Why is firefox suddenly signing me out of the sites I visit regularly?

Ever since I updated to my current version. It is also not saving my tabs when I close the window.

Being signed out of all sites that you visit regularly is an indication that there is a problem with the cookies file. Try renaming it to see if that helps.
# Open the profile folder, for details on accessing it see the [[profiles]] article
# Close Firefox
# In the profile folder rename cookies.sqlite to cookies.sqlite.old
# Re-start Firefox and see if you can now remember login details
For not saving the tabs, on the Tools menu select Options to open the Options dialog. Go to the General panel and make sure that the setting "When Firefox Opens" is set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
If it is already set to that, in the profile folder (with Firefox closed) delete sessionstore.js and if it exists sessionstore.bak, this will force Firefox to create new version of the file that stores sessions details.

Why is Firefox continually redirecting me away from the site I'm looking for?

When I go to a site, I get redirected to an advertising site. When I backspace twice I get returned to the Google search page and then I can go directly to the site I'm punching in. But why am I getting redirected all the time?

Search redirect malware.

Why is firefox crashing my pc out of the blue?

I have a windows 8 Toshiba laptop. I've always used firefox for the past year since I got it, that's my choice of web-browsers but today something went wrong. I went open firefox and it crashed to the point where I couldn't even open the task manager to end the process. I had to shut the pc down improperly a number of times and turn back on to figure out that it only crashes when I attempt to open firefox.
I figured I would simply un-install Mozilla and re-install it and this problem would be fixed but that is not the case. When I tried to install firefox again, everything seems to go perfect up until it finishes the install and attempts to open the browser....and I'm back at the same problem......I have to literally shut off my computer because it crashes it.
I've tried all other programs on my PC and it seems to only be Mozilla that has this problem.

I was lucky enough to un-install firefox and stop having my pc crash. Everytime I tried to install it, it would finish and crash again leaving me without it even installed.
I could poke around in safemode but what would that really tell me? I've already installed a different web-browser.....considering I've probably lost all of my firefox bookmarks that I needed anyhow, easier to just start over.
Thanks

Firefox continually signs me out of YouTube. Advice?

Firefox keeps signing me out of YouTube in two different ways. (On my iMac with Maverick)
1) Every time I close the browser and open it again. Safari doesn't do that. I don't have my preferences set to do that.
2) While I'm signed into YouTube and try to rate a comment, it opens another window and says I need to log in. (I was already logged in.) So, I sign-in again. Then, when I try to reply to a comment, I get a few words written and the page flashes and brings up the screen, "You are logged out."
Also, while watching videos, sometimes it will stop in the middle of it and reload the page on its own.
How can I fix this? I've gone through all of my settings and can't figure it out. Any suggestions on what the dickens is going on?

TS3276 Why can i suddenly not send out mail using mail through my ntlworld account

Why can I suddenly not send out mail using Apples Mail. My mail server is Ntlworld. I can send mail by going to Safari and loging into my mail account, but i would prefer to continue using Apples mail and my address book. Does anyone know what my problem could be. I haven't altered any settings.

HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
This solved the problem:
1. Log into appleid.apple.com
2. Set the language.
The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.

Why is Firefox writing so much data all the time?

I am running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 8. In my Task Manager I display the I/O Write Bytes of all processes. I have found that Firefox is ALWAYS the Process with the largest amount of write bytes after it has been running an hour or so even though there are dozens of other processes there. The only Web page is Google and all of my plugins are disabled.
Why is Firefox writing so much data all the time?

Firefox may be updating the phishing protection database or do maintenance with other files like places.sqlite. It should stop at some point if that has been done.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem.
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox keeps logs my out "of those sites?

I have a strange problem with Firefox 26 where every time I have access to the Web using the (e-mail - my password) to log on to those sites, but Firefox keeps logs my out "of those sites? This happens when I close the browser or restart my machine?

Maybe also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

I have an update to my issue above, with a Semi-solution found. I brought my Macbook Air back to the Genus bar today and they were able to identify (using “Activity Monitor”) that when the particular iPhoto library was being launched through iPhoto both Photostream and iPhoto's CPU% usage was excessively high (between 100% - 200% each). She discovered that if we turn off Photostream in iCloud settings iPhoto then behaved fast and snappy and CPU% came back down to a healthier level. When we turned Photostream back on the problem continued. After an hour of trying to trouble shoot why Photostream was causing the issue they recommended I keep Photostream turned off until a future software update/fix comes out. The particular Genus I worked with was not familiar with this issue. I’m very happy to at least be able to use iPhoto again, but if anyone has ideas or theories on how the Photostream conflict can be fixed please share. Thanks.

Site previews fine in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all the text is the wrong size

I am a rookie web designer. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com When I previewed the site in Dreamweaver it looked good in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site from the directory an hourago and put this new site in its place) Why does IE display properly, but not Firefox...

Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file. This is pointing to a file on your local hard drive which nobody but you can see.
<link href="file:///C|/hetzlerj/jhgc/menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Open your template and reconcile the path to your site folder. It should probably look like this:
<link href="../menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Save Template. Populate changes to Child pages. Upload Child pages.

How do I stop Firefox from signing me out of my ISP when I close it?

Firefox signs me out of my ISP when I close it. I have tried resetting it and changing the "clear recent history" tool to not clear active logins.

Yes. I have set it to clear Browsing, Download, Form& Search, and the cache.

Why is firefox suddenly denying access to reliable websites calling them "untrusted"?

My husband has been using a reliable medical site for years...suddenly the message popped up "untrusted site." We contacted the site--they connected us to their tech support--he tried everything with us over the phone (cleaning cookies, downloading latest version of firefox) but the only way to solve it was to give firefox the go-ahead to ignore their warning. We then got the site. Today, the same message popped up on another site he uses regularly. Any ideas why this should suddenly happen on reliable sites used successfully for years?

I would like to block this site. Kindly help me to block this site.

Why have I suddenly got a lock on the icon, and not able to open Firefox?

Logged on today and found a lock symbol on the Firefox icon. I cannot open the programme unless I do it out of the sandbox. Why is this? My system is Windows XP pro.

For some reason my Avast malware killer had put Firefox in its sandbox. Sorted. thanks for the help.

Why did my Mac sign me out of all accounts?

Last night on my Mac a window randomly popped up telling me to re-sign into iCloud for iMessage. I thought that was a little strange. I woke up today to find I was also signed out of my Evernote and Chrome applications. It seemed to only be desktop applications that were signed out since I was still signed into Google within Chrome. However my Dropbox and Google Drive desktop applications were still signed in, but those only run in the background so I'm not sure if that's the difference. What could have caused my Mac to suddenly sign out of multiple accounts all at once? Is it just something OS X does after it has been a long intervals as sort of a refresh? (I'm the only one who uses my computer.)

Can you open any other iPhoto pics? I'm assuming you have it set for automatically checking for iPhoto software updates and you have the latest version. If not go to iPhoto menu and Check for Updates. What camera and how big are the files? Do you have a backup? Lastly, this is from the iPhoto Help menu. I wouldn't do it unless I had a backup.
