OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Does Firefox Open By Itself On Startup
May 3, 2012
On every restart, Firefox opens by itself and installs itself in the dock no matter what I do. I've made sure the settings in Lion are correct for re-opening apps. Also, I tried to delete a line from a Stickie and it reappears on startup. It's just in my user profile. I created another test user and it didn't happen.

how do I open pdf links with firefox 11? I will be happy if it works woth either preview or reader, as long as it works. It worked on macbook pro running 10.7.2 from the same links but the functions disappears for no apparaent reason. Once or twice a year for decades-leaving the simple user to guess whether the addon, reader, browser needs to be updated or reloaded - trial and error Already reinstalled acrobat reader X and checked for addons and addons update

A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. Understand I am a novice user compaired to most so, here is what I've done so far. Deleted FF in Apps. (trashed)Deleted FF profile (trashed)Attempted stoping any process in the activity monitor(nothing there)Force quit FF (nothing there) Searched every place I can think of for any file named Firefox or Mozilla with no results.cannot find anything in a "profile" that looks FF related Tried re-downloading FF and re-installing(same error prompt) Tried restarting the comp I made the switch to Apple this year because owners and users of Mac seem to very proud of their product, so does Mac according to the price.

Safari 5.1.5
Firefox 12.0
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Safari keeps reloading pages and then eventually shows "can't view webpage" I tried installing firefox, but it just crashers when i try going to websites. I've removed all internet plug-ins and get the same results. The last major updated that i did was the java update for the flashback virus that was going around.

Do you all experience this much? I'll get pop-ups that make themselves new tabs, or separate windows themselves. I have the option checked to block them in preferences. Is there any add-on you all use that may help? I know some things are going to get through no matter what. So I just thought I'd see what others experiences' were.

My Firefox no longer opens up on top when I run it, rather opening underneath other applications. I've searched within preferences but I can't seem to figure it out. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

I'm unable to open one URL in either Safari or Firefox but have no problem on my laptop. Tried using another user account but it still won't work.
Read this link posted here: [url]...
Both my sister and I share the same network name and I tried entering the URL with numbers and it still does not work. It's been like this for a week.

I am at present studying Dreamweaver at home on my Mac Pro OS10.6.8.
Part of the process of making a webpage, one has to open it through the internet. Firefox is my choice but unfortunately when pressing F12, Firefox opens but does not open my Dreamweaver based work.
I have searched online and it appears quite a few years back alot of people were experiencing the same with their (now older) versions of Firefox.

When I click on my Firefox icon now, it brings up the window to choose safe mode or reset. It won't do anything in either.
I have re-started many times. I have shut down and restarted. Nothing is working!
I have no menu bar, no availability to pull down from anything. Just the spinning wheel.
Firefox is my default browser and I have many tabs and open windows I would love to access.

I heard about a software a few weeks ago where you could set it up so that a certain link always opens in a certain browser. I didn't need it at the time, but now I could really use it, and I can't remember what it was called!

Also, I receive a "Server cannot be found message" when attempting to access Facebook and Youtube. Almost all other pages seem fine but I just receive error messages when attempting to view these few. I am using a new wireless network and wondered whether this could be the problem.

I have a website that I need to open with Safari as it won't display properly in Firefox 3.6.3. From the Address Bar in Safari, I dragged a link to my desktop, right-clicked and checked it to always open with Safari. The name of the link is something like "PITA.webloc"
When it opens that first time, it dose open in Safari, but subsequently, always opens in FF. I also right-clicked to "Get Info" and indicated it to always open with Safari. While "Get Info" shows that correctly, it still always opens in FF.

I prefer Firefox. But when I click on a link in an email, it opens in Safari. I searched for 'browser' and 'default' in my computer's help (no hits), and I searched the forum for 'apple mail' and 'firefox' with no good hits. Maybe related, but I see no way to make Firefox my default browser. I do have it set to open on startup, and safari does not open. But if I click on a link in an email, it will still open safari instead of using Firefox.
