Why is Firefox launching unstopable replicating windows when I download files?

Why does Firefox launch replicating windows when I download?

This can happen if the Firefox application is selected to handle that MIME type.

Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes when I download files for sites. What can I do?

When I try to download files from some sites. Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes. This has happened over and over again. I have sent numerous the crash to Mozilla.

I had no problem when working with version ff3.6.3.
After I updated to 3.6.12, when I try to down load a file or save a page, FF crashes or hangs. After I kill the program from Task manager, and reopen the program, FF successfully continues with the download and finishes it.
So decided to uninstall the entire FF, removing all the existing configurations and do a fresh install.
After I open the newly installed FF 3.6.12 for the first time and try to save the mozilla page, FF 3.6.12 still hangs. Looks like there is a serious bug in v3.6.12.
Please fix it soon.
Where can I download earlier version?
Thanks

Why does FireFox keep changing the window when clicking on another program??

I upgraded to FF 8 recently. When I start it and go to, say, Gmail (in window A) then open another browser window (window B) to go to, say, Facebook, if I click on another program such as Live Messenger or even a reduced window of another program the window in FF always changes. I.E., I look at window A while B is open. I click on the message box from Live and the window changes to B. I click on A to get back to that window then click on the Live box again and B pops back up. I can't get it to stay on A no matter how many times I try.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant update wreaks havoc with add-ons

Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant updating wreaks havoc with add-ons
Why is Firefox violating my computer?

I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.
In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.
It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download!

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

When i download files , they go into subfolders such as "000000000002" within downloads, why is this behaviour and is this a bug?

When i download files , they go into subfolders such as "000000000002" within downloads, why is this behaviour and is this a bug?

Thanks Eric, Most files i download is from a incident management application developed from my employer. i use that all day long. I think you are partially correct, The application that i use may be creating these subfolders and using to put files into that.
I will update this thread if i see that some other standard applications like safari / Mail are downloading into subfolders.
Is some one else facing this issue??

Why is Firefox creating pending crash reports when it's not crashing?

I am running Windows XP SP3 and Firefox 9.0.1.
I have 31328 files in Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending constituting 342MB. The oldest files are from July 2010 and, for example, there are 88 files there created today and 324 files created yesterday.
My question is why is Firefox creating these crash report files when Firefox is not crashing? My last Firefox crash was too long ago to remember exactly.

I think I figured out my problem. Even though Firefox wasn't crashing, apparently some of my plugins were causing conflicts and creating these pending crash reports. Firefox doesn't keep your plugins up-to-date, you have to do it manually. I used https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to see which of my plugins were outdated. Of the outdated plugins, I updated the ones I recognised and disabled the ones I didn't (disable plugins by going to Tools - Add-ons, and click on the Plugins tab). And that seems to have stopped the crash reports being created.

How can I stop Firefox from restoring minimized windows when I open a new Firefox instance?

Say I have 10 Firefox windows minimized. When I start a new instance of Firefox, all the minimized windows are restored! Then I must manually minimize them all over again. How can I stop this behavior?
Firefox 3.6.10, Windows 7

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

Why does Firefox not open my windows and tabs from last time until I have tried starting 3 or 4 times?

I have this problem with opening Firefox:
My Startup options are set to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"
However, each time I start Firefox, by clicking the icon in the Taskbar, it opens with a single blank tab.
I repeat this using "Open New Window" and when I have up to 3 windows, all with single blank tabs open, I close them all. Once more I use "Open New Window" which only then opens with my windows and tabs from last time.
Naturally, this induces initial panic each time, because I dread the thought of losing all my current tabs.
What is going on here?
How can I fix it?
< Firefox 27.0.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium.>

This started happening to me with the upgrade to v30. Previously, new windows did the proper thing of showing previous tabs/windows.
I have history on, not in private mode, and have cleared cache.

Why is Firefox always displaying previous tabs when it opens?

After I use Firefox and close the browser, the next time I open the browser it will reload ALL the tabs I had open previously. I have turned off this feature in the "options", but it's not working. ALSO, if I click on any link which is going to open a new window of Firefox, it will not go to that website, but instead load all the tabs that were open previously....again!

WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS FREEZING AND NOT RESPONDING?
i have deleted program and reloaded it and have same thing

Firefox opens an empty window when macbook wakes from sleep.

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013678''
Firefox 31 is active and I close the Lid of my MacBook air. when opening the LID sometime (1 hour?) later an empty windowframe appears. The address-bar is unresponsive. The situation cures itself after a minute or so.
Closing Firefox and reopening it, helps immedeately

Hi hstoeri,
This has not happened to me before, but in the past I have seen threads that have narrowed it down to hardware acceleration.
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
