This happens most always after visiting Yahoo mail and on. Only quitting and relaunching Firefox completely solves the issue.
Clicking them only puts a check mark next to the blank item and no window shows. Check Window menu, I see a no-name page, or several or even very many no-name pages in the menu. In a nutshell: Click dock icon when Firefox is running but no windows are open. I can't open Firefox from the dock until I completely quit and relaunch it.
I get an invisible window when visiting certain sites, as indicated in the window pulldown menu, there are several no-name pages, or even MANY no-name pages stretching down beyond what I can even see at the bottom of the screen, listed there (just a blank entry where a page name would be) and no window will open when I click the dock icon Mac OSX 10.6.8. Possibly a compromise of security in the program.įirefox doesn't open half the time when clicking from the dock when it's running and here's why. So can anyone tell me another, or better, avenue to report this? I'm about to start reporting it all over the web as a possible security issue because I have no idea what all these "fake" Window menu items are doing, if anything. Guess no one at Mozilla will bother to acknowledge this very real and annoying Firefox Bug and it certainly hasn't been addressed in v28.

Well I have a fresh fast new OS install as a result.
I can only think some small thing changed in the code with the Firefox v27 release that caused this to stick like it did. It is unimaginable that anything in the Mac OS was responsible for this when all had worked fine for years and I had even done a fresh install of the OS. Something caused this after years of working normally and I went way above and beyond as I indicated to find this stupid bug. Why this would happen is beyond me, and why it would happen with everything I did is a mystery, one the devs should look into (if they even bother to read these reports) for the future. This seems to have solved the problem reported, there was some strange bug causing the invisible Window menu items with these settings, until I changed to Private browsing mode then back to normal. Today I changed it to "Always use private browsing mode," and browsed to the trouble sites and many others, then I changed it back to the preferred settings in the screen shot.
I normally use the settings indicated in the screen shot for History settings.ĭuring all my testing, I was using the default "Remember History" setting and changed nothing in prefs and the bug was persistent on default settings. Clicking them only puts a checkmark next to the blank item and no window shows. Check Window menu, I see a no-name page, or several no-name pages in the menu. This has started within the last 3 or 4 updates to Firefox. I have repeatedly cleared cookies and cache. I have repeatedly deleted sessionstore.js. I have Reset Firefox, tried with and without addons, COMPLETELY deleted all firefox files from my system (searched for all files hidden or otherwise for firefox) several times and reinstalled fresh, and the problem persists. I get an invisible window, as indicated in the window pulldown menu, there are several no-name pages listed there (just a blank entry where a page name would be) and no window will open when I click the dock icon Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.
