How do I fix add-on welcome pages that keep reappearing?

This has been happening to me in version 32. The pages reappear every time I restart Firefox. I kill them, re-start the browser, and it happens again. Searching around the web for a fix, someone suggested restoring Firefox to its defaults. Did that, and it worked, but the problem eventually recurs, after I began customizing the browser again. I have the program set for fairly high security. I also have it set to reload my tabs from the previous session, but this gets changed to "show my homepage" without my action, and the welcome pages line up in tabs once again. Clearing history failed; checking for viruses proved negative.

Hello,
I had this problem in older versions of Firefox - for some reason they kept appearing until I quit Firefox from the menu. First make sure that your start-up settings aren't set to load the previous session:
* Tools (or menu [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
Then exit Firefox from the menu:
* File > Exit, or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > Exit Firefox (bottom right-most icon)
Start Firefox again and hopefully they won't pop up again until the next update. If your preferences are not getting saved, see if the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] can provide some more help on that.

    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 :-)

  • How to i fix the blank pdf pages I keep getting?

    Nothing loads when I try to follow a website and open a .pdf . I made sure safari, and all my adobe is updated. I checked under security in Safari then opened manage website settings. I found the following  error "Adobe Flash Player" is set to run in unsafe mode for some websites the same is for Adobe Reader. I try to change the settings to allow but it keeps the error message and won't open anything for me. How can I fix this? I've already uninstalled all my adobe stuff and reinstalled it, reset Safari ect but none of these things work. Thanks.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

    gurus,
    i'm using -
    Oracle 9i Database
    Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
    QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
    i did the following to achieve this -
    1. logged into portal
    2. clicked on builder
    3. clicked on administer tab
    4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
    5. went to the preferences tab
    6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
    7. logged out of portal
    8. open a new browsere session
    9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
    i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
    the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
    Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
    Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
    The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
    buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
    sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
    ideas anyone ....?
    thanx a bunch.
    hero

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.
    Regards,
    Ved

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

  • I just installed the yahoo messenger. Every time I do that my extensions go missing. How do you fix this instead of having to keep re installing firefox?

    I just installed the yahoo messenger. Every time I do that my extensions go missing. How do you fix this instead of having to keep re installing firefox?

    hello, this sounds like the files in your [[Profiles|profile folder]] that store the information about your extensions might have become corrupted. please go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - show folder...'' then windows explorer should open up your profile folder. in there look for the files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite-journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete or rename those files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox.

    When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

    I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page  in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

    just keep using the back button near right side of home button.

    Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How do I get the dreamweaver welcome page back

    I lost the welcome page for dreamweaver CS-6, how do I get it back?

    At the very top of the dreamweaver window just to the left of the search box you will find a drop down menu, here you will find all the different preset views, that are included with dreamweaver.  Assuming that all you have done is manually re-arrange the various panels, simply open the drop down and click 'Reset ........' which is third from the bottom of the list.  If you do rearrange the panels and get them in a view that you like to can save that as a workspace by clicking 'New workspace' and giving it a name, it will then appear at top of the list.
