Firefox on Win XP resets printer settings each time

I want to print multiple web pages, but each time I need to go into me printer preferences and change the settings. Printer is on a business network.
I see: print.save_print_settings = true in my about:config
Please help. I have bad carpal tunnel so want to avoid so many clicks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

Hi,
You may have to disable '''Site Preferences''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Privacy''' > '''Settings'''..., if it is enabled (ticked).

Reset printer settings....still no print....plus added items to menu bar...they're gone

reset printer settings....still no print....plus added items to menu bar...they're gone from bar & customize window...title bar changed

Firefox doesn't print some pages well, but if you have this problem on all pages, there may be some problem with Firefox's ability to work with your printer driver. If it's only particular pages, can you post the URLs for an assessment?
I'm not clear on what happened with Cut, Copy & Paste: you moved them from the menu drop-down to the toolbar and then they disappeared?
If you return to Customize mode, try clicking Restore Defaults and see whether things return to normal.
When you say "toolbar background" do you mean a theme you were using in an earlier version of Firefox? Otherwise, there's not much to see.
If Firefox is becoming transparent or showing some desktop or showing other display glitches it may be incompatible with your graphics card drivers. The standard workaround for that is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics.
3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect the next time you exit out of Firefox and restart it.

When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

Please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "''Copy Link Location''" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened. None of my preferances save. Why not?

CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened. None of my preferances save. Why not?

Then your preferences are not being saved.
Assuming you actually quit Photoshop (instead of shutting down the machine) - your preferences should be saved whenever you exit Photoshop.
Most likely your preferences folder has the wrong permissions and the preferences are not being written on exit. What OS version are you using?

My firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep the icon on the bottom of my screen? Thank you.

Hello, My Firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep it at the bottom of my screen (it used to stay there)?

Does that mean you have to sign out of creative cloud on one machine and sign back in to creative cloud on the other machine to be able to use it?
No. You can be signed in to the Cloud (using the same Adobe ID) on two separate computers at the same time.
If you want to activate the Cloud on a 3rd machine then you need to sign out of one of the other computers.
Your issue on your home computer is unlikely to be related to signing in.
Mac or Windows at home? Which operating system?

HT204053 can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and how do I sync updates on applications? Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.

can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and how do I sync updates on applications purchased from either store? Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way. The trouble is I set up my appleid in new Zealand and so all icloud and itunes and app stores are under New Zealand Apple ID I have since moved to Australia. Im a real beginner at this stuff so bare with me pse.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

My Pixma MG5220 seems to "process" unendingly with the initial print command each time I use it.

My Pixma MG5220 seems to "process" unendingly with the initial print command each time I use it. May be autocleaning, but it extends time necessary to print, and I suspect it is wasting ink. Can anything be done to shorten the "Processing" cycle or limit the number of times it occurs?

Hi excomm,
The PIXMA MG5220 and all of our Canon printers are setup to automatically perform a cleaning when it has been a certain amount of time since the last cleaning was performed. This is done automatically by the printer and is hard wired into the printer system. Unfortunately, this cannot be changed.
I hope this answers your question.

Default printer settings in Reader X? Why must I reset my print option each time?

Each time I try to print a pdf, the application takes over the printing duties instead of allowing my printer options to come up. There is the option to set printer options by clicking on the "Printer..." button. This is annoying to be sure, but the big problem is that I have to do this each time I desire double sided printing, which is always. If the application demands control over printing, it should be able to utilize the features offered by my printer and set a default print option. In the very least, it should used the last printer option selected. Is there any way to do this? It is annoying and often wastes paper as I use command P/Enter to print when I'm in a hurry.
On the up side, I love that it was easy to set the default page view/zoom options.

USB interface? Are you using one of those USB to parallel adapter cables?
They don't allow two-way comm - which is how the printer tells the computer "done with this page."
You can try this special USB driver that deals with this problem:

Any reason you stopped using network printing?

Firefox switches proxy settings each time a new window is opened

Hello folks!
I'm having a curious problem with Firefox 18.0 since the last update.
Every time I open Firefox or a new application, the proxy settings are set to "Use system proxy settings".
Here's a screenshot of how it looks like right after I opened firefox. In the background you can see the message I now always get, "Unable to find proxy server".
I always have to change this back to "No proxy" to surf the internet. This setting is kept until I open the next window or close and re-open Firefox, than it's reset back at this again, an opening websites does not work.
I first had the idea that the ProxyFoxy-AddIn is causing that, but the problem still exists also after disabling ProxyFoxy.
I'm not sure if this is a Firefox bug or another problem. Maybe can anyone tell me where to set "system proxy settings" in Arch Linux, so that I can avoid this problem. Or do I need to contact Mozilla in this case?
Thank you!
Jan

I think there might be a bug in FF18. After the upgrade, I would also get the error message and couldn't open any site, though using "No proxy" worked I believe. Turns out I had something set under network.proxy.socks (and network.proxy.socks_port) (leftovers of tests done a while back) and even though they shouldn't have been used (I believe, FF17 didn't & I'm using "Use system proxy settings") they obviously were, leading to the problem.
Just resetting those 2 options fixed things for me, and I didn't have time to look into it more, but there might be a bug in there somewhere...
Maybe try checking under about:config if you have any proxy settings set (that you don't need/use) (You don't seem to have any set, but I can't recall if they were visible in the Preferences window or not for me...), and if so reset them. Or just look for any (network) options not using its default value... (Assuming, as it did for me, that running FF18 with a brand new profile works fine.)

Firefox 3.6.8 asks to update each time it is opened

3.6.8. was installed and now when I open Firefox it wants to update each time. Also after installing 3.6.8 I have had BSOD 3 times times, so I don't allow it to update and so far no more BSOD. Windows 7 ultimate.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after updating to 3.6.8

Did you install an extension?

Firefox hangs then my screen goes funny, each time I click onto something it hangs again. eventually it crashes

For the past two days after about 5 or 10 mins or so firefox stops responding. It starts to hang. Then my theme disapears to be replaced with a greyish screen. Each time I try to access the menu bar it hangs again. The only way round it, is to close firefox down and re-load it back in again when everything is fine then starts to go funny again. This problem isn't just happening on my laptop it's also doing the same thing to my boyfriends. I'm running off a dongle he is running off the internet. It's almost like there's a glitch on the system. But I can't find it. The main problem is once it hangs it will either throw me out of the internet & I have to submit a crash report, but trying to access the crash report - there's nothing there.
Please help? or advise.

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Must reset ipod touch each time install apps

Got an iPod Touch (5.0.1) for Christmas. Using iTunes 10.5.1.42 on Win 7 box. I must restore the iPod each time I want to install more apps. It has over 4 GB of memory left. The Sync Apps area is all greyed out and nothing moves unless I restore it each time. This can take almost an hour. Its ridiculous. (Don't know if it's related but iTunes freezes almost every time it launches.) Anybody know how to fix this?
--Allen

Ok. I found the problem. I needed to go into Settings > General > Restrictions, then turn on Installing Apps. Somehow that was turned off.

Since loading firefox 4 2 stage verification is required each time I open gmail. How do I turn this off?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, each time I try to open my gmail account, the sign-in page presents me with an encrypted word (usually which I cannot read) to fill in in addition to my password.
This is infuriating and is slowing down my email access, also the letter string is sometimes illegible. How do I turn this off?
