Firefox 5.0 locks up Ubuntu 11.04 Dell laptop computer after turning off screen to save power - it doesn't allow mouse or keyboard input

After my Dell studio1535 running Ubuntu 11.04 switches to screen saver and then blanks the screen to save power I canl bring back my desktop, but not accept any keyboard or mouse clicks. It will allow courser movement only. The only solution is to power down and re-boot.
This only happens when I leave a window with Firefox 5.0 open. No other software package causes this problem.

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

Can you child lock your iphone or ipad so they can't turn off a movie playing from itunes?

can you child lock your iphone or ipad so they can't turn off a movie playing from itunes?

No. The only option is to actually prevent the child from being able to physically touch the device i.e. lock the child, not the device.

Lock Screen and Turn off Screen

I really searched a lot of files, but I can't find about that....
Is there any API to auto lock screen, turn off screen, but not turn off power?

No, these API are not currently available. Here's the same topic:

How to turn off screen without passcode lock.

I just upgraded my wife's iPad 2 from ios 6 to 7. It used to be when you closed the ipad cover, it would turn off the screen right away. I would still like it to turn off the screen right away when the cover is closed (so as not to waste batteries) yet NOT require a passcode when opened again (just a slide of the arrow like it used to be). But right now, if I turn off the lock/unlock feature, and close the lid, the screen will remain full-on until the the auto-lock timer goes into effect - which will be never if I set it to "never".
I don't want to argue about the merits of having a passcode, I concede all your points, so there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am for not wanting to use one - but I would like to be able to have the screen go off without requiring a passcode to turn it back on. Is this now impossible? At the least, it should turn off the screen immediately when the cover is closed, and wait to put it in passcode lock mode until the auto-lock timer expires.
Is there any way to do this or is this just a case of Apple imposing this security feature our own good? Thanks.

Wow. That was a super-fast answer. Thanks. I had seen that optoin and foolishly hadn't tried it because I thought typing my passcode there was just another way to put it into passcode lockdown "immediately". Well, I said I was stupid. Thanks, it does now work the way it used to and I can still have it require the passcode after a certain timeout period.

Hi, I am back again with my tweaked brain. LOL I am trying to go back to Firefox 4, which I had so much less trouble with and liked a whole lot more. I am told that after installing the older version I need to turn off the automatic Firefox software update (if enabled)........I don't know where the automatic software update is located. Can you help me? Thank you for your help.......I will check back in a little while.......GOD bless you and all that you do for others.........loving you in Christ.......<3

IMAC Yosemite FIREFOX 33.0.2 still getting blank windows after turning off hardware acceleration, they occur in the background and only seen after closing and r

I noticed when my Firefox is minimized that I can not reopen from the Dock on my MAC. So I stop Firefox and reopen, when doing so I get a mixed number of blank windows. After closing these then Firefox behaves as desired until after a bit it all happens again. I read the Windows fix and hoped hardware acceleration would fix it but it does not.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

Note you'll lose everything since the last sync, thus the reason to sync often.

My iPod mini has locked up...I cannot get in to turn off the "find my iPad" so I cannot utilize the recover. In addition the clear button at the bottom of the unit no longer works...what can I do?

Can anybody suggest how to solve this problem. I have an iPad mini that gas locked up. I cannot get into the menu to turn org the "find my iPad" setting. Is there another way...by the way, the menu button at the bottom of the iPad has stopped working, too.

If this is your iPad, no problem.   Access your iCloud account.

You may need to restore from the cloud as so far the only way to unlock is to remove from your iCloud and erase the device. There has to be a better way.
There is a ton of info on finding an iPhone with iCloud.   Where is the info on getting it working again after it is recovered?

How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

I have an iPhone 5S. I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes. I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone. As such, I press the sleep button at the top. No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked. I find this *very* annoying. Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting. Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
Thank you,
Stuart

"Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
Best of luck.

Firefox won't open after update, black screen, beep and "do you want to allow program to make changes..."

Updated Firefox yesterday and now the program will not open on my desktop. Screen goes black for a second, issues a beep and then get box asking if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. Does not matter if I click yes or no, box disapears and nothing happens. Willing to remove and reload the program but hate to lose all my bookmarks.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Often have to restart computer after signing off firefox

I often get a message"firefox is not responding, have to restart computer to continue". I get this message quite often when I close a session and try to logon to firefox later on. It says "firefox is running but not responding, close previous application or restart computer to continue."

Doesn't it work to close and restart Firefox?
Are there any Firefox processes left in the Task Manager when you close Firefox?
