Mail.ru seems to be sneaking in changes to Firefox settings according to this article: http://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/remove-mail-ru. That page also explains how you can get rid of it and restore your normal Firefox settings. Please follow the instructions and see if that works.

When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. Can anyone help?

When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. The system freezes and the only thing I can do is force quit. Can anyone help?

You should post in the Mail forum area of whichever os is installed on your computer.

When opening Firefox many windows open.

When I open firefox, many windows open--up to 70. I stopped this behavior once by having Firefox not open my last session and opening a default window session a few times. I then set Firefox to open the last session again. After a few starts the problem has returned. I very much need Firefox to recover my tabs from previous sessions as it did cleanly in the past.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

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. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Try closing all apps in Multitask Window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

When I touch Mail, it opens then returns to main screen

When I touch Mail, it opens briefly and then returns to the Main screen. The main screen Mail icon says there are 73 e-mails but it won't stay open longer than a fraction of a second. This began when I was selecting e-mails to delete; the program shut down and returned to the main screen. What to do?

Hi: A reset may help. Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.

When opening firefox, a flyout opens telling me I have to click on OK to finish installing Bing Bar.How can I kill this?

I uninstalled or deleted everything connected with Bing and uninstalled-reinstalled Firefox. Once or twice I opened it without seeing the Bing flyout but it came back. Opening IE does the same thing, but I don't use IE so I don't care about it. Opening Chrome, at least for now, doesn't have the same problem. I don't want anything to do with Bing/Microsoft so I don't want to see this flyout any more. There is no close button for the flyout. I can work around it by typing in a different url, but upon opening Firefox, the flyout opens. How can I get rid of it, please? The Microsoft website offers no help.

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.

Thank you.

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. Adobe reader is installed on my iPad.

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. I do have adobe installed. Any suggestions?

You don't need any third party app at all in order to view a supported file in the mail app. It should be viewable even without Adobe Reader.
You do see a paper clip icon to indicate that there is an attachment but you don't see the opened PDF or the PDF icon in the body of the email? Did you swipe all the way down to the bottom of the screen? Is this just happening in one email or does it happen everywhere in the mail app?
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Launch mail again and see if the PDF opens or appears. If it doesn't, close mail again and restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When launching firefox a pdf opens

I have a user that is running Firefox 3.6.28 when she launches Firefox a PDF opens with it. It is not a tab.

If it is not a tab then what does she get (maybe attach a screenshot)?
Is this an unfinished download?
In that case try to delete the downloads.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
See:

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Every time I open Firefox , a recently opened e-mail video (audio only) plays in the background of my new web site .I`ve tried to restore the desk top back to an earlier date with no luck. Please advise.. Ken

I`m getting the same background audio when I open Firefox every time.

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

When I try to open Firefox, it flashes open and closes. Second try opens OK.

I have a quick launch icon I use to open Firefox. When I click on it, Firefox opens for about 1 second and closes. I click the second time, it opens fine.

Sorry, Firefox 4 beta 1 is not compatible with the Samsung Intercept. For details, see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements

When I open firefox a sidebar opens also from a website I visited previously

this is a website I've visited before and never had this problem. The sidebar takes up half the screen and firefox occupies the other half. When I close the sidebar, everything works normally, but the next time I open firefox, it happens again.

the tubedimmer & social privacy addons that you have installed are adware and might be involved in this problem on your pc.
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove these extensions.
 also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
 finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Open Firefox But Didnt Open Previous Tabs Directly

I always keep facebook as my last tab before I close firefox. When I open firefox, it will go to google.com/firefox then it jump into facebook.com. Previously it was automatically load facebook only, but these days, it will go google.com/firefox first. It wasnt as direct as last time and I find it annoying, Please help.

It is possible to toggle the preference to make sure on Start up the next time you use Firefox that the tabs from last time open up.
In the Firefox Menu please navigate to Options then the General Tab.
From here, under "Start up" please select "show my windows from last time."
If there is still an issue with the homepage Firefox Reset [[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]] may also help.
