Firefox does not automatically shut down when I turn off my computer. It used to before this latest Firefox upgrade.

In the past, when I shut my computer down, Firefox would automatically close. Now, Firefox has problems closing at shut down. This happens every time I shut off my computer. I'm using Windows XP pro on a desktop.

Yep, that did it. Thanks for that tip.
However, the other issue is that whenever I start Firefox, the tabs I had open when I shut down do not automatically load. Again, this did not happen before the latest Firefox upgrade.
I have to say that I like the idea of AVG watching my back against malicious links, and not that it's disabled I'm concerned about viruses. Or should I be?
Thanks again for the help.

Firefox does not completely shut down when X'd out, I have to do a restart to completly close the program, is this common?

I just upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 and the upgrade program told me that Firefox had to be closed before the new version could be installed. I had already X'ed out Firefox knowing that it needed to be closed before I could do an install. I finally had to do a restart before I could install the new version. This has happened in the past with other versions of Firefox. Firefox keeps running in the back ground for some reason and ends up using resources that are needed else where. In the past I have deleted Firefox from my computer to solve the problem, can you solve the problem or should I delete the program and use another browser?

Must be the "hang at exit" problem. You already know how to do Step1; now just determine which Add-on (Extension or Plugin) is causing the problem.<br /><br />

Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

Java based Chat console works fine, but does not automatically scroll down to last chat item

Hi,
I am currently facing a problem with a Chat program using jsp (Java Server Pages) where the chat console works perfect except for one little thing.
The chat window does not automatically scroll down to the last reply in the chat window.
the code used to scroll down to the last items (based on Netscape) is the following:
<pre><nowiki>if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) {
isOther = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "3");
isNS4 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "4");
isNS6 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "5");
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer") != -1) {
isIE = true;
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Opera") != -1) {
isOpera = true;
} else {
isOther = true;
if (navigator.platform.indexOf("Mac") != -1)
isMac = true;
if (isOther)
alert("Sorry but you will have to upgrade your browser to NS4+ or IE4+ for this to work properly.");
function setScrollProperties() {
if (isMac) {
scrollStart = 0;
scrollEnd = answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
} else {
scrollStart = 0;
scrollEnd = answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
function doScroll() {
documentYposition += scrollAmount;
window.scrollTo(0,documentYposition);
if (documentYposition < scrollEnd) {
setTimeout('doScroll()',slowScrollInterval);
}else if (moreScrolling){
moreScrolling = false;
scrolling = false;
startScroll();
}else{
scrolling = false;
}</nowiki></pre>
I cannot see what goes wrong in here and the manufacturer does not know how to fix this either.
Irritatingly this scrolling function is working normally in IE, Chrome and some other browsers.
I sure hope you can help me, as this is a very irritating problem that needs to be solved.
Best regards,
Corné Snoek

Hi,
sorry for such a late reply. I tried modifying the java bean to resize the JScrollPane object also but even that didn't work. Then I hardcoded the size of my Java Bean in my forms code by trial and error. For example, the size of the bean area was 381x169. The values that I had to pass to the "setSize" bean method were 510x195. This made the bean exactly fit the bean area. Seems crazy to me, but there it is.
Anyway, thank you.

Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

Hi @ll,
default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

SD Card does not automatically pop up when inserted in HP Pavillion slimline desktop

SD Card does not automatically pop up when inserted in HP Pavillion slimline desktop
Computer is 1 year old. I have never had to use sd card slot until now. When I put sd card it does not automatically pop up on screen like my other computers. How to I acces my files?

Hi,
Can you still see it in File Explorer ? To protect your machine (virus, malware ...) Windows 8.1 will ask you to open it or not. You should hear a sound when you plug an external HDD or SD card to your computer.
I would not ask my machine to pop up SD card or anything automatically. Can you hear a sound when you put SD card to your computer ? At the same time, a message will pop up and ask you what do you want to do with it.
Regards.

Is there a way to have the nano automatically shut down when external power is removed?

My old ipod shut down when I disconnected the external power, a useful feature when using it in the car. Can the 6th Gen nano be configured to do this?

Not that I'm aware.

Satellite A100 does not "really" shut down

Hey everybody!
I have a Satellite A100 here and the problem is ... yeah, it does not really shut down. I can choose "Shut Down" in Windows and Windows shuts down, the monitor turns black and the notebook does not work anymore, but it does not turn off itself. The blue lights are still glowing. To switch off the system I have to push the on-off-switch for a few seconds.
The problem occured three days ago. I don't think it's a virus (someone on the net assumed that), because the system has no connection to the internet and has'nt seen any usb-stick or whatever for at least half a year. The user told me he changed the energy-options from "Toshiba Power Saver" to "Desktop". Of course I changed it back, but this did'nt solve the problem. I also did'nt find anything helpful in the options. Anyone out there who knows the problem or knows what to do? :-)
Greetins,
coincidence

Unfortunately, I can't. I choose "Shut down" in safe-mode and the operating system does a simple reboot. The notebook does not turn off at all.
Thanks so far. :) Merry Christmas!

My new ipod nano does not work when you turn off the computer

I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

Hello pepi95,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.
