Why does internet options reset every time I start firefox 5.0?

Everytime I restart firefox, it is not able to connect to the internet. The proxy setting in the network settings is set to manual proxy configuration. Even though I set it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network. It does not save the setting. It goes back to manual again when I shut down firefox. And the next time I restart firefox, I have to set it again. This has never happened in previous versions. Started only after I installed 5.0. Am I doing something wrong ??

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning
Bear in mind that Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA, so there are bound to be problems with it still.
So do your bit and report the issue using the Feedback option. The full candidate is slated for release on June 21.

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?

Is it possible to NOT have 'Restore Previous Session' option come up automatically every time you start Firefox?

A large envelope pops up mid-screen every time I start Firefox, asking if I want to restore previous session. I don't want all users after me to have this option, but don't want to keep an empty history either. Can I deselect this option somewhere? Looked around, but found nothing.

Unfortunately changing the options found under "Completely disable session restore" does not make any difference to this problem.

In addition to my home page, every time I start Firefox a tab opens with notifacation of an updated addon. Why does this tab continue to appear even though there is no updated version of the addon?

Why am I getting a terminal 80x24 screen every time I start up my iMac?

Is there a setting so this window doesn't pop up anymore? It started to pop -up out of the blue, not sure why? And now I can't seem to get rid of it. I have pulled it from the dock, as was suggested in one of the forums, but it seems to re-appear every time I start up.
Any ideas? What do I need to do to get rid of the unix shell on start up?
Cheers,
Chris

Why am I getting a "terminal-bash 80x24 screen"?
Why not?
Your question is unclear.
Are you saying, out of no where, the Terminal opens and you now have this strange window on your display?
Are you saying, you want to know why your Terminal window is 80 columns wide, but 24 lines tall?
Are you saying, you want to know why bash is your Unix shell?
Are you saying, when you launch Terminal, you have a message on the screen or in the title bar saying: "terminal-bash 80x24 screen"?
Can you clarify?

Start up every time i start firefox. Why

Startup conf everytime i start firefox, Why ?

Hi Enjo-
Would you please add more detail? I'm not clear what the problem is.

Why in God's name is it that every time YOU update firefox my add-on's break? I'll stop using your browser if you are going to keep breaking the plugins platform and require plug-in developers to re-write their plugins to stay compliant! That's retarded!

every time you people update the browser 1/2 or more of my plugins end up broken. WHY? It's counter productive when I rely on some of the add-ons I use. I'll just stop using your browser. Do you know that it gives the impression that it SUCKS?! (By the way, I had updates TURNED OFF and yet it still updated? HOW?!)

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.

Why do my bookmarks rearrange themselves every time I start Firefox 3.6?

I recently installed Windows 7 on this computer and upgraded to Firefox 3.6. I used Fierfox Sync to import my old links, and right away I noticed that the order of my list of links changes every time I open Firefox. Thinking it had something to do with Firefox Sync, I uninstalled the addon, but the problem persists. It's not exactly crippling, but it's enough of an annoyance that I'm ready to switch to another browser. What's going on?
Here are a few additional observations:
* It doesn't appear that Firefox is trying to arrange the list by alphabetic or numeric order. Every time I open the program, the list appears in a completely different order.
* It also doesn't appear that Firefox is trying to arrange them in order of "most visited" or "most recently visited". There's at least one site that I have visited only once or twice that keeps creeping up the list. While sites I visit several times a day seem to move around at random.
* Links in folders (and folders within other folders) seem to be unaffected. Although the top-level folders do move around the list.
* When I try to rearrange my list, the space between the first and second items on the Bookmarks Menu is untouchable. I cannot place links, folders or seperators there. But I can move the first and second items to other places on the list, and I can place items just above or just below them.
* I also occasionally have trouble placing links in other spots on the list. When I drag them to a location and release them, they appear 2, 3 or 4 spots below where I expect them to appear. It feels like Firefox is trying to force them into a specific order, but it's not based on their names, addresses or frequency of use.
* Items at the top of the list move around a lot more than items at the bottom. I have a few links that I keep at the bottom of my list "just in case" I need to visit an old business site. And they have been unaffected by this problem.
* I have the same problem with my Bookmarks Toolbar list and my Bookmarks Menu List. Fortunately links haven't jumped from one list to another.

MikeClark - removing Viewpoint Media Player did the trick for me too. Thank you.

Every time I start firefox 4, I get a popup asking me questions about Yahoo. Checking "don't show this again" doesn't work. How do I stop it?

See question...

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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why do I have to log into CC every time I start my PC?

I am the only one that uses my PC, I don't want to have to look up my lastpass password every morning when I log in. I have tried reinstalling, deleting folders in the Program Data folders etc and nothing works. Any assistance or update on an upcoming feature would be greatly appreciated. I find it funny that the Adobe website can keep me logged in weeks after signing in but the desktop application can't manage to do that.

I don't have that problem. This solution was posted by Rajshree in the Creative Cloud Forum.
Rename the SLStore to SLStore.old from this Location
Windows:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Once done please rename OOBE to OOBE.old from this Location
Windows:
C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Please launch any Creative cloud application and let us know if it helps.

Why do i always create recovered photos folder every time i start up iPhoto?

Every time i open iPhoto '09 IO get a message that says, "74 ITEMS WERE FOUND IN IPHOTO LIBRARY THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IMPORTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO IMPORT NOW?" I have tried to import and also cancel and it keeps coming up. What an annoyance!! How do I remove this because it creates a recovered photo folder in my library each time... It has done this ever since I bought the program just didn't have time to ask for help! LOL

Right Click - point to the iPhot library (by default in your pictures folder) and click on the right mouse button (or control - click for a single button mouse - or two finger click for a default track pad

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 does java want administrator permission to change my system every time I start Firefox?

Java is runtime 6, update 31. What's up? It is _not_ set to run as administrator and _not_ set for any compatibility mode.

First, please update your Firefox. Firefox 3.6.8 is extremely out of date, unstable and insecure. Please read [[Updating Firefox|Updating Firefox]].
