Firefox turns off fullscreen mode after switching to another programme or desktop.

When i alt-tab or just switch to another programme or desktop from firefox in full screen, the full screen mode is turned off.

I also ran across another work around today:
It looks like there was an about:config entry that was created, but is no longer in the current build. It may be possible to create a new entry and add it back:

Made via: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724554 bug 724554]
Please be warned that this will change the default of your installation, but I do not know how this will affect other functionalities of the browser.

  • Can't turn off Verbose Mode after running disk defrag in minimal environment using Drive Genius 3

    New to posting on here. I'm using a
    Mid-2009 15in MacBook Pro
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB memory
    After running Disk Defrag in a minimal environment using Drive Genius 3 my MacBook Pro only starts up in Verbose Mode.
    I've done my searching on how to turn verbose mode on and off on the web and it gets me nowhere.
    Using
         sudo nvram –p
    in terminal shows that there is no " v" after " boot-args "
    Using
         sudo nvram boot-args=
    to turn it off hasn't done anything.

    I'm having the same issue but the solution suggested by prosoft doesn't work because that file des not exist.
    Prosoft was able to help me.
    First, FileVault is not reccomended and they are adding a FAQ to address that.  Next, they said to trash this file:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
    and to restart.  It seemed to have worked for me.
    If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be grateful.
    Many Thanks.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

    Thank you for all of your answer.

    I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
    You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How do I turn off compatibility mode for iTunes?

    Recently computer keeps on telling me to turn off compatibility mode.
    I have tried looking at previous answers but cant find what the instructions tell me. I get as far as opening the itumes folder and then it says right click on the itune ort itunes .exe . I can see lots of files. when i click on the one that says itunes it actually opens up itunes and cant see one that says itunes.exe. thx.

    I think I have found a way to do it.
    Go to start button
    Type into search programs and files
    itunes
    right click
    the compatibility tab then appears and can be switched off.

  • HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

    How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

    To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

    Make sure that you do not press the Shift key if you start Firefox.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

  • ICloud Backup failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.

    iCloud Backup Failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.  Airplane mode is turned off and I am connected to wi-fi but still I can't backup.  What do I do now?

    Hi Barbara,
    I just had the same issue.
    resolution:
    get to your network settings - disable wifi, then enable 3G and cellular connection
    Now get back to icloud backup menu and try to enable. of course it wont work. back again to network settings switch wifi back on, and got to icloud again. This time it will allow you to set your backup
    cheers :-)

  • Turn off NAP mode, Intel processor

    Hey, all. I just bought an audio interface for recording audio, but when I hook it up via firewire, I hear a distinct audio whine. After doing some research, other people have had this problem and say that the solution is to download the CHUD utilities and then turn off NAP mode. Like this: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=208800&d=1157836 667 .
    However, I downloaded CHUD and when I go to the Processor pane, it looks exactly like that screenshot, except without the "Allow Nap" option.
    I've also tried using terminal and the command "hwprefs cpu_nap=false", but I get the response "ERROR: nap not supported by this processor type."
    I've heard that Intel chips don't run that way. I've got a Macbook with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Does anybody know how to do this with that setup?

    There is a forum devoted to Logic Pro you might want to ask there.

  • My iPhone 3gs backed up to the iCloud just fine, but my new iPhone 5 gives me an error and says to turn off airplane mode or use wi-fi.  It is connected to my wi-fi and airplane mode is off.  It can see the internet just fine.  What gives?

    I backed up my iPhone 3GS to iCloud.  Activated my iPhone 5 and restored it from iCloud.  But iPhone 5 will not backup to iCloud, only to my MacBook.  When I try to turn it on on the phone it gives me an error that I must turn on Wi-Fi or turn off Airplane mode.  Wi-Fi is on an the phone is talking to the internet just fine and airplane mode is off, but I still get the error. Is this a known problem?

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?
