You can use these steps to disable the snippets on the about:home page:
* Set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page
* Open about:home page in a tab
* Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Developer)
* Run this command via the command prompt: <b>gSnippetsMap.clear()</b>
* Close the tab with the about:home page
* Close and restart Firefox

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • Itunes page pops up continually on the pc since we added a second ipod. how do I stop the pop up? help/ to the same pc

    itunes page pops up continually on my windows Vista pc since we added a second ipod and sync it to the same pc. How do I stop the pop ups??

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

  • How do I stop the Firefox home page from automatically loading. I have rest my homepage to where I want it. But the Firefox homepage still loads automatically

    When I open Firefox, the homepage I set opens...as does the Mozillza Firefox home page which opens in a separate tab. It is an extra tab I DON'T want. How do Is stop it?

    The instructions are clear and easy to understand, however, it doesn't always work.
    I set my home page to www.google.com (only one tab opened up), clicked OK to save google as my home/start page.
    I closed all browsers, started FF and it worked.
    However, the next time I started FF it came back with the hooray, your ff is up to date.
    I also set my home page to my internal work site URL, same problem.
    I'm using version 23.0
    I also tried going to google, and dragging the icon at the beginning of the URL to my home page icon. Still doesn't work.
    DOH

  • My daughter has an iPod touch and is emailing a much older boy via text free app she downloaded. How can I see the conversations? Please help and thank you

    Please help me...My 12year old daughter has been talking to a older teenager through the text free app. How can I see the conversations? Also, there is a photo vault that is locked. What is that? Please someone help me. I don't know what else to do. I paid and downloaded a program that is supposed to tell you everything that's on the ipod but that was a joke. Thanks for your help.

    As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
    Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
    Try talking first

  • IMovie 11, How do I complete the movie? Please Help!!

    I just got my MacBook last week so imovie is brand new to me and I'm only use to using Windows Movie Maker. Anyways I'm just trying to figure out how I save a video when I'm finished editing it? I finally realized how to trim the clips I want and get rid of the one's I don't but I can't for the life of me save the video when I'm done? Please help, the only thing that I can do to get them is to finalize it which takes forever and I keep forgetting how to do it.

    Hi
    Imovie'08 or 09 or 11 - was a totally new product with a new concept.
    It stores Event and Projects by it self.
    To get Your movie out - then use Share on top Menu list.
    If You want a DVD then - I don't use Share to iDVD - but Share to Media Browser
    and the big and large size. Then in iDVD open it's Media Browser and use the movie here.
    Yours Bengt W

  • How to restore/view the deleted records - Please help me on this regard

    If all what you want is to view the data, you can use the Flashback's as of query which would enable you to go back either by SCN or by Timestamp. If you want to restore those rows back in the time( and losing the changes that has happened in that time ), you can use the Flashback Table option. An example of this is given below,

    Aman....As promised, here's one way to use flashback to restore the one deleted row without having to impact the rest of the table with a general FLASHBACK TABLE.
