Firefox is auto loading every time I start Windows 7. How can I stop this from happening?

Windows 7 - 64 bit. Firefox 7.0.1

I set the default browser to chrome, no change. I then set it to IE, still no change. Every time I boot the computer it starts FF with google as the home page and no bookmarks or toolbars. I must then close it and wait until it is completely dead and then double click on my FF icon on the desktop. When the version of FF that I actually use starts, my home page is Yahoo, just as I set it to be. This version of FF also has my tool bars and bookmarks.

Whenever i turn on my macbook pro ,, mac office , powerpoint and excel starts up itself , how can i stop this from happening?

how can stop this from turning on itself?

Apple menu -> System preferences -> Users -> select your user, and select Login Items. There is where automatic launching happens. The other thing is, with Mac OS X 10.8 and later, there is a checkbox when you restart or shut down your Mac to reopen windows that were open upon shutdown. Make sure that checkbox is unchecked. You aren't running Classic. You are running some version of Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro.

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

I don't want to be logged into game center, but it automatically logs me in every time I log out. How do I stop that from happening?

I am trying to disable my game center, but every time I log out of game center, it automatically logs me back in. How do I prevent this from happening?

System Preferences - Mail, Contacts and Calendars - delete the Facebook account you see there, and/or add your own account.

HT201210 This is the second time my iphone has had to restore, how can I stop this from happening?

My phone completely freezes and I get the itunes update icon. Can I change a setting on my phone to stop this from happening as I am unable to use my phone at all when it does this and sometimes when I have gone to update I just keep getting error messages.

There is no setting to stop this from happening, which means there is a major problem with your iPhone and the reason you can't use your iPhone at the time.
If you restored from your iPhone's backup, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If this occurs again shortly thereafter, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up. The open at login is not even checked. How can I stop this from happening?

I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X. Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing. I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked. How can I turn this feature off? It's driving me nuts!!

All fixed Barry. When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there. Do you want to open Windows when opening. NOPE!!
I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked. Thank you for your help today.
Best,

Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.

Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page<br>
'''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
'''url''' - a page that you want

Every time I view a website just once, it goes to my "Mosted Visited" . How can I stop this from happening? I thought this was just what it says "Mosted Visited" Not single visits to a web site.

Example: My wife views her e-mails every night. A lot of her e-mails are about recipes & stores with special offers. The next
morning all the sites that she visited are in the "Most Visited".
This also happens to me. I get tired of removing these sites from
"Most Visited".

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

That is a bug on Mac.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

When using the "Open With" functionality to download an eml file, firefox is appending a *.txt extension to the filename. How can I prevent this from happening?

If I save the file instead of open it, the file saves correctly (ie: without the added txt extension). If I attempt to open instead of save, the txt is added, resulting in the file opening as a text file instead of an eml file.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
