For some reason every so often Firefox responds incorrecty to certain key strokes .
The details are that Firefox will work fine and then for no reason I am able to determine [Shift + 2] becomes @ instead of " and [shift + ' ] becomes " instead of @.
This problem is only within Firefox as all other software continues to produce the correct characters. OS is Windows 7. Firefox is version 8.0.1. Keyboard is set for English UK
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.<br />
See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.
What version of iPhoto?
A. iPhoto '11. Version 9.4.2 (710.42)
What version of the Operating System?
A.Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
What was I doing when the problem arose?
A. I was uploading some pictures from my camera to my Mac then I closed it. next time tried to open it and it went right to the way that the pictire before shows.
Did it ever work properly?
A. It had some details; like taking a lot of time to send a picture from iPhoto to an e-mail or not send it at all.
What steps have I tried already to solve the issue?
A. None, I havent wanted to do anything to fix it because I'm afraid I could somehow delete my pictures. I know the pictures still there; because, they are on my screen saver changing and changing.
I also want to know if there is any other way for me to see my pictures other than trought iPhoto? -
The logo that started showing up yesterday is from like 3-5 years ago, so unless Gmail is going retro for some reason it doesn't make any sense. I suspected and tried disabling Gmail Watcher 2.18 and Stylish 1.4.3 add-ons, because I recently updated and installed them. This didn't help. Could add-ons even cause something like this?
This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite database file.

You can let all favicons expire to see if that makes Firefox to store properly if you revisit the web page.
You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
* Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to enable the command line

When I start Firefox, the standard print window comes up as if I had clicked on print under the file menu. I close the window without problems, and it doesn't show up again until the next time I start Firefox. When I click on print under the file menu, I get the print window without any problems.

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
I suddenly need to start Firefox in Safe Mode or it will not open. The problem after deleting extensions and adding profiles appears to be Session Manager which I have been using successfully for along time and really enjoy its usefulness. is there a fix to this problem?? Thank you.
I'm not using that extension, so I do not know which files are used in addition to sessionstore.js and you need to check the profile folder yourself for suspect files.
This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]<br />
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore -
So I dont know what to do. can you please suggest something?
thank youAre you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out. -
Firefox tries to access the local address of the printer and then comes back with an error message that it is unable to locate it.
As you can see here, Mountain Lion does not directly support that model of printer:

i've tried CTRL + T, clicking the + sign in the tab bar, and going to file + new tab. nothing has worked
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

For some reason every time I try to drag a file to desktop it opens the folder
I have a folder that's used to just keep things for me to sort later as well. Any time I try to drag an image from chrome it's opening the folder now instead of just dropping it in. It's been doing this for the couple days, and I don't know why.
May be a Chome issues. Tried it in Safari and had no issues. May just be time for a fresh Chrome install?

Keyboard in Arabic is added for no reason every ti...
Hi,
I own a Lumia 930, bought it in France (via Darty - so it's unlocked). I run it in English UI.
For some reason, every time I restart my phone (i.e. when battery dies and I turn it on again) - A keyboard in Arabic is being added to my keyboards list. I remove it every time, but it pops right back up on the next reset.
It's important to mention, that I don't have any connection to anything Arabic, so I have no idea what is causing this keyboard to keep being added.
Any help, please?? This is all so very annoying...I suspect Arabic is one of the default keyboard languages available on France-spec Lumias, along with English and French. I have a Middle East-spec Lumia 820, and French was among the languages that came preloaded with the device. Since the keyboard is already in the device, a reset might be causing it to go back to default settings and show the Arabic keyboard as well.
Either way, I don't imagine this is very much of an annoyance, unless the phone keeps reverting to Arabic as the default keyboard language. If that's the case, you might have to hard-reset the phone. -

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?
I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well. -
Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.
Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.
