Flash plugin keeps crashing. Following directions here, I tried to reset firefox and get error message "Well this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page."

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.

  • Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

    After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
    The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
    Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

  • Every time I turn on my computer and start-up Firefox, I get the error "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page."

    This happens even though the last session was closed properly. Google is set as my homepage. I only have a Norton Toolbar.
    This is not only embarrassing but highly annoying - enough to consider switching to another browser. Please help!

  • Why am I gettting this message EVERY time I open Firefox: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opene

    This issue started about 3 days ago.

    hello, this may also be the current problem in firefox 20 that when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards it is mistaken for a crash - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
    as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • Every time I click on my homepage icon firefox says it "Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web paage." What is suddenly going on here?

    I use yahoo as my homepage and simply click on the home icon and keep getting this message. On my tabs then I have one of RESTORE SESSION which consists if this message as well as a tab for MY YAHOO. This has only started recently so must have something to do with an upgrade?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Since the Version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble your windows and tabs" .

    Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

    You can only use apps downloaded from the App store, not via a browser. There is no Flash for any iOS device including the iPod.

  • HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

  • System no longer does session restore but when trying to configure, it does not provide me with the option to show windows and tabs from last session

    Before I updated the latest version of Firefox, every time the browser shuts down in error, I would get the System Restore feature which was really nice. Now, this no longer happens and when I went to configure this ability, it does not even provide me with the option to select to show windows and tabs from the last session. How can I get the restore session feature working again?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    Every time I try to use FF4, I am redirected to an HP/MSN site--"http://hp-notebook.us.msn.com/?pc=HPNTDF". FF4 is my preferred browser but I can't get to it. In fact this happened from the first time I installed FF4 and was asked if I would like to use it now. I have new HP notebook pc.

    The answer is "icon" but that phrase was supposed to be deleted. It is replaced by the paragraph below it. The instructions for a new home page seem based upon an open FF4 page. I can't open FF4 because each time I try I'm redirected to the HP/MSN site. Is there another way I can replace the home page?
