Each afternoon Foxfire launches itself or is launched with the five tabs shown below. This problem has been going on for about a year during which time I have spent more hours than I'd care to admit to try to resolve it.
The problem has persisted through numerous Foxfire updates. I'm running the latest version of Foxfire on Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1.
My guess is that something is causing Foxfire to launch as opposed to Foxfire launching itself. Any ideas?

Why is Firefox v36 asking "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections"? It never did before, so what should I say?

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Have just upgraded Firefox from v35 to v36. Every few minutes I get a message "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections?" It's never done that before, so why now (v36) and what should I say? The message goes on, "Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall panel of security preferences." The other option button is Allow. The computer has always had Firewall switched on. Is Firefox suggesting I now switch Firewall off? What has changed since v35? Has Mozilla offered any information about this? Thank you.

When ever i watch videos i get memory leak, if that's the right word to call it, to avoid video lags i new use only 1 video Tab & not 2 like in the past, its just some sources are slow with loading, that why i use to use 2, awry time i click on next EP memory usage grows & awry time i click on full-screen it grows even more & larger number, depending source, some sources use RAM & some committed memory (but with both memory usage grows with each video), so far anime sources use committed & TV series sources ram, also there was talk that Firefox 36 will be free of Flash, that it goes over to HTML5, but i still see flash in my plugins & also all videos still use flash, with anime ram usage increases to a bit, but not as much as with TV series sources, when will the memory leak be fixed?
EDIT:
lets just say it leaks memory when watching videos, its just worse in full screen, with TV series it doesn't matter full screen or not, still takes a lot of ram, well in the end of the day its a lot, starts from over 300MB & grows, some sources leak ram & some committed
all my adds, its for extra information

Why does Firefox 36.0 make UDP call outs to 239.255.255.250, port 1900?

I just updated my copy of Firefox to version 36.0 on my XP SP3 computer. As soon as the program starts, my firewall alerts me the Firefox is making an outgoing UDP call to 239.255.255.250, port 1900. I deny it and it immediately pops up again. The second time I deny it, it stops for a while and then after about a minute or so, it repeats the process. I made a rule to block the calls. Does anybody know what's going on here? According to my research, 239.255.255.250, port 1900 is the IPv4 multicast address implemented through Universal Plug and Play. Why would Firefox now need to be calling that local address? Is there something I can disable in Options to stop Firefox from making those calls? I try to minimize the number of rules my firewall has to use whenever possible.

OK, I DO NOT have to do ANY of the NORMAL tricks to solve this. So, PLEASE do not tell me to reset, or alter anything. IT IS FIREFOX 36 ITSELF at fault. Previous verion was running smoothly. VERY smoothly. After updating to 36, it went downhill quickly. FIRST I am CONSTANTLY getting SERVER NOT FOUND errors, and SECOND the browsing speed is SLOW. Now, these WILL NOT HELP NOR ARE THEY AT ISSUE: Reset Firefox My addons My AV My Firewall My Profile THESE ARE ALL THE EXACT SAME as in previous version. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE is it is now Firefox VERSION 36. Something in 36 is seriously broken. And yes it is the browser itself NOTHING ELSE.
Sorry about all the caps, but I am angry. Previous updates everything was good. But as soon as 36 installed, no longer good. I am now going to see about downgrading to my previous version just so I can surf again in a smooth and wonderful fashion. IF, and it is a BIG if Firefox's NEXT update fixes these issues, I will be happy to upgrade again then. But I am VERY nervous about ever upgrading again. Now, IF there may be a NEW setting you put into 36 that could be screwing up my surfing, PLEASE let me know so I can change it. I will wait for a bit before doing a downgrade.
Firefox 36 still blocked by WinXP firewall after manually creating exception

The new Thunderbird worked fine this morning on my dev machine, but FF36 (took the upgrade when offered last night, today's the first day out) can't find google. (Network equipment works fine, and seeing as I'm typing this from my non-dev machine my net is unlikely to be the problem.)
Went to a public terminal and read the support notes, got some dev in, etc. Came back here and have implemented the re-exception policy on the dev machine as best I'm able: 1) I'm running WinXP, and AFAIK am not able to update as MS would prefer I waste money on a new OS. So stuck with the windows firewall.
2) I have old versions of FF on the dev machine. After a bit of experimentation--went into the program directory and found the executable was last updated last night--I struck FF from the exception list altogether, and re-added (and enabled) it, as directed. FF was not operating at the time.
3) After thusly re-creating the exception and restarting FF, it continues to be unable to find google, or mozilla for that matter. Request: include a support IRC/e-mail/etc contact in the Help/About, so we don't need to have a working browser to get help getting the browser working.
4) I run AVG but have not enabled its firewall (I'm using the free 2014 version, continuing to update it as needed. Why screw around with another EULA??). I also run Malwarebytes but do not believe that it has any sort of firewall or other blocking component. I was able to update Malwarebytes without problems on my dev machine, as well as execute Git console commands. I was *not* able to connect to IRC via ChatZilla; not a complete surprise, but a Just In Case check.
Be advised that the version/OS/plugins info is NOT representative of that on the machine suffering the problem, as I'm unable to get that machine here thanks to the can't find anything failure.

I usually save my open tabs when I close firefox. If I'm signed in yahoo I am automatically signed out and at firefox restart I am at the yahoo sign in page. After updating to ff 36 I find myself logged in yahoo at ff restart.
I have unticked the option to keep me signed in at the yahoo start-up page, so this is a very serious thing security-wise. Imagine I am in an internet cafe checking my emails and there is a power cut. I have no way to sign out and the next user will find yahoo signed in to my account.
I don't want to have firefox deleting cookies every time I use it, or checking every browser I am using of what the settings are. And even if I do, it still won't resolve the issue posed in the above scenario.
Any advice plz?

System details: OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bits) Graphics Card: PNY NVidia GT 610 (2GB) RAM: 5GB Firefox version: 36.0 (32-bits)
Starting yesterday, when images would load on websites, some of them would either be completely black, or mostly black, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully load several minutes later.
Turning off hardware acceleration resolved this issue, but reduced the overall performance of firefox. Is there any other way to work around this issue, besides turning off hardware acceleration?
Note: The only 2 things I didn't try were resetting firefox, and a fresh install of firefox. I don't want to lose my addon data, and custom firefox settings, because it takes too long for me to put them back where they are now.
I'm also fairly computer savvy, so you can get pretty technical with me. If I don't understand something, I will ask.

when I view a video on Firefox, it stops to buffer. The problem started when Firefox updated itself about a week or so ago. Before the update the videos on Firefox ran good with no buffering issues. Now it take up to 5 minutes to view something. Even the commercials will stop to buffer. How can I get this fixed?
Updated Firefox today, Dec 9th, 2014, and now no videos will play on FB or Youtube; black screen. Reinstalled Flash player to no avail.

When I turn on the computer Google comes up for me to sign in to because (I guess) that's the email corporation. But there are icons on a "bar" that are apparently Firefox. And nothing that says Mozilla. It seems to me that Firefox used to come up and then there was a place to click on Google for email.
I don't understand these relationships and what a browser is vs homepage vs search engine (which is always, for some reason, a thing called "bing"). Younger computer savvy people cannot seem to give me the answers - they will always start talking circles around my head as if I already understand these things. At my work, the only class I ever got was when all this started around 1991.
FF36: Sites with background image flickers/flashes when going back to tab after 2 minutes.

Figure I'll mention this here as well.
When viewing websites with background images, such as twitter.com or my own website at www.markheadrick.com and I change to another tab for 2 minutes (this amount of time is repeatable anyway) I get a flicker of a black background before the page is fully drawn. If I have multiple tabs with the same background image, only the first tab will show the flicker. It's like it's loosing the image in memory or something. It has done this with Firefox in Safe Mode and with a new, clean profile. It has also done this with Hardware Acceleration off.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit w/ NVidia 550ti and 314.22 drivers. Newer drivers are more problematic which is why I have stayed with these.
Again, only pages with background images seem to show this flicker. Did not happen with Firefox 35 on my system.
I created a bug for it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137082
Thanks, Mark H
