Chosen solution

Hi rameshbhai, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

thank you

I had this problem after installing a new version of Firefox 40.0.3. I ignored the errors till they locked on first page load. The was also another problem with the malware funsmood. It would load every time I added another tab. I brought Firefox in the safe mode and no apparent problem. I then renamed user.js and went into add-0ns and removed all the BS add-0ns including funsmood. NO MORE problems.

How do you mark it solved?

The idea came to mind the if the add-ons ar going to be included in the download. Then the add-on should be set to activate as needed.
