Firefox 7 won't allow me to switch windows; if it's up, it's on top, so if I ask it to open a site in a new window (instead of a tab) I can't get to the window without minimizing the first window. This makes it impossible to work.

I upgraded Firefox to 7 on my Win7 Pro 64 bit desktop yesterday. Today when I try to open a site in a new window, the window opens but I can't switch to it unless I actually minimize the first Firefox instance. Clicking on the second window just shows the first window again.
Worse, it insists on being on top of other programs. I needed to check my Norton Firewall settings against some instructions on a web site, and I couldn't switch back and forth - I could ONLY have Firefox on top. Until you fix this I'm going back to Chrome, guys. I have looked through the Options menus and I can't find an "always on top" box to uncheck.

Dear mkunz,
I can understand your frustration. I have elected for the option to pick up an item from a UPS location when missed upon delivery before; it is definitely a convenient option when working around a work schedule. I apologize that this option wasn’t available to you for your phone purchase.
We do understand that people have to work and this is why we allow three opportunities for you to receive the product. I see that AWBrown has submitted an idea to ideaX page asking us to look into reevaluating this process. Using your email address you have supplied here on the forums, I was able to look up your order. Based on the tracking information, it appears that you successfully received the phone on 06/03/2014.
If this is not the case, please let me know!
Thanks for reaching out,

  • Ffox crashed & I accidntlly hit open new sesson instead of restore tabs. Can I get back my tabs and tab groups?

    ffox crashed, when the window came up to choose tabs to close, and then restore the remaining tabs, i accidently hit start new session so I lost all tabs and tab groups when the new firefox window opened. In disbelief that this had actually happened, I then closed this new firefox window, and then started firefox again in hopes that it was some sort of fluke, but again it was a new session without any of my old tabs or groups.

    Uh oh, you closed and re-opened Firefox. When you start up, Firefox saves your previous session tabs from sessionstore.js to sessionstore.bak, but it's only there until you start up Firefox again, when the backup is replaced. So I don't hold out much hope...
    But you could take a look here:
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    This will open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Profile folder). If you look for sessionstore files, you should see at least sessionstore.js (current session) and sessionstore.bak (previous session). You may also see other files with numbers appended to the name.
    Copy all of today's files to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). The strategy is to work through them to see whether they contain anything useful.
    Keeping your profile folder open, switch over and exit Firefox. Then delete sessionstore.js and rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. After restarting Firefox, can you restore the earlier session (using either History > Restore Previous Session, or the button on the built-in Firefox home page)?
    If that isn't the correct one, did you find any other sessionstore files that might be a bit older? If so, repeat the process. If not, unfortunately, it's gone, and you'll have to use your memory or Firefox History (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+h) to reconstruct the missing session.
    There is an extension named Session Manager that lets you save more than just the one previous session. If you can't live without your list of tabs, you might want to look into it: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-manager/].

  • How to open sites in a new page instead of a tab?

    It still opens new tabs instead of a new window.

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

    What are your current cookie settings?
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

    There are also extensions that can block cookies and other files (data), so you can check that as well.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Magic mouse constantly disconnects and can't get it to connect without rebooting the computer.  Anyone else have this issue

    How do you solve the problem of the magic mouse constantly disconnecting?  I have changed the batteries and turn it on and off, but the only way to get it to reconnect seems to be re-starting the computer.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    Greetings Beth,
    Wireless devices are susceptible to interference.  Review this article for common sources: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048#5
    They are also very sensitive to low power.  Make sure you are using VERY fresh batteries.  If they have been sitting on a shelf for months they don't count as fresh IMO.
    Troubleshooting steps to try after you read that article at the top:
    Remove the following to the trash: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Restart the computer and re-pair the mouse and keyboard
    If issue persists reset the SMC:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If the issue persists reset the PRAM:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Hope that helps!

    Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

  • Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    Sounds like you have a damaged library7  To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos.  If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6
