I recently downloaded the latest version (15.0.1) of Firefox for my Mac. When i click on the Firefox icon, i get a display "Important Torbutton Information". It states "Torbutton is now always enabled. Click on the Torbutton for more information". I click on OK. I then get a display that states "THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS". I believe that i have two problems. 1. How do i fix the Proxy Server.
(2) How do i access Torbutton?

Is there a forum for troubleshooting ?Do you mean that a Google page opens?
You can set a different home page.

When i click on the firefox icon it doesnt open the firefox browser page
when i click on the firefox icon to open it no page loads
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

basically, when I boot up the mac, I click on the firefox icon...it just jumps and sometimes it executes. I probably would have to wait a bit for trying to get into the browser successfully. Anything I can do? Thanks
Hi,
This article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time-start-up] suggests that you
#Change your homepage
#Check to make sure your extensions are up to date
# Check to make sure that your antivirus allows Firefox
#Check to make sure that you have the preference "Do not load tabs until selected"
However, I would recommend that you close other programs and clear the cache of the profile to increase the load time. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] A quicker way to do this if you do not have any immediate data to save is to Reset Firefox. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] -
When I click on the FireFox icon I want it to be my main browser, not something else like Inbox!
I click on the FireFox icon and Inbox comes up as my search/browser. I want FireFox. How do I fix this?
It should be listed as an extension, so you can uninstall it using the add-ons manager. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
This help page from Inbox also shows how to uninstall it - http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#2 -
Ever since I installed FireFox 4, I seem to have lost the function of my bookmarks. They simply open up Bing Searches for those sites. I don't even like Bing, why does it keep getting installed into my Firefox?
When I type in the address manually into the address bar (NOT the search bar), I get a Bing Search for the address as well.I think an add-on has hijacked your browser. If this started with Firefox 4, are you sure you installed the official package from http://www.mozilla.com/ ?
In past threads similar to this, people mentioned a Zugo Search Bar, but I haven't dug into it deeply.
First, make a backup of your Firefox settings for safekeeping: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does running Firefox without add-ons fix it?
If so, you could disable them all and then gradually restore the ones that are most valuable to you.
If not, there might be some external software intercepting Firefox's communications. -
When I click on the firefox icon why does aol come up?
All I want to know is why aol comes up when I pres the Firefox icon.
Thank you so much. I kept trying to fix it under the General tab from Firefox. I opened firefox, which flipped to MSN and fixed it like you said from the MSN Tools, General tab. You are great! Thank you again.

When i click on the icon to open Firefox an error message box appears with the following message, C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff\..\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify\.exe cannot be found. It then advises me to use the Search function, but the search function says it is unavailable.

If I go into my Bookmarks after Bing comes up as my browser and then click on Firefox, it comes back as my browser, but I don't like having to go through this extra step.
Some free software includes an Ask toolbar.
Try this:
(1) Disable any Ask add-on (and all other nonessential or unrecognized add-ons) on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you get a link above a disabled extension to restart Firefox, you can click that as the last step after completing your work on the tab.
(2) Run the Search Reset extension to switch your search providers back to Google:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
(3) If your home page was changed, see this article: [[How to set the home page]].
(4) Check for a user.js file that might override your settings the next time you start Firefox. See this article for the steps: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Does that solve it? Any other vestiges to root out? -
my mail has been working perfectly on my 3gs iphone. I can now longer access the mail after tapping on the mail icon. All i get is a blank screen with a reload icon and a write icon at the bottom, neither of which responds when touched. The icon continues to tell me how many mails I have in my inbox and continues to update.
Any ideas?
am on version 4.3.4 operating system.
ThanksI have tried that also, but its still doing the same thing

When I try and open firefox -either from the start menu or desktop shortcut -it doesn't open unless I open another program first. Eg I click firefox and then say 'word' and then 'word' will open followed by firefox- not only is it a bit irritating but also means I get distracted(!) as I usually chose solitaire because it opens quickly.
Doesn't happen with other programs ...
Wouldn't open at all today until a restart - before it would restart I got an error that said firefox wasn't responding - but possibly that isn't connected as computer wasn't shut down properly the day before.This is because the regular central Nightly channel builds is only the desktop version. The version on Nightly development channel is at 21.0a1 now actually.
You need a build that has Metro support.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-elm/
Many users state they cannot get Metro version to work on 32-bit Windows anyways.
There is this running thread at mozillaZine about the Metro builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2304983 -
When I click on the firefox icon, "about home" or "about blank" appears in the address bar.
about blank or about home is appearing in my address bar. How can I get it to read mozilla?
Yes, it's normal behavior, but there is any add-on or any possibility that address bar would be empty when you click on home page button?
It would be more comfortable if you didn't have to clear address bar.
Thanks for help. -
Firefox keeps crashing. I can't get it to open to do any of the troubleshooting steps. I have run Malware and there are no viruses. I have re-installed the latest version and still occurs.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
