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 is it that every time I restart Firefox it deletes my quick links that are located right under the address bar?

This is a recent problem and it has happened 4 consecutive times now. Every time I restart Firefox it has removed my quick links to the websites I visit most often. I didn't have a problem like this for over a year, and then it seemed to start right after some recent Firefox updates.

Hi earlten
This is a '''Community-Driven''' Support Web Site for Firefox.
The community are volunteers; just ordinary users like yourself who use the Firefox browser and try to offer other users free support. Please remember this and moderate your language to show some respect. I know you are frustrated, but venting this on people who do their best to help others in their free time is not likely to be well received.
Please just state clearly the problem you are having and other users will see if they can help you.
For example: Every so often I check whether my plugins are up to date by using this link:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/[[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]]

Every time i close FireFox , it do not remeber my proxy settings

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'''.

Why is my popup blocker under "options" deselected every time I start Firefox?

Why is it that every time I run a Flash update I find my update options have changed?

Why is it that every time I run a Flash update I find my update options have changed?
It is getting irritating to keep having to click that I do not want to automatically run updates. I am tempted to just turn off updates completely.
Would it not be too difficult to keep the settings previously used?
I always like to be advised of updates so I can then select to run them.

Well I just recently downloaded the application "Whatsapp" again after I synced my new iPhone 5 to my computer and it wasn't there. So I actually went into the app store and downloaded it from that again. It didn't make me pay the .99 cents as before though. Maybe because I was already in the system. This has really agrovated me, because none of my friends that use "Whatsapp" with thier iPhones experience this problem.
Someone help please!

How do I fix: The Plugin Check comes up EVERY time I start Firefox, AND I've installed Adobe Acrobat over 3 times but it still shows up as outdated

I crammed the info into the subject line, but to repeat...
Every time I start Firefox, the Plugin Check runs. Every ... single ... time. Very annoying. How do I get this to stop?
AND
I installed Adobe Acrobat at least 3 times, but it still shows up as "outdated". Obviously, it only truly installed once, but I tried clicking the button in vain hope that that will fix it.
But really, I simply don't want the Plugin Check to start every time.
thx

Alas, I already tried setting it to False (read it online somewhere) and it doesn't work. Perhaps if you could give guidance on why the Adobe install isn't completing, that would solve the plug-in check issue... Fingers crossed.

Plugincheck opens in a tab every time I start Firefox.

Lately, every time I start Firefox, I get two tabs: one with my homepage (which I expect), and the other tab is https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/. The plugincheck tab is in the foreground and quite annoying. Why did this start happening? How can I stop it?

What is the value of the pref plugins.update.notifyUser on the about:config page?
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

How do I stop one extra tab from opening every time I start Firefox?

Every time I open Firefox, my Yahoo homepage opens, but an additional page also opens which has a variety of website thumbnails and nothing else on that page.
In my Options, I have ONLY www.yahoo.com selected as my homepage, so only ONE page should be opening every time I start Firefox.
However, no matter what I do, this second page continues to open every time. It's very irritating, as half the time I've already begun to enter data into my homepage, then the second page pops up and switches to that and I'm typing on that page.
Please advise.

Thank you!! That fixed the problem. The only add-ons I have are for my anti-virus software WebRoot, but somehow I must have installed Speed Dial without realizing it.
That fixed the problem. Greatly appreciated!!

Windows asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" every time I start Firefox.

Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
