Can tabs be turned off so they do not display on subsequent browsing sessions?
When I switched from IE9 to Firefox I opened and switched between a number of browser windows. These now appear as tabs across the top of the browser window each time I open a new browser session.
Is there an option to delete individual tabs so they do not re-appear on subsequent browser sessions?
I currently have displayed 3 tabs for my gemail, two for Google account overview and one for Google help, plus one for Ask a Question Firefox. I can delete the tabs currently showing but they re-appear if I close and re-open Firefox browser.
Any info would be appreciated.
Check that those tabs aren't set as multiple home pages.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

My iPad keybsoard now opens in the middle of my screen. Is this from an update? Can it be turned off? I'm not crazy about it. Thanks!
Press and hold the 'keyboard' button at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or two a popup should appear - tap 'Dock' on that and it should move back to the bottom

If someone has an answer...
Thannks in advance
<Email Edited by Host>I have an itouch that has the same two email accounts as I trying to use on the ipad. Same accounts are set up on a desktop computer (almost never sync either one with it) and an android smartphone. The itouch keeps msgs on it in the inbox (both accounts) and in the trash folders until I delete them...........same with the android phone.
If I download msgs to either account to the desktop where it is set up to remove them from the ISP server, then I understand they won't come to any of the other devices, but the android phone and the itouch will have them in their in boxes (they come in through the wireless router here at the house.
The problem I'm having is that the ipad is set uo just like the itouch, but it sure acts differently with regard to email.. This morning, it had about 40 msgs on one account that I use for aviation and vietnam list groups and then checking it about two hours later, all of them were gone,,,,,,,just gone and all the folders were empty. I had not used the desktop computer during that time.
I've deleted both email accounts and started over from scratch a couple of times and that hasn't fixed the problem.............

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one. -
Why can't I turn off location services? Restrictions are disabled. The on off slidebar is grayed out. I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.
While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state. However, the iPhone has never worked that way. Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

Tired of Spam/Idiotic Alerts That Can't Be Turned Off
I subscribe to MyFico and am tired of idiotic alerts that can't be turned off. One of the most basic rules about alerts is that you alert people about "events", not "non-events", otherwise people start ignoring the alerts and when they are important don't read them. As an example, if I have an alarm system I don't want to be alerted that "your alarm system didn't go off today", that would be idiotic, I want to be alerted when it does go off! Likewise, I don't want to receive 3 alerts every week telling me my "credit report was all clear this week", I want to receive alerts if something showed up on my credit report! I am going to guess the user experience genius who was involved in creating this thought sending people endless ridiculous alerts would make it seem like we are getting more for our money, but it's just the opposite. But the worst thing is your alert setttings don't give the user any way to turn these idiotic alerts off. Rant off!
Although I'm not sure what the big deal is here, perhaps your email account can filter those out for you? If I chose to ignore those alerts, I'm sure I could easy filter them in my GMail account.

How can I turn off the monitor but not the computer on my touchsmart 310..
I leave my computer on at night to keep wireless network going, but I want to turn off just the monitor. All of the advice I've seen is to turn off the touchscreen feature -not the monitor itself. Thank you.
You can set the timing for the display to turn off.
Try this:
Click:
Start.
Control Panel.
Hardware and Sound.
Power Options.
On the left bar you'll find Choose when to turn off the display.
At Turn off the display: there is a drop dowm menu to choose the number of minutes before the display turns off. Make your selection.
Try that and see if it works for you.
I hope this is what you were looking for,

Hi there nina777s,
You may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC on your Mac as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Option 1
Try force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -
My iphone has turned off and is now not working. I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode and i had to restore it to fix it. Is there any way i can fix this problem without loosing all my files and photos through restoring it?
There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

Smart-Paste ... not what I want - can it be turned off?
It used to be that when I was in a terminal window, and I think most
other applications, I could highlight, then copy a selection of
text and have just the text data get pasted to a chosen destination.
Now, when I do this, it seems to carry the font, formatting, color
and even the URL status with it when I paste it. This plops a
big ugly blob of text that does not fit into the destination where it
should not be.
If I just want to cut some text and paste it in an email or a text
document this ends up ruining the formatting, putting control
characters and what-not into the destination and in general really
causing a pain in the butt.
My question is can this be turned off, over-ridden, undone or
removed somehow?
Second, where is this controlled ... in the clip-board? And if so,
is there a way to configure the clip-board not to do this or access
just the text data selectively?
The answer to this for the OS ought to be to be able to cut and
paste the formatting data separately - which would be a good
thing to be able to do in many situations, such as photo manipulation,
etc.
Thanks.The text I was cutting and pasting was from the text of a speech
by FDR from Wikipedia.
But this weirdness happens a little on this page as if I grab my
text from above and paste it here whatever I do it leaves me with
this blue background.
I think that is because there is hidden HTML in this box ... and no way
to turn that off except edit it in HTML and remove everthing. Way
too much effort.
Personally, I really prefer to work just in text, because we really cannot
know what is going on in the background of our typing or whatever
now and the simpler the better, especially when nothing else is wanted
or needed. -
