How do I keep a page as my home page when dragging icon to left of URL to house image & confirming that I want it as home page works only for current session, so when Firefox next opened, I end up with some stupid search page which McAfee doesn't like?
A couple of days ago, I connected to the Internet as usual & opened Firefox, only to be greeted by an almost blank screen with a Google-type search box in the middle & this message from McAfee:
"Your default search settings have changed. This may pose a security risk. Would you like to restore them to McAfee Secure Search to provide a safer searching experience?"
instead of my usual home page (BT Yahoo). I naturally clicked on the "Yes" option in the message, but rather than restoring my BT Yahoo home page, all that did was to insert the McAfee logo to the left of the search box in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The first time it happened, I had to search for the BT Yahoo page & then followed the standard procedure for setting it again as my home page. It worked only for that session: each time I shut down Firefox or restarted my computer after that, all I got was the blank "search page" & restoring the previous session was the only way to get back to BY Yahoo. How on earth do I make the home page setting permanent?
As far as I'm aware, I have done nothing to alter my search settings. However, I am anything but computer-literate, so I may have done/pressed something without realising it, but trying to understand what is now happening is far beyond my limited IT skills.
See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

I am trying to back up and sync my iPhone 4 and it keeps telling me the iPhone is refusing the request to back up on the latest back up date that I want to use. I can only use an older backup that is not recent. Anyone know what is up?
Have you downloaded and installed an App Store app that you downloaded free from some website instead of from the App Store? If so, that's a stolen app, and you need to delete it.

pingu70Which boxes are currently ticked in Clear Recent History?
*Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
Clear Recent History is not enabled by default, so if it is now then you or an extension did enable that.<br />
If you want to keep using it then you only need to make sure that the "Browsing History" don't have a tick to prevent App Tabs from being removed (App Tabs are considered as history because you visit sites). -
I just switched over to Mozilla Firefox letest version 3.6.13 (before I used Google Chrome). It's running fine BUT ....
if firefox is open and at the same time there is an (automatic or manual) update of my anti-virus SW (I use VIPRE) the update is done but afterwards my PC is blocked. Looking to the running processes I see that "System Idle Process" takes 98%. I can't do anything else with my PC, it reacting VERY slowly. To stop it I have to END firefox using "ctl-alt-del". It makes me nervous.
With other browsers (used IE and Google Chrome) or in case I dont use firefox there is no issue at all.I just switched over to Mozilla Firefox letest version 3.6.13 (before I used Google Chrome). It's running fine BUT ....

When Firefox is opened, nothing shows up but a black screen and the program is not responding. How can I repair this?
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello. How do I keep the actual size of a photo when adding to a Keepsake? Used to do this but have forgotten how! Need help please!
T.Here is my suggestion:
Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
Open the collage
Go to Select>all
Go to Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #1
Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
Please report back with your progress. -

When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
When I use
firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think it's a 4. Thanks
Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck -
Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone. So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.
Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

How do I keep my clipping path from shifting postitions when I crop an image?
The work path will remain positioned relative to the same underlying pixels after a crop. Are you trying to position it relative to one or more image edges after cropping? I don't think you can do that without moving the workpath after the crop.

Hello!
I just figured this out.....When Firefox is open, my Illustrator CS2 modifier keys stop working?
As soon as I shut down Firefox, they start working again. Please help!
Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure.Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Why am I hearing unwanted audio (commercials) when Firefox is open?
When Firefox is open I sometimes hear unwanted audio, mostly commercials. What can I do to correct this?
Could be some incompatibility with 10.6.8 or something you added to your system.
Try downloading the 5.4.0.1771 version and see if you have any better luck.
FWIW, I just downloaded 5.3.59.1093 and it worked "ok" on my 10.6.5. Of course "ok" is a relative term when it comes to skype since Microsoft took it over! -
