Flash quits when you close the window

Why does Flash CS5 quit when you close the window you were working in? It has to restart every time you close and open a file.

This doesn't seem to be a crashing issue. The program seems to be designed like Windows, wherein the application quits when you close the last open window. This is incredibly annoying and completely unacceptable.

Confirmation from Safari when you close a window on Mavericks

Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to have like a little warning from Safari when we quit a window on this application. For example: Are you sure you want to quit this window?". Firefox has this application when you close a window with several tabs.
I looked in the preferences, but i haven't found it. I know this kind of warning was present on the elder versions of Safari, so why not now?
Hope you can help,
Tim
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) and the Safari 7.0.2

Actually, you're right. After a little investigation, it was the way I was using the gui that was making this happen. During debuging (using Netbeans) I would open the dialog window then click on netbeans to check the console for a couple System.out.println()'s I put in the code. Then on closing the Dialog window Netbeans would be the next window selected by the OS and would appear over the original JFrame. D'oh! Just sillyness on my part imagining problems for myself.
I guess what I was looking for was that when I close the dialog window that the OS would focus to the parent JFrame instead of the previously viewed application.
Thanks!

I have my FireFox browser set to delete the history when I close the window. It was working for a while and has recently just stopped with no changes to the settings.

I have my FireFox browser set to delete all the history when I close the window. It was working for a very long time and has recently stopped with no changes to the settings. This has happened once before and I deleted FireFox and re-downloaded it, that solved the problem for a short period of time but the issue has come up again. How can I fix this?

Can you check your configuration again? Maybe something went pear-shaped somewhere. It's located in Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the Settings button (see screenshot).

When i close the window if press pressed next to the closure and returned again press not work

Please expand upon your question with more detail. You can also post in your native language if English is a difficulty.

Get rid of message: "If you close the window, your changes will be lost..."

Whenever I enter text, then close the window, I get the message, "if you close the window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close the window anyway?"
Yes, I do want to close the window, and I want to get rid of this message from popping up. Can't find it anywhere in Safari. Please help me out. Please, how do you configure Safari so this message will not pop up?

HI David,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still see that dialog...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Firefox will close when i close the window but the process doesn't shutdown ever since i had updated to FF25

I am running Win. 8.1 and had no issues with FF 24. Since upgrading to FF 25, firefox will appear closed when i close the window but the process doesn't shutdown. I have to go into Task Manager to end the process. I can then launch it again.

SOLUTION (possible).
Hi all. I had this problem as well. I currently run FF26. A week or so ago, out of nowhere FF wouldn't exit - the window would close but firefox.exe process would keep running in the background using about 50% of CPU. Not sure if it's connected, but just prior to that I clicked on a link on Facebook that looked like spam website, nothing happened, site loaded (sort of, all I saw was a msg - Please Wait...) but nothing happened, I have Eset antivirus and it monitors network traffic and files for viruses, so maybe it prevented my PC getting infected...
So, I had this problem for a few days, was searching the net for solutions, but nothing seem to help. Then, just out of luck I did something that WORKED!
Here's what I did. I noticed that svchost.exe was using a lot of CPU alongside with FF. I ran ProcessExplorer to see what might be connected to this process, the list was long and I didn't have any idea where to start, so what I did was - Right click on svchost process, choose Debug and dismiss the warning. In a few seconds svchost process quit and after that FF started closing properly.
I had to re-enable all my plugins and themes I disabled prior, I also lost my history and preferences which I trashed in the process of searching for solution. But heck, it worked, hopefully for good. Now if someone could point out the real cause of this and fix it for everyone - that would be great. Cheers!

Executables throw a widows error when you close the application

I have this problem on several of my labview executables. I can open and runt eh program with no errors. But when I close the program by any method, I get a pop up error in windows. Stating:
"Application Name" has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I get the option to send the info to Microsoft. Another error pops up Stating the following:
WinsockAsyncSelectWindow: Application name.exe - application error
The instruction at "0x7c90e470" referenced memory at "0x03182a2c". The memory could not be "read". Click on CANCEL to debug the program.
This is really annoying... Anyone know why this error is poping up?

Hi Jason,
Could you please provide us with some more information regarding your executable?
What version of LV are you using?
How are you stopping the executable (stop button? abort button?) You should always use a stop button, not the abort button (the stop sign looking glyph on the toolbar) to ensure that all of your references have been properly closed.
Do you see this performance when running the executable on the development machine?
Do you get the warning every time, or only some of the time?
What all are you doing in the executable? I'd be curious to know if it was something particular to your code or the environment. One way to test this is to build a "dummy" executable--just one that does something as simple as count iterations, and see if you get the message or not.
Please provide a little more information and we'll do our best to help.

Very annoying that the browser close when you close the tab !

I have been using Opera browser for years now, and I could close all tabs without closing the browser, so why is Firefox made so it Closes the browser when the last tab is closed ?, it is soooooo very much annoying !

Hello DKfire,
You can use this addon :

Customizable button behavior:
- Open a blank tab or Speed Dial / Fast Dial
- Open the home page
- Close the window''

Firefox 6.02 will not save my privacy settings (Use Custom Settings) when I close the window

I am trying to set up my preferences in Google and it tells me that my cookies are not enabled. I open the Firefox 6 Preferences / Privacy window and select the Custom Settings option, to enable third party cookies. When I close the screen the setting is not saved. I am using Firefox 6.02 with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I took the check mark out of the "Remember Download History" box and closed the screen. It saved the privacy settings.

I have Firefox for U3 and lately it keeps trying to instal an update, which fails and a 2nd window tells me another copy of F'fox is running (which isn't) and when I close the window F'fox starts anyway, but all this takes a lot of time.

I have Firefox for U3 on my Verbatim stick to run on whatever computer I happen to be using. Lately every time I try to open F'fox a window comes up saying "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments." The status bar indicates the update is progressing, 'though a bit slowly, then suddenly it's done and the window disappears, only to be followed by another window coming up which says "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on you computer and then re-start Firefox to try again."
If I press the 'OK' button OR press the Close button, the window disappears, but then F'fox starts up all by itself anyway.
How can I stop this updating problem happening every time and on every computer I use.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.
Filter: gfx
Some to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
* set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Pop up screen needed when i close the window

thanks in advance.......

Hey ...I got a better script ...
<BODY onbeforeunload="HandleOnClose()">
Then, add the following JavaScript code into the <HEAD> section of your ASPX page:
<script language="javascript">

</script>
But do read about this from the following link

Even though I set "Use custom settings for history" when I close the window and recheck it has set itself back to "Rember History"..why?

I am having trouble getting the settings to stay and can't figure out why...no matter what I do it just resets every time back to the
"Remember History" and it won't save passwords on some of my sites.

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" choice if all the history and cookie setting are the default. 
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected. 
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab. 
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes. 
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Why does firefox "close" when I close the window but the process doesn't shutdown even with the upgrades since problem was reported.since i had updated to FF25

Frequently after I have been viewing numerous sites on firefox, when I close down the last window and try to reopen firefox, I am told that the program is already running and needs to be shut down. Using Task Manager is not useful, since task manager doesn't show the program as up and running. The only way to get the program to close so it can be used for a different subject is to reboot the computer. This is happening 10 - 12 times a week now, and gradually getting worse. This closes out everything I have open, making it necessary to save all opened files BEFORE I reboot, and then going back to reopen all of them. None of the other questions I've seem point to this particular quirk in the problem.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
'''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}
From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.

When you use the Windows Media Sync to down load music from the PC to the Razr?

What folder is the music stored in? I can see the music on my phone under My Music but I cannot see it on the V CAST Media Manager.

It really depends on how you got the music on there in the first place. Usually, I think, it goes into a music folder. Also, make sure to check both the SD card and internal storage.
