Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

While browsing pages through Firefox it comes up with a new window error pop up. Two of the tabs show this message - Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ and a third tab says problem loading page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on several occasions and this has not fixed the problem. I run an XP environment and have Trend Micro virus protection. This has only began occuring since updating to the latest version of Firefox. I have copied and pasted all the data that comes up on the first 2 tabs into the troubleshooting information field.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Since updating to the latest version of firefox.

Troubleshooting information

Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
