FIrefox Browser ZOOM problem- When I press the 9 number key FIrefox zooms out and when I press a 0 number key Firefox zooms in

FIrefox Browser problem- Suddenly now when I press the 9 number key (or 6) FIrefox zooms out and when I press a 0 number key Firefox zooms in. This just started happening 2 days ago. I am using a Mac and I have the latest Firefox . No updates of any kind have occurred in the past 4-5 days, so I must have inadvertedly activated this.
How can I deactivate this?
Note to Mozilla support: Please do not close this thread- I believe that it most specifically pinpoints the actual problem
that I am facing, so hopefully I can find others with a similar problem (& solution!)
The older thread can be ignored/closed.
Also- I tried to respond to 2 tech support emails that I received, but I was unable to do so.

My Firefox Browser tool bar ( ... with the buttons "Bookmarks"," History", "Tools". etc, ) has disappeared -- how can i restore it ?

I access the internet through the Mozilla Firefox browser with a "toolbar"that was originally as described above. My default "home page " is the AOL web site through which I access e-mail . AOL offered a" toolbar" -- I installed it and '''several days later'''the top "bar " on my computer changed to read " Aol - Mozilla Firefox, etc., .... " but with "the buttons " ---" Bookmarks , History , Tools, ...etc. " ---gone . The " Aol Toolbar " is the next" band " down . How do I restore the original configuration ? Can I have two such " tool bars" ? I'd be happy with just the "original ". Thanks --- Hhutson 1

When I was setting up the language Setting, I pressed the play/pause button three times and now the voice that talks you through everything speaks extremely fast. How do I get her to speak slower?

When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

That is usually caused by a missing unpack directive (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the file install.rdf of that extension.

I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

How to tell when View is about to transition to another view and when the app is going to backgorund

Hello,
I have a view that displays an actionContent button and removes it when the view goes away.
I add it on the creationComplete event handler and remove it on the viewDeactivate event handler.
The problem is that the viewDeactivate is fired when the the Menu button is pressed or a phone call is received for example and thus it removes the button.
When the application is brought back, the button is no longer there.
Although I can add the code to create the button again on viewActivate this time, I wonder if there is a better way to do this.
Thank you.

viewDeactivate - fires when view slided out and when app goes to background
removing - fires when slide out effect started
remove - fires when slide out effect ended

Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.
