Why does internet options reset every time I start firefox 5.0?

Everytime I restart firefox, it is not able to connect to the internet. The proxy setting in the network settings is set to manual proxy configuration. Even though I set it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network. It does not save the setting. It goes back to manual again when I shut down firefox. And the next time I restart firefox, I have to set it again. This has never happened in previous versions. Started only after I installed 5.0. Am I doing something wrong ??

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning
Bear in mind that Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA, so there are bound to be problems with it still.
So do your bit and report the issue using the Feedback option. The full candidate is slated for release on June 21.

  • Why does my location change every time I start/restart my computer?

    I have yahoo weather set to my location. Every time I switch to an other account or start /restart my computer it changes to another location. I follow the "Firefox cure" Yahoo gives for the problem but it continues to do the same . This started about a week ago when I updated Firefox.
    The problem is about to drive me nuts.
    HELP !!

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause

  • HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    Hi Cyprus11,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
    On all Macs:
    The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
    Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
    Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
    On portable Macs:
    The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
    Expansion card slots turn off
    The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
    An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
    The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
    The optical media drive, if present, spins down
    Audio input and output turns off
    Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
    But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
    Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

  • Why is it that every time I start Firefox I have to fix the proxy settings in the connection area of options?

    Every time I start Firefox I have to click on Tools, go to Options, then under the Connections tab select settings and change the proxy to "no proxy" from "Manual Configuration". Why is this doing this?

  • Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

    Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop?  By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device.  So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection.  This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'.  My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

    Hello E
    Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

  • Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

    Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

    Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

  • Why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

    why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

    Thanks for your help.
    1st, when I go to software updates, it says all my software is up to date.  Perhaps that is because I only have OS 10.7.5 and the updated iPhoto version is for an updated OS version.
    I turned off the counts in prefernces and still can empty the trash.  It gets stuck and will not empty more than about 1/5 of the trash.
    Can you help me figure out the fastest way to back up iPhoto.  I have the cloud backup but not sure how to check to see if it is actually backing up my photos.  Do you know how to check into this?  Is it better to back up on a hard drive?
    Thanks again for your help ...

  • Is it possible to NOT have 'Restore Previous Session' option come up automatically every time you start Firefox?

    A large envelope pops up mid-screen every time I start Firefox, asking if I want to restore previous session. I don't want all users after me to have this option, but don't want to keep an empty history either. Can I deselect this option somewhere? Looked around, but found nothing.

    Unfortunately changing the options found under "Completely disable session restore" does not make any difference to this problem.

  • Every time I start Firefox, why do I get a Google sign-in tab?

    I’m using Firefox for Mac vets. 34.0.5, and I get that extra tab that opens every time I start Firefox in addition to the Home page I specified in Preferences. How do I stop that from happening?

    Type '''about:config'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type '''browser.newtab.url'''
    This tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''browser.startup.homepage'''.
