Firefox-Hilfeforum

Windows XP SP3. This started with Firefox v.18.0. When any activity cancels the screensaver, all display returns as before, except Firefox. FF window will close using the corner "X", but no other toolbars are visible or functional. No new add-ons since the 18.0 update.

I was looking up a word in an online thesaurus, when a window popped up saying "warning, unresponsive script". There are 4 options, none of which create any response. The window just stays there. Clicking "stop script" does nothing. I have another tab open in that browser window with writing that took me HOURS to compose. If I force quit it will lose it. Help help help!! Thank you in advance for any help with this!!

I do not have a Master Password that I am aware of.

i got an email from Google that someone had tried to hack into my account and to change my password immediately.

When I tried to follow their instructions on how to change a Password this dialog box came up and I cant cancel it.

Any help greatly appreciated

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.

I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.

Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.

My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.

I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.

Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I asked this over and over and this page is giving me the run around! I 'm going to cut and paste this question!

I reset Firefox and NCH Software facing still opens up as my homepage!! Yes, clicked OK after reset and closed the computer . It doesn't work. I read the other people's issues with this same problem here on the forum and it doesn't work for me. Help please!

I'm attempting to use the latest firefox (v32) on Debian/testing/64bit using the 64bit version of FF.. This machine is a laptop and is only used with wifi. The wifi that is generally used is either a Starbucks or McDonalds which requires a click on a webpage before the connection is enabled.. When I start FF to be able to click this checkbox, it does not start. a look at the ps -xua shows firefox as a defunct/zombie process.. The way I've been working around this, is to use Google Chrome to pull up the webpage, click the box, then almost immediately the FF instance I tried to start comes up.. If I clicked the FF icon more than once I get more than one FF window.. It appears FF needs an open pipe to the internet before it will start. I MUCH prefer FF over Chrome, but if I'm going to have to use Chrome to "kick-start" FF, I might as well remove FF and just use Chrome.. Any ideas??

The Juniper J-web management (java?!) page is not viewed right. With Firefox in fullscreen mode, You will see a purple line in top; in windowed mode the graphics looks resized with a small symbol in the lower right corner. But you can't resize.

Hello, youtube videos are freezing for no reason, mostly after 14 seconds and never start playing again. I need to refresh page often more than 1 time to get video load. I'm using latest flashplayer, and I guess firefox (32.0.2) too couse I have automatical updates. For addons I use adblockplus, youtube high definition 32.0 and proxymate.

For plugins i use adobe acrobat 11.0.9.29, Java se7 u67 10.67.2.1, pando web plugin 1.0.0.1, shockwave flash 15.0.0.152. 

I have read about adblock plus can couse this problem but when I disable it, nothing changes. Also i have reinstalled flash player, firefox used Ccleaner to clear all cookies, history, etc. and it doesnt help. I have tried Google chrom with same addons and it works, but i dont want to use Google chrom so i ask you what to do.

Apparently, crashing YouTube is no longer compatible with Windows 8. Today I had to restart my computer five times because YouTube freezing and crashing managed to break my entire desktop. This only happens with Firefox. Also, YouTube is much slower to load on Firefox, which will most likely make Windows 8 crash more often.

The manual proxy settings no longer work for me with v32.0.3 Windows 32-bit version. I have tried disabling all add-ons, resetting everything, and removing then reinstalling.

Anything else I can try?

I'm running the latest version of Firefox (as of 3 Oct 2014-- can't check which version because I can't figure out which button to press-- see question) on Windows 8.1. I haven't closed the browser but suddenly ALL icons have disappeared. If I click on the blank spaces, the functions will still work (e.g. I can still close a tab), but I cannot see the following: Reload, Home, etc. buttons; Bookmark folder icons; Any of the icons in the Settings tab; Exes in the upper right-hand corner of the tabs; Favicons.

http://i100.independent.co.uk website won't load. Loads fine in Safari and Chrome.

Have cleared cookies and cache. Have started in safe mode with all add-ons/extensions/plugins off. Have checked firewall and cleared anything that might be related and is blocked.

Just get a message in the bottom left "Waiting for ... "

Firefox 32.0.3 Mac OS 10.9.5

I can't open a new window. I can't select preferences. I can't shut it down even when I try to force quit. Going to the finder and shutting down does not work. This prevents me from shutting down my computer.

Okay. A few days ago, I suddenly began having issues with Firefox crashing every time I try to save any sort of file. It doesn't matter the type - image, file, etc.

I have tried everything I can find in the forums and troubleshooting sections.

I started Firefox in safe mode. Still crashed. I reset it. Still crashed. I rolled back to an earlier version. Still crashed. I deleted Firefox and did a clean install. Still crashed. I have checked for updates on all the plugins/add-ons/extensions. Still crashed. I updated my graphics drivers. Still crashed.

I can't even include a link to the most recent crash report because every time it crashes, I get a message that Firefox had a problem submitting the crash report. I'm out of ideas at this point. I have a lot of extensions installed and enabled, but even fresh from the new reinstall, before I added any of them back, the browser would crash whenever I tried to save anything.

Please help!

I installed Stylish a few months ago, and it worked perfectly for a while - and then one day it just stopped. Nothing works. I checked to see if Firefox had updated - nope. I disabled and re-enabled the add-on - nope. I uninstalled and reinstalled it - nope. I installed a test script, thinking that maybe the problems were with individual scripts - nope. I went through the steps as directed here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982460) but that didn't work either.

While doing the last one I actually managed to fix another add-on that hadn't worked properly on this computer's Firefox - I have another computer that it worked perfectly on, and I think this computer's files for it were corrupted. I cleared out all that add-on's files on this computer and transferred the other computer's files for the add-on over, and now it works perfectly. However, when I tried this for Stylish (which also works perfectly on the other computer) it didn't work.

tl;dr: there's something wrong with this computer's Firefox and/or its files for the Stylish add-on, and I'd like to get whatever it is fixed.

Firefox is crashing my X windows every time I try to start it. Actually so is Thunderbird, but right now I don't have time to try to reinstalll the packages, move my profile., or any of the standard moves.

All  I want to do is fetch a few bookmarks from my Toolbar. I've searched for them in the backfiles -- text of course -- and had not luck.  So I tried python to read the sqlite db's.  

On all the databases, I get the error: "file is encrypted or is not a database."

It'd be one thing if it were just a single db file, but it's all of them: cookies, places, permissions, etc.

When I open Firefox , multiple tabs open!! I have done everything from changing the pipe to %7C , scanning for malware , resetting my homepage to just one , and just about every other solution stated in your help community!! I had this problem once before , I did something and it worked! That was a few months ago so I don't remember what I did! It's like that Firefox is not remembering any changes that I make! And yes , I looked up solutions as to why that Firefox isn't changing my preferences or saving my changes also! And I have tried almost all of those solutions too! Nothing is working... thank you for your time...

Hello, Currently I am required to make IE my default browser in order for my "join a meeting" through Lync 2010 to work. I would prefer to use Firefox as my default as it is a much better browser. The goal I am after is to click on join a meeting in my Outlook and then revert me back to my Lynch 2010 application loaded on my computer.
