hello vimobhana, can you try launching firefox in safe mode by pressing the shift key while it is starting and see if the issue is occurring there too? maybe a theme or hardware acceleration is interfering here...
if safemode is working, you can try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general and or disable addons that might cause the problem. it also would be interesting which graphics hardware (adapter description, driver date & driver version) you are using - you can access this information in firefox > help > troubleshooting information towards the bottom of that page... thank you

A few days ago(after a system restore) the firefox 15.0.1 crashes every time i opened(in a few secondes or in 1-2 minutes)

If the problems arose after a restore from a Windows restore point you may need to resort to reinstalling Firefox, as sometimes Windows restores have been known to break Firefox.
Security software including Firewalls is another problem that can slow Firefox or cause it not to work. You need to ensure the security software recognises the current version of Firefox (Again I wonder if a Windows restore may have affected this also.)

If you are getting crashes are you able to provide the Crash IDs for a couple of recent crashes.
* see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]] <br/> they can be found by navigating to about:crashes

Apparently you say there is no problem in Safe Mode, if so try Firefox with Hardware Acceleration off, if that helps then instead of leaving it off look at your graphics drivers.
* see [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration]]_turn-off-hardware-acceleration
* maybe your graphics driver rolled back on the restore, and needs reinstalling see [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

I just installed Firefox 4 from Firefox 3.6.15. Every time I open the browser, it reverts back to 3.6.15 and I have to reload 4 all over again. What gives?

I installed beta 4 last night. Now, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to make Firefox my default browser. I click yes, and it goes to Firefox 3.6.15 and thanks me for upgrading. I have been running 3.6.15 since it was released. I have to reload beta 4 to get back to it again.

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.

Why does the plug-in checker pop up every time I open fire fox?

Since yesterday every time I open fire fox the mozilla plug-in checker loads in a tab (in addition to my set home page) . How do I disable this?

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

Why do I have to allow a new window every time to open from within another window, Ie, from an email?

When I try to go to a web site from another web site or from an email from a link, I am required to click on the "ALLOW" button every time. It seems like if I have already clicked on it that I have allowed it. It is very frustrating. If it can't be fixed, I will either go back to an older version of firefox or choose another browser

hello, you can disable these warnings, when you go to ''firefox > preferences > advanced > general > warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''.

Why do I keep getting a 2nd tab every time I open Firefox for the Firefox Start Page?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, whenever I open Firefox it goes to my start page, but also opens a second tab for the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. Since I do not use that page, I have been trying to figure out how to stop it from being there automatically, but have not been able to figure it out.

I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
(FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

Firefox 8.0.1 hangs every time it opens. Where can I download previous versions of Firefox, please? (Have searched site for an hour)

Have already tried the various solutions suggested in support pages for this problem. Have also re-installed from full installation file instead of automatic update. Nothing helps.

Thank you, James. I will certainly use the url you provided to download v8.0 which is what I wanted. (BTW. I wasn't stupid enough to install Aurora when I saw it wasn't the file it was supposed to be.)
I agree that I should not have had to go to an unofficial download site. I'm well aware of the risks of using such sites. But I searched the Mozilla and Firefox sites repeatedly for several days seeking different version nos of Firefox (including 8.0) and my searches have returned no matches. If Mozilla allowed this url to be found, it would make things much easier.
I understand the concerns about security vulnerabilities but a version of Firefox that hangs (permanently) as soon as it opens is of no use and does not allow us to search for solutions. In this case, the only option is to downgrade and use that older version to get online and then search for possible solutions to the upgrade problems. It isn't about using the older version indefinitely, just for problem solving so we can upgrade to the latest secure version.

History panel opens in left side of window every time I open a Firefox session. How do I turn it OFF?

Windows forced a reboot while I had a Firefox window open with the History Panel (ctl+H) open on the left side of the window. Every since then, whenever I start Firefox, that history panel opens with it in the left side of the new window. How do I stop that?

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

I have to use Chrome because Firefox 9.0.1 crashes every time I open it on my WinVista PC. I love Firefox and really miss it. Help

I have had few problems with Firefox which I have been using since I first had a computer...just a few minor things which were easily sorted out. Since I downloaded Firefox 9.0.1, I have about 3 to 5 minutes to enjoy it before it crashes. I restart over and over and the same thing happens. Sadly, I am forced to use Chrome for now and want my Firefox back. I hope you can help.

This is a few of the 52 crashes on the about:crashes page. I gave up trying to send all the list because of multiple crashes. It is way too irritating...I will go back to an older version if I can and wait for the next update. I don't know how this suddenly got so hard to use????

Why does CC neeed updating so often. Every time I open it I get prompted to update

why

You need to check the software you run.
Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another. If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there. Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those.

Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I can no longer browse for attachments in AOL Webmail, and every time I open Firefox, it asks me if Mozilla can make changes to my hard drive. I've gone back to Internet Explorer.

I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and ever since then, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my hard drive. I have to answer "Yes" or else it won't open Firefox. Then when I open my AOL Webmail and try to browse for an attachment, it freezes up the browser window and I have to open the Task Manager to close Firefox. I have now gone back to Internet Explorer which does not have either one of these problems.

Maybe just corrupted Disk Utility preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DiskUtility.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try creating a .dmg file.

Since the latest "update" Firefox crashes every time I open it

Since the latest Firefox update, the browser crashes every time I open it. Sometimes I get the "this is embarrasing screen" which asks to restore or start a new session. Either one has the same results - another crash.

Every time I open Firefox or a new Firefox window, my home page opens but so does a second tab showing the LinkedIn login page. Don't know how this started happening or how to stop it.

Figured it out. There was code in the Preferences/home page field telling it to open my home page and that page at the same time in two tabs. Don't know how it happened, but is fixed now.

Yeah, I don't know why I can't find my posted problem of November 18, but it was similar, and I also figured out how to fix it. IF when you open Firefox to your homepage and MORE opens than IS your homepage, then go to tools, options, and check your homepage info. You will find the URLs to your homepage plus whatever windows are opening that you do NOT want. Delete everything but the homepage and close. I had at least 10 windows opening from a browsing session over a week ago every time I opened Firefox... aggravating!
