Why is Firefox not loading my pages at startup anymore?

FF 12.0. Why now all of a sudden is FF not loading my pages at startup. It loads the "pinned" pages, but NONE of the other ones I had open. This is happening at every FF startup now. Really, this was the ONLY feature that was keeping me with FF. The performance has gone dramatically down, and the problems more frequent ever since 4 was released. I am getting to the end of my rope with this now. Any ideas?

No previous session option, it is grayed out.
I did try the file exit way to close, and it brought the tabs back up. Is that a change in 12? Not good, we don't always or even often get the chance to close down like that. It was never like that in the past. It did not matter if you hit the X, or ended the process in the task manager... the tabs ALWAYS came back up. It was a feature that nobody else had working in that matter at the time. Honestly, it is the only reason I have been using FF on a regular basis for the past couple of years. Now I have to worry about losing my tabs when it is not closed down "properly", or spend a hour looking through the history and trying to figure out what I had open.

  • Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message  says.
    Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
    Where are you seeing this problem ?.

  • Firefox not loading any pages.

    Firefox not loading any pages either when typing a url, dragging a .webloc into it or searching anything in its google field.  It just stays at the Also, when I try to open a .webloc file "open with", Firefox is not one of the options.  Furthermore, when I go to the "open with">"other..." route, Firefox is not selectable.  I've repaired permissions in Disk Utility, updated Flash and reinstalled the latest Firefox and restarted the computer with no success.  Also, another odd thing is when I double-click a .weblock file, it opens up in Fireox to a blank white page, even though its set to open in Safari as the "open with" default.  This is clearly an issue related to the computer, not Firefox.  Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If this is one Mac on a Network with your own Router, reconfigure the Router to have your ISP's DNS "magic numbers", then disconnect and reconnect your Mac. Your Mac should pick up the numbers from your Router.
    If this is one Mac without a Router, use:
    System Preferences > Network > (Internet interface) > Advanced ...
    to enter your ISP's "magic numbers" for DNS.
    If you prefer, you can use OpenDNS servers instead:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Make certain you do not have any bogus, old, dead numbers ahead of the ones you want to be using -- they will be used first in the order they appear.

  • Why does firefox not load my yahoo toolbar that I have personalized with my apps. I am so try of this crap! What is the problem?????

    When I load Firefox my Yahoo toolbar with all my links that I use does not load! I've been dealing with this for a long time! And as much as I hate Internet Explorer, you are forcing me to go back to it after 3 years with Firefox! Why dose your program have to be so uncooperative. If I can't access my program with ease, what good are you? I don't have this problem with IE. I have been using Firefox because it's so much faster than IE. But If I have to waste all this time trying to re-install Yahoo toolbar or type in Internet addresses, You really are no better, even worse!

    '''Ya I also have the same problem. its working on I Explorer but I don't want to be so slow. '''
    plzz suggest me a solution.
    thanks.

  • Firefox not loading some pages properly?

    So I have recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8, and I installed Firefox. For the most part it works fine but I have noticed, for some reason, some webpages do not load properly. It looks as if only the HTML of the site has loaded.
    Now I can easily fix this by clearing the cache, but only for the same problem to occur a few hours later and this is really annoying me. The problem still happens in safe mode, and other browsers seem to work fine. I have also tried reinstalling but not a full reset.
    Here is a link to what Facebook looks like when this happens: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2gwcbxk.jpg
    Please could you help me solve this?

    This just started happening to me, on my desktop (Samsung software is not an issue), on '''most''' pages. Only a few, incl. Gmail and Mozilla Start page, load as normal pages, with graphics. One site I visited, from a link in an email, loaded All pages normally, but it's the only one so far.

  • Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

    When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
    I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

    Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

  • Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

    why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

    hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
    if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
    <br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

  • Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet i am connected to the int

    Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet when i run diagnostics it says i am connected to the internet... any ideas???

    I am having the same problem. My airport says i'm connected with full bars but when i click on safari it takes a few minutes then says i'm not connected to the server. Now the kicker is i have a magicjack and you need internet to run it and that works fine... also i can access my itunes store which also requires internet. I can only run safari with the ethernet cable connected. That is how i'm connected now.. any ideas what it might be.. i have reset safari, emptied the cache, renewed the DHCP lease.. and all of the obvious... Please anyone help..oh p.s. my iphone picks up the wireless so it is working.. HELP......

  • Safari and Firefox not loading pages

    Safari and Firefox are now selectively not loading certain pages. Sites like penny-arcade.com and staffingnow.com give me a ...
    Safari can’t connect to the server.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.staffingnow.com/” because it could not connect to the server “www.staffingnow.com”.
    message. Now I have tried to empty my cookies, my cache, I have cleared all data that can be cleared. I've renewed my DHCP lease, reset my router, restarted my computer, etc and none of it seems to help.
    I've tried loading them on my girlfriend's pc and they load up fine.
    Any ideas?

    Having the same problem here, only I dont have firefox. Safari refuses to load my webpage www.epicvideo.com.au yet any other computer can access it. I have another site, with the same server, on a similar but cheaper plan, that loads every time.
    I have no problems with download speeds, but from reading discussions, some individual sites, hand-picked by Safari, refuse to load. My business website is the only site Safari wont load - I get the error "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" - frustrating when running a business!!!!
    Ive done it all to, emptied the cache, reset safari, deleted all my book marks (yay), turned off my modem, restarted my server, spoken to tech staff at my STMP and website server... even Mac Heads at Telstra... no answers.
    Lastly, im finding discussions not helping too much either, cause im just deleting files and changing settings etc - something that will surely cause me more grief!!

  • Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

    Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

    After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

  • Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • Firefox will NOT load multiple pages at once, Help!

    I cannot get Firefox to load multiple pages at once. If I try this, they will continue to show the "load"/"refresh" symbol forever and ever (at least half an hour by the time I got fed up). I can load one page at a time but even then it takes quite a long time for the page to fully load - god forbid the page has images on it because then it might take up to 10 minutes to fully load.
    Sometimes if I try to load multiple pages and then "x" out of them and try to do it one by one, it simply refuses to load ANY of the pages.
    I can load multiple pages at one time in IE on my computer, I can load single pages in IE without delay. I can do the same thing in Safari on a desktop mac in the house. So NO, it is NOT my internet connection, thanks.
    For God's sake, I'm sending this complaint/question in IE because I KNOW it won't send in firefox. How messed up is that?

    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.

  • Why does my browser not load web pages?

    I have been having trouble with my browser not loading web pages.  After clicking on a link or typing in a web page, the page will usually not load.  I have to reload the page a few times, then it will work fine.  I have this problem with all web pages.  As for pages like youtube, if I can get a video to start playing, it will stop loading at random times.  I can back up in the video and start playing again, sometimes this will lead to the video playing further, only to stop loading again.  Help please!

    Try streching it with the bottom left corner. Also try view zom in. You can also try safari preferences resetsafari.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
