When I clos Firefox 4.0 having multiple tabs open, Ff does not ask to store those tabs to open them the next time I start Ff. In the old version 3.* that possibility was there.

When I closed Ff in version 3.*, Ff asked me if the open tabs should be stored to ben opened the next time. So I never lost my session.
In Ff 4.0.1 that question is not asked. So I lose all open pages in all tabs.
What can I do to get that possibility in Ff 4.*?

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Sorry - should have been more specific. As far as I can see, Keynote will only allow me to see the current slide and the next slide on my laptop when I am presenting a slideshow through a projector. But an old version of PowerPoint allowed me to show the current slide....and (adjustable) many more slides ahead (say 10)....so I could simply jump ahead to a 'future' slide and skip several slides in between. Net result being that I was able to matcgh my slides to group discussions rather than stick to a fixed, predetermined slide show.
As much as it pains me, without this facility - PowerPoint (old verson, not current one) is more useful for me! :-((

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?

FF 27.0.1 on Linux Mint 16 XFCE, up to date.
I have my Preferences set to 'Show my home page'.
Every time I close FF with the X in the top left corner, it comes up and asks me "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?". I check the box not to be asked next time, and have tried both Save and Quit, and just Quit. When I open the browser again it seems to randomly decide whether to open all the tabs I had last time, or sometimes (rarely) just my home page tabs.
I don't want it to open all the tabs I had open, and I don't want the question every time I quit FF. I've used FF for years with XP, but I am new to Mint.

Does setting the "warnon" prefs on the about:config page to false has any effect?
*browser.tabs.warnOnClose
*browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
*browser.warnOnQuit
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

Go to the folder with you Lightroom Catalog (usually in Pictures) and delete the folder ending in .lrpreviews
This contains the previews for the files Lightroom has linked to. They will need to be rebuilt which can be done while working or selecting an amount you want to rebuild and accessing the rebuild command in the Library Dropdown menu...

In Firefox 3.6.13, I've set the Smart Location feature to "Nothing" but the next time I start up Firefox it has reset the location bar to search "Bookmarks" ! This is very annoying that it won't stay set to do nothing.

I go to "Tools", "Options" and then "Privacy". At the "Location Bar" I set it to "Nothing" and then accept. The next time I restart my laptop from "Sleep", start up Firefox and start typing in a web address in the location bar it shows me the "Bookmark" stuff.

When emailing from iPhoto, the recipients address comes up incorrect, even though it is correct in both my email accounts. How do I edit it? I have changed it, but the next time it appears it contains the same errors.

When emailing from iphoto with a template, the recipients' address comes up incorrect (a couple of letters are wrong). The addresses are correct in both my email accounts, including the one I am using for the iphoto email. I have corrected the address prior to sending the email, but they come up with the same errors the next time I choose them in the iphoto 11 program. How do I correct thes email addresses? thank you

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

HT2905 When i delete an unwanted song from my library, the next time i switch pc on, the song is back in my library, it must be in the cloud so how do i remove it from the cloud.

How can i delete an unwanted song from itunes cloud, each time i delete it from my library, it comes back again the next time i switch on.

Hi harryhal!
You may want to make sure that your preference for showing iTunes in the Cloud purchases is turned off:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences in the Store tab and clicking OK.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I've picked up a trojan. Neither norton or superantispyware can find the source. when i delete the "ad" files and the index.dat file in user/appdata/roaming/microsoft/windows/cookies and cookies/low they come back the next time i start firefox

The "ad" file names look like they're randomly generated. They look like n6sxx8t5.dat and 038prmz7.txt. I get one for every pop-up ad that is generated. That pop-up ad is generally related to the type of web page i'm on when it triggers. it only occurs once per session. what i don't know is if it is also trying to capture any data i'm entering.
like i said, i've deleted the text and index.dat files, but they keep coming back.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I have an Imac version 10.4.11.I downloaded Firefox version 4.0 and it says it's not compatable with my system. In the mean time I replaced and trashed my old version, which had all my bookmarks, updates, and settings. I am not happy!!!

After I downloaded Firefox 4.0 I replaced my old version and trashed it. Now I've lost everything and when I tried to sign into Firefox 4.0 it said my system did not support it. What do I do now?

I just went through the exact same situation. I trashed 4.0 and then I went to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older and re-downloaded 3.6.16. I was relieved to see that all of my bookmarks, etc, were still intact. I am very unhappy that Mozilla is not posting the fact that 4.0 is not compatible with 10.4.11, as there are still some folks like us who have not needed to upgrade to higher Mac OS systems (although I fear we're being forced into it bit by bit)....

When I turn it on it is slow to startup and does not ask for my password.

Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Macbook late 2008
So I turn it on and it takes a couple minutes to start up, it takes a while before gettign past the grey screen to the apple loading screen and then just goes straight to the desktop.
I just erased the drive 2 months ago and put on the OS, I have used it maybe 3 times since then.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.

When Firefox quits after I close the last tab, that last tab is *always* restored the next time I start the browser, which isn't what I want.

This has been happening over the past 10 days. I've done nothing to change Firefox and see no option under options/tabs that will solve my problem.

Hello,
Make sure that you don't have a ''user.js'' file that has '''browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once''' set to '''True'''.
To check for a ''user.js'' file, go to your profile folder:
* Either enter '''about:support''' in your address bar, or go to Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > Troubleshooting Information
* Click the ''Show Folder'' button
For more information about the ''user.js'' file, please see:

* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save#w_user-js-file-overriding-preferences
EDIT: You can also double check the General tab of your Options to make sure "Show my windows and tabs from last time" isn't selected.

How do I write a vi that will save graph data and text data (related to the graph) so the next time I want to view the graph data the text data is included in the read vi?

I am new at writing vi's and hope you may be able to help. I would like to create a vi that will graph measurements taken from a daq device. I would like to include text data that a user can choose from (example: machine number, test circuit, load cell type) that will stay with the graph so when the graph is viewed at a later time the text data (explaining parts of the graph) will display with the graph data. I have included a vi I am using to capture and display a force value. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

What you want is a DATALOG file:
When you save a file, use the BUNDLE function to bundle your machine number, test circuit, whatever (include a few spare fields), plus your graph data. Get the graph data from the source, or use a local variable of the graph itself.
Wire the bundle output to the DATALOG TYPE of a NEW FILE function. (I presume you'll use a FILE DIALOG set to SAVE FILE to choose a file path).
Write the same bundle output to the DATA input of a WRITE FILE function.
Use a CLOSE FILE function to (ahem) close the file.
When you want to read a file, use a FILE DIALOG set to EXISTING FILE (or some other means) to specify what file to read. Wire the same cluster type to the DATALOG TYPE of the FILE DIALOG, so that it will only
offer files of the correct type.
When you have a file path chosen, wire the bundle to the DATALOG TYPE input of a FILE OPEN operation.
Use a FILE READ to read a single cluster - the output of FILE READ will be a cluster of the right type.
Use a CLOSE FILE function to....
Out of the FILE READ function, you can UNBUNDLE BY NAME the data and send to the graph and the other fields, or, if you're clever, you can use a cluster on the screen, and not unbundle it. That's harder though, since you probably want the text fields to be controls (inputs) and the graph to be an indicator (output).
Hope that helps.

How do I get rid of isearch.fantastigames. I was downloading a free CCLEANER and followed instructions. The next time I booted up, it was there.

http://isearch.fantastigames.com/439 keeps on coming up on my webpage instead of Mozilla/Yahoo. I cannot get rid of it. Is this MALWARE? My PCPITSTOP expired so I searched for a pc cleaner and found CCLEANER and downloaded it. Followed instructions and the next time I started FIREFOX, it was now my new search engine. I hope that I am phrasing this right. Thanks.

You have downloaded CCleaner from page that bundles downloads with various toolbars. So while you are not infected with malware, you got a PUP - potentially unwanted application.
What you should do:
1. Go through your addons list and remove everything you do not recognize
2. Reset your search providers in Firefox AND in other browsers (it is likely to affect all main browsers on your PC, no mater which one you use)
For firefox: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-toolbar-has-taken-over-your-firefox-search]]
For other browsers you [http://www.majauskas.com/how-to-manage-browser-search-providers can try this one]
3. Scan with anti-adware programs

When I clos Firefox 4.0 having multiple tabs open, Ff does not ask to store those tabs to open them the next time I start Ff. In the old version 3.* that possibility was there.
