Closing one window (x in top right corner) will try to close the second window as well.

If I have two different windows open with tabs, and I try to close 1 window (no tabs), it will also try to close down the second window and ALL the tabs it contains as well. This has never happened in previous versions.
But when I use the shortcut control w, the window closes fine.

When a web page opens a link in a new window, the new page/window is always blank and all i can do is click on the x in the top right corner to get rid of the page

everytime i click on a link on a webpage that is supposed to open in a new window, the new window is always just a blank white window/page

Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?
Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose key which will show all open windows.

When I have two browser windows open, the first with multiple tabs the second a window opened from a link (so just one tab), and close the second window, I receive the Quit Firefox prompt, "do you want to save tabs...?"

This was happening with FF 3 before upgrading to 4, and was not happening with FF4.0 until the 4.0.1 update was applied, the first time it ran. Same issue on another computer running FF3, so may be a extension related problem.
If I have three windows open and close the third, I do Not get this. Only when two are opened and one is closed. I could have three, close one, then the second and get the prompt.

Does that 2nd window have a '''Close Window''' hyperlink on that page and you are using the X in the upper right corner of that 2nd window to close it?

Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

It is 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).

When I try to close the Firefox window, it is not closing. I have to click outside of the window and click back on the x button in order to close it.

For example, if I type something into the Google search bar and then try to click on the minimize or close button, nothing happens. In order to close Firefox, I have to click ''outside'' the firefox window (on my desktop or task bar) and then I can click close. If I click inside the window again, I cannot close.

You could exit Firefox from the File menu. You can also use Ctrl-Shift-W to close the window.

When I open up Firefox I get 2 windows one with my tabs and the other is ad on manager how do I stop the second window if I try to close it both windows clos

This problem just started when I start up Mozilla fire fox it opens 2 sessions or something the first one has my tabs form the previous session the other one is blank except for the 2nd window only has add on information, but when I try to close the second window it automatically closes the whole thing and I have to start all over again, what can I do

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

When i open firefox, a small "user toolbar" window opens on top right hand side, i dont want that.

When i open firefox, a small user toolbar window opens in top right corner, please help as i dont want it, i close it but it takes to much of time to close and it hings up a bit evrytime.

This could be a feature of an add-on. Could you check to see whether you have any unrecognized add-ons and disable (or remove) them. In particular:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then restart Firefox and watch for the toolbar, which hopefully will not appear.
You also could paste a list of your extensions here for review. You can copy them from this page:
Help > Troubleshooting Information
It's the second table, which appears below the Extensions heading.

Adobe download needs "edit options" on the top right corner to allow download can't find on screen

trying to download Adobe reader.....directions say for firefox users, "edit options" must add Adobe to list of allowables. I can't find "edit options" in the top right corner ......possibly Windows 7 change???

Those are instructions for older versions of Firefox. Use the "manual installer".

Once in awhile a little green square pops up in top right corner!!! what is it

once in a while a little green square pops up in top right corner!!! it not my battery icon well at least it dont have the outline. anybody know what it is?

That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Wierd Symbols/Icons in top right corner

I have a wierd symbol that looks like a phone with what looks like a keyboard underneath it in the top right corner of my phone near the battery status. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it! I think it could possibly have something to do with hearing impaired settings but i could be way off!

It's TTY
Choose Settings > Phone to turn TTY on or off.
Use the below link for all icons for future reference

I always have many tabs open in FF, and rely on it restoring them each time I close/open it again. Sometimes I'll have a second window open and will close the main window first, losing a record of tabs I had open. Is there a way around this?

Seems like when FF restores a session, it restores the session of the last window open. If you use tabs as a way of keeping a list of things to do or look at, you have to be careful if you have a second window open to close the second window before your main one, or you will lose your list. I'm absent minded though and do this all the time. The only way to prevent this is bookmark all my tabs once a day, but I tend to forget to do even that. Any workaround for this?

When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

Put a section break at the bottom of page 1
Then insert your page number in the footer of page 1.
Go to page 2 and click in the body of the text;
Inspector > Layout > Section > uncheck Use Previous Headers & Footers > click in Header on page > insert > Page Number

Closing one window (x in top right corner) will try to close the second window as well.
