How can I stop the "Welcome to Firefox" page appearing before my default page everytime I access Firefox
Every time I access Firefox (my preferred browser) the "Welcome to Firefox" page pops up rather than my default page (Google). This started when I upgraded to the latest Firefox. I have had a good look but can see no way to prevent this. I have locked in my default page but Firefox seems to over ride this. I like to have control over my computer rather than dealing with pop up pages determined by others. Can you assist please?

I had this problem by updating to the new version through the help/about Firefox update feature. The '''ONLY''' way I found to resolve this was to totally uninstall the previous version of Firefox including all cookies and traces of Firefox. I backed up my cookies and bookmarks first of course... then, uninstalled and reinstalled the new 9.0 version with a fresh downloaded version of the new Firefox and the problem was '''ABSOLUTELY RESOLVED'''. The other methods of going to tools / options and setting the home page etc. just didn't work at all. THIS WORKED!

How can I stop the Add-on Bar from appearing everytime a new tab or window is opened?
I close it each time, and I have also removed it by unchecking it in the toolbar (or similar) menu. However, it always reappears whenever I open a new tab or re-open Firefox. How can I get rid of it unless I choose for it to become present again?
Right-click the "+" tab and deselect the Add-on Bar entry tick. The Add-on Bar should then disappear for the remainder of the session but will reappear when you restart Firefox. If you want to permanently remove the Add-on Bar then a different approach must be used, using a modified userChrome.css file.

this yellow bar appears constantly while I am using the internet. It says" LastPass was unable to contact the login server, etc., etc."
It is very annoying, and causes my screen to jump about when it is being active.
I am using windows 7 on a HP desktop.hello Larryrush, please contact lastpass's support about this issue - they can likely give you better advice and are the only people who can resolve server errors in their network.

Well then you can not remove something that obviously has been removed
Did you remove the references in the iPhoto preferences? Did this eliminate the problem? If so then you are done and your problem has been

Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
Who knows these tricks?iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera. Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!
If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
Delete the <b>storage\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets. -
My mac book air e-mail is trying to upgrade but it has frozen. How can I stop the upgrade as I cannot open my e-mail?
This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy
An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want. -
When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?
In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.
