A previously open, but not recent sesion is resumed on start up that isn't wanted.

When firefox is launched: 8 tabs that were open months ago open as if it was the last session.
The tabs were open before the browser was put into private browsing mode. During browsing something caused an unexpected shut down or forced shut down. (I can't remember).
Now when ever Firefox is launched, the same 8 tabs open. All the settings are for a blank tab / not remember the last session.
I reinstalled firefox. I cleared the history (everything). It has been months.
*The error has been found: open 'about:config'
reset this browser.startup.homepage
The start up home page was shown as the regular mozila google thing in the user interface.

My daughter is having the same problem (Spinning start and forever Blue after). After finally getting it to boot from an install disk, Disk Utility says the HD is failing according to S.M.A.R.T. status. The machine is acting like a PC with a virus, or a laptop on a weak battery, even though it's plugged into A/C with a green light and System Profiler syas the battery is charged... tries to boot up and dies befire the CD is finished spinning. Takes multiple times to get it up from CD or from an external boot disk. This sounds like more than a failing HD to me, and with the above comment that their HD was replaced to no avail I'm reticent to go that route. Zapping Pram and rebuilding the desktop get nowhere.
This situation too has a recent digital camera interface background, as well as reports that the HD was getting full.
We also recently installed an Airport card, which I removed this morning to see if it could be the culprit.
Reading this forum it seems there is a rash of this behavior going on. I'd appreciate any help y'all can give, and I know my daughter will be forever grateful if she doesn't lose her music and pics.
Thanks!

    Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

    If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • When I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active it won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on

    when I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active eyetv won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on.  When I totally close eyetv and reopen eyetv and open a live tv window the closed captioning comes back.  I never noticed this with os leopard, Just after i installed os snow leopard.  All software is up to date only I think, thanks to apple they droped support for logic express.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

  • ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

    iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

    Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently.  What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action.  You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

  • IPad will open but not display information entered on a form sent as a PDF.

    iPad will open but not display information entered on a PDF file. Same file will open and display all information on my iMac. Anyone had this problem?

    I think that you are trying to view a form fields PDF file and you cannot see the content that was filled in on those fields. Form fields will not show in the mail app or in iBooks. Download Adobe Reader for the iPad. It is free and it offers a lot of features for a free app. Save that PDF to Adobe Reader and see if the text in the fields appear.

  • Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

    First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
    When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

    I thinks some folks got it to work by updating the PC's DirectX stuff

    what can be wrong?

    I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.
