I have a lot of Firefox Add-ons. They are updated from time to time. Each automatic update opens a "firstrun" page in a new tab. Something like "Firebug Release Notes" or "You have just installed Tab Mix Plus".
How to get rid of them?
In the new Firefox 14, plugins are updated in the background (not only on startup as it was in previous versions). So, it's much more annoying - suppose you are reading some web page, and suddenly a new tab opens!

These "firstrun" pages appear only when you perform updates of the add-ons installed. There is an option where you choose not to update the add-ons automatically but it involves you manually check from time to time if there are any new updates to your add-ons. The thing is that add-ons have minor updates in case a Firefox version doesn't change from something like 14.0.1 to 15.0.0. You should worry when the browser is updated to a major version and then checking for updates is a must because of the main reason: compatibility between browser and its installed add-ons.
I have attached an image where you can see where to disable automatic update of the add-ons. You can go to Tools > Addons > Click the little "wheel" next to Search all add-ons field > Uncheck "Update add-ons automatically".
I have been told to use this as browser to open the MR.Site e-mails. Not sure if it's a good idea after reading some reviews. Will it put bugs in my system? Or should I still use Google Chrome? Don't really know what it all means.

Firefox is a well-known browser and is used by millions of people across the globe. You can still use Chrome and Firefox at the same time, but Firefox is a good alternative with up-to-date security measures and is compatible with all major websites. You can give it a try then you can chose for yourself if it's good or not.
All the items that are currently installed in the Firefox browser are located under the Add-ons menu. From that menu you can uninstall all the add-ons, toolbars, plug-ins and everything that is installed and running. If you want additional removal options, you can try to run Mozilla in Safe-Mode using the shortcut from the All Programs > Mozilla Firefox menu.
I've been having problems downloading with IDM in Firefox due to the time out error since I installed it and tried to download. The Internet connection is great plus the server connection is good, also I tried other versions of IDM but it still didn't work. I really need help.

Time out errors appear because Firefox is not able to forward the request to IDM and the cookie expires. Install Flashgot and configure it to support Internet Download Manager, then download the program again. FlashGot automatically captures the download even if IDM has problems and it forces a download attempt.
Flashgot is a Firefox extension that can be installed from the Add-ons page.
No, Firefox is not a sale bundle to Microsoft Bill Gates. Firefox is a web browser developed by Mozilla Foundation.

If you don't have any form to back up your data, then the history is lost for good since it does not exist without the recovery form available.
