Firefox is not opening with focus (on top of other windows), why not?
when opening FF (5.0) or restarting, it does not open as top window on my (W7HP) desktop. I think it opens under which ever window was last active or pointer is over, but I would have to experiment some to prove that.
EDIT: after some experimenting, I cannot absolutely define when it will or will not open focused. Newsbin Pro might be a factor, when window open, FF tends to open under it.
Is the popup window a separate item on the taskbar? If not does, does selecting Firefox in the taskbar bring the window to the fore or just Firefox?
If Firefox was updated, then it could be that your CMS needs an update also, are there any available? I would definitely advise keeping up to date with any updates to the CMS as they often contain security/vulnerability updates as well as bug fixes.

In addition to my home page, every time I start Firefox a tab opens with notification of an updated addon. Why does this tab continue to appear even though there is no updated version of the addon?

IPhoto does not open with new Mt Lion
Just installed Mt Lion and cannot open iPhoto. Purchased iPhoto Library Manager and can add new photos and have my old library rebuilt but still cannot open iPhoto. This is the response I get when tried "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable". In iPhoto library manager iPhoto will not open with the option/command key pressed. Could not rebuild/open it in Time Machine. Suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?
Iam running Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Firefox 3.6.8 with MS Word Mac 2008Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?
Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

In last 2 days, firefox will not open with Onspeed enabled
In last 2 days Firefox 3.6.6 reports that it cannot find its server, when I have Onspeed enabled. If I disable Onspeed, no problem. I have not messed with either recently. I use Windows Vista and have Adobe and Java plugins installed.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I tried to start Firefox 2 days ago.After reading several posts in the Support Forum I tried a solution. I deleted the "sessionstore-backups" folder.
Please try this: click the menu button ≡ and then click help ? > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". Then a new window will open up. In this window look out for a folder named "sessionstore-backups", delete this folder and restart firefox afterwards.
The problem was resolved. -
Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?
I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.
@glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -

Hi,
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.

Firefox doesn't open with profile even after creating a profile through Profile Manager.
I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.
I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.
Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/

see if can find a method in the next link, not too useful i think for your win 8 : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protect_the_profiles_contents Protecting the contents of the profile]

The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
