Foxytunes has not been available for several Firefox upgrades. I also not longer have the sort addon for Bookmarks. These are far more useful to me than social media addons.

I am now getting the 'well this is embarrassing...' message EVERY time I open Firefox; I have my Home page set to always open 9 tabs - these are the SAME tabs I have opened at start-up for about 2 years - WHY this annoying message now?! When I click 'close' the Home page opens with all the tabs with no problem, but the message is really irritating & doesn't seem to be telling me anything, as there isn't a problem with any of the tabs? NB: In case you ask 'why 9 tabs'?; these are essential websites I use every time I am browsing/working; I cannot keep opening them manually every time. Please advise why this message comes up as here seems to be no problem, & how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

I am getting the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application" when I start Firefox. I have done the research, and still cannot get it fixed.

I like firefox, but cannot use it now. This just started up yesterday mid day. Never had a problem with it before. I have installed Google Chrome, and it works fine, just FireFox does not.

I want my FireFox back.

I have tried the fix that others are talking about, about renaming the database files, places. However, I cannot find those files anywhere, I have searched the entire computer, and nothing.

What is going on?????

Recently when I click on a .pdf file link I am no longer able to open the file in a adobe reader either within a FIREFOX webpage or open it using the full adobe program. Instead it opens a SAVE dialog box requesting me to save to my harddrive. I am not sure what has happened and am trying to find someone who might know what is going on?

When I am watching a video that requires adobe flash player, for example YouTube, and I unplug my extended monitor my Firefox freezes completely and a minutes later displays an error. I get the error message : "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml236" [ Continue ] [ Stop script ]

Firefox freezes when I click 'Continue' then unfreezes a few minutes later and the message comes back. When I click 'Stop script' my adobe flash crashes on all pages I have and needs refreshed. How can I fix this or is this a known bug? I also noticed that I now have an Adobe Flash Player audio mixer volume(speaker) when I have FireFox open. I didn't have this before. I'm curious to why the script is in the directory of Chrome as well.. Thanks.

I've been a Firefox user since before the beginning. I used the original Netscape 1.0.

Tonight I did one thing: add my Android Tablet browser to sync.

IT IMMEDIATELY ERASED ALL MY GODDAMN BOOKMARKS!

I realize that sync is not a form of backup but the one thing it should NEVER do is ERASE anything.

I've had it with this piece of crap browser. It has been steadily going downhill for a long time and I'm fed up with it. This is the last straw. It's not like there aren't alternatives.

Non-destructive alternatives.

My homepage is my.yahoo.com and is listed as the start page under Options > General. This address is my customized Yahoo page. When FF v. 21 (just updated yesterday) starts the generic version of My Yahoo starts with the URL http://my.yahoo.com/?_bc=1. So each time I start FF I have to manually log in to Yahoo to get my personalized start page. I check the box to remember me, but to no avail. I have cookies enabled.

Never had this problem until the update. Any ideas?

seems to be some adware/malware that captures where I go on the net. it slows down page loading significantly. Every time I click a link or renew a page it shows in the lower left hand corner ("connecting i.simpli.fi").

How can I get rid of it?

I am running firefox 21.0.

Thanks. Jim

Hello Firefox Forum helpers

So Yesterday i opened Mozilla and everything was normal Till i got a weird message saying the Following : A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: http://www.gstatic.com/bg/vCt3jT-yDKiibCfPvg7VU88K5y9oo1XwPZhbNBmPvNI.js:1 ..............

and when i hit Continue Firefox Freezes and start to Not Respond and then Shuts Down and I've tried to Stop Script too but it's not working . the Same problem

Some people Advised me to Change my browser but of Course No i won't Change Firefox

and this happens for Sites such As Facebook, blogs , any site with Ads on it

i've installed java Several times i've updated Mozilla Too .. i have no Add ons

Please any Solutions this problem is Bugging me

I have received the "Firefox has prevented this page from redirecting to another page." message and have clicked on ALLOW. I now understand that was a mistake and I want future attempts by this page to redirect to be BLOCKED. I have tried removing all cookies but that doesn't do it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I was lissening to online radio. Firefox needed to update. After the latest update the windows media player plugin dissapeared from the add-on list, while still being installed correct. I reinstalled it, but that didn't work. I replaced/deleted some files in firefox as suggested for similiar problems, but that didn't work either. Now I can't play wmp files anymore on firefox.

I hope u can help me solve this problem.

There needs to be clarification on the Java issues. It's clear that we can disable Java in the java control panel itself and/or via the plug-in link.

However, what about the firefox options menu? Where you click Tools_Options_Content and then you can check or un-check "Enable JavaScript" -- is that safe to be checked/enabled or is that also part of the security concern w/ Java right now?

While trying to track down which Add-On is hammering my CPU, I found another odd behaviour while trying to disable plug-ins one-by-one: With certain plug-ins (specifically Flash, Foxit Reader, and Silverlight), the next time I restart Firefox, they are enabled again. After disabling them a few times, they finally stay disabled on restart, but then I can't re-enable them. (Same thing happens, but in reverse; I enable them, but they return to disabled on restart.)

At one point I was trying to disable Foxit and Silverlight and re-enable Flash. Each time I restarted, Foxit and Silverlight would be enabled again and Flash disabled again. After about five or six attempts over two days, suddenly it worked.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? I don't recall ever having problems disabling unwanted plugins before.

Note: This is about plug-ins, not extensions. And this isn't about permanently disabling or removing plugins.

Прошу простить меня за вопрос, не относящийся только к фф, но вы последняя надежда. Уже более полугода мучаюсь. Вышеуказанные сайты грузятся раз через 10 (в 9 случаях из 10 получаю уведомление "Соединение было сброшено").

Вины провайдера (МТС коннект 3G) в том нет - пробовал на другой машине с тем же модемом и все работает. Другие браузеры так же отказались грузить эти сайты (Опера, Хром, IE). Грузит их только TOR. 
Файл Hosts чист, антивирус - Nod 32 Eset Smart Security 6. Фаервол не мешает (отключал, добавил сайты в список исключений), да и вообще антивирус тут не при чем (вчера переустанавливал систему - так проблема возникла еще до установки последнего). Брандмауэр отключен (Windows XP SP3, 32). Бана моей подсети на сайте нет - узнавал. Сайты работают у других, без сомнений. Вирусов нет (проверял уже чем угодно...AVZ, Nod, Antimalware, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool). Трассировка идет нормально (иногда бывают потери на конечном хосте). Прямой ввод ip сфйта в адресную строку не принес результата. 

Помогите пожалуйста. Заранее благодарен. С уважением, Олег

Sorry folks, I have asked the writer but just want to keep options open.

"Net usage item 1.2.337.1" It used to work. Now it constantly just gives a red circle with a white cross in it.

But, if I RMB in it, and "visit ISP usage page" it works.

So if it opens the link and can show me on a page, SOMETHING has changed, but where? Anyone else have this error?

P.S. My ISP is bigpond.

When I go to this website, I get a view of what looks like navigation buttons, not the correct display. When I use internet explorer to go to this same address, I get the proper website display. I have cleared cache, and have tried typing in the website address directly. all with the same bad result. How do I fix this?
