When opening Firefox, Aurora starts instead. SOLVED
solved: i'm with computers for almost my whole life and i still underestimate how powerful a reboot can be. it's a shame. ;)
hi there.
this morning i updated aurora to version 9.0a2, firefox is on its latest version, too. before i updated aurora i could open both aurora and firefox and they ran alongside. now after i update aurora, i click to open firefox but instead aurora opens. i checked the default browser settings and aurora is always set as not default but that doesn't change anything. can someone help? i'm running both aurora and firefox on win 7 enterprise x64 which is running as a vm on virtualbox.
thanks,
The ''-no-remote'' argument is used when opening the second instance of firefox or aurora. It is normal when using multiple copies to use multiple profiles so that each version has a unique profile available, otherwise you will inevitable get problems. Normally shortcuts will be used that start each version with an appropriate profile.

When I click to open Firefox, iTunes launches instead, and no Firefox browser window appears.
When I click to open Firefox, iTunes launches instead, and no Firefox browser window appears.
Actually... I take it back. I TRIED to update to 16.0.2, but I keep getting the error message that Firefox must be closed first. I'm using Chrome to send these messages, and have also closed iTunes, in case that was contributing to the problem. No use... I can't install the upgrade.

My homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing, yet for some reason today it started using Bing instead of Google for my NEW tab search results. I already deleted Bing from the search bar, no results. Deleted Bing from my computer's control panel. I just want to be able to click a new tab and have my results in google as I always have.
hello, you have a malicious addon present on your pc. <br>please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove ''LyricsParty''.
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

When opening Firefox 6 I receive 2 JavaScript Application errors; the 1st is "TypeError: Component.classes['''TvtPwmComponent_CID'''] is undefined". The 2nd error is; "TypeError:Components.classes['''componentid'''] is undefined." and upon closing Firefox 6 I receive the following JavaScript error; "ReferenceError:'''M_caFxTBobj''' is not defined."
This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Infection Details
URL: http://188.24.140.190/
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Infection: URL:MalHi Tyler,
Thanks for quick reply
Initially after some troubleshooting I noticed that I could make infection pop up disappear:
From Configure how firefox connects to the internet -> changed from "use system proxy settings" to "auto-detect proxy settings" or "no proxy"
With this option modified, the pop up from avast didn't appear any longer when opening Firefox.
However I noticed that both Chrome and IE were set to work on the same "use system proxy settings" and they weren't causing problems...so I assumed the problem still has to be with firefox.
After changing back the option in firefox to "use system proxy" I got again the notice, but saw that when opening firefox in safe mode the issue was gone again.
I tracked it to the no script addon, after removing it, the issue disappear regardless of proxy config settings...when I reinstall it, it appears again.
I am now running in depth virus scans to see were the actual infection is.
It seems to me it is expoiting a vulnerability in this addon, I will try the reset also. -

When opening Firefox browser I get an error message from JavaScript Application: "TypeError:components{cid} is undefined. Sometimes the Firefox browser will not open; sometimes it does. Very annoying!!

When opening Firefox, I also get a popup page thanking me for installing AOL Toolbar.
Frequently, when opening Firefox 7.0.1 I get a popup page over the home page. The popup page is a Thank You for installing AOL Toolbar. I do not have the toolbar, though I might have in the past. I do not like AOL and want to stop the popup page but have not been able to. I do use Winamp's Toolbar and this could be the source of the problem. If Winamp Toolbar is the problem, I will uninstall it if there is no way to turn off the popup from there. Please assist.
There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address many of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. This also includes links to the iTunes 12.0 installers if the issues reported with 12.1 suggest it safer to use the previous version. -

Not responding when opening FireFox 4.0b7
Hi there,
When opening FireFox 4.0b7 the browser hangs for about a minute and I get (Not Responding). If I use FireFox 3.6.13 I have no problems at all or if I use any of the other browsers, link IE9 Beta. What is going on?
The opening webpage we use is: www.tlc-online.co.uk/ I have changed the opening homepage to www.bbc.co.uk/ and the same thing happens.
Thanks for reading and any help you can give.This will most likely due to hardware acceleration. There are a number of bug reports that are still being worked on to improve startup times with hardware acceleration turned on.
You can turn off hardware acceleration to improve startup times. To do that in the Tools menu select Options to open the options dialog. Select the Advanced panel, and then the General tab. Uncheck the setting "Use hardware acceleration when available". -
Opening firefox from begining, I have been able to set it to always open to google as it was in my old firefox default settings. If I remember correctly when you opened a tab, it would automatically open to the homepage. I'm not expierencing this with the new version. It is automatically going to the default page rather than the set homepage. (I just have learned to prefer the google search over the yahoo search over the years and am resistant to changing over, sorry)
A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).<br />
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Today, I've had quite some trouble with my computer. I think it was attacked by something sneaky, but I managed to stop it and fix everything. Everything but this one thing.
When I open the firefox browser, it does not automatically go to my homepage, despite having followed every instruction for this to happen. Instead, it opens in a search engine called "awesomehp" which I have, previously to this, never heard of, and never installed. WHen I click the "home"-button, it goes to my actual homepage, and everything is ok.
I have tried to uninstall this...."awesomehp" search engine, but it STILL shows up automatically when I open FireFox. Why? And this is even after I've reset FireFox to its default settings once.
Why does this happen, and what can I do to fix it?Every now and then, you should run these programs<BR><BR>
