Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Why does Firefox load an old links (from e-mails or a previously played POGO game) when it first opens instead of my homepage?

Every time I receive an (Outlook) e-mail with a link, Firefox will open and navigate to the link, but then seems to remember and reopens that link every time I start Firefox, instead of loading my homepage. If I receive another e-mail (with a new link), and I navigate to the new link or the wife plays a POGO game then it opens each time I start Firefox. I currently using version 4, but the problem has been going on since approximately the last 3 or 4 updates.

Open the Firefox preferences (from the "Tools" menu, choose "Options"). In the "General" section, you can change the "When Firefox starts..." option to show your home page, instead of showing your tabs from last time.

Why does Firefox trigger the UAC warning each time I open it?

I design websites and test them across most browsers. We use Windows 7 operating system, and only Firefox triggers the User Account Control message on our test computers, which is a major annoyance when opening instances of Firefox in rapidfire order as web designers do. Is there a way to disable it? The UAC is not triggered by Opera, Safari, Chrome and we have made sure we have not checked properties-compatibility tab - "Run this program as administrator" in both the Firefox.exe file as well as any desktop shortcuts - as advised by several people and contributors to Firefox forums. But that doesn't have an effect. Each time we test, we get the Windows 7 UAC message. We've written to Microsoft several times and they have not replied. We thought perhaps you'd have a solution that actually works.
Thanks

I reinstalled first without deleting everything and then as you suggested. The program now comes up ok when I log in as administrator. However, it is the only program I have that suddenly won't work as a non-administrator without requesting that the administrator approve it to make changes to my computer. I have looked at the permissions and they are the same as for WordPerfect, for example. I don't expect that this program makes changes to my computer that will bother any other users.
Why does Windows 7 think that Firefox is going to change the computer for other users?

Why does Firefox disable a Roboform extension each time it opens making me enable it each time

I am using the latest versions of Firefox (22) and Roboform ( 7.9.0) with the Firefox extension.
I have used both programs successfully together for many years.
The problem MAY have been evident in just the previous versions of either or both programs.
No other extensions are adversely affected.
I am using Windows 7 with all updates.

What does the State line of this plugin say on the about:plugins page?
You can open about: pages via the location bar just like you open web pages.
Make sure that you have installed the latest version.
Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder and maybe addons.sqlite as well to reset the plugin registry databases.

Why does firefox use more memory the longer it's open?

Firefox goes from using 90,000k when first opened to 293,000k after a couple of hours. It didn't used to go up that high. This is just Firefox this doesn't count what plugin container uses. This just started happening where it would get this high. I've not installed any new addons recently. The addons I do have are foxy tunes, adblock plus, Java console, Java quickstarter, move media player 7, Memory fox, Microsoft.net frame work assistance, personas, and yontoon layers. I've tried running in safe mode and disabling all the addons and I've still got the same result. I'm using firefox 3.618.

Sometimes application and programs don't report to the OS that it is no longer using the Ram and therefore the Ram Appears in use. Go to the Mac App Store and download a free Application called Free Memory. It's a useful tool that allows you to free that Ram that is not being used right from the Menu Bar.

Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).
Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update

Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
Good luck.

Why does my Safari 8.0.2 on Yosemite drop some image on html web pages ?

Problem:
Some images on the web(HTML) page not displayed. (images are dropped and displays as "?" marks)
When I used OS X Mavericks, there was no problem.
After updating OS X Mavericks to Yosemite, this problem has occur until now.
I did do safe boot then something problems were fixed after removed Macafee.
Question:
How do I display all images on the web page without dropping them ?
Environment:
OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite) updated from Mavericks
Firewall: ON
Stealth mode : ON
Safari 8.0.2
Mac book pro with Retina
Removed Macafee All access ( it is not always compatible for Yosemite yet.)

After update to Yosemite 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.2 was update to 8.0.3.
Then this problem becomes to be much better.
There are still some image dropped but Safari 8.03 is almost practical usage level now.
By the way, I noticed that commercial message links on many web pages were often illegal SSL sites.
It is not always perfect yet but new Safari 8.0.3 seems to defend us users from such illegal SSL links.
There are wrong HTML descriptions problems on many web server sides.
I can see some errors on the debug screen of Safari 8.0.3, I think this is good protection works by Safari 8.0.3.
Especially Japanese newspaper sites have too many illegal SSL commercial message links.
This situation should be solved by the web server programmers or managers.

Why does a document tell me it needs to be opened in newer version of Pages yet when I check the Mac App store I already have it upgraded

I can't seem to open Pages documents and am told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document" however, I have checked for upgrades in Mac App store and am told all apps are up to date. When I open Pages and check "about Pages" it says I have 4.3. What gives?

It sounds like you already have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

HOW DO I SET FIREFOX AS HOME PAGE WHEN I DON'T HAVE THE HOME ICON AT THE TOP?

I HAVE MOZILLA FIREFOX ICON ON DESK TOP BUT WHEN I CLICK ON IT I GET A DIFFERENT SEARCH ENGINE ON MY SCREEN. I DON'T HAVE THE HOME ICON OR ANY TOOL BAR AT THE TOP OF MY PAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FIREFOX BACK AS MY SEARCH ENGINE BUT CAN'T FIND OUT HOW TO DO THIS.

You cannot revert back to a previous iOS version.
Of the apps you've mentioned, here are their sizes my iPhone 5 under iOS 8.1.2 as reported under Settings/General/Usage/Manage Storage:
Podcasts: 8.4 MB
iBooks: 1.1 MB
Health: 148 KB
I'm curious where you got the values of "approx 350 Mb each"? These apps are now embedded into iOS and AFAIK, their app sizes are not reported as user-downloaded apps are.

Why does Firefox always ask me to approve a resend when using back button?

Almost every time I press the back button Firefox presents a pop up to ask if I want to resend. How can I stop this from happening? I just want it to go back to the previous page. It is an irritating waste of time to have to click the resend button all the time.

It is ok that we get an alert before resending post data. But we don't want resend anything when we click on back button. We just want to see the page as was shown last time. When we want to resend data we may hit refresh on the page.

Why does firefox call IP 208.53.130.221 on startup? Even with blank page? And keeps trying the same address even after is shut down? No other browsers does it!

I can see it via my firewall log; checked for malware, nothing found. It's like Firefox is trying to report somewhere, and it's always the same IP address. I even stopped using firefox all together. Opera doesn't display the same problem, neither does the IE, so this is firefox related.
Even though I have 3.5.2 now, this is a roll back from the later version - I thought it might be related to later updates, but no, 3.5.2 does the same thing.

It's the forums that make the image tiny, if you do a right-click > copy shortcut, you can then paste it into a new tab, which will let you see the full size image. It's a 3360x1050 image, maybe a bit big for the forums.
Basically though, the left image is IE, and that shows an error box. The centre image is Opera, and that shows an empty screen. The right image is FF, and that is how it should look.
If it's a machine specific error, then I can't work out why it is on several machines in my house... very odd.

Why does Firefox intermittently quit responding with MS Word 2002 open?

I've noticed when I have MS Word 2002 (sp-3) open, Firefox will start intermittently hanging. No error message. I've also noticed, I can go to the task bar and minimize it, and then immediately maximize the Firefox tab, and it start working for a little bit. Quite irritating in the middle of a password input, since you sometimes forget where you were. This started happening about 4 to 6 Firefox versions ago. What's interesting, with MS Excel open, it's not an issue. It also doesn't make a difference which one was launched first. Same problem, and it's a very short time between hangs, maybe 15 to 30 seconds. I close MS Word, and there's no Firefox issues. I cut and past paragraphs etc, into my Word Docs for future reference, and my PC library, since sometimes you come back to the weblink, and they are gone. Therefore, I like to have both open. My work around is to keep opening and closing Word. :-/
No other issues come to mind. I really prefer Firefox, but if I'm in Word for any length of time, I have to use one of my other 3 browsers, which have no issues with Word. IE, Chrome, and Opera.
Personal Build System: Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, (sp-1), AMD Phenom II, A4 x840, 3.2Ghz, w/ 8GB Ram, Windows Exp 5.9, AMD Radeon HD6570, 2gb video ram) on MSI mobo 880G-E45.

I have a status bar on my desktop that shows processor and memory usage. The memory normally stays between 20% and upper 30 % range. Not sure that I've ever seen it above 50%. It's at 37% (of 8gb) right now with 5 IE tabs going, which I've had 15 or more open with no issues(in both IE and Firefox)...and Excel is open, and 3 Firefox windows are open, along with several other applications. I just launched Word, and the memory didn't change. I just closed it so I could continue typing. I hate replacing it, when it works fine, and I've had no issues other than this. Since it was working fine, until 4 to 6 Firefox versions ago, It has to be something different with that or one of the plug-ins possibly, although I think I went through deactivating all the plug-ins per a post I saw about a year ago. Wasn't the same issue though, but I thought it might help. It was a waste of time, so I reactivated a select handful. '''That's a lot of $$ to spend, especially if that's not the issue.''' 'had rather put that $ on my next PC build. :-) I have the whole Office Suite.

Why does my finder restart each time i try to open a folder ?

Hi,
Since today, everytime I click on a folder or try using the Finder, the color wheel appears, takes a few seconds, then relaunches the finder. However, I can't access any of my files through Finder. I can access them using any program, but not with the Finder.
I have tried creating a dummy account, but it has the same problem. I have tried opening folders using the Terminal command open but the Finder crashes again. I have also tried resetting my Finder preferences but without success.
Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

are you able to run a disk verify ? if so, dose it report any errors?
Another option might be open the console; and see if any error message pops up when the finder crashes.
