoing issue.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
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 and the plugin-container process.

Why is the Plugin Check suddenly starting up automatically when I open Firefox, and how do I stop it?

Instead of Firefox opening to my homepage, as it has been doing for several years now, it opens to a Plugin Check screen. I don't know why this started, and I haven't found a way to prevent this from happening. What can I do?

That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed. 
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file. 
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

I have no privacy! when anyone opens firefox and clicks on mail, it opens my email without a password. how can I stop this?

question is self explanatory. I want to be asked for a password when I click on mail, less anyone can open it.

Option to stay logged in will be stored in cookies. Delete the cookies for the email site (for details on doing that see the [[Deleting cookies]] article). When you next log into the mail site, deselect any option on the login screen that says something like"remember me" or "stay signed in".

When i open firefox and it brings me to my homepage, the page adress isnt in the adress bar.
