When I hit my home button, firefox opens a new tab window each time along with the homw page that it takes me to. How do I stop this extra tab from opening?
The above question says it all. I get an extra blank window opened every time I go to my home page using the Home button.
Do you have a '''|''' following the web address that you set for your Home Page in Options > General?
That vertical bar symbol is used to separate tabs URL's when multiple homepages are set as the "Home Page", and if only that vertical bar symbol is there, a blank tab will be opened.

Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
== URL of affected sites ==
http://I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'... -

When I open a pdf file, after a few seconds, it hides the toolbar and I don't know how to get it back. I use multiple monitors and, without being able to grab the toolbar, I am unable to move the pdf file to a different monitor. How do I stop this?
Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

I have tried to set my homepage to a specific website. However, whenever I open a new Safari window, it always returns to the last page I was at before I closed Safari. Any ideas? I did this under Safari preferences, open new window to homepage...
Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

For some reason when my daughter sends a text to someone else I get it and vice versa. Also, when I send a text to her the text comes to me as well. How do I stop this from happening?
This is iMessages, not an SMS/MMS, and this means the same Apple ID is registered for iMessage on each iPhone.
You or your daughter need to activate your own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. The same Apple ID can continue to be shared for iTunes store downloads - for music and apps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select the Apple ID at the top and sign out. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Make sure the same email address is not available below You can be reached by iMessage at on each iPhone. -

JDev10G - Preventing OC4J Server opening a new browser window each time?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to prevent the embedded OC4J server in JDev 10g from opening a new web browser window each time I run my project i.e. I'd like the server to re-use the same IE window.
JDev 9i opened the launch page in the same IE window.
There's nothing obvious in the OC4J settings.
Could this be a client browser setting?
Not a big deal just thought I'd see if anyone has worked this out.
Thanks
DavidDavid,
There is a browser setting for both IE and Firefox to indicate whether launching re-uses the same window/tab or opens a new one. Absolutely nothing to do with OC4J.

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

None of the previous versions of FF did this. I haven't added any software or hardware, nor made any other changes. I'm using Win 7.
As a side note, even though I have my Options set to re-open all tabs when FF is re-started, none come up unless I re-set the 'Homepage' to "Use Current Pages" each time before I shut down.
Thx for your help -- BobHello Bob, if you have set Show my windows and tabs from last time, then see if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-previous-session#w_settings-may-be-incorrect settings may be incorrect] in privacy panel.
Definitely you have too many pages as your home page and probably Firefox take long to start up !
It is '''not''' related, but in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then you can delete the User.js file(some programs create the file also).
thank you -
size of the general image that I see reduces toby about a third - I resize it by pressing Ctrl key and using my mouse scroll button to expand the whole image so that it fill the screen. As soon as I go to the next page the whole image reverts back to original size and I have to repeat the action again.
The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

My phone didn't have space on it when I originally tried downloading a large app (Infinity Blade), so I downloaded the app on my computer to save time and removed apps from my phone to make space for it.
I then connected my phone to my computer and transferred the app across onto my phone and it works fine.
However, everytime I visit the App Store on my phone it starts downloading this same app until it tells me there isn't enough space for it at which point the app goes back to its normal already downloaded self and I can carry on playing the same game.
How can I stop it from trying to re-download everytime I visit the app store?If it's still trying to download the app to your phone, then it thinks the app is not on the device.
A reset or restart would be a good starting point to clear up the attempts to redownload the app. -
When I open the browser I get 2 password prompts. How do I stop this?
Since updating to the current version of Firefox (3.6.10), the password prompt has moved to the top right of the screen instead of the center, and I get 2 prompts. I can close the first and enter the password into the second for the browser to start, or enter the password twice.
Is there any way to rectify this?See this: <br />

Firefox will show 'done' on a page that is not fully loaded, how do I fix this?
When trying to axcess, any website really, it will display the word done as if the page has successfully loaded yet most of the content on the page is missing. How can this be resolved?
hello, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.
