Firefox is running in the back ground, how can I turn it off to reinstall it?

I tried to get into the save mode but Firefox still will not come up. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled and still I can not get Firefox to come up on the screen. But when I shut down my computer it says it is running. It must e running the back ground. Please help me get Firefox working again. I think this is a Mozilla Problem because I did not install addons, etc.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox is running in the background and I can't turn it off.

When I go to a site I can hear talking and music in the background. This happens when I'm not even using firefox. I tried to remove a tool bar I have and it said I had to close firefox. I can hear it when I check e-mail. Help!!!

I have tried your suggestions and FX still won't open. Things I have tried are ending FX processes, restarting, removing "parent lock" from the FX profile - still no luck. Any further ideas? Thanks.

If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

Black line texture map over the texture. How can I turn this off?

I have recently been editing textures from 3D models, but when I open the texture, black lines appear on my screen, displaying a texture map over the actual texture. This is not a layer, or something I can turn off in Window settings, and resetting my Photoshop settings does not help (Photoshop CC).
Is there a way to turn this off as it is interfering with what I am trying to do greatly.

System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Uncheck Voiceover, or any of the options on that page.
Edit: Sorry, read your OP wrong.
However the solution is likely to be in universal access, so take a look through there, and you'll most likely find the solution.

In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password. How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password. Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on. Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again. Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request. How can I turn this off and still have protection?

Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod and it stopped moving before the restoration was completed. How do I re-set the ipod. I can't turn it off.

How do I turn off I pod touch?   The restore screen is stuck

Thanks for the assistance. I was able to restore my I pod after letting the battery run down. I then synced the I pod to my new computer. Most of the songs moved from the cloud to the actual I pod drive. But, many of them did not. I tried downloading them from the cloud on my I pod, but this didn’t work. Will I be able to restore the missing songs? Thanks, Cleveland.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why when im streaming my songs for my library on my apple tv does it censor the songs and how do i turn it off?

Why when im streaming my songs for my library on my apple tv does it censor the songs and how do i turn it off?

I use iTunes Match, and I notice that when I play "matched" versions of 2Pac's "I Ain't Mad at Cha", all of the curse words are skipped over. Just to make sure it wasn't my copy of the track, I played it off of my permanent library, and the song plays properly. So I believe that Apple has seen fit to censor the song. I haven't read about this anywhere, but I'm pretty upset about it. I own the track -- I have a copy of 2Pac's Greatest Hits, which I ripped. If I turn off iTunes Match and transfer the song to my mobile devices with a USB cable, I could play it the way I want to hear it. I think iTunes Match is a fantastic concept, but I don't need Apple deciding what kinds of music I should or shouldn't be listening to.
Incidentally, I haven't noticed other tracks with curse words censored. It may be that I loaded them onto my mobile device before Apple began censoring.

In some countries there are currently only free books available - Apple can sell books where the publishers have granted them licenses to do so (what you can buy where). Do you have access to other ebook apps/stores ?
