When i open my browser it does not go to the home page but the last page that I was on in my previous internet session. whats going on here?
Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.
Hi eaglerabbit,
This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.
If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

In the earlier version I had of Firefox 3. something-can't remember now, whenever I opened up a new tab it automatically opened up in my home page "Bing" http://www.bing.com. Now when I open a new tab, it's simply a blank page. How do I get it to open the Bing page automatically whenever I open a new tab?
Thanks.See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

When i open disk utility HDD does not let me repair.In order to repair the system disk you must boot from another disk drive. The operating system will not allow the disk drive it is running from to be repaired.
Book the MBP and create a bootable clone on an external disk drive. Then boot from the external disk drive and repair the system disk drive from there. -

I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address. How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?
You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway... -
With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
iPad2 sync is fine.
Any ideas to solve it?This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

I got a new apple iD so when i try to update my apps it wont change the last one that i had so i cant update my apps. How do i fix this?
- Go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -

I can't open any program anymore on my ipod since the last 30 minutes, please help
Did you try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo come back again?
If this does not work, set it up again "as new device", shown in this article: How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device -
I click on the icon and it flashes as if opening.... no browser window appears.... I check the task manager to see if it is open but not displayed... nothing in the task manager..
So I uninstalled it leaving my preferences, and reinstalled it but it does the same thing. This time when I went to uninstall it again wiping the preferences away (in case it is those that is causing the problem) the uninstall program said that I had to close firefox first... but it isn't showing up as open in the task manager....
Final though... the last few weeks I have had a page pop up to advertise a need to update this or that, a need to click on this or that... obviously some kind of bug/virus.... help me get firefox going again...

This only started happening about 2 days ago. I will have tabs open, go to bookmarks and click on one. It seems that it is not opening but I then discovered that there is a tab at my desktop bottom tray that opened instead that I can click on to open the tab. However, it will not open unless I first minimize my bottom tray whole Firebox browser.
That is the default action when you open a new tab. There are extensions that you can install to change it from a blank page to whatever you want.
