How can I stop my home page from opening OVER a page from a link I just clicked on?

If I click on a link from an email, Firefox always opens 2 pages with my home page (Google) covering up the page I clicked the link to go to. How can I stop it from doing that?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think since I got the most recent upgrade (3.6.7)

There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash: suddenly, the previous window (typically the one from which you launched the link or bookmark) comes back to the front.
The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

    How can I stop 'A website wants to open...' for program Adobe Flash Player when it is not relevant and 'allow' only makes the message flash at me?

    When you open a local file with Flash Content that links to a website, that warning is automatic, because it's one of the top ways viruses are delivered. If you "trust" the local file in the Global Settings, the warning goes away. It's that simple.

    If you didn't already did, download the free trial of iWork '09.
    It will install a set of fonts which replace most of the old AppleWorks ones.
    It may be why I was unable to reproduce your problem.
    @Yvan Koenig, Merci beaucoup pour ton aide, j'avais fait les mêmes tests que vous. I'll continue in English for the benefit of other readers. Do you use AppleWorks6 on a recent Mac OS? Because when I started using it in OS 10.6, lots of things broke (menu items stopped working) and there is a 10-15 second delay every 10 to 15 seconds during which the program becomes unresponsive. This makes it unusable for me. Do you know of a fix for these problems?
    I use AW 6.2.9 everyday under 10.6.8.
    I got two kind of problems :
    (1) Running PPC code via Rosetta is more critical than running a true PPC processor.
    So, in databases I can't click in a field if it isn't entirely visible.
    If I do that, the application quits.
    (2) Applescripts must use the exact features described in the AppleScript dictionary.
    For instance, the open command is described as requiring an alias to define the object to open.
    On a true PPC machine,
    open file "path:to:my:marvelous:document"
    was accepted
    Under Rosetta it's rejected and we can't code :
    open ("path:to:my:marvelous:document" as alias)
    I must use
    --{code}
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      activate
              open my make_alias("path:to:my:marvelous:document")
    end tell
    on make_alias(a_path)
              return a_path as alias
    end make_alias
    --{code}

  • How can i make my home computer an authorize user to make transfer of what i just purchased onto my Iphone ?

    Helly,
    I recently purchased a product on my Itunes on PC at home, but i cannot transfer onto my Iphone as its telling me that I need to authorize this home computer in order to begin transfer.. How do i do this ?
    Thank you.

    I don't believe that there is any way to set the order of selection of known available networks. Your solution of changing your network name may be the best available workaround.

    I am on 10g platform.

  • How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

    For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

    To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
    There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

    If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Delete the <b>storage\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.
