It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

  • I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

    How can I get rid of unwanted photos.  As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone.  When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

    The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos).  In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
    This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone.  To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
    All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections.  If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

  • A search page comes up when I open a new tab. How do I get rid of it?

    When I open a new tab, some 'searchqu' site comes up instead of the new tab page. Does anyone know what's wrong with it? Is it something I installed? Is it some freaky add-on that never will like me? OAO

    See these threads about searchqu:

  • When I open up a new tab, how do I get rid of the default 'Bing' tab?

    When I click on the + sign for a new tab, the Bing search engine comes up. How can I modify the tab content? I have tried 'Tools' and 'Tabs' option, but nothing works for me under there. My husband's Mozilla tabs comes up with multiple pages he has browsed in the past. I want this.... Thanks.

    hello,
    Lets try to change it to the way you want. follow the following steps:
    Step 1: enter about:config on the address bar. Hit Enter.

    Step 2: On the preferences window search for browser.newtab.url. You will see only one option for the result.
    https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-12-31-20-40-59-3aca0a.png
    Step 3: Double click on it and enter the URL of the site that you prefer to open with every new tab page. For example, In the image it is set to Guiding Tech.
    https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-12-31-20-41-10-22b9de.png
    To use the home page as new tab page set the values to about:home. For a blank new tab set it to about:blank..'''For making new tab perform as your husband's browser enter about:newtab in the URL of step 3.'''
    Hope it helps.

  • Each window that I open stays open on the screen. How can I get rid of this "tiling"?

    On an iMac G4 with OS 10.4.11, recently each window I open stays on the screen when I open files within them. This creates what I think is called "tiling." I must have given an erroneous command, and I don't know how to get rid of it.  I hope someone can help.

    Are you referring to Finder windows? Those are akin to Explorer windows on a PC.
    If so, it is normal for them to stay open on the desktop when you open a file they display. If you mean they open a new window and clutter the desktop with tons of open windows, there is a fix for that.
    Click once on the desktop so you are using Finder. On the top left, click "Finder - Preferences" Uncheck the box next to "Always open folders in a new window"
    The change is immediate.
    Hope that helps.

    I'm guessing that you have malware installed. See [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]

    More like whoever coded the add-on is an idiot. Google used a brilliant piece of HTML5 to bring the iconic Pacman to the masses for its 30th Anniversary, and not only do people not recognize its ubiquitous sounds, people are annoyed at Google and Firefox, not the creators of the add-on.
    No one did this on purpose, and the ones at fault are the ones who coded the Add-on. Now shut up, your problem is fixed.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

    Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

    when I open Safari, very annoying music plays. How can I get rid of it?

    Click History from the Safari menu bar then from the drop down menu click: Clear History
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Safari
    Move the LastSession.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    See if that helped.

  • History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

    History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

    If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:<br />
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
    You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
    Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />
