can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now
Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

Firefox should allow you to open multiple Windows. I think that may be what you are trying to do.
At the moment do multiple tabs open on one Window.
- If you right click a tab do you get a drop down menu including an option to Move to new window
- does that work ok ?
Possibly you used to have Firefox set to open links in a new window and now have it set to open in a tab
(There are methods of opening multiple instances or versions of Firefox, but that is an advanced topic, and not what I think you are asking about.)
Yes, I have no problem with tabs.. I can have as many of those open as I want. It is just when I start my computer, I can only open fiirefox once... if I close the whole browser, then it won't come up again later.. I will have to restart my whole computer if I want to open firefox again..
As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
- Firefox button -> File -> Exit
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
- see Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
- this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
- use Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information
-> [Show Folder] - see Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
You need to look for the files sessionstore.js and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.
