Firefox 8.0 opens with page size I have to zoom x4 - every time.

Every time I open Firefox or Gmail, the page is way too small. I have to hit Control+ four times for it to go back to the size it was before I upgraded to 8.0. This happens EVERY time on opening.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

ITunes not adding / deleting in with iOS7: do I have to click Sync every time?

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) and iTunes 11.1.3.8.
I am running into problems when I drag music or audiobooks from my iTunes library to my iPhone.
1. I originally dragged an audibook to my phone and it stayed "greyed out" in iTunes. The circle next to the file that indicates how much of it has downloaded to the phone did not change. This was resolved by clicking "Done" and then "Sync" in iTunes. I do not want to have to do this every time I add a file.
2. I deleted multiple audiobooks in iTunes. They no longer appear in iTunes, but they do appear on the phone. Again, the problem was resolved by clicking on Sync in iTunes.
Ultimately, I do not want to have to click Sync every single time I manage the music on my phone. It takes substantially longer than it did with iOS6.
Is there any way around this?
Many thanks!

It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

Bad job guys, this is dumb, I am disappointed.

I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Documents opened with Pages 5.0 not opening with Pages 09

I just downloaded the new version of Pages 5.0, and I really don't like it, it makes taking notes in class harder for me, and I wanted to go back to the previous version, but the documents that I opened with Pages 5.0 I cannot open them anymore with the previous version of Pages. They're not documents that I created with Pages 5.0, I created them with the previous version.
So I wanted to know if anyone can help me.

Once you open and save older documents in Pages v5, they are now in a new Apple document format that is incompatible with the prior version of Pages. Pages v5 does have the ability to save documents in Pages ’09 v4 document format. Keeping track of document names by Pages version becomes enigmatic without a purposeful naming convention.
If you had Pages ’09 v4.n in /Applications, it is now in /Applications/iWork, and you can still use it instead of Pages v5.

How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked. Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
Regards,
Barry

Firefox doesn't open with profile even after creating a profile through Profile Manager.

I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.
I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.
Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?

Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/version-history
see if can find a method in the next link, not too useful i think for your win 8 : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protect_the_profiles_contents Protecting the contents of the profile]

Always open with Pages '09 doesn't work? (Pages 3.0)

i have a copy of Pages '09 and a copy of Pages 3.0 on my MBP. unfortunately my Mac Pro only goes up to Lion so i cannot use 3.0 and this machine cannot /read/ 3.0 pages document.
consequently, i would like to almost always open Pages documents with the 09 version or i would like to temporarily unload 3.0 so that i don't end up with a mess of files that only open on my laptop.
unfortunately when i right click on a PAGES document and go to PAGES 09 and check "Always Open With" - this single document opens with pages 09 but other pages documents seem to open with pages 3.0.
am i missing something here or is this the intended implementation? i mean, can i set pages documents on this computer ot always open with 09 unless i manually tell it to open with 3.0 or am i somehow supposed to tell every pages file on my HD to open with 09 (which is obviously not workable).
any ideas on what i am missing or if my system is acting buggy.
thanks

hi T.
thanks a bunch.
somehow i forgot this fact.
does seem like for new users they could put a prompt in Open With Other to direct people to Get Info and in Get Info they could put a prompt to direct people to Open With Other in the event one has one workflow need as opposed to the other. this is a pretty basic user need, there is nothing obvious in the prompts that tells you what in fact you are doing, and even after having been back on the mac for a number of years now it is not one i remember even when working in the UI.
again many thanks.

The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
