Bookmarks get changed randomly / Bookmarks Bar does not stay showing after reboot

This is a brand new installation of FireFox 17.0.1 download directly from Mozilla. The previous installation was completely removed using Revo in an attempt to find the cause of this problem.
I have my bookmarks saved to a .json file so after full installation of FireFox, I rebooted the computer, came back into FireFox, enabled the Bookmarks Bar and imported my Bookmarks. Looks good so far. Then I shut it down and rebooted the computer. The bookmarks are gone, the FireFox size is back to default, and the Bookmarks bar is no longer showing.
In my previous installation, sometimes the bookmarks were there, sometimes they weren't. But even when they were, the actual URL that the bookmark was supposed to go to had been changed to some site that was opened at some point during the previous session (but not bookmarked).
The same types of problem do not occur in Opera, Safari, Chrome, or IE so I don't believe it is anything interfering with the saving of customizations.
Anyone have any ideas?

Bookmarks shouldn't have been changing by themselves. Your places database (which stores history and bookmarks together) might have been corrupted. Your new installation should not have that problem, at least not right out of the box.
Sometimes Windows permissions, files in use, or other factors can cause Firefox to lose changes or start up incorrectly. This article might help: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Are you just running the standard release of Firefox directly on Windows? In other words, I assume:
* It's not the "Portable" edition of Firefox.
* You are not using sandboxing or virtualization software that isolates Firefox from the system.

WiFi does not stay connected after latest upgrade

I am having an issue with the WiFi connection on my Iphone 4 after the latest 4.3 upgrade.
It does not stay connected to the wifi. I have to go and manually connect to it.
Then after a couple of seconds it loses it again.
Why is this

"I'm not sure why yours is doing it but I would suggest your reboot your router and reset the iPhone network settings.
If you are hiding your SSID, do the last step which is tap Settings > WiFi > Other and completely re-enter your network name, security, and network password."
Been there, done that... Did ALL these steps, but that does not fix the problem... AFTER inputting the SSID manually, selecting security, and then the password, iPhone STILL says it cannot connect...

ADFS 2.0 service does not automatically start after reboot

Hello,
We have two ADFS 2.0 servers in a farm. Any time these servers reboot, the ADFS service does not automatically start, even though the service is set to auto start. If I manually start the service it starts within 10 seconds.
The error in the logs show:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service to connect.
The AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
But after the reboot is completed, I can manually start the service with no problems. Again, this ONLY happens on restart. I've searched the forums and found potential solutions for people who have consistent issues with starting ADFS every time.
Any ideas?

UPDATE - I built a 3rd ADFS server and was unable to reproduce the problem, until...
I went in to the service properties of ADFS and saw that even though I specified a Log On As account during the ADFS wizard, it changed itself back to "Network Service". I re-entered our ADFS service account username and password, it was
accepted, and I rebooted. On the next reboot, the service did not start automatically (with the same errors as the other ADFS servers), but I was able to manually start it.
I then went to the original ADFS server having the problem, switched it to use "Network Service", rebooted, and the service started up properly on reboot. I then changed it back to the named domain service account, and the issue came right
back. There are no other errors in the System Log indicating a problem with anything else.
So my guess is that something is happening to prevent the service from starting with the named Domain account on server reboot. But what?

Z510 : bluetooth does not connect but after reboot

Hi, My Z510 never connectss to bluetooth but after a reboot. Activating/deactivating bluetooth does not work. Any tip ? Cheers,/D

I received the following response from Nokia support:
"Thank you for emailing the Nokia Care Center.
In response to your inquiry about your Nokia N8-00, we would like to inform you that even when you set the automatic connection between the two devices, you will still need to connect manually because the Automatic connection is used for you to not to enter a passcode anymore whenever you connect your device to your Bluetooth device. For verification, visit the link provided below and kindly go to page 98:
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_N8-00_UG_en.pdf
However, rest assured that your suggestion will be taken into consideration for our future reference. We are hoping for your understanding and patience regarding this matter.

In summary, Nokia thinks this annoyance is an intended "feature". This issue is NOT solved.

My Mighty Mouse does not turn on after reboot after my Snow Leopard upgrade

I am having issues with my wireless mighty mouse, it does not turn on automatically like it used to and now I have to turn it on and off for my Mac to see the mouse again. It will them connect any help?

Hello dw:
For future reference, there is a Bluetooth forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=145
Also, go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight your mouse. Click on advanced. Click on the little gear at the bottom>show more info. Then click on the gear again and make your mouse a favorite.
If that does not help, try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.

CSS11000 does not take config after reboot with new image

CSS11000 was upgraded with new IOS image.
However, it did not take the current config (which was 'wr m') when rebooted from the new image. It seemed to have taken the config from another disk partition -?!. We had to revert back to the old boot image....then it worked (with the right config).
Being unfamiliar with CSS's, I'd appreciate any expert's hints on this. Thanks!

When you upgrade/downgrade to a version you have previously run, the CSS will restore the config you had when you ran that version the last time.
I haven't bothered to check the docs or figure out myself, how to disable this behavior.
I just get a copy of the config via FTP before i boot the new version, and then i FTP it back and reboot again, this usually works although i have seen it dump the config ones.

ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables.
If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection. The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Chris.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect. The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot. This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
BTW, I do have other choices. I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
Cheers,
Chris.

Top Sites page does not stay open after clicking New Tabs

I used to be able to click on “Open a new tab” and the “my top sites” would be available on that page. Now when I click on “Open a new tab”, “my top site” appears and disappears immediately; each and every time. However, if I open 2 new tabs and then go back and click on the 1st tab then the 2nd tab, “my top sites” are available. Also can I get my top sites as my home page?

There is this pref: browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
But it doesn't have effect if you open links via the Library, it only works when opened via the browser window (menu, toolbar, sidebar).

Oracle does not start automaticly after reboot

I've installed O 9i on win2ksrv after installing DB2.
Then I create a database and this db starts successfully.
After reboot the database is shutdown and can only starts manually by sysdba.

Hi,
Have you checked the space of ORAARCH or SAPARCH folder/directory ? The problem may be "Archive destination full". If its full then try to move some old Offline redo log file to other safe location as a backup and then try to restart the Oracle Instance again.

Taskbar does not stay locked after restart

Hi,
I have been having this issue for a while now. I have a dual monitor setup, and I move my taskbar the the 2nd screen and lock it in place. However after every startup/reboot it defaults back to my 1st monitor. The same issue occurs when I un-tick the "Touch
Keyboard" option, it just resets after startup. Any help :(?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Third party application could cause this issue, in my environment, I can lock all taskbars, and it would stay on the personal defined position after a restart:
So I would suggest you uninstall this application and re-check it.

Bookmark search in location bar does not produce proper results

(note: I have hundreds of bookmarks) I search the word "idea" in the location bark (with prefs set as searching for Bookmarks) and only SOME of the bookmarks with "idea" in the name come up. I type "ideas" and they all disappear, even though there IS one with the word "ideas". This happens even in Safe Mode.

Does it happen in new profile? Make is as described at [[Managing profiles]] ; import the bookmarks into the new profile via the import/export to HTML feature in bookmarks - organize bookmarks window; change the Location bar search setting; check for the issue.

Bookmark bar does not work on one of my computers - w XP

Firefox 4.0 - the bookmark bar does not work. It appears but will not accept drags.
PC w Windows XP - 3.
Another thing too - The open new tab does not show up at all, in order to open a new tab I had to put the "open new tab" tab into the navigation toolbar.
(Works fine on my other computer, & it drives me nuts to have to use Firefox w 2 different setups...)

When I click on a bookmark to open it, the bookmark (in the sidebar) does not stay highlighted. Why?

When I open a bookmark, the bookmark title from the list in the sidebar does not stay highlighted. It used to but doesn't anymore. Do you know why? Can I change an option to get that feature back?

Hello Donald.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

When Safari launches, tap in the address field (the one on the left) and type "www.google.com" then hit the "Go" button.
After the page finishes loading, hit the "Action" button (the middle button on the bottom button bar that looks like an arrow coming out of a rectangle) and select "Add to Bookmarks" to add the Google page to your bookmarks.
After that, you can hit the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like an open book in the bottom button bar) to access the Google bookmark you just created.
