Even though I have "open with my home page" checked in options, firefox intermittently opens with the last page viewed.

Hi prym8t,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

When I send e-mails from my iPad the wrong last name appears, even though I have updated my Apple details. How can I correct this ?

When I send e mails from my iPad my previous last name still appears, even though I have changed it on my Apple a/c.
How can I correct this, please ?

Try this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

On a page with both English & French bird names, character like e with an accent show up as a diamond with a question mark, even though I have English & French as a language option. Same for 2 of these . This is just recent.

No problems here on that page: Gélinotte huppée
The server doesn't seem to send an encoding, so make sure that you have selected Western (ISO-8859-1) on that page if that isn't your default encoding. 
You can also try: View > Character Encoding > Auto-Detect > Universal

Firefox automatically opens on closed tabs even though i have "open on homepage" enabled

Every time i close firefox the tabs i have open are saved and opened when i start firefox next time. Very annoying since i have FF set to open on homepage.

Make sure that you close Firefox properly to prevent session restore from opening a possibly crashed session.

I can't open pdf files in browser, even though I have installed an add-on.

I downloaded the cloud viewer add-on for Firefox on my tablet. I am running Android 4 (ICS). I need to be able to open PDF files directly in the browser window, as the site will not allow me to download the files and open in an independant viewer. Is there any way to do this in Firefox?

I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

My Firefox cannot display non-English characters, even though I have tried every language encoding I have!

I am a big fan of Japanese songs and websites, so I was very disappointed when I saw that Firefox could not handle any non-English characters. I have tried every encoding I can, but none work and I just see boxes with numbers and letters inside. I have only just got this older laptop for my birthday - my old laptop which ran Windows Vista and had Firefox 4 had no trouble at all. Please help me!

hello muoshui, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''network.http.accept-encoding''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
if this does not resolve the issue already, please also go through the steps offered at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

Trying to download just ONE audiobook... it downloaded them all! even though I have "selected" and just the one checked -- help!

i downloaded the iTunes update to 11.1. Normally I just download one audio boo to my iPhone (5) at one time, this time, even though I had "selected audiobooks" checked and just the one audio book checked, it downloaded all of them. That's taking up almost a gig of space on my 16G phone. Before I realized it was trying to download every book, i deleted about 500 pictures (okay, I really needed to delete them anyway...) along with a bunch of apps I never use, to make room for what I thought was just the one new book I purchased.... is there a fix for this?

Hi!
This could be done in many ways so it's quite hard to pin point what's going on and how it's done.
The first thing I would do is to reset the the router you have, creating a new password for loging on in case they have gained access this way, then create a new password for the wireless network if you are using it.
Then reinstall your computer, if they/you have installed some software and gotten a Trojan, the only way to get rid of it to 100% is to reinstall. There is no meaning in trying to find it and uninstalling it since it's gotten this far allready.
Depending on what router you have, you might be able to get the logs and see from where they are connecting and trying to pinpoint their location.
There are probably other ways to find out more, but if this happened to me, the first thing I would do is to get rid of the problem, ignoring who they are.

Even though I have WiFi connections at home, I can't get emails, nor surf the web... I am using my IMac connected at the same network and it is working right now

Even though I am ahving WiFi connections at my home, and I have been using the same network for a while, I can't get my IPad connected. The net is working fine as I am using my IMac linked at the same WiFi connection. I already run the reset the network process. Nothing hapenned.

Can I assume that you have connected to your home WiFi network in the past with your iPad? If you have, did you try any really basic troubleshooting steps like restart the iPad or reboot it?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How do I delete a toolbar that was added by a plugin? Plug-in's been uninstalled, but the toolbar is still there and any new tabs open on their search engine (even though I have Tab Mix set to open tabs on a duplicate page). Help?

Running Firefox on Windows XP3. I installed a plugin from Savevid.com, which they now require. (I've used that site for at least a year with no problem ever.) Everything was fine but it added a toolbar to my browser, and it seems to have reset Firefox somehow so that any new tab opens on "Searchqu", some low-rent search engine. I uninstalled the plug-in altogether, but the toolbar is still there, and I can't make the reset on the search engine go away. I use Tab Mix Plus (also never had this problem before with it), but no matter what I do, the tabs will not open to anything other than searchqu. (Tab Mix has the option to open to a duplicate tab - what it was using BEFORE all this - but changing that no longer has any effect.)
Anyone know how to deal with a problem like this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Cant open pages document in newest version of the program (says to open in the newest version even though I have updated it)?

After update to yosemite, I can't open some of my pages documents in the latest version of pages - when I try to open the documents, it says to update to the latest version but I have already done this? Any suggestions on how to solve this?

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot the problem?
Did you reboot your router at home - unplug if from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
Did you try Forgetting the Network and try to Rejoin? Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your network name>Forget this Network. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name, enter your password and the tap Join.
Did you try Resetting Network Settings? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings and start all over again?

Why is it that even though I have "stack with original" checked my images get put into other stacks?

It messes up my timeline for any wedding or event I shoot! Very annoying.

I absolutely know it's my fault-but it's weird to be because it stacks correctly for some folders and then not for others. I do like to have them organized by capture time. They are all NEF (raw) files. With some images I will 'Ctrl E' to export in to PS to a little editing and then when Im done I will 'X' the photo and it saves back into lightroom-normally right next to the raw image that I started with. But sometimes it takes the photo to the middle or the end of the strip of photos at the bottom of my screen. I try stacking, auto stacking by capture time and I can't get them to get back in the original order I uploaded them into lightroom as. This last set of images it created 5 stacks when I clicked auto stack by capture time. Is it something I can change when I'm shooting? I appreciate any help/ advise you can give me! I'm sure it's something in my settings that got messed up when I upgraded, but just not sure what-and I think I've looked at too long to be helpful to myself!!
Thanks again!

I'm a bit hard of hearing, and I can't get Firefox to boost the volume adequately, even though I have set all volume controls to maximum. Please fix.

I can't get the volume loud enough, despite setting all controls for maximum volume.
I'm using Windows XP, and a high-end computer/monitor/speaker. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1
I figure you guys are all young, and your hearing is still good, so you don't understand us older folks.

Got the same problem. It seems it is happening all over the place with the i-tunes update.

I have Windows XP. Firefox updated to version 6 automatically even though I have it set to notify and ask. Also just automatically updated again. How can I stop this?

I have Firefox set to automatically look for updates then ask if I want to install them. I do this when convenient (may also need to restrict downloads on another machine when paying for Internet use by amount downloaded) Until recently it did just this. Firtefox 6 seems to have downloaded & installed (& lost all passwords & cookies) I assumed this happened when someone else was using the machine & said yes. It has now automatically downloaded the latest update automatically and the settings are still set to ask me first. What has happened & how can I stop it please?

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click '''Exceptions...''' button -> type the addresses of the websites from which you want to Allow Cookies to be stored e.g. '''login.live.com''' , '''hotmail.com''' , '''live.com''' , '''msn.com''' -> click '''Allow''' for each, one by one 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> '''Keep Until : select''' '''They Expire'''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

I have recently had to install itunes and it won't sync with my iphone 4s even though I have signed in to my apple id, how can I fix this?

My laptop needed wiping and rebuilding. I built it up and re downloaded itunes. However it will not sync with my iphone. I have re logged into my apple id on the itunes but still no sync is happening. I don't want to erase all of the songs on my iphone as I have a fair few albums. Is there anyway I can solve the sync issue without wiping all of my existing apps and music?

It is not devices, it is computers only. You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
The computer you are using is not activated with your iTunes account with iTunes? If not, is a computer available that is activated with your iTunes account? You can deactivate all computers from one computer that is activated following by activating the computer you are using now.
