When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.

Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window. 
Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

"F11" toggles Full Screen mode on/off
see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/keyboard.htm
Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.
Just noticed your mention of missing the red "X" (red background), are you also missing the vertical scrollbar on the right side.
* Resizing oversize window - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
If you are referring to not being able to close a tab, you will not see the "X" on a tab if it is the last tab, in fact you may not even see the tab bar, that depends on your options and on configuration options for how the close tab is to appear.
Check your '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries about:config]''' options

:True (default): Hide the tab bar
:False: Always show the tab bar
:Note: In Firefox, this can be changed via "Tools → Options → Tabs → Always show the tab bar (Firefox 2 and above) or Tools → Options → Tabs → Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open (Firefox 1.5).
'''browser.tabs.closeButtons''' Integer (Firefox 2.0)

:0: Display a close button on the active tab only

When I open Firefox a screen comes up that says register for "Inbox". I do not want to. I cannot deleate this and cannto figure out how to uninstall. Is it possible that I could speak with a live person that can help me.

I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

I have a mac laptop and when i plug my ipod touch (fourth generation), the computer does not even know its there. I look for the little box where the devices usually are and there is nothing showing up. I need help.

Additional info.
This computer is a computer handed out to us from school that we use throughout highschool. We are allowed to sync our itunes accounts so theres no problem there.

I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen, looking like a command prompt window, in firefox.

Hi,
When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen covering the whole firefox window and it looks more lika a big command prompt window, in firefox. What is it?
Regards
Jean

Huh, that's a new one...
Can you try Firefox in [[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]] to see if the problem goes away. I'm thinking it's an extension.
*Run ''firefox.exe -safe-mode'' in the search bar on the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added any new extensions recently around the time this started happening? Your system details shows the following:
*Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
*Anti-Banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Dangerous Websites Blocker 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Kaspersky URL Advisor 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Troubleshooter 1.1a ([email protected]) '''This is default so this isn't the problem.'''

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
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.

Hi everyone!
I will be posting this in all "weird sounds topics" just so you know.
These "weird" sounds you hear are from pacman.
Today is Pacmans 30:th birthday and google wanted to celebrate by making the pacman game playable at their website "www.google.com".
You will notice that their logo is changed to pacman with the map swapped out to the text "google".
The game will probably just be here today so all noises will be gone by tomorrow. If you don't want to hear the sound today then please don't visit google or just turn your volume down.
Yours sincerely: LAwLz

Something happened with Firefox where all that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites. How do I get back to a regular browsing window? I have no idea how this even happened.

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.
