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

* 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

: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).

Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
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.

I am running Firefox v28. When I open firefox, I get the toolbar and I can even open preferences window but that all! No browser windows (or even help pages).

I use a Macbook pro 13" version 10.9.1. I have tried the obvious fixes ie turning pc off and on. Chrome and Safari run fine so no network issues. I followed the advice to turn Proxy setting off but this made no difference. Really dont know what to do so help appreciated. (the links below - to install the 'trouble shooting' or the 'educated guess' about my system does not open.

Hello Lozzer62,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. 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 and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
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!
Cheers,
Patrick

When I open Firefox, The tab keeps quickly flicking between "Connecting" and "New Tab". The browser will not connect to any site.

This occurred straight after visiting the isohunt site. I had a message saying "Firefox is preventing
IsoHunt from installing a program, will you allow?" (or words to that effect). I gave permission then the problem started.
I have used Firefox on my iMac for a long time without any problem. I'm running OS X 10.7.5
Hope you can help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Youtube has a left side [split window] open on the same video for months. I can't close it and it plays the same song over and over again when I open firefox. I've uninstalled and re-installed firefox and checked all settings with no help

those are all of the details.

I know the Firefox developers had good reasons for introducing this feature, but they failed to consider their users who are web developers.
I've installed a web server on my computer to help with web design, and I access the homepage through http://localhost
However this won't work in offline mode, and (with my dial-up connection and all) it's not practical to always dial in to my ISP just to have Firefox start in online mode, plus I don't need to be *actually/literally* online to access my local web server. And the extra clicks to File -> Work Offline are a pain.
The best option IMHO would be to provide a pain-free way to disable this setting for advanced users. Emphasis on *pain-free*.
My 2 cents, for myself and (hopefully) on behalf of the poor, forgotten web designers out there.

When i open Firefox it just sits their and says restore session or not responding, I uninstalled and install the newest version and it's still doing it

this has been happening for a while , it would finally open , but now it won't open

What is that first page?
Can't you open any web pages in Firefox?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.

When I open Firefox I get my homepage and immediately I get another tab with some site I have never been to. Is there a way I can block this?

Here is the address of the site, I never click on anything in it for fear of what it is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I open firefox, tabs open that describe new firefox features

Today, when I opened firefox for the first time and every time since then, I have clicked on the firefox icon and several different tabs open. Each one includes information about different things that are "new" to firefox such as WOT, google chrome, etc. I have closed each one, I have closed all at once, I have tried disabling them. Nothing has worked, every time I open firefox again, those 5 or 6 tabs open again.

You can check if you have an 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
*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).

Upon opening firefox the page scrolls up and I lose the menu bar

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 to toggle).

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
