Firefox will not close any way I try... I have to open taskmanager and end prog... any idea how to fix this or what could cause this issue?

I am using version 3.0.19 and have been for some time. This problem has just occured in the last couple of weeks and I can't figure it out. I have updated my addons, scanned for malware, etc etc but no luck. If I have 2 windows open at the same time it will close one but refuses to aknowledge any request to close the final window open... and yes this happens when I only have had one open. It's driving me crazy as it's soooo annoying to have to open taskmanager everytime I want to shut it down. Any help would be REALLY appreciated as I can't be the only one who has had this problem.... but please don't suggest I update to the newer version until I have this issue fixed as it will not let me simply update and I will have to overwrite my whole setup (which I'm not ready to part with yet)
THANK YOU in advance for ANY suggestions!

Hi Tulips 14,

  • I converted an album to a slideshow: I exported it, selecting itunes as an export option.  A window comes up that says iphoto at the top, but nothing happens.  Also, this window will not close with the red button - I have to "force quit" and reopen iphoto

    I can't seem to export a slideshow from iPhoto.  I go through the export routine, but an iPhoto page comes up with other slideshows I've sent to iTunes, but nothing happens.  I've waited, hoping something was happening, but nothing does.  Further, once this page is up, you can't click out of it with the red button - to get it off the screen, I have to "force quit".

    With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
    *One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
    Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
    *Never
    *When I have only one tab

  • When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why

    When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites

    # Question
    It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites.
    Here is one of those sites:
    http://conservatives4palin.com/

    You can make it automatically redirect by doing this:
    1. Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General
    2. Untick the 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' option
    3. Click 'OK'
    '''If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.'''

  • I updated my IOS on my iPhone 4S and it locked up.  I had to restore my phone and now iTunes will not go past the setup your phone screen even though the phone as been restored.  How do I get iTunes to go past this screen so I can sync my phone again?

    Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the  go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

  • Updated to IOS6 and now my apps will not update on the Ipad2.  I have to delete them and then re-install.  But I have several hundred apps and this is cumbersome.  Seems the new software is too buggy.  I am telling people not to update software yet.

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My Canon EOS Rebel T4i will not operate with a new battery. What could cause this problem?

    While take pictures with my Canon EOS Rebel T4i camera it died.  I assumed it was a dead battery.  Upon charging the battery it would take just a few pictures and die again.  I purchased a new cannon battery and fully charged it and now the camera will not even come on.  What could cause this?

    Sounds like the micro-switch in either the battery door or memory card door is barely making contact.  If either of those two doors are opened the camera will immediatley power off.   The micro-switch is in the door frame.  The door itself has a tab which pushes on the switch.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    When did it happen? After updating/upgrading? or just randomly?

  • All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    One thing, don;t think of them as being imported in any one particular order.
    The order of the images is completely fluid, you can change it anytime you want to suit your needs at that particular moment.
    As Léonie showed you select the order you want to see the images in by selecting the item you want to sort on in the pull-down.
    The only time fluid sort order can be a problem is when you export groups of images. If you put the images into a particular order in Aperture when you export them and view them in the Finder the order they are in may very well be different. In this case you could give names to the images that include a sequence number or index.
    Then when they are viewd in the Finder they will be in them same order they were in in Aperture.

  • Firefox will not close properly when I close a window. Is this a know issue?

    I go to http://www.1035thearrow.com/ and click lisen live on top. it opens another window if I try to close that window Firefox crashes. If this is the last window I close it will partly close (in windows task manager it wont show up in applications) and it won't let me start a new session of Firefox until I stop the firefox.exe process in the task manager. When I restart Firefox it will bring that window back up with the same problem. Is this a known issue and if not how do I report it.
