Doubles anyone?

I have just started using FireFox for my internet service and some where along the line I have done something wrong. When I click on the FoxFire icon to go to the web I get a instant full page and then another page will open and it is a smaller page (3/4), but after a brief time it will become full page in size. It does not really hurt anything, it is a pain. Any suggestions?

Thanks as always for all advice you may send,

Dave

 

I never used Foxfire or do you mean Firefox ?

 

Foxfire?

 

Yes I do mean Firefox!

 

uninstall it and reinstall it

 

This is a very good and practical advice. You will lose more time by tracking the issue than by reinstalling Foxfire However, you'll never know what to do if that thing happens again. So it really depends on whether you want to quickly fix an issue or to learn something new.

BTW, I can't help with Firefox settings and extra windows/tabs appearing, as I am not very familiar with FF. But on the first glance that looks to me like some spyware/nagware popup may be appearing when you start Firefox.
twodogs44, do you have any AntiSpyware scanner installed? If so, do a scan. If not, get SUPERAntiSpyware (free home version, the blue one) and do a scan. Preferably report back

Cheers.

 

I have several anti spyware scanners installed.

 

When uninstalling Firefox, also remember to delete its profile.

 

As much as I hate saying this, I found the cause of the double page on entering the internet. Some time ago every time I open a new page on the net it would come minimized and I had to change everyone of them each and every time I would visit that page. I was told to find and download a program tittled "Autosizer" and it worked. The last time I had used it I forgot to close it and it was causing my problems with the Doubles.

Thanks to one and all,
