Firefox comes up in "safe" mode. How do I turn it off. I can't use the program this way.
About two weeks ago some virus (?) got in my computer. I lost everything and had to reload everything.
When I reloaded Firefox it came up 'locked'. Nothing would react to my mouse.
I discovered it came up in "safe" mode. I removed the program and reloaded it again. It came up in safe mode again. When I hit start and look at programs Firefox is there and under it is another Firefox program with safe mode in parenthesis. I can't use it this way. How do I turn safe mode off?
See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]], the last option seems to be the most likely in your case.

This might sound stupid, but once when I was about to quit Firefox, I got the warning prompt if I wanted to close multiple tabs.. As I was going to click save and quit I accidentally pressed the "save these settings". Now I jsut wonder, how do I turn it off, so that Fireox sends the prompt whenever I try to close multiple tabs? I'm running 3.6.6 with OS X Snow Leopard.
You can reset the ''warn'' prefs on the '''about:config''' page via the right-click context menu.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
In Firefox 3 you do not get the "Save & Quit" pop-up dialog if you choose Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
To get the "Save & Quit" pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page). -
My computer is running windows 7, it's an HP tx2z touch screen laptop. My mouse pad scroll doesn't work on firefox 4. Also some features seem to missing such as the condensed menu bar and tab sorting that was spoken about in the introduction to firefox 4 video.
Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

I don't know what else to say other than I have had Firefox for a while and an update came up and so I updated and Firefox has not worked right since then. I open a tab and it comes back Object Move (here) or Object moved temporary or some such crap. I then have to to the Firefox control go to help and and restart with add -on's Disabled I have tried ever other setting listed and nothing changes this problem from happening.
Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?
I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong
Fred
Sorry Fred you are wrong.
If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application. -

Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?
Something called Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?
Saw this advice in another thread:
Try turning it off and on again. Failing that try holding the home button and power button untill the device turns off. Then turn it back on again -
I have windows 7 operating system - I just downloaded firefox but it is running in "safe mode" rather than normal mode can you teach me how to fix this please?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I downloaded it and first used itDo you get the [[Safe mode]] start window?
See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
If you do not get the Safe mode start window then see this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Firefox has gone into safe mode. what happened and how do i fix it?
when i loaded firefox it went into safe mode and now firefox is useless
How do you know it is in Safe Mode?
Normally closing Firefox - Firefox button>Exit or File>Exit - and waiting a few seconds before re-opening should put you back into Normal Mode.
If not, check with Task Manager and close Firefox if it is still running.
Please sign in when you report back on progress. You may need to do some troubleshooting. Full system details would help. -
The article I'm referring to is this one:

I went through all three suggestions, still have the problem. Using Windows XP.Yesterday I tried starting it from the "all programs" path instead of the quick launch button. Didn't work. Restarted the computer and tried from the quick launch button. Didn't work. Just tried it again from the "all programs" path , and now it's working in normal mode again. What the heck?
Well, I'll take it. -

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.
I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go.
