After installing Firefox 4 the window minimizes at random, how do I fix this?

The title pretty much sums it up.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Ever since installing Firefox 29, the browser keeps crashing. How do I fix this?

About a week ago, my browser shifted to the new version of Firefox, version 29. Ever since then, I have had repeated random crashes multiple times a day and even an occasional blue screen incident. The browser has become so unstable as to be useless. If I'm counting right, this has generated over 50 crash reports since the upgrade; here's the tags for the last five:

I've shifted over to Chrome until this can be resolved, but I don't want to stay there because of the privacy issues.

I uninstalled Firefox. On the reinstall, the .exe interrupted and crashed due to a corrupt file. At this point, it's more headache than I want to deal with. I'm leaving it uninstalled and going with Chrome (now that I've found some suitable means of dealing with the privacy issue) until Firefox comes out with Version 30.
Sorry, guys, but v. 29 was just too horribly buggy an experience for me to want to repeat.

I am using win 7 and get multiple crashes randomly but it can be reliably generated on trying to open http://www.standard.co.uk/news/ .
I dont want to give up on Firefox but I have been trying so many solutions with no success, and I'am just finding it easier to use Opera and Chrome depending on my mood.

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
plz help me

Hi Jaimie,
To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
Cheers

Dreamweaver CS3 template two column liquid views fine in firefox but in Iexplorer I don't get the design only code? How do I fix this?

random guess- what file extension have you saved the file with.
second random guess- there may be an unclosed html comment
third- what do you mean by "I don't get the design only code"
Do you mean the browser shows the code, or the browser shows nothing, or ???
for a better reply, please provide a link to the uploaded page please.

Hi, I have a problem with fonts because in the window I can't see the font, they are transparent. how can I fix this?

giadad,
It sounds as this issue:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

Firefox no longer displays Youtube videos. How do I fix this?

Firefox 8.0 on 64-bit Windows 7 no longer displays Youtube videos. I get a solid black rectangle where the video should be. How do I fix this?

Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
For some disabling hardware acceleration for Flash helps. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379
Clearing YouTube cookies and the cache has also helped some. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
You can also try changing to the secure YouTube site, https://www.youtube.com

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.
