Crime Watch which puts ads in Firefox seems to have installed itself somewhere, it does not show up in my programmes and I have used a recommended removal but it is still showing ads. Even turning off add ons doesn't stop it. The last suggestion of the list of ways to get rid of it was to uninstall firefox and reinstall, but of course the site just tells me firefox is up to date when I try to download it and I need to download it before taking it off. The recommendations were to use Adwcleaner, then Malawarebytes and then HitmanPro. Can you help me please Margaret/gencat

I used to be able to click MP3 files, way back when, and Firefox would ask where I wanted to save them. Nowadays it opens a new tab with a flash player. Clicking on 'unknown' files, like .sid, .prg, .zip, .rar pops up 'This is a BIN file. [Cancel] [Save]'. It does not give me a checkbox for 'always do this'. I would like the option to edit so that some file types, such as PDF, regardless of mimetype, always get opened in a new tab if clicked. Also some file types, based on extension, always go directly to 'Where do you want to save the file?' dialog box, regardless if there's a builtin player or viewer or not. In my Firefox (41.0.1 Ubuntu 14.04LTS 32-bit) I never get the 'do this for these files always' choice anymore. Googling led me to delete my mimeTypes.rdf file, and since then even 'well known' file extensions, like .zip, are treated as BIN files and I get the Cancel-or-Save box for those, too - again without the choice to 'always save BIN files'.

I have Firefox set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" on startup. Since upgrading to Firefox 41, I've noticed that it doesn't always remember where I've scrolled to in all of the tabs, which it did perfectly before. Typically not every single tab is affected, but usually a decent portion are. Firefox 41.0.1 did not fix the issue.

Since I've updated, Firefox crashes on startup. I've followed all the different scenarios like re-installing, deleting certain files etc. but still end up with Firefox crashing. It does in fact run in Safe Mode and I took that opportunity to turn off all my add-ons. Didn't help. My guess is that Firefox is allergic to something on my laptop.

I have been running firefox on 'old' format when suddenly it updated (without my prompting) to 41.0.1. I had been listening to music on www.live365.com/genres/classical and suddenly there was no audio. I shut down firefox, my computer and restarted the computer again. No audio at www.live365.com. I have audio with other formats. Went into 'block' and un-blocked all ads. Still no music coming thru from this station. What's up? Does new format 41.0.1 block audio?

I have not been able to get to my Email for three days now. Every time I click on the Mazilla/Firefox icon, the search engine ASK comes up and I can't get rid of it. It has taken over as my search engine and won't let me get to Firefox and my Email! My windows home page doesn't come up at all, nothing is working as it did!!! What's going on? How do I fix it?

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox. For the most part, it's an improvement, but it has some serious problems.

And the big one is with Twitter. If I try to upload a tweet with a photo, I get this message: "Uploading photo failed! Please try again later."

So I have to go back to Chrome, where it works just fine.

I have set up Firefox to bring up three specific tabs. THAT just works fine.

But here's the problem: When I open a new Firefox window, those three tabs come up again. That's not what I want. I want another, single page to come up. A blank page would be fine, as well. But I don't want the three tabs coming up fresh every time I press Ctrl-N.

I stepped away for a bit, and when I came back, both my monitors had stopped for a bit (not sleep or screensaver) and Firefox had crashed. Above is the crash report. I'm not sure what happened.

I have tried all of the fixes in past threads, but FF new update 41 refuses to open new tabs in Google.ca. I have been to about:config and through newtab, adjusted columns and rows to 1 each, tried about:home for the URL, as well as the full URL for Google.ca. I am not using Chrome. No add-ons, no extensions, no profile.js file, no recent programs added without my knowledge. My new tabs come up with Google.ca as a thumbnail, so I have to click on it. This is madness! Google is shooting itself in the foot. Can anyone help me solve this, please?! Thank you.

I have tried EVERYTHING to get PDFs to open in firefox on my mac. They worked about 6 months ago, but then stopped. I have tried changing the application they open in Preferences, applications, I have tried adjusting add-ons, I have tried to enable the pdf viewer. I am using Firefox 41.0.1. I also run Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, version 11.0.12. HELP! I had to start using safari, but now that is making my battery burn up on my mac so I'd like to go back to firefox but can't if I can't get the PDFs to open.

I click the "Install" for flash and it downloads "flashplayer19_ga_install.exe (I've done this probably two dozen time or more with the same outcome). I run the .exe file and get a dialog box that tells me "the connection has failed" try again later. It seems Internet Explorer, Chrome and who knows who else has figured this out. I have every reason to believe that Mozilla could fix it also. Right now I'm stuck with using IE.

I just downloaded firefox. During the process, it asked for my email and a password. I gave the info. I did receive the confirmation that my account has been verified. I went to sign in on the firefox site, but it doesn't recognize me now. Is there another step I am missing?

Starting about two weeks ago, when I try to access www.steepandcheap.com/current-steal with the current version of Firefox on Windows 10, I cannot. It's not that I get an error message, it's just as though the page no longer exists, and I get redirected to the main site. I tried it in safe mode, and the same thing happens. This just started right now on El Capitan, which I have been using since yesterday. This page has been in a tab constantly for years with no problems. Also, it still works in Chrome, so I know it's still there. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello. I'm try to customize the look and feel of FF by editing the userChrome.css.

Firefox has worked fine until this morning. Now it crashes instantly on startup, even in safe mode and even after uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy. I've captured many crash reports, including ID=6c53dcc4-7ca3-4877-a074-9ed522151003

My only workaround so far is to start Firefox as administrator. No idea what to try next...

I can't get Firefox to start. It crashes upon startup. The onset was insidious. I uninstalled and performed a fresh install with no luck.

Crash ID: bp-9900a4f4-df34-4bb8-88ea-e92d52151003

I am using Windows Vista.

Thank you.

I have found these instructions: In case you need more of a step-by-step:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:

   Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
   Blank tab => about:blank
   Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
   Any other page => full URL to the page 

Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked.

 However as per the attached screen shot, I do not have a preference "browser.newtab.url"
