Why does firefox open up more then one page when I login

After upgrading to Firefox 5, when I open Firefox it opens about 15 to 20 pages and I have to close the pages before it will let me continue. Why is this happening?

But there aren't any symbols. It's just set to http://www.yahoo.com
And every time I open Firefox, it opens with 3 Tabs, one of which IS Yahoo but the other 2 a regarding plug ins being successfully updated. I've even gone as far as to uninstall those plug ins and it still opens with 3. About ready to uninstall Firefox and stay with IE

  • Why does Firefox open 3 Tabs all the time when I open it? One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug in being installed. How do I make that stop?

    When I double click Firefox to open it, 3 Tabs automatically open. One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug ins being successfully installed. I want for only my home page to open. How do I make this stop?

  • Why does Firefox send me back a few pages when I attempt to type into a text box???

    I am sick and tired of this insane bug. It affects me on a daily basis. 20% of the time I attempt to type anything into any text box, for every keypress, Firefox will treat them as requests to 'go back' and it launches me several pages backwards through my browsing history in the tab. I then I have to skip forward and attempt filling it in again. It usually works after 1-2 attempts but like i said this is happening 20% of the time on text input forms, especially FARK.com.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does Firefox open with an AVG search page.

    Pretty much says it. I open Firefox and a AVG page comes up with a search block. Is this a current feature of Firefox?

    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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • I can't print more then one page of a firefox document that is more then one page long. os xp3sp

    I can't print a document that was created by firefox and is longer then one page.
    == when I started using firefox

    Firefox has problems with some style rules.
    First, it's always helpful to use any print-formatted or print-optimized version of the page. Sometimes there is a link for this.
    Second, in some cases you need to use this trick: press Ctrl+a to select all content on the page, then Ctrl+p to display the print dialog, and click the radio button next to Selection.
    Those tricks don't always work, but hopefully they will help.

  • How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.

    Hello,
    I am currently using LiveCycke Designer to create a scholarship for my company. I created fields for the form and I would like to insert a text to describe the scholarship. When I insert the text, it doesn't flow onto the next page. I've tried creating a subform and clicking "flowed" and "allow page breaks within content". I also clicked auto-fit for the height, but it just makes a line. For the text box, I've clicked "Expand to fit on the height". It is also a dynamic XML Form. Is there anything else I should be doing?
    I could always send the file to someone to see if they can figure it out.
    Thank you,
    Natalie

    Thank you so much !
    but the link doesn't seem to work. It says that the URL is not in the correct format for an Acrobat.com document link.

    Here is the corrected form..Even you you set the Subform type to "Flowed" to the subform where the Text box resides, you did not set the Page1 to Flowed (which is the key)..But when I make the Page1 type to "Flowed", all your fields above the Scholrship text boxes' Subform will go one below another.. To fix this, first I have select all the fields and wrap them into a subform and then set the Page1 to Flowed..

  • Why can't I paste more than one page at a time?

    I have a problem with Pages when I try to paste more than one page worth of content at one time.
    In my business I have a form online for clients to fill out. When the clients have finished the form, I copy the form (saved either as a safari document or as a pdf) and then try to paste what I have into Pages. It should flow to fill out four pages, but for some odd reason it only fill the first page of a Pages document, then it gives me a second blank (empty) page. So the document is two pages long, but only the first page has content.
    I know the pasted information is hidden in the document, because if I were to cut (erase) a few lines of content, the pasted information would appear from the bottom of the page to fill the space I just made.
    Why is Pages not making a four page document containing all my pasted information? Why isn't it flowing to fill out as many pages as it takes to show all the information?

    And of course, with the Numbers document open, you may copy pieces of it and paste them in Pages's pages.

  • Priting more then one page in the layout

    I can't print anymore more then 1 pages per layout of each printed page!
    This happened from leopard. I have upgraded the system, then i did a archive & install trying to solve the problem, but there were no changes.
    I can't print even from new just created users

    Not sure this will help -- But at first I was not able to print more than one page on my EPSON STYLUS PHOTO R200 printer. When the page opened -- I had the Printer listed in the top Title space. After several attempts, i noticed there was a black arrow next to the Printer name -- I clicked on it to open and all of the application features including setting # of copies appeared. I seem to remember reading something that in Leopard 10.5 Printing is now tied to the application rather than the printer. Maybe this had something to do with it not appearing at first.
    Only problem I have now is LEOPARD does not recognize my printer Utility software --for cleaning heads, determining ink levels, etc. I've e-mailed EPSON on this

  • Why can't I print more than one page?

    I'm pring a lafge text:
    <af:inputText id="it1" value="#{main_bean.resp}" readOnly="true"
    simple="true" rows="#{main_bean.kvitRows}" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
    visible="true"/>
    That is I use one af:inputText with many rows.
    To send it for pring I use JavaScript.
    <af:resource type="javascript" >
    function printPage(evt){
    window.print();
    evt.cancel();
    window.close();
    </af:resource>
    When printing it clips the text. If the text is more than one page it print only one page. I need to continue printing on the next pages (not to clip). When printing othe web-pages it distributes it onto several paper pages.

  • Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

    When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
    When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Bill Leete

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

  • Why does Firefox open new tabs when HOME is clicked?

    I just upgraded to version 29.0 from a 4 year old version and I'm experiencing a problem that I can't imagine how to correct. I have two home pages set in my config, so that when I open firefox I get two tabs displayed. My Home Page field reads "https://www.google.com|https://news.google.com" When I open Firefox I get two tabs, one for Google and one for Google News.
    On my old version, if I was in the first tab & navigated to www.hp.com and then later clicked HOME, Firefox would load that tab back to google. If I was in the second tab, it would navigate that tab back to google as well. The multiple Home page option was just a great help for initialization.
    Now, regardless of what tab I'm in, when I click "HOME" Firefox opens two new pages, sets the first to my first home and the second to my second home and now I have FOUR tabs open. Click home again and I have 6 tabs, again and 8 tabs, etc.
    There has to be a way to fix this. The HOME button is supposed to operate of the current focus, just as it does if you have a single home page specified.

    Hi Stan, what both Ed and I are saying is that the first of your home pages should open ''in the current tab you're viewing'' -- the way you want -- because that's what happens for us.
    Could you repeat the test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

    When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
    This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

    Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
    Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

  • Why does firefox open after i uninstalled it and installed google chrome

    i uninstalled firefox, then installed google chrome. often i will be on chrome and firefox opens a window with porn sites and multiple tabs. how is this possible after being uninstalled. and this only happens on my girlfriends desktop. On mine i dont get anything like that.

    First of all you need to run some malware scans, it sounds like the computer has been infected. Try running several malware scanners, you can use any of the following:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Lavasoft Ad-Aware]
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender] (If you use Microsoft Security Essentials then you will not need to use Windows Defender)
    As for Firefox appearing, that implies it has not been uninstalled. The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox uninstalling Firefox] article shows how to manually remove Firefox if the uninstaller failed.
