Why do I keep getting a 2nd tab every time I open Firefox for the Firefox Start Page?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, whenever I open Firefox it goes to my start page, but also opens a second tab for the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. Since I do not use that page, I have been trying to figure out how to stop it from being there automatically, but have not been able to figure it out.

I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
(FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

  • Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

    For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received).  I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

  • Keep getting multiple song files every time I open ITunes

    Argh. Every time I open ITunes I have two or three of the same song in my Library. What's worse, when I plug in my Ipod, I end up with two or three copies of the same song on my Ipod as well.
    Help!
    Much thanks,

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.

    I keep getting this message when I try to open FCP X.  "The storage location 'brianmassman1' on this computer is already in use by 'brianmassman1' on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7".  To access the location, quite Final Cut Pro on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7' or remove the location."
    I have no idea what this means.  Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7."  I don't even know what computer that is. 
    I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed.  But it's not running.

    Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

  • I keep getting "camera not detected" every time I tried to download photos from my Powershot SD1000?

    I keep getting "camera not detected" every time I tried to download photos from my Powershot SD1000? I tried different USB cables and still didn't work,

    Hi garyliban!
    Please ensure that your camera's software is up to date.  The older versions that came with your camera were out long before Windows 8, so they need to be updated to be able to work with Windows 8.  Please click here to go to the download page.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message (42404) when I open my itunes?

    I have tried numerous"fixes" for this and still get the same error message every time I open the itunes app.
    I have re-downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes.   I have re-installed Quicktime and then I tried to
    install an older version of Quicktime that someone said would fix it, with no success.  Itunes just keeps opening
    with the same error message: A required itunes component is not installed. Please repair or re-install itunes. (-42404)
    I'm afraid to connect my ipod Classic to it because I don't want it to mess up my music folders. 
    Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Len

    I'd like to thank all those that responed to my question.   Apple has lousy support and this forum is even worse.  Have a nice day and thanks for nothing.

  • Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

    Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

  • Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?

    Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.

  • I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

    Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

    Every time i open Firefox i am getting this message "catch all: json.parse: unexpected end of data". Otherwise everything works just fine, i didn't notice any kind of functionality problems.
    Thanks for the help!

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • Why do i keep getting a 2nd shortcut on my desktop for Mozilla-Firefox. I keep deleting the 2nd icon and it keeps coming back.

    I started getting a 2nd shortcut icon on my desktop for Mozilla Firefox. Every time I delete this 2nd icon, it comes back and I don't know why.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
