    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> 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 History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
    4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
    -> '''REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES'''
    -> '''When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> 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
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox

  • I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. After upgrading to Firefox 9 when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar.

    * Installed Firefox 9
    * I am running Windows 7 64-bit
    * I have Firefox pinned to the task bar.
    * When Firefox opens, there is a new icon that opens up on the task bar. Normally, Firefox would open within the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
    * When I close Firefox, the extra icon goes away.
    * Firefox is acting like the icon that is pinned to the task bar is not even there.

    Before attempting the steps below, I would highly suggest you visit the latest known issues for the current version, specifically FF 9 release notes.
    See:
    [[Latest Firefox issues]]
    1. Unpin the old firefox icon
    2. Go to c:\Program File (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
    3. Double click on "firefox.exe" (FF window & icon will appear in supertaskbar)
    4. Pin this new icon by right clicking > Pin to Taskbar (Firefox Icon turns into whitebox)
    5. Make sure that you see the hidden folders
    [[windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files]]
    6. Go to C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local
    7. Delete "IconCache.db"
    8. Open the taskmanager
    9. Kill explorer.exe by clicking on End Process
    10. In the taskmanager, File -> New Task (Run...) --> write "explorer.exe" without the quotation mark, press ok

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Why aren't bridge or minibridge pinned to the task bar in CS6?

    CS5 had bridge and minibridge pinned to the task bar. CS6 doesn't. Is there a way to do that?

    The Application Bar was removed after photoshop cs5, but you could use Configurator
    to make a panel with the relevant buttons.

    See also this article about caret browsing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled 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.

    This is iweb development where after publishing, things look different in IE than other browsers. U r correct that this is due to IE software but is iWeb related. After all, one uses iweb not to just publish in Safari but for all browsers.

    Hi
    Just to clarify what your saying under menu > settings > Connectivity the only option you can see is Bluetooth? There are no other options to select?
    Because under the connectivity menu you should be able to Network, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, Settings, Connection manager, Mobile data tracker, Data Transfer, Video sharing, Admin settings and play via radio.
    All the options should be visible on the connectivity menu on a N8 with Nokia Belle installed.

  • I have a problem with the external sound of my ipod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    - Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    - Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
    - Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
    If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

  • No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service gain and when it does open my settings have all been changed.  why is it doing this and how can I satop it?  reinstalling does not fix it.

    No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service again and when it does open my settings have all been changed.  Why is it doing this and how can I stop it?  Reinstalling/repairing does not fix it.

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
    Or a repair install of iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel might fix the problem.

  • IMac 20-inch on OSX 10.7.4 running iphoto 11, my photos from my iphoto library have been deleted. I have time machine but the iphoto library file is missing when I access time machine, help please.

    I have an imac 20-inch Late 2006 model on OSX 10.7.4 running iphoto 11, somehow the application ccleaner has deleted my photos from my iphoto library. I have time machine but the iphoto library file is missing when I access time machine.
    To restore photos I have followed the steps below
    Quit iPhoto.
    Connect your Time Machine drive.
    In the Finder, open the folder containing your iPhoto Library. Unless you've moved your iPhoto Library, it can be found in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library.
    Enter Time Machine.  (Time Machine can be found in the Dock or in the /Applications folder.)
    Choose your desired backup. The timeline on the right side of the screen displays a purple tick mark for each of the backups stored on your Time Machine drive.
    Select the iPhoto library you would like to restore, and click the Restore button.
    I dont get the option in step 6 as I dont have an iphoto library file to choose? Does anyone know why?

    Hi Barry
    Thanks but as mentioned all is intact, even at step 3 I can see the current library in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library which has no photos, but when I access time machine any point before the NOW option the iphoto library in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library is missing from the finder window. 
    As you can see here it is
    and now its gone. I have no explanantion.
    How do I go about moving this question as you suggested.
