Every time i open a new window or new tab im getting a popup with the Firefox logo at top left corner of the popup!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

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 change my homepage every time I open it?

    I want hotsheet.com to be my permanent default every time I open firefox.

    Hello howsue, in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then try to delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create the file also).
    thank you

  • Why does this spam site load every time I open a new tab?

    Every time I open a new tab in Firefox, it loads this specific search engine. This has never been my Home Page, and my preferences are set to show a blank page when I open a new window or tab.
    Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this?

    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).

  • Firefox freezes ('hangs') virtually EVERY time I open a second browser window. How can this be fixed?

    I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

    Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
    If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why my Pages downloaded my documents every time I opened it?, why my Pages downloaded my documents every time I open it?

    I linked my icloud to Pages , but every time I opened it, it downloaded all my staffs which I have downloaded before.

    Are you turning off WiFi and then turning it back on again? I can't really think of any reason why the files would download again unless you turned WiFi off or unless you deleted the app and then reinstalled it.

  • How do I prevent the itunes store coming up as a popup every time I open i tunes?

    How do I prevent the i tunes store appearing as a popup each time I open i tunes?  I rarely download and this is an unwanted step.  Thanks

    Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.

  • Black window is open in background every time I open a new file

    Hi There,
    Every time I open a new file in photoshop CS6, it forces another window in the background to open.
    Please can you tell me how to disable this, as it is very annoying and I hate working in tabs.
    Also, how do I open all new files at 100%?
    Thanks

    I do not use a Mac but I do use floating windows on a PC.  I also know that there is some way to turn off Photoshop's main windows frame on a Mac.  That frame may be what you see as the black window. Try turning off Photoshop's frame.
    To have Photoshop Open new and existing documents from Photoshop's are 100% you need to set up a open event and have ir use an Action or Script the will set view actual pixels 100% zoom.  Look a menu File>scripts>Script Events Manager.... that is where you enable events and set up their handlers.

  • I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

    i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

    Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
    If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

  • Safari crashing every time I make a new tab or window.

    Hello; this is my third post to these forums. The first one helped me and the second one garnered no responses. Anyways, I am here with a question. My safari crashes every time I make a new window or tab. I have created a pastebin of the crash log.
    http://pastebin.com/5EZEX3z1
    Please help!

    Does a new or Guest user have the same problems ?.
    If not, try resetting Safari, especially the 'remove all website data' part.

  • Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, every time I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open.

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac G5 and my MacBook.
    Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, everytime I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open. This happens on both of my computers.
    This never used to happen before, in the earlier versions.
    How do I make it so that only one browser window opens?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Firefox 3.6.3 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • I have to enter my Firefox Sync account information every time I open the browser. Is there a way to get Sync to retain this information?

    Using Firefox 3.6.12 with Firfox Sync 1.5.1. When I open Firefox I have to go to Sync settings and put in all my Sync account information. One the information is in place everything sync's up fine and I am alright until I close Firefox. Once I open Firefox again I have to input all of my Sync account settings again. Is there a way to get Sync to remember all of my settings so that it connects and syncs every time I start Firefox?

    @the-edmeister
    Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
    ('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
    Great to have Sync. :)

  • Why does my finder display differently every time I open it

    When I open Finder, it always opens it to a different size with different column widths that what I set. Can someone please help me understand how to save my settings so that I don't have to resize every time?
    Thanks!
    I don't want it like this
    I want it like this, and I always resize but it doesn't always reopen like that the next time I open Finder

    Do a backup. 
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
