Firefox opens at startup on my iMac. It is not in startup items and not checked to open at login.

There aren't really any more details to add. I have checked everything I can think of in the Library folder and thrown out anything I thought might affect it. Firefox is not set as my default browser.
I have read many threads of people having this problem both here and on the Apple Support site. Most seem to be solved by unchecking "Open at Login" in the Dock icon or removing Firefox from the Startup Items in the System Preferences. Neither applies here. HELP!!! I like Firefox and use it from time to time but it seems the only way to stop this behavior is to remove it from my computer, which I will do if a solution can't be found.
Thanks for your efforts.

Yes. I checked all of the places I could think of and those mentioned in the threads I read. Login items is what I was referring to when I said, "removing Firefox from the Startup Items in the System Preferences".
This is a nefarious problem!

The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Maximum open item % and no of days open item in credit management

Hi
Can any body explain how works " Maximum open item % and no of days open item " after checked in ova8 with examples.in credit management.
regards

hello, friend.
maximum open items is helpful for you if the customer is still within credit limit but has overdue open items.
let's say your customer has a credit limit of $100,000.00. and you set in OVA8 for maximum of 20% or $20,000.00.
now let's say your customer's total exposure is $43,699.00, which is still within credit limit. however, out of this, $21,245.00 is over the credit terms of 14 days. now if you set "1" in days in OVA8, 1 day after overdue the system will either block the newly processed sales order or issue a warning, depending on OVA8 settings.
regards.

HT5037 I now can't open iPhoto! have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!

I now can't open iPhoto! have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!

To be able to help, we will need more details.
What is your current iPhoto version, Anthony? And your MacOS X version? And what was the iPhoto version you upgraded from?
What happens, when you try to open your iPhoto library?
have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!
You say, you downloaded everything - did you download the Library upgrader? And did you install and run it? Was there any error message?
If your iPhoto library has been upgraded ny the upgrader, you should be able to upgrade it to your current iPhoto version by double clicking it to launch iPhoto on it. Have you tried that? What happens when you try?
One problem to check for - iPhoto may be unable to open your iPhoto library, if it is not on a dsk formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled). Check the formatting of the drive with your iPhoto library.

Also, if you downloaded earlier in the week, make sure you have the 37.0.1 updated that was released on Friday (I think).
If needed, I suggest installing a slightly different way the next time:
'''Clean Reinstall'''
We use this name, but it's not about removing your settings, it's about making sure the program files are clean. As described below, this process does not disturb your existing settings. Do NOT uninstall Firefox, that's not needed.
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 37.0.1 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the program folder
''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any difference?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* \OldFirefox\Plugins
* \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

5 months passed and I didn't receive an item. and I can't open a request (no more option)

5 months passed and I didn't receive an item. and I can't open a request (no more such an option). the item is new hot European women car pattern handbag fashion shoulder messenger bag ( 181348649935 )

Oh dear.EBay only allows 45 days for a dispute to be opened for Item Not Recieved.Normal delivery, in my experience, would be15 days from Europe*20 days from North America30 days from Asia.**At that point, you should be asking the seller for the date of shipping, the service used and the tracking number. It is not important that the seller have a tracking number, on low cost items there won't be one. You want his response.If the response is unsatisfactory (anything less than a useable tracking number or a full refund is unsatisfactory) then move to the Dispute within 45 days. Since January, Paypal has allowed refund claims to be opened for 180 days. That's six months but act today.So you should go to your PP account and look for the Resolution Centre on the left side of your Payments page.You will need the number of the PP transaction. If the seller cannot prove delivery, he will be required to refund your original payment. If he doesn't , PP will refund you and go after the seller for their money. Hard. If neither works, you can try going to the credit card you really paid with (PP is really just a useful mediator) and phone the 1-800 number on the card. Ask the customer service rep about a chargeback. So you have three levels of protection.Go get your money. *Europeans tend to ship by Air Mail.**Asian sellers will tell you it takes longer. Maybe, but usually this is a sign that you are being scammed.

I opened original iPhoto Library (from iMac 10.8.5) on new MBP and now it won't open on iMac

As my main computer I use an iMac which is not yet updated to Mavericks and I'd rather not update for now. I recently bought a MBP retina which has Mavericks on it.
Whilst I was using the shared network to copy over some files to my new macbook I opening the iPhoto library off my iMac onto my MBP. Everything worked fine. However when I tried to open that library on my iMac it doesn't work. I just get a pop up saying:
The library “iPhoto Library” cannot be opened.
To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto.
Quit
I've tried updating but of course I cannot. I can't even double check what version of iPhoto I am running as everything is greyed out. When I go to the app store and click update I get:
Download an older version of this app?
The current version requires OS X 10.9 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.
When I download the older version it doesn't do anything unfortunately. Is there a way to get my iphoto library back on my iMac as there's a LOT of images on there that I need.
Thanks

You will need to restore your iPhoto Library from a back up of your iMac prior to when you opened it on your new MBP Retina.
The iPhoto app for OS X Mavericks upgrades the iPhoto Library DB and you can't go back. There should have been a message displayed when you first tried opening it from your MBP Retina warning you that the libary will be upgraded.
So, as long as you have a back up of the library prior to opening it with an OS X Mavericks Mac, you can continue using it with your iMac running OS X Mountain Lion. What this means is, until you upgrade your iMac to OS X Mavericks and the newer version of iPhoto, you will have to maintain 2 iPhoto Libraries and not share it.

RESTORE 'NUMBER OF ITEMS' AND 'SPACE AVAILABLE' IN OPEN WINDOW

something we seem to have lost in LION is the useful number of items and memory avail or used
at the bottom of windows/drive windows. any way to restore?

Open the Finder menu and set the options:
Finder -> View -> Show Status Bar
and
Finder -> View -> Show Path Bar
and you will see this information again

When I try to open downloads a new tab appears at the top of the screen and I can't open it.

I am currently unable to access any of the downloads I have. I just see a new tab at the top and I can't open it.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I have had nothing but trouble. How do I downgrade and not lose my bookmarks? Or just downgrade without uninstalling Firefox?

It won't load properly, freezes, crashes unexpectedly, won't pull up PDF files from web sites and has issues running with hotmail. I've used Firefox for years and have never had this kind of problem. How do I downgrade to an older version? The new version 4 is obviously not ready to run and is riddled with problems.

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

I have the "Bookmarks and history system will not be functional" problem and not FireFox will not open at all and my whole computer freezes if I try.

For a few weeks now, I've been getting the "Bookmarks and history system will not be functional..." message. When I clicked for more information, FireFox would freeze.
I found a solution about a new places database, but for the past few days I can't get FireFox to open at all. Then my whole system is frozen and I have to turn it off to get it going again, thus losing a lot of unsaved data.
How can I get FireFox back?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I save a picture that shows as a "Firefox Document" type as a jpg so that I can see the picture and not the code?

Many times, when I find a picture on Firefox, I want to save it to a file, but I'm offered the options of saving as a "Firefox Document" or "all files." Whatever I pick, when I try to open the picture, I only find code not the picture.

You are trying to download what you think is a picture, but are really code appearing as pictures on the page you are viewing.
This is often done to protect the copywrite of the picture.
If you right click the picture in question and the dialog box includes Save Image As then it is a picture you can download.

My new Firefox ver 29 always starts maximized how do i set the window size and not maximized?

I had reinstall my Windows 7 (win 7 pro 64bit)
so i had to reinstall firefox as well, installed ver 27 and updated it to version 29
now when i start firefox it will start maximized and i want to set the window size when it starts,
why the size of the window will not change and it will start maximized all the time?

# In Firefox, type ''about:support'' into the address bar and press Enter.
# Click the Show Folder button. A Windows Explorer window opens.
# Right-click the Firefox taskbar icon and choose either Close All Windows or Close Window.
# In the Windows Explorer window that opened earlier, delete the ''localstore.rdf'' file.
# If you have Firefox pinned to the taskbar, right-click the taskbar icon, then right-click the Firefox icon in the menu that pops up and choose Properties.
#* If you have a desktop shortcut, simply right-click it and choose Properties.
# Click the Shortcut tab in the Properties window.
# Make sure Run is set to "Normal window".

FF 20.0 now opens with tabs that I closed in previous sessions even when I close without checking the open tabs box. How to fix?

OS 10.7.5; FF 20.0

Firefox will automatically resume your previous session if it detects that it crashed. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot that on Mac, but you could check out the "Firefox hangs when you quit it" part of this article: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]].
You might also want to review your home page setting as some tabs might appear there that weren't intended to open every time you start Firefox:
Firefox > Preferences > General
