HD icon moving to the very right top corner of the screen after startup...

Hi everybody,
this is apparently an old problem in Mac OSX (I have found only very old posts) that should have been resolved already. It happened to me sometimes that, after startup, the HDD icon, which is normally on my right top corner, moves by itself to the very top right corner almost behind the upper bar (almost at behind the magnifying glass of spotlight). In the finder preferences I have forced the snap to the grid option a long time ago and it seemed to have solved the issue but not! it is not the case.
I have the feeling that this happens at some starts (not the very first one) after making ONYX maintenance but I am not sure of that.
May you please tell me if other people have already encountered a similar problem?
It is not a virus or malware, is it?
Cheers

It is not a virus or malware, is it?
oh, please don't even mention viruses. there aren't any OS X viruses and what's happening to you is decidedly not a virus or a malware. you have a minor corruption of finder preferences or of the desktop DS_Store file.
reset your finder preferences. delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. then control-option-click on finder in the dock and choose "relaunch". next close all finder windows, and delete ALL .DS_Store files on your hard drive using ONYX http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
start ONYX, go to maintenance->rebuild and delete .DS_Store files. then restart and set up your desktop as you want. it should stay put from now on.
Cheers

Lost my star(BOOKMARK) in the upper right had corner by the download arrow

OI have lost my bookmark stay ( shortcut icon) in the upper right hand corner by the download arrow and I do not know how to get it back
Also when in my email and I want to open an attachment it goes right to down loads and does not open when I double click on it. It worked yesterday!
Very frustrated

You've already started [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/995288 a thread about the first issue]. As I said,
The Bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar? Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize. Drag it from the customization palette onto the toolbar. You can also click the Restore Default Set button to discard your toolbar customizations.
* [[Navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks and reload are missing]]
If you want to be prompted where to save files,
# Under '''[[Startup, home page and download settings|Options - General]]''', select "Always ask me where to save files"
# Under '''[[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file|Options - Applications]]''', set the file type in question to "Always ask"
Double-clicking isn't used anywhere in the Firefox interface. If you want to open a recently downloaded file, click the Download button on the navigation toolbar, then the file in question. Does that not work?

How do I move Start from the upper right-hand corner of the screen to bottom left of screen?

For some reason, I accidentally hit a button which moved my Microsoft Start button to the upper right hand corner of the screen. I would prefer the Start button to be in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Please advise.
Thank you.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. The Start button is a part of the WinXP operating system. <br />

When I open an email, my computer won't go to the link listed, or when I am doing research the same thing, then I see a ALLOW in the upper right hand corner of the screen and I have to click on that. What happened and how do I fix this?

Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Why does Firefox start small in the upper right hand corner of the screen?

Using Firefox 35.0.1 (latest). Now when I open a FF browser, it starts small in the upper right hand corner of the screen. How do I get it open larger in the center?

You may have a corrupt '''xulstore.json''' file.

No. That would not be a manufacturing defect. Any repair costs will be bourne by you.

In the lower right hand corner of the screen, how do I stop the download window from poping up each time I download something?

In the lower right hand corner of my screen, everytime I download, a download window pops up, that scans what I downloaded for a virus then gives me a message that says download is complete. How do I disable that feature?.

To turn off the alert you can change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
# If you want to stop Firefox requesting a virus scan, double click on the preference '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to change its value to '''false'''

Go to Tools, Add-ons and disable "Panda Security Toolbar 2.0"

In the upper-right hand corner of the screen, the "Restore Down" button doesn't restore down. How do I fix this?

In the upper right-hand corner of the screen (where the red X is), the middle button "Maximize" doesn't reduce the screen size when I click on it. How do I get this to work normally?

What is the red button... "IHELP" surrounded by blue, green, red and yellow in the lower right hand corner of the browser window all about?

What is the purpose of the red button... "IHELP" in the lower right hand corner of the browser window? Does it have any purpose? If so what? When clicked on there is no response.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

No such button exists by default. It sounds like some extension installed in your Firefox, view/disable them from Tools -> Add-ons, '''Extensions'''

What is the little Firefox instance peeking in on the lower right-hand corner of the desktop?

When I try to minimize the Firefox Window it goes into a cycle of minimizing and reopening. This will not stop until I close that little instance mostly off-screen in the lower right-hand corner.
The toolbar at the bottom of the desktop shows two instances of Firefox. When the main instance is in this cycling mode (about one cycle per second) I can use the toolbar to select the off-screen instance and close it. Then the cycling stops.

No need to post twice - see my answer at your first (or second?) question...

HT5544 I have tried to delete Purcased Books from IBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. They have the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of the book cover

I have tried to delete Purchased Books in iBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. The books show a cloud icon in the upper right corner. How can I delete them?

The cloud icon means that they are only in the cloud, they aren't currently stored on your iPad, so there isn't anything to delete. You can turn off the showing of the books that are in the cloud via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

All of a sudden my volumn and battery indicators have disappeared in the lower right hand corner of my screen.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/780401 ''
When I go to control panel/appearance/taskbar and start menu properties/notification area -----the volume and power options are grayed out. AND I have no power or battery system icons in the taskbar.
How can I fix this. I do not recall doing anything to make those two icons go away!

I'll repeat,
Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad.
Select your iPad in the left column of iTunes on your computer.
In the right column of iTunes on your computer select the Movies tab.
Select items to add to your iPad, deselect items you want deleted from your iPad.
Then tap Apply in the lower right corner of the right column of iTunes on your computer.
Your iPad will sync and make the additions and detentions you specified.
Note that if you do not select anything to add or deselect anything to delete the Apply button is not required and will not appear.
