Firefox Maximizes by Itself After Being Minimized, even if I am working on something else, it will maximize and come to the forefront of my screen...can this be stopped?

While I have the FF browser minimized and I am working on another application or in another browser, the FF browser will maximize and jump up on my screen automatically. This happens often while it is minimized. There are no pages that would seem to auto-refresh (don't think that's relevant though). The whole thing will randomly maximize for no reason. Can this be stopped?
It's annoying, especially if I am working and training people and the FF browser jumps up out of nowhere after being dormant. This has been happening for several week, it's now become bothersome.

Ya, it takes forever for it to happen. It seemed to be doing it with almost all of my add-ons... It's probably some combination of add-ons.
illumiveri, can you confirm if you have some of the same add-ons as me. I have:
* Adblock plus
* BetterPrivacy
* ChromeEdit Plus
* FindBar Tweak
* NoScript
* Tab Mix Plus
It happened like 3 times within a few hours. It's like someone or something is controlling my mac. It's disconcerting. I disabled remove cookies by timer in betterprivacy. Now let's see. Also, I upgraded to fx 7. so it was happening since 4 and even with 7.

I get a pop-up from Firefox saying there are updates available. When I run this program nothing happens. I've checked your site and my new computer and I have the most recent version. Can you help stop this thing from coming on? thanks! "

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

Pixelated worksheet after being minimized!

This is just a minor problem but, can anyone explain why my multi- worksheet workbook renders pixelated after being minimized and then maximized? The only way to correct it is to select another worksheet within the same workbook and then return back to the original one!

Glen,
Just guessing, but is it possible that you're running short on memory, either RAM or HD? Shut down your unneeded apps and perhaps even try a Restart. See if things improve. If so, it may be memory. Beyond that, I would be at a loss.

My iPod was restored after being disabled. I am trying to sign into iCloud to load my back-up on the iPod. I can't sign in because the sign-in always times out. Why is this?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there. I have more info now though. It's not a problem with merging.
The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
When aperture start, it shows "importing". When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box. In the activity box, has many lines as below. The added projcts are all empty. It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

The sound will no longer come through my headphones on my iPad I've tried several different headsets. The sound works as normal without the headphones but will still not come through the headphones even thoug I have tried to reset it twice. This is the new ipad with retina display and is only 2 months old and otherwise works fine. Please help!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPad. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPad for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

That is usually caused by a missing unpack directive (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the file install.rdf of that extension.

I had previously purchased 56 songs, over a year ago. Tonight I purchased 22 more. It seems that I am being charged for all 78 that are currently in the library. How can this be stopped?

I doubt that this is happening. Why do you think that you are being charged for all 78?
Did you buy them again?
You only buy one download, so if you downloaded them again you would have to pay again.

My book package validated, and delivered, but after several days, I have not been notified that Apple has it, or that it is in the iBooks store. When can I expect to hear something?

Did you check in iTunes Producer if your package really imported correctly?
While in iTunes Producer, you go to "File" and then click on "Package History", it will fetch the status on the Apple system on-line.
I have the same problem since I have been trying to update my previsously published book, I keep getting import error messages. I tried omitting the version number and "whats new in this version" but nothing seems to work... Sent emails to Apple through the iTunes producer tool but to no avail - so far.

The ff default theme keeps re-enabling itself after computer restart even though I enable littlefox and restart firefox, and it does the same on more than one computer. I want littlefox to start with firefox, not have to enable every time.

Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.

I also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself (also the add-ons) even when I turn off auto-update.
Sometimes you do not want to update or download a large file; because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off from the previous session, it changes the options to auto-update by itself, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to check again from to time, like a few times a day, because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update.

Firefox crashes 30 seconds after being opened

I have The OS 10.5.8. Firefox is The OS is 10.6.8. and says it is up to date. In the past few days the browsree crashes after about 30 seconds to one minute of being opened.
below are the crash IDs:
Crash ID: bp-d17bafb4-5ae1-4bd3-b4a0-22c242131212
Crash ID: bp-b427aaf0-1dec-48af-9db1-bebfd2131212

Hi
From the crash reports I see you use a very old version of Firefox. It's more than one year old. You should upgrade and see if the problem is solved.
You can find latest downloads here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ If you can't use update within Firefox (Check the about Firefox in help menu).
Edit: just noticed you that you have old OSX, so you can't update Firefox. :(
(only OSX 10.6 – 10.9 can have the latest Firefox)
Edit2: Found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/751524
Only a clue but do you have file sharing not disabled?
