A hidden window opens when I move my cursor over it. How do I change this to having to click on the hidden window to open it?

It used to be if I had more than one window open, I had to click on the hidden window to bring it to the front. Now, if my cursor slides over the hidden window, that window opens. I want to change it back because it causes a problem when typing. If I put the cursor where I want to type something and then move my mouse out of the way, what I type does not show. I am not sure that this is just a Firefox problem. It may be broader.

When I open Firefox, it opens all the tabs that were open when I closed it last time. How do I change this so it only opens my homepage. I have checked Tools/Options/General/Startup and it shows "When Firefox starts" ... "Show my home page". HELP!

This hasn't always happened. It just started a few days ago and I don't know what triggered it.

Did you see this article linked from the main Firefox Help page?

How do I remove the question mark on my dock? When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

How do I remove the question mark on my dock?
When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

Everything in the Dock is an alias.... that is a tiny file that points to the original app, folder or file.
If the original app, folder or file is missing or not accessible in some other way (deleted?), it displays a question mark.
You remove it the same way you remove any icon from the Dock.
Simply drag the icon up away from the doc a couple of inches and let go of it.
It should just disappear with a poof and some clouds.

On job application sites, when I submit, a window opens in encrypted code instead of text. How do I change this to allow the window to display text?

On the various steps to an online job application, when I click on submit, instead of a window with a text file popping up a window pops up with html or computer coding instead of text. How do I change this so I can properly utilize these site processes. I looked for the setting that allows both html and text and it is set to do so.

What is the content of that window?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

My App Store keeps crashing when I look for an app! How can I change this?

When I load an App my App Store crash! :/

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing what most of us are experiencing.
This is not something any of the users can fix, so we just have to wait for apple to bring a new update.
Here is one thing you can try to clear it up though. Try rebooting your device by holding the power button down until it prompts you to shutdown, and restart it. If that doesn't work, try holding the power button and the home button down until the device is forced into a shutdown, and restart it.
I hope that helps a little at least.

Popups blocked on Yahoo. When I close Firefox there is a background advertisement on screen that has been hiding. How do I eliminate this without having to click again to remove?

Annoying advertisement/request is hiding behind my Yahoo home page. I have popup block on Firefox options for Yahoo
Perhaps this is a Yahoo issue? But resides in FF browser.

File > exit is the right answer, instead of exiting from the top corner X.
Thank you

When I try to quit firefox, it hangs. I cannot force quit and I cannot restart. I tried the online help which directed me to uninstall, but I couldn't find library /application support. How can I fix this without having to turn off the computer?.

Tap and hold on the Keyboard key at the bottom right side of the right portion of the keyboard. You can use the Dock and Merge option from the menu.
Alternatively you can drag the keyboard down and move slightly left, to get it to merge.

If you need a GUI to change the owner of a file or files, try BatChMod
Download BatChmod 1.51
Works on 10.5 and 10.6

Here are similar teminal commands:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
#Your current user is:
echo $USER
#Let's assume myuser
#Or, you can use the id command.
id
#Remember, this will be the correct userid. You need to find the bad userid.
#You need to look on one of your bad files. To find out your UID and GID do:
cd ~
ls -ln
ls -l
ls -ln filename-of-bad-file
Now, compare the output and write down what you find.
You best use the numeric value of the old userid. In this case it is 501. Before you do a command that will change files, you should list all the files to be changed.   From an administrator account, enter the following command:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
# the system will ask for your log on password. Type it in. The letters will not appear on the screen. Then, press the enter key.
# adding a -x before the / limits the search to the current file system which will be your startup partition.
# To stop the display press control-c ( hold down the control key then press c )
mac $ sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/AppleWorks 6
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleWorks Essentials
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/Clippings
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks
^C
This command will change the ownership of a file.
Any file or folder with a userid of 501 is changed to 1000. Your numbers will differ.
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 1000 {} \;
#And you need to do this from an administrator id.
More examples:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464 {} \;
sudo find -x / -group 20 -exec chgrp 211 {} \;
#combined change of uid & gid
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464:211 {} \;
Hope this helps a little.
