Firefox highlights all links in pink with dotted borders, how do I make it stop doing this?

Firefox highlights all links on web pages in pink with a dotted border. Sometimes the links are not highlighted when I first visit a new site, but after a few clicks then Firefox highlights all of them everywhere and it often makes the navigation difficult to read with all the pink boxes everywhere. How can I make Firefox stop doing this?

If the background of links is red then that is probably caused by an extension like SEO or SearchStatus that has the option set to highlight noFollow links. 
You can check the options of such an extension. 
You can click the icon on the Status bar to open the SearchStatus options and un-tick "Highlight NoFollow Links"

Firefox is copying the text attached to an image, how do I make it stop?

Specifically on a pet website called subeta.net, but I have confirmed reports from friends that it is also doing so on sites such as gaiaonline and neopets.
Basically what's happening is that if you highlight the image for an item from one of these sights and then try to copy and paste, it will paste the text that is attached to the item. I never had this problem with any previous versions of Firefox, and have confirmed for myself that it is Firefox's doing because I have tried the exact same thing on Internet Explorer and where I tried to copy the image it just gave me a few blank spaces, same as the old Firefox used to do.
I have been in contact with the support staff on Subeta, and they have confirmed that users still using older versions of Firefox and other browsers are not having this issue.
So what I need to know is simply this - how can I (if possible) turn this off? I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but there are certain time-sensitive features of these sites that make the fact that this is happening very, very annoying.

I was fine with that... now Firefox doesn't do this... I want the exact opposite...
Anyone knows how to able or disable this stuff about dragging images?

Firefox opens blank windows, plus a normal window with my previous sessions, whenever I start (Firefox 6 on Windows XP) so how do I make it stop doing that?

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my Windows XP computer opens about 40 blank Firefox windows whenever I start or restart Firefox. I get my previous session (a single window with multiple tabs) but also these 40+ blank windows that I have to close. So I close them all, restart, and get same thing.

I have a spread sheet full of values. How do I go through the table quickly and highlight all values over a certain amount? Is there a quick way of doing this?

Hi Ken
Use Conditional Format to provide a Cell colour fill or a font colour if the Cell contents exceed a certain value.
Here is a thread where the question was to highlight values below a certain value, but I think you will get the idea!

Welcome tab present each time I start Firefox, my homepage is opened in separate window. How do I make it stop?

I clicked something and it started importing all my emails from other account. How do I make it stop. I Don't want them all

Setting up account.
I want to get new emails from the yahoo account but don't want them all copied.
Can I do this?
It started importing and I can't get it to stop. How can I stop it

it is useful to offer some info on what type of account you're talking about.
'''POP'''
Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
So if you do not want older emails downloading, then you need to access your webmail account using a browser and move all older emails into a suitable folder, but not the Inbox, then Thunderbird cannot see them.
By default, it usually downloads and deletes the copy on the server, but you can change this preference.
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select: 'leave messages on the server'
optional:
select: 'for at most xx days'
this will delete anything older than specified number of days
select 'Until I delete them'
when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
click on Ok to save settings.
'''Stopping a download:'''
There is a button you can add to the Mail toolbar.
* View > Toolbars > customise
or
* Menu Icon > Options > Toolbar Layout
Drag the 'Stop' icon onto toolbar.
close Customise window - top right X.
click on 'Stop' icon to stop current action of download.
'''IMAP:'''
IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders on the server, so you would see whatever is in any subscribed folder.
You can choose to synchronize subscribed folders and select settings to limit what is downloaded.
Tools > Account Settings > synchronization & storage.
see good info at this link:

Trash Always Want Me Type in PW With Lion. How Do I Make It Stop?

Just upgraded to Lion into my iMac. Now every time I go to trash something, I get the dialogue box.."Finder Wants To Make Changes. Type Your Password To Do This. How do I turn off this annoying addition with Lion?
Thanks

Same problem. Repair permissions doesn't fix it. New mini, 10.7. Got my first kernel panic and had to reinstall 10.7 the second day, but that didn't fix the problem of constantly being asked for the password either.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc. It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update. Lost lot of info from calendar.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

Why does firefox ask which program to open with and not start as automatic default? Why does it not go to home page?

When I click on firefox, it asks which program I want to open Firefox with, then asks me to download files. It does this every time I try to open Firefox. It does not automatically default to my home page as well. How can I change this back to an automatic process?

See item #31 (#tabslost) in the following

I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update. Where are they and why did this happen?

What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup.

I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
