When i start up firefox it loads a page i closed already

When i open fire fox, it loads up a page I closed forever ago, like in the last session but which was NOT one of the tabs that was open when i closed firefox. To start with it gives me the normal firefox greeting screen or whatever its called, but then flashes and loads up the old page. Example. I had to deal with an aetna issue earlier today, fixed that up nice and well, and closed the tab, and then went to a bunch of other fun things online leaving the tabs open when i closed firefox. When I came back to my computer and opened firefox again, there was aetna staring at me along with all my other tabs. I did the whole "select the program from the taskbar and select properties" to ensure aetna hadn't made itself an annoying nuisance but it didn't. Everything was fine. Now its a picture of a snowflake I had gotten to make my holiday labels. PLEASE SOMEBODY MAKE THIS STOP ITS SUPER ANNOYING!

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

When I started with Firefox, I loaded the website for my bank account and answered the question wrong when asked if I wanted Firefox to recognize that password - how can I redo that questions so I do not have to answer security question every time?

If I could redo my answer to that question for my bank account, it would speed up my online banking experience but I do not know how to do that.

Is the Windows 8.1 system you posted from the one with the problem, or is the problem on a different system? In that case, I assume it's also Windows.
Does Internet Explorer work normally or are all browsers affected?
Did this problem start shortly after any software changes, such as:
* Windows update
* installation of new software
* updates to add-ons
In case the problem is your firewall configuration (for firewall software that blocks programs from accessing the internet), please see: [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]].
In case the problem is unwanted software or malware, please see: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "Processes"

use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching

about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Uses keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
'''Windows 7''' users can use '''Ctrl+Shift+Esc''' to get to the Windows Task Manager quicker than starting with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Firefox not loading any pages.

Firefox not loading any pages either when typing a url, dragging a .webloc into it or searching anything in its google field. It just stays at the Also, when I try to open a .webloc file "open with", Firefox is not one of the options. Furthermore, when I go to the "open with">"other..." route, Firefox is not selectable. I've repaired permissions in Disk Utility, updated Flash and reinstalled the latest Firefox and restarted the computer with no success. Also, another odd thing is when I double-click a .weblock file, it opens up in Fireox to a blank white page, even though its set to open in Safari as the "open with" default. This is clearly an issue related to the computer, not Firefox. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If this is one Mac on a Network with your own Router, reconfigure the Router to have your ISP's DNS "magic numbers", then disconnect and reconnect your Mac. Your Mac should pick up the numbers from your Router.
If this is one Mac without a Router, use:
System Preferences > Network > (Internet interface) > Advanced ...
to enter your ISP's "magic numbers" for DNS.
If you prefer, you can use OpenDNS servers instead:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Make certain you do not have any bogus, old, dead numbers ahead of the ones you want to be using -- they will be used first in the order they appear.

I have to use the VPN to acess the site because of the limitatation , and it was working okay. When I do turn off the VPN, then the sites will open, but if I activate the VPN, then site will load for ever, but they won't load.
Please advise me what to do?

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

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]].

My firefox wont load any page. Says it cant find the server of any of them. I can view the same pages in safari. I just updated to 3.6.7 and now having this problem. What is happening?

When i select and try to load a page from the google search bar firefox freezes - firefox 4 win 7 bullguard antivirus.

When I search for something in the google search bar, the search completes but if I select a result firefox freezes and will not load the page. Pages load ok from bookmarks.

Were you typing in the search box on the Navigation Toolbar, or in the search box on a Google page?
Did the entire browser turn upside down, or just the page content?
Because you posted from IE10, the forum didn't capture any information about your plugins or extensions. Rather than compile a list, you might just try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Can you replicate the problem?
Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule those out as well, you can disable them here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any difference?

I have chosen a persona, but when I start up Firefox, Mozilla start page with Google shows, and persona is just barely visible only in the toolbar area. How do I get the persona to show, and not Google start-up page?

I checked out the Mozilla Personas, saw one I liked, and added on. When I start Firefox, the Mozilla start-up page shows as usual with Google on it. The Persona I chose barely shows, and only in the Toolbars area at the top of the screen. Can I modify the start-up page to not show Google, and access Google another way, so that my Persona will show on the whole start-up page?

As you can see from the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox using themes with Firefox] article, personas are "''lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars''" and they wouldn't change the webpages.
If you don't like seeing Google as your home page you might want to look at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page how to set the home page] and change it.

How come when i start my firefox i get these advertisememts. how do i stop them there is no opt out button

When I start my mozilla page i get these advertisements and can not figure out how to stop them. It causes me to click no then leave this page etc. I can not find an opt out button.Thank you for helping me.

Firefox does not have Ads included, so it is most likely either your home page, or some software (possibly a virus) that is making these adds appear.
Try to run a few programs to remove any viruses:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
After that, Run a Firefox Reset:
#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.
Then, finally, I suggest installing something like Ad-Block Plus to fully remove ads. [https://adblockplus.org .adblockplus.org]

Install Personas Plus Tab opens in addition to my home page when I start up Firefox

Hi I partially completed the process of installing Personas Plus app but decided against it because it was a trial rather than a free version. Now when I open Firefox I get my home page and an additional tab with this page http://barisderin.com/?p=915 open.
I can't figure out how to stop this from happening. I hope to hear from you. Kind regards

When I start up Firefox, it comes up with cursor at search line, but I cannot just start typing. I have to click on the line before I can type even though cursor showed up there when I started Firefox up. This is a little inconvenient.

I have to click on Firefox search line when I first start Firefox up even though the cursor is already blinking there when Firefox starts.
