Everytime I restart Firefox, the homepage changes to http://en-US.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial, and it opens two tabs - that, and this. It also changes the "Downloads" to "save files to [Downloads]" command, and it's VERY annoying. Whether I change all these options or not, when I take off Firefox and open it again, it all comes back :/ I have the newest update. Please help ASAP!
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? You might have done what I did-I accidently ticked off the bos to auto save files -___- And I can't untick it Ad for the tabs opening-do you always close off all tabs running before exiting or just straight shut down-mine does that only if I shut off my laptop while browsing with tabs running.
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? Any changes I make revert back to the old option, so no matter what tabs are open, when I close it, it gets reset, and the new tabs are opened next time I start Firefox.
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? No. Any changes I make within Firefox's options are reset every time I restart Firefox. Waiting for someone like Anandjones, he most likely has the solution to what's wrong.
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? Oh, sorry, didn't see that. ;D Well, have you tried to reinstall it?
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? is this only in firefox or some of your files/programs have similar problems?
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? Sounds like a preference file issue. Go to your Profile folder; C:\Users\Account\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles (Vista listing, will be different in XP etc.), and go into the folder with '.Default User'. Backup your prefs.js file somewhere, and delete the original in the profile folder. Restart/open Firefox, which will automatically create a new one. To see the AppData folder, you will need hidden files and folders to be shown (in Folder Options).
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? What is the XP listing? I'm not too good at this stuff :3 Thanks, Anand!
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? Listing as in the directories will be changed between OSs, XP may be C:\Documents and Settings\ etc.
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? XP will be c:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles and c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles
Re: Firefox has a mind of its own!? Thanks people EDIT: Still doesn't work :/ Post Merge: [time]1253345287[/time] Hey guys! It works now, I had to reinstall it then delete the prefs.js file, and then it was good Please lock!
