How do I prevent a new Firefox tab from opening when opening a PDF in Adobe.

First off, this issue started Monday, August 25th 2014 when I was forced to update Firefox in order to log into my online accounting program. I was not having this issue in the previous Firefox version.
When I open a PDF document from an email (which shows a Firefox icon next to it), the document opens in Adobe reader, but also a blank tab opens in Firefox, even with it's not already open. When I close the PDF document, the Firefox tab remains open and I have to manually close it. This does not happen with PDF documents that I have saved to my company's network or to my computer (which have the Adobe icon). I refuse to have to save PDFs to my computer as a workaround for this issue.
Under Tools > Options > Applications, I've already switched the Adobe/PDF options to open in Adobe. Also, in about:config, the value for "pdfjs.disabled" reads "true" and "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" contains "application/pdf".
I work with a lot of PDFs and I'm frustrated to the point where I'm about to unistall Firefox and just use Internet Explorer.

hello, does it work when you go into the ''acrobat reader > edit > preferences > general ''& click on the default application option at the bottom? in there reselect adobe's application and confirm this selection...

The first 3 apps listed are not installed because I have not run the activation assistant for the Office trial that came with the T61. Add/Remove programs has only these pre-installed apps:
Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
MS SQL Server 2005
MS SQL Server Native Client
MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
MS SQL Server VSS Writer
Is the activation assistant one of them?
No, AFAIK should be listed as Microsoft Office Suite Activation Assistant

HT2101 How do I prevent my new iphone 4 from getting hot in the first place?

I got a new iPhone 4 for Christmas. It is constantly overheating and getting insanely hot when charging. My battery life is suffering, it takes hours to charge and loses battery life very quickly. How can I prevent my device from getting hot in the first place? I use it in a room temperature environment and only have about 2 apps running at one time.

Idealy you should move your itunes content from your old computer to your new one
Here are your options
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Then just sync your iPhone with the new computer. It will ask to erase but as everything in in your new itunes this is OK. Then choose what to sync back onto your iphone
If you no longer have the old computer here is how to restore your library from the iPhone
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Then you can sync your machine with the new computer.
If you do not care about this and just want to extract the items mentioned
I found this and it will extract your Contacts and messages.

How do I prevent my new I-Pod from synching every time I connect to my LT?

Perhaps this is I-Pod 101 but I just bought a new I-Pod and cannot figure out how to prevent the thing from syncing every time I connect. I want to move my songs from my LT to my external hard drive and then delete from my LT to open space. I am concerned that deleting songs from my LT hard drive will modify the songs on my I-Pod because it automatically syncs. I am not finding anything under Preferences that looks like it will do the trick.....
I am noticing some confab under "I-Phones Discussions" about an inability to move stuff manually (which is what I am trying to do here). I was able to move songs manually on my old I-Pod and then delete them from my hard drive w/o effecting anything.... Can't seem to do it here and am getting very concerned......

Hey' How do you erase songs off the computer but still keep them on the Ipod? I bought my girlfriend one and my computer is now packed with songs I need to get rid of without erasing everything she put on when the thing synch's Please let me know. Thanks

How can I prevent a memory flow error from occuring when using 3D contour plots?

After displaying a single contour plot a number of times, LabVIEW crashes and reports a memory overflow error. I only load a single 2D array, never storing previouls ones. I always index the data for contour plot 0, and don't explicitly store multiple 2D arrays in any buffer, such as appending data to a shift register. There appears to be some sort of memory leak in LV when using this feature. Is there a programatic way to flush the stored data in a contour plot prior to displaying the next 2D array of data?

Hello MicTomReiSr,
Is this in the LabVIEW development environment? Are you making changes to the code and then running the VI? Does the plot contain default data? Is the indicator cleared when the program stops? The Plot Clean Data method may be what you're looking for.
Remember that the development environment maintains an undo history of the changes you've made, and copies both the block diagram and FP contents each time. If you have a lot of data displayed on the front panel you end up copying it multiple times. This isn't a problem unless you're actively editing the VI in question.
If you do need to edit and run the VI at the same time (perfectly reasonable, although you might want to consider a 64-bit installation or more RAM if you commonly work with resource-intensive data types like 3D plots) try reducing the Undo history length (Tools>>Options), although be aware that you won't be able to back up as many steps.
Regards,
Tom L.

How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?

I do enjoy using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser, BUT, I don't enjoy the details of my life, to include my Internet activity, to be archived by Google, or anyone else, via Mozilla's/Firefox's sharing of my Internet browsing and/or search engine activity with any aspect or facet of the Google organization. With all of this said, my question is, "How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?"

Firefox's default behavior includes no automatic interaction with Google.
We do use Google as default search engine and to report web forgery in the 'help' menu, but no data are sent to Google without your knowledge, and you can change your preferred search engine at will.
However many websites themselves make use of Google Ads which do cause interaction with Google when you load the webpages. This is visible in status bar and happens in any browser. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript NoScript] add-on for Firefox can largely save you from this problem.
If you see things happening otherwise, please reply with details on what you see.

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
