Does not start up with last viewed Tabs even though chosen in options?

V 4.01 with Vista. Even after choosing the correct option in options>options>General FF does not start up with the last session of Tabs and Windows. It always opens with a single blank Tab. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

T400 does not start up with a battery and AC, but starts up with only AC.

I bought T400, 7417-CTO in Jan 2010. My T400 does not start up with a battery and AC power. I tried to start with only AC power after pulling out the battery, it worked fine. Even when I inserted the battery in T400, which was running perfectly with AC only, T400 seems to lose the power - more strictly speaking, it kept stoping and re-running several times, and finally it dead.
a few possibilities
1) a battery is dead - but it does not explain the failure with both AC and battery
2) some hibernation issue - I plugged in and out the DIMM, and clock battery. I tried to keep pushing the power button trick, but it didn't work
3) Mother board failure??
I really appreciate if you give me some advice on it.

Thanks for all your kind and helpful comments.
Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who have Lenovo - or I don't have many friends here since I moved in the last summer. ;-)
After purchasing a new battery, I will update it. Hope that this thread helps someone who had/will have same prob. as mine.

My iPod touch does not appear in Devices on my Mac, even though I can see it in iTunes. What to do?

my iPod touch does not appear in Devices on my Mac, even though I can see it in iTunes. What to do?

Thank you so much! what a swift reply - I am amazed! but my main problem is trying to transfer an app bought in iTunes to my desktop Mac. I thought 'seeing' the iPod in Devices would make it easier, but I am stuck... Can you help?

When I open a link it switches me to that tab even though under tools options tabs I unchecked "switch to new tab immediately"

When I open a link it switches me to that tab even though under tools>options>tabs> I unchecked "switch to new tab immediately". I tried opening Firefox in Safe mode and it still switches to the new tab.

time clicking to open new tabs in background, with a long-time
clicking to open new tabs in foreground.

Xorg does not start (timeouts) with "no screens found"

After years of my system working correctly, this has been happening for the last ten days.
Many times - not all of them - xorg does not start, and I get greated with the standard console login prompt.
Checking in /var/log/ the xorg.0.log, it says that "no screens found".
I am using an nvidia VGA with nvidia driver 190.xx from extra.
I am using KDE, from inittab (not with kdm as a deamon).
Initial xorg.conf used to be:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "True"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "My Graphics Card"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubSection
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
Now I have trimmed it down to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
But the problem remains.
The problem started ten days ago.
The previous night I had updated the following packages (I provide a section of pacman.log):
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded acct (6.3.2-2 -> 6.5.1-1)

So since nothing on xorg was updated, maybe the new coreutils is the more likely suspect?

no, i install nvidia and then xorg i try startx without result.
Right now i am from Ubuntu, i am going to install arch on virtualbox and i will answer to any other questions.
Thank you
The reason you were asked if you rebooted is because installing the nvidia driver also installs a kernel module. That kernel module
needs to be installed in the running kernel, either by invoking "depmod nvidia" or rebooting, providing everything installed correctly. You
may need to put the module name in your modules section of rc.conf and then reboot.
The absence of that kernel module explains your error message of not finding that kernel module. :-)
iirc the .install already does the depmod
Note to TS: if you use virtualbox you can't use your hosts video card so you will have to use the vboxvideo driver. So read the wiki about virtualbox

IPhoto does not start up with incompatible Prokit error

i installed the new version of iphoto 9.3 ( as prompted by software updates). post installation, iphoto does not start up. it throws an error " incompatible prokit framework".

I have Mac OS 10.8 too and it won't run the last versions of both iPhoto and Aperture. It does work with earlier versions (Aperture 3.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3).
I suggest you to downgrade iPhoto rather than the OS as in less than one week Mac OS 10.8 will be released and hopefully you will be able to update it and to run the last version of iPhoto with it.
By the way, I think that my grandmother upgraded to this new OS but I don't know how to downgrade it.. LOL

MichaelAShea which web browser are you using? Please try a different web browser. If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend installing via the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Skype does NOT start up with Windows

Firefox always opens with the "search" tab even though I don't want it. How do I stop this?

When I open Firefox, it opens normally to my home page. But it also opens with the "search" tab, though I don't want it. How do I prevent this?

From the search page offered go to your chosen home page. Now move the mouse to the top left and scan the options for view, Toolbars and make sure that the "Menu bar" is ticked. This will show the File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks and tools options plus Help. Click on tools, then Options and select current page as your home page. All should now be sorted.

Firefox Android on Nexus 7 (2012) does not clear history/private data on quit even though I have it set to do so.

I checked for updates for the Android version of Firefox and I have the latest version. I changed the settings to clear privacy data on Quit but it does not work, history still shows when I reopen Firefox. Any suggestions?

Found the problem. Previous Android version of Firefox did not have a "Quit" option to close the browser. I had an add-on called 'Quit Now" installed. Latest Android version now seems to have its own Quit option which now shows up. I uninstalled the "Quit Now" add-on and when I close Firefox with its Quit button the history is cleared. Others having the same problem should check their add-ons under Tools to see if they have the "Quit Now" add-on. I only caught the solutions after seeing 2 different Quit options.

Firefox v. 8.0.1 does not offer to remember passwords on sites even though I have checked the option to 'remember passwords for sites' - I am not in private browsing mode. how can i fix this?

google chrome DOES ask; mozilla firefox does not.
It has some memorized passwords, but all are left over from previous versions of firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

MacBook beeps 3 times and does not start up with upgraded RAM....

I recently started upgrading my macbook as i use large programs like final cut, after effects, and logic. So far ive installed an SSD (using OWC data doubler) and replaced the battery.
Now i'm trying to upgrade my 4gb RAM to 8gb but my macbook doesnt seem to be compatible? Im trying to use Corsair 2 x 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 1066MHz CL7 but im not having the best luck. Its the Mid 2009 13 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26ghz model currently running dual 2gb 1066MHz which SHOULD be compatable but i get nothing except 3 beeps everytime i try to power on. As soon as i put the original RAM back in it works perfectly. Ive literally tried everything from trying dual 4gb 1333MHz, reseting my PRAM and SMC. No matter what I try it gives me the repeated 3 beeps! PLEASE HELP!

The correct RAM specifications for a mid 2009 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. If you deviate from this you run the risk of the RAM not operating correctly.
I would suggest that you return the RAM and get chips with the afore mentioned specifications. Inserting higher speed RAM will not solve your problems. If it works, and it may, the MBP will down clock it to 1066 Hz any way.
Ciao.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies

Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
*Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
