Why won't firefox release when I X out of page?

When I finish with a website and X out of it......then try to get back into my start page through mozilla firefox....I get a message stating that I am still in firefox....it won't let me out until I wait about two minutes....I have read other blogs with the same problem. I just downloaded your latest version of firefox and a section of my virus protection (Trend Micro) is not compatible with firefox as stated in the pop up message...what is that all about. I love firefox but getting discouraged. Please help.....address both problems if you would. Thanks. No generic answers please, please. ~Barb

Greetings:
   I write to report the reverse problem... When Illustrator 9.0  F1[help] is selected firefox is launched. Have reinstalled twice with the same outcome.  This is a Windows Vista Machine.and Internet Explorer 8 is the default browser  Guidance sought.

  • Why won't Firefox let me bring up the uploaded pages of the San Quentin News.

    I’m totally confused by new Firefox behavior concerning my Wordpress blog for the San Quentin News, the prison newspaper I advise that is the only prison newspaper in California and one of the few in the world. www.sanquentinnews.com. The problems don’t arise when I use Safari on either my iMac, my wife’s iMac or our iPad. Just Firefox, and just recently.
    The three Pages I created on the Wordpress blog (Home, Welcome and Comment) still work fine. But the upload pages for the paper’s various issues – Current Issue and Back Issues – don’t work as they did many months before with Firefox.
    When I uploaded the May issue, using the same procedure for media uploads that had worked before, things fell apart.
    After uploading the new issues I tried to access Current Issue and Back Issues. What happens is this: The first time I select an issue sometimes it comes up correctly, with the image filling the screen and the blue scroll bar down the right side that enables me to scroll to all eight pages. But next time I try to access that issue, either nothing happens (blank screen) or when the issue finally comes up after a long delay, it is the first page of the issue centered on the desktop and with no blue scroll bar with which to access other pages.
    Please help! I like the many features of Firefox, but not this one.

    Hi funkyjeans-
    I would suggest altering your printing preferences for Firefox. There is a Support article that describes how to do that here:

    I hope that helps.

  • Why won't firefox crashes when I try to download the latest version of adobe flash player ?

  • Why won't firefox search?

    Why won't firefox search when I type anything into the search bar? It lists everything I've typed in before but when you click search it just sits there doing nothing. If I use the search bar in the top right corner it searches just fine, but nothing from the central search line.
    Also what is the line below this for? if I mouse over it I get a pointy finger, but it is blank and remains blank.

    If you can't clear that saved form and search history then there may be nothing to clear.
    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 won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>
    If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
    Thanks.

  • Why won't firefox close

    Why won't Firefox close properly? When I close the program and then try and restart it, I get an error message which says "Firefox is already open....." I then have to go into the Task Manager to close it down.
    How can I fix this problem?

  • Why won't Firefox won't download?

    Why won't Firefox download? It completed the set up stage then stops.

    If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance.
    In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
    # Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
    #Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
    #Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.
    Please reply and tell us whether this helped you!

  • Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Why won't my printer (Brother HL2270DW) print out Elements User bi-monthly magazine?  Screen says PDF format not supported or printer not connected (it is) or shows an empty screen.  No other printing problems on any website.

    Why won't my printer (Brother HL2270DW) print out Elements bi-monthly magazine.  Screen says either printed not connected (not true) or PDF not supported of shows a blank document.  No problems printing on any other website.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Why won't mail open when click on icon?

    why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

    Howdy lpedvm23,
    If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
    If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
    Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
    Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
    If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why won't Firefox keep my settings?

    For months now I've been using Firefox and it won't keep any of my settings. Also, upon start-up it shows the Mozilla page as if I'd just installed the browser. Its rather annoying because that means I have to redo all of my settings and figure out what pages I was on had I tried to save my tabs. The only thing it seems to remember are my bookmarks. I want to know why its doing this and how to fix it.

    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.<br>
    You can do this via the Profile Folder.

  • Why won't Firefox keeped me logged in to anything after I close and reopen it?

    When I was running an older version of Firefox, when I would close a firefox window and later reopen it, I would stay logged in to everything: facebook, hotmail, gmail with multiple sign in, etc. It would also reload all the tabs I had open without me having to click "restore previous session" I liked this as I could close the window, but keep everything that I was working on or wanted open in Firefox without having to pull it all up again. I have since upgraded to the newest version after installing a new hard drive (Windows 7 still), but whenever I close Firefox, I am logged out of everything and my previous tabs don't restore unless I click "restore previous session" (that still will keep me logged out of everything, even if I click it).
    How do I set up Firefox to not log me out whenever I close the browser and to automatically restore my previous session?
    browser.sessionstore.privacy_level is set to 0 and I do not have "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked.
    Please help! Thanks!

    There is also the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.
