Firefox opens with sound effects which are unwanted

When I open firefox, sound effects start and continue until I shut it down

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to clear the cache:
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
You can also try to delete the files sessionstore.js and possible sessionstore-##.js with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Firefox opens with my wife's "My Yahoo" site

Firefox opens with my wife's "My Yahoo" site. This is a recent development. I have the Mozilla Firefox connection, not her. What can I do to get this straightened out?

Hello LeMerle,
What site do you wish Firefox to start up on?
If you want to start up Firefox on another website, you can surf to the website that you want to see when you launch Firefox, then click Tools on the top menu, choose Options, and make sure you are on the General Tab. You should see Homepage: with your wife's Yahoo link. Underneath that, click Use Current Page and you should see it change the launch link to your own preference, as long as you surfed to your own website first. (You can also just type it into this field).
If you want to use Yahoo, but want to be logged into your account, you can log out of your wife's account and log in to your own. If you set Firefox to remember your password it can log you in automatically. (It should already be set that way if it is logging you into your wife's account).
Hope this helps.

Firefox opens with different page.

Firefox opens with a different page, opens with a football icon and not the normal firefox icon.
This has only started today.

That is a feature of the default Firefox Homepage. Last week it was a simple video game.
Do this to get rid of that image and disable it from loading new images in the future.
# Type '''about:config''' into the address bar and press Enter.
# Accept the warning, by pressing the big button labeled "'I'll be careful, I promise!'".
# In the search box, paste '''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl'''
# In the search results, double-click '''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''' to open the '''''Enter String Value''''' dialog box.
# In the '''''Enter String Value''''' dialog, press the '''Delete''' key so that there's no text remaining, then press either Enter or the OK button. ''As a side-effect, only default tips will be displayed below the search box, because new ones won't be fetched from the web anymore.''
# Then type '''about:support''' into the Location Bar and press Enter.
# Click the '''Show Folder''' button. A Windows Explorer window with your Profile folder opens. In that window, open the ''storage'' folder, then the ''persistent'' subfolder.
# Then '''Exit Firefox''' with the Profile folder open.
# Delete the '''moz-safe-about+home''' folder.
# All fixed, you can open Firefox.

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up

Hi konee,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

# Move the mouse cursor inside the search box at the top right of the Firefox window and click the down arrow next to the provider's logo.
# From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.

How to create a report for open sales orde documents which are not invoiced

Hi Experts this is urgent,
+pls give the Logic for document flow+
My requirement is create a report for sales orders which are not invoiced using the following table.
VBAK : sales order header
VBAP : sales order item
VBFA : sales document flow
VBUK for processing status
KOMV for duties value and sales order value
LIKP : delivery not header
LIPS :delivery note item
For information : In the header level the processing Status is indicated in the table VBUK field LFSTK for one sales order number. A,B , C are the possible entries.
Case A : When a sales order is invoiced we can display information on the header status :
Overall status : Completed and display a invoice number in the document flow. When the items of the sales orders are invoiced the process status is the following : Overall status Completed
Delivery status Fully delivered
Case B : An open sales order not delivered and not invoiced will have overall status : Open on the header and item level and will not have subsequent documents.
Case C :
When the items for the sales order are delivered but not invoiced the status will be u201Cfully deliveredu201D
And the subsequent documents will be delivery notes and good issue if the delivery note is issued.
With regards
ravi

File associations (always open with...) are constantly reverted

Hi,
This sounds like a minor problem but is a major hassle on every workstation. We want to change file associations for all types like opening all .eps with illustrator instead of Preview.app and many others.
Our Workstations run Lion 10.7.1 and have Network Homes hosted on a Snow Leopard Server. Whenever the user changes the file associations (Get Info... dialogue) this change is reverted after a reboot. Strangely enough the new association is still in place if the user just logs out and back in again. There is no such problem with local users on the machines.
The com.apple.LaunchServices.plist where these settings are stored reflect changes made in the Get-Info dialogue. Upon reboot the Finder seems to ignore this settings file although it stays unchanged!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You should have used the unistaller rather than delete.
Try this may work.
Start >> Control Panel >> Double-click Default Programs.
Click Associate A File Type.
Select .ai from the list.
Click Change Program.
If your desired version of Illustrator is listed, choose, it. Otherwise, click Browse to locate it and click Open.
Ensure the "Always use the selected program..." option is selected. Click OK to close the Open With dialog box
If that dont work, use the Adobe unistaller, then reinstall.

Firefox does not open with the tabs I had open when I use the quit and save function. Firefox opens with my home page only. how to fix?

When I use the "Save and Quit" function it has no effect. The next time I open Firefox it goes to my home page only.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 3 days ago

This is not a solution, nor a work-around. The only thing this points out is where the problem lies. Settings are meant to be used in all sessions, barring exceptions and the fact that Firefox asks if you'd rather SAVE and then quit, makes it an exception. The user has elected to skip the clear browsing history step.
However, if the settings are permanently changed as you suggest, then the history will always be remembered for eternity when Firefox is closed. You then have to manually clear your history first at every session before closing.
Older versions of Firefox never behaved in such manner and recognized that the Save and Quit superseded the setting to Clear History.

TV STATIC WITH SOUND EFFECT

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 and I want to end a video with the effect of it looking like it goes to a TV screen of static with that sound. Is there any possible way to do that???

My first thought would be to tape an analog TV tuned to a channel with no signal. Otherwise, you could probably pull the Ant. connection and tape that.
For the Audio, if you do not get what you want (I'd use the Audio Out on the TV to the Audio In on the camera), you might look for on-line SFX sites. Here are a few:
http://www.stevengotz.com/audio.htm
http://www.findsounds.com/ISAPI/search.dll
http://www.freesound.org/index.php
http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/
http://www.ljudo.com/default.asp?lang=tEnglish&do=it
http://www.sounddogs.com/
http://www.soundsnap.com/
I'm also sure that there would be stock footage of the "static" on video, but think that your video camera would get exactly what you want, including the bezel, if needed.
Good luck,

Issue with sound effects preference output (no sound)

HI,
Weird issue, my macbook will play any music or sound except sound effects like moving items to the trash or when something is done copying to my external drive.
I checked the sound preferences and everything seems right.
My Sound Effects panel works and shows the list of sounds.
"Play alerts and sound effects through:" is there but that list is greyed out (maybe because only one option?). It does say internal speakers
My Output is through the internal speakers and works fine.
I thought the problem might have been an external pair of speakers I had used. I hooked them up and selected the internal speakers from the menu and then disconnected the speakers but still silence.
I like the audio feedback especially with multitasking. Since all other audio plays fine it's not the internal speaker.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Phillyman

HI Carolyn,
Thanks for your reply! The weird thing is that this is a brand new system (about a month old). On my other systems I do have some audio software but I've hardly touched this system. I'm pretty sure it once did give me audio feedback. All the boxes are checked in the sound effects panel (including the play user interface sound effects).
My other systems all have external speakers and I've been too lazy to crawl under the tables and disconnect them. But here my followup. If you have nothing connected is the sound effects through menu: greyed out if you only have one source? In my case it is and I think that has something to do with my problem.
thanks for any and all help,
Phillyman

Why does my new garageband 10.0.03 not have the legacy with sound effects or radio sound preset or applause preset???? I need these to be able to chop samples into the keyboard keys by dragging and dropping them into the keys.

I am just trying to chop samples and drop them into a track with legacy-sound effects- radio sounds, so that I can play with them and chop them onto keys. I see a bunch of videos on youtube showing you how to do it, but I can't find those kits on the newest garageband.

All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11). These loops are neither installed by GarageBand 10.0 or GarageBand '11, nor MacOs X, you need an iLife '11 installer disk to get these loops.
And GarageBand 10 also does not have the Sound Effects instruments any longer, that let you drag samples onto keys. It is one of the sorely missed features, that have been discontinued in the new version GarageBand 10. even if you install the previous version, GarageBAnd '11, to add the Sound effects instrument to GarageBand 10. it will not work properly, because GarageBand 10 will not save the custom instrument with the samples. You will have to complete your song in one session, without quitting GarageBand.
You may want to send feedback to the Apple Developers about these missing features with a feature request: Apple - GarageBand Mac- Feedback

Firefox opens with multiple instances

I asked this before. The problem has come back.
"Firefox is operating strangely. I recently updated to 5.0.
Now, I use FF with several add-ons, including Too Many Tabs. When I closed FF last night, there were 5 tabs, plus a total of 31 tabs in 7 TMT toolbars. I closed FF normally.
When I ran FF this morning, it opened over 20 instances of Firefox. All of them except the 'main' one had a little orange 'Firefox' at the upper left, and no toolbars, and the main one opened with a New Tab only -- that is, the 5 tabs that I had were lost.
I think that this is a FF 5 problem, as this happens every day, and I didn't have this problem before, but I don't remember when it started. I think it started when I updated to FF 5, which was recently.
Now, when I had the problem before, there were a whole bunch of sessionstore-##.js files in my profile folder. I deleted them (leaving the sessionstore.js itself), and the problem was solved -- for a few days.
Now it's happening again, FF5 opens with over twenty instances -- two or three more every day -- and loses the tabs it had when I last closed, but there is only the one sessionstore.js. I have read the file and it looks like it's OK, but I wouldn't really know.
The fix before was to delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. Is there anything else?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Upgraded Firefox is hanging. When Firefox opens none of the bookmakrs are available immediately. They hang for a monent. When opening up a window in an application (i.e., email address search) the window hangs.

When opening Firefox, the bookmarks hang for up to 30 seconds before they can be accessed. Also have a hanging issue when opening a window/pop-up within an application (i.e., email search window).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After automatic upgrade

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.

Firefox opens with "Unable to Connect. Uncheck 'Work Offline ' in the File Menu and click 'Try Again', but 'Work Offline' is not checked.

I have Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OS 10.4.11 with MyEbay set as my Home page but FireFox always gives the above message and invites me to 'Try Again'. When I click on 'Try Again' it takes me to the eBay sign in widow like it is supposed to. Firefox works properly for a few times after each update but eventually goes back to the "Unable to Connect" message. How can I fix Firefox to go to my Homepage?

Yes, I am using Firefox 3.6.16--but I also occasionaly use Mail and have Microsoft Enterouge, loaded also.
But I always open with Firefox.
