How do i change my back ground if my laptop freezes every time i open the display setting?
Every time i open my display setting to change my ground my laptop freezes and i have to force quit all my open things. Right now my background is just blue i didn't make it blue it just turned that way when this problem started to occur.
Check these two relatively recent threads related to MBP

Question
Firefox is trying to update my 8.0 version to 9.0.1. I'm not ready to do so because the Norton Toolbar is not yet compatable with the new Firefox release. How do I get firefox to stop trying to update every time I open the application?Swarnava wrote: '''''Firefox 9 is Compatible with Norton 2011, 2012, 360 v5'''''.
This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9". -
I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program. How to I resolve this?
Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver. -

Since upgrading to 4.0 every time I open my browser it keeps doing an add on compatibility check. How do I stop this? Every time it does a check it gets rid of my bookmarks and I have to reload them again, and it also takes me to the Firefox welcome page. How do I stop this as it's a pain in the neck. I hate 4.0 I'm going back to my last Firefox browser as I had very little trouble with it.
Make sure that you do not use the same profile with different Firefox versions.

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window
I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.
i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.
thanks. Alex Dove

I installed beta 4 last night. Now, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to make Firefox my default browser. I click yes, and it goes to Firefox 3.6.15 and thanks me for upgrading. I have been running 3.6.15 since it was released. I have to reload beta 4 to get back to it again.
I got this all screwed up too.
hmm.. where to start?
3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
But, I had to do it several times.
I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
I then did some registry cleaning.
Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
I can't open them both at the same time.
If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon. -
How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Thanks....''arcadiune [[#question-1052917|said]]''

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-) -
Every time I updated Firefox to something higher than 3.xxx, each time I open the browser, "Welcome to Firefox" and my home page opens up. How do I get "Welcome to Firefox" to stop opening? Also...all the colors are missing on the menu bar. All the text is white............Bill
Hi wbricki,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps! -
Since I installed 7.0.1, it has been nothing but trouble. It locks up frequently. Menu and add-on toolbar does not always load. FEBE does not recognize any previous backup, and wants to backup every time Firefox is opened, every time, even if I open multiple windows. The only way I could stop the FEBE popup was to schedule it to backup on browser shutdown or start up. Any scheduled option, including NO SCHEDULED BACKUP makes no difference. As soon as I open the browser the FEBE backup popup, pops up. I want a previous version back.
You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window. -
