Firefox problem on Windows 7
Recently Mozilla Firefox has started misbehaving on my Windows 7 Pro
machine. Both Windows and Firefox fully updated. Firefox will function normally until it is x'ed off. After that it refuses to restart and although it is my default browser when I tick a link it refuses to start and link up. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a clash between the latest updates of Windows 7 and Firefox because until recently everything ran very smoothly and suddenly Firefox started refusing to re-start. It won't even start when I click my desktop shortcut let alone start when I click a link on the Usenet. Any others with this problem? Firefox is OK after I first start the machine or do a restart. But once I click Firefox off, that's it. It will NOT come up again until a Restart or until I turn my mahine off and then on again. -- choro ***** |

Have you checked Task Manager to see if FF is still active after you "click it off"? If so, perhaps it (FF) won't allow two instances. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder?

So FF won't let 2 instances run at the same time. But why is it not exiting in a normal manner? Perhaps uninstalling completely and a new install? Fokke |

It takes a while to swap out of the page file when it has been running for a while (a few days +) with many tabs open. When I close Firefox, I have to wait for the hard disc activity light to stop flashing before I can restart it. -- :: je suis Charlie :: yo soy Charlie :: ik ben Charlie :: |

Fokke Uninstalling and re-installing will do nothing as the profile would need to be manually deleted. Occasionally I have had a similar problem and found that clearing cache helps |

Yes, FF allows you to run multiple instances, but what I tried to say is this: When it exites in a normal way, you can restart it again. But when it crashes and an instance is still running in the Task Mgr, it will not start again. Only when that instance that runs in the Task Mgr is killed, you can start FF again. I've been there.

Not once it is X'ed off. I've also tried uninstall and reinstall. It soon reverts to its old tricks again. I know all I have to do is to minimize it rather that X it off but old habits die hard. It is really annoying. As for not being allowed to run in 2 instances, Firefox does and run in more just 2 but in multiple instances just by opening another completely new run with each instance with actually with quite a few tabs. In that respect Firefox is really versatile. I believe the problem arises because my Firefox does not fully shut down when it is X'ed off even though it is not shown as a running program in Task Manager. -- choro ***** |

So FF won't let 2 instances run at the same time I have just tried multiple instances of FireFox on Win 7, I got bored after opening seven. Photo here http://micklord.com/testpage/ For me on Win 7, I have 6 instances of Firefox on the Taskbar and combined they have about 45-50 tabs open, but Task Manager shows just a single instance of Firefox running. That's how Firefox has always worked here. With Firefox running, if I try to start it again I just get another window and of course another Taskbar icon. It's still just a single instance of the running program, however, or at least that's how it looks here. The Task Manager pic in the link above seems to show the same thing, although it looks more like Win 8 in the pic. I would conclude that Firefox only allows a single instance of the program to run at a time. You can stack multiple windows (tabbed or not) on top of that one instance, but I'd say it's still a single instance. Try this as an experiment: kill the one instance of Firefox in Task Manager and see if all of your Firefox windows don't all collapse at once. They do, here. If multiple instances of the program were running, some windows would survive. -- Char Jackson |
