Home page won't load on start up it goes to the last page it was on before the shut down.
It started just recently where I exit FIrefox and then restart it either after the computer has rebooted or closed by accident, it always brings back the tabs and pages I was on at the time of shut down. I have looked on here and tried what others have been told and nothing worked. I would like to not have to uninstall firefox but I will if I have too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Started again.Try restoring your phone as a "new" device in iTunes, not from backup. When finished, eject your phone. Do not sync any content back to your phone. How are things working now? If OK, sync your content back to your phone. If not, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware issue.

When I start the CC app on my PC (Windows 7, 64 bit), the home screen won't load. The activity indicator just sits there and spins. It worked before, but not for the last few days. The other screens work just fine. Any ideas?

My 4th gen iPod won't turn on, just plays the shutting down screen forever
I have a 4th gen ipod, 8gb, and it hasn't really given me problems until the past few days, it's been crashing constantly and freezing. Now it has shut down and when I turn it on it is just stuck on the shutting down screen. I've tried holding down home and power, it shuts off, then just turns right back on and does the same thing. I drained the battery, and it showed the normal screen for being dead, then when I plug it in, it starts up with the shut down screen again. Something similar happened to one of my friends so she just wrote it off as being "completely dead" and gave up. (But I don't want to just give it up because basically my only pictures of my cat that passed away are on it, and I don't have iCloud) Also, I thought maybe it was because my version was 5.1.1, I never updated because I didn't want the youtube app to be gone. Is there anything left I can try or is it completely done for?
I had the exact same problem with my ipod and the way i got out of it was i connected it to my pc - mac works too.- then when it turn on i held only the power button for about 10-60 seconds until it finally shutoff then i basically put it in dfu mode ( if you don't already know what it is and how to do it i will explain that after) and my pc recconized it in dfu mode and after waiting about 5 min unplug from your pc or mac and if it doesnt already show the power screen on then turn it on and it should work if it just goes to recovery mode then repeat the steps for putting it in dfu mode just without pluging it in.
Here's how to put it in DFU mode. First just hold the power and home screen botton for 10 seconds or until you see it flash. Next you let go of the HOME BOTTON ONLY while still holding the power botton down for a good 20-25 seconds then you can let go and your done! *Note: if you have it plug in to a pc or mac you will also see something saying your pc/mac is recognizing your ipod in DFU mode.
Hope it helps with your problem! (^∇^) -
When I am in Gmail or most other sites, when I type it automatically goes to the address bar. For example, in Gmail, I will click reply, and the cursor starts flashing in the message box. However, when I start typing, it goes into the address bar instead. When I am on another website (for example I am on my library website), i place my cursor in a field, start typing, and again it goes in the address bar. I have tried disabling the add-on, but it doesn't appear in the list of add-ons. When I search, I have the option of installing, as if I don't already have it. Any suggestions would be helpful!
Hi,
There are a few keyboard shortcuts that jumps to the awesome (location) bar. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Keyboard+shortcuts#w_miscellaneous this]. You can try to check if any keys are stuck.
If keyboard problems can be ruled out, you can also Reset Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?
This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6. -

My ipod touch won't recharge after I let it run all the way down. It shows an empty battery with a tiny bit of red, and a spiky unblinking circle on the batery. I can't turn it off or slide the slider. I tried to charge it for 8 hours and nothing.

I have tried to set my homepage to a specific website. However, whenever I open a new Safari window, it always returns to the last page I was at before I closed Safari. Any ideas? I did this under Safari preferences, open new window to homepage...
Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

I downloaded the OS X on my air and I can't use my keyboard and it won't let me restart my computer because it says that the application assistant canceled the shut down, I don't know what to do
When all else fails (it sounds like it has) hold the power button for about 10 seconds. This shuts down the computer. Then tap it to restart. Since it sounds like the OS upgrade began but then failed to perform a restart you may find that the Install Mavericks file is still in the Applications folder and you can try again. Or you might find that you have to redownload. I don't think the installation is going to proceed as if the computer had successfully restarted but I could be wrong (and in this case gladly so for your sake.)
