Firefox always on top (No Addon's installed) I moved away from chrome for this but it still happens in latest version?

I have installed latest version of FF
It started off great for a few hours and then it happened, ALWAYS ON TOP
I have to shut down and start again
no additional add-ons have been installed, it is out of the box
Can you please fix this? I have the same issue with chrome which is a great browser however it actually is so problematic for me that I switched to mozilla. However you have the same problem.
Help please.
Regards

When this happens, can you force all windows to minimize as a workaround (instead of shutting down), then choose the desired window from the jump list on the Firefox icon on the task bar? Either:
* Window key + d
* Window key + m
* click the unmarked vertical button at the far right end of the Windows task bar
I can't think of a way for a web page to put itself in front of all other applications, but perhaps it could do so using a plugin.
Have you noticed any pattern in the sites where this happens?

Firefox always on top problem

when i use firefox 3.5.9 and then make it always on top of other windows even if i minimize the window for a short period to check another window and then re maximize it firefox still remembers the stay on top setting.
but with version 3.6.3 if i set it always on top and then minimize and then maximise it forgets this setting and will be like any regular window. so how can i fix this. (every other windows program remembers the setting like firefox 3.5.9 but firefox 3.6.3 is a strange exception)

When I restarted in safe mode, the firefox window was no longer stuck on top. Restarted again (firefox was set to "show my windows and tabs from last time" for both restarts) in regular mode and it stayed fixed. Maybe just a restart where "show my windows and tabs from last time" is firefox start up setting would fix stuck on top problem?

Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists.

each time I open Fire Fox I get this error "Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists." and
I can't search for anything. HELP!!!
Thanks
Tom

That is a problem with an extension that tries to install a search bar. The tnt2toolbar should give you a clue about which extension. You didn't add troubleshooting information with the list of installed extensions, so I can't give a suggestion about which extension is causing this.
You can check for problems with preferences. 
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number. Now what?

I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acrobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number. Now what?

If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine. YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

If you use a Master Password then your passwords can only be accessed after you have supplied that MP during a session.
You will be prompted to enter the MP the first time it is needed in a session.
You can logout from the Software Security Device (e.g. click Cancel in the "Show Passwords" dialog) to force re-entering the MP once again.

What computer OS are you using? What happens when you try and uninstall it, since you say it doesn't work?

U401 touch windows 8 audio driver unable to install error could not find divice for this driver

u401 touch windows 8 audio driver unable to 0wau05w8.exe install error could not find device for this driver
kindly advise

hi karthi2lenovo,
Welcome to the Forums.
If the conexant audio drivers from the lenovo website doesn't detect the device, can you try to:
1. Open Device Manager (press Winkey+R > type devmgmt.msc)
2. On the device manager, open Sound, video, and game controllers and Other Devices then check the status (if there's a yellow exclamation mark, error codes, etc.)
3. As an alternative, try this conexant driver from station-drivers:
Conexant High Definition Smart Audio
Version 8.64.59.52 (Win8)
Let me know your findings,
neokenchi

Since uploading Firefox 4 I get error messages saying it can't update and I should be sure I am using the latest version. I am, so why will updates not load?

The question is in the title. I have had no updates to Firefox 4, just error messages saying they can't be loaded and I should check that I am using the latest version. I have downloaded Firefox 4 again to be sure my copy is up to date but it makes no difference. I still get the error message.

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder. 
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

Firefox always on top, can't alt-tab to other open windows/apps

I have updated to 11.0, windows vista. I didn't notice or have this problem before the update. for example if I have firefox open and click on my calculator, the only way I can see it is to minimize firefox. I cannot alt-tab to it nor can I click the icon in my status bar of windows.???
I have looked through the settings, I didn't see an always on top option, but that's what it seems like.
Any and all info will be appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

When I restarted in safe mode, the firefox window was no longer stuck on top. Restarted again (firefox was set to "show my windows and tabs from last time" for both restarts) in regular mode and it stayed fixed. Maybe just a restart where "show my windows and tabs from last time" is firefox start up setting would fix stuck on top problem?

WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS ON TOP. WHY THIS CHANGE?

I was able to open a file over top of Firefox, and could switch back and forth between them. Now it is "always on top" and must be minimized to get to other programs (example word)

Just in case you are in full screen mode, try using the F11 key to switch to normal mode. (If that switches to full screen mode, use F11 to switch back.)
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I can not install the 'attach files more easily' facility in my yahoo email. Is this because I now have the latest version of Firefox? I had it on my previous version.

To send photos I need the 'attach files more easily' facility in my Yahoo email. After I recently upgraded my broadband so that I now get 37mb speed, Firefox (and Internet Explorer) started to 'not respond' so I un-installed it then re-installed it. I got the latest version of Firefox and now I can't get the facility back again. Have you got any suggestions? Yahoo have not been able to help.

I could only find this link, hoping it will work:
