Firefox 9.0 keeps downloading automatically, even though I unchecked the automatic update box. I don't want 9.0. How do I stop this?
I cannot use FF 9.0 on my work computer--it cannot connect to any site. FF 8.0 works great, and I want to keep it. But no matter how many times I uninstall 9.0 and re-install 8.0--UNchecking the box for automatic updated--9.0 keeps re-installing automatically after a day or two. How do I stop this?
Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.

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.

In the left corner of the browser I see a key now and every time I log in to a site or e-mail a pop-up shows up, asking me if i want to remember the password. I don't want the browser to do this. It's quite annoying. How do I turn this feature permanently off.
Go to Options -> Security, and uncheck the "Remember Passwords for Sites" Checkbox.

I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?
All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

When I try to install Lion it tell's me "You can't use this version of the application install mac os x Lion with this version of Mac os X" even though I have the latest update 10.5.8 of Mac os X?
The install icon has this sign on itmoose0422 wrote:
You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck -

Why can't I see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?
Hi lawalton,
Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.

Why does JDBC keep connections open even though I close the resultsets?
I attached my program and my output. Please bear with me for the long output. My question here is why do the connections remain even though I closed the resultsets. I need to reuse my prepared statements, but don't want to keep the oracle sessions open. Is this possible? What do I need to do?
If you notice in the program, I have executed the query to find the number of open sessions 5 times.
1) After creating the connections
2) After creating the prepared statements
3) After executing them
4) After getString on the resultSets
5) After closing the resultsets.
And the sessions are still there even is Step 5 :-(

You answered your own question: obviously closing the ResultSet is NOT the same thing as closing the connection.
When you do a query, you want to get the connection, statement, and result set, load the data from the result set into an object or data structure, and then immediately close them all again in reverse order of creation. You want to keep the scope as narrow as possible. You want to use a connection pool to keep the cost of obtaining a connection down. You should leave caching of the PreparedStatements to the JDBC driver.

The extension Firefox for Norton Toolbar 2011.7.2.3 was just updated to be compatible with Firefox 7.0.1, and it now warns me not to log on to my Facebook account, that it's a fraudulent website, even though it's the same web-site I've always used to log on to Facebook.
Can you help me with this issue?
Thank YouPlease see Norton support for help with that issue.

Firefox is acting as if it is keeping up history from months ago in the new tab section even though I clear history on every close.
Use private browsing, this option forget all your history, first clear your recent history then make the change:
*[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history Clear recent history]
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info Private Browsing]
Go to '''Tools''' >> '''Options''' >> '''Privacy''' change the option '''Firefox will:''' to '''Never remember history''' -
I finally decided to give ver 21 a chance. I did not use the help option in the browser but came directly to the Mozilla site and did the download from there. I chose the custom install and accepted the choices until the screen with the check box for the auto-maint. stuff. I do not want it and never have and have always unchecked the box and all went fine.
This time no matter what I try, I cant prevent it. I finally had to roll back using system restore. I can not figure out out to turn this thing off once it down loads and I just wasted another couple of hours getting a usable version of Firefox back in place.
I would like to update, but I am not willing to go through this again. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris L.I did the install in the default folder- and have done upgrades this way for years.
What happens is after doing the update, when I first click to open a Firefox browser window, before it opens I get a pop-up that says it is checking to see if my add-ons are up to date. After several seconds it then says they are and it closes.
Somewhere in the past when this feature started to appear, it did so automatically if I did an update through the help page link.That is why I refuse to use it. It did not respect my choices as using it always returned that dang add-on stuff. Plus it never asked if I wanted it nor did it offer the maint. box option.
What I used to do was use Explorer (not IE) on XP to get on the net. First I would delete Firefox, leaving my info. Then I used Explorer to go to the Mozilla site and downloaded Firefox as if it were my first time. Then I unchecked the box using the custom install route, the new version installed and the add-on thing never happened.
I can't do the Explorer trick in Win 7 and I don't let IE be functional on my system. So I just went in the front door, clicked the install for Firefox and went the custom route, unchecked the box and got the dang add-on checker back,
So what I did this time was to save a download of version 20.0.1 from the rollback site I have used over the years instead of installing. Then I uninstalled Firefox, keeping my info, rebooted the PC and ran the download. When I did, I unchecked the box as always and when done, the add-on checker was back anyway.
I finally had to do a system restore and and got version 20.0.1 back that way and am using it and no add-on checker runs. I am loathe to lose all my extensions or add-ons and settings that may be at risk doing a reset. I have been down that road before. I have been a Firefox user for a number of years now, it is the only browser I keep on my box.
However, I am not a fan of software functions that try to take decisions away from me. I am rarely a fan of anything that gets labelled or actually named as smart for the most part. I do not mind software to help others who don't care if it usurps their ability to decide, I do object to being forced to use it. All I want is the off switch for it.
It wasn't until I learned that two features included with ver. 21 I would not let on my system could be turned off that I was even willing to download the upgrade. And when I did, it took me a couple of hours to get back to a working version of 20.0.1 and rid myself of the add-on checker.
On light of the above additional detail, any ideas? -
