This window looks weird: there are 2 blue bars(the upper blue bar - normally there is 1, with the current page name and - Mozilla Firefox written in white inside of the bar) plus in the 2nd bar there is an orange firefox button, on the left hand side.

I have already asked this question and was adviced to start in safe mode - this did not help either.

Please help me quickliy, it is really annoying.

Thanks Richard

Firefox Crash

Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

-> Basic Troubleshooting: Make a New Profile

-> If that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.

-> Recovering important data from an old profile


Opening Links in New Tab

-> click Firefox button and click Options (or Tools Menu -> Options) -> Tabs panel -> place Checkmark on Open New Window in a New Tab instead -> click OK


Check and tell if its working.
