How do I keep app tabs from opening as a regular tab when I restart Firefox? (In addition to staying as apptabs)

I set up four apptabs, then set the rest of the tabs I want to appear when I start the browser, set the Tools, Options, Use Current pages, and closed the browser. When I restart, the apptabs appear as I would expect, but they ALSO appear as regular tabs. If this is the way it's supposed to work, what is the point?

You have your wording mixed around two different options
one is for
:When Firefox Starts: Show ...
:and the other is for setting home page -- Use current pages
I expect that first one was "Show my Home Page"
The app-tabs then are in addition to your home page, you just repeated your home pages into normal tabs.
The app-tabs are preserved from one session to the next.
For me currently here in questions I have 8-9 tabs set up as app-tabs, I know what the are and in what order, my home page is not one them. I can clear all of the tabs to right of my app-tabs with Multiple Tab Handler and continue.
Home page is just a page I can bring up quickly with a button, I can bring up any page quickly with a keyboard shortcut or through the AwesomeBar features available in the Location Bar, and History and Bookmarks sidebar and Library list.

I am sticking with my choice to bookmark those I want as app-tabs and to refresh everything by closing all tabs then using the bookmark folder to restore tabs to be used as app-tab and pin them all at once using Multiple Tab Handler, so there is only one page in each.
In normal use I will restart at the first level in a tab, similar but not quite the same as really clearing out the cobwebs.

How do I keep my downloads from opening 100's of tabs in my browser?

I tried downloading a free trial of After Effects for the second time; I then tried selecting where I wanted to send it to on my computer, then I clicked the box at the bottom. Next thing I know, it's opening a hundred tabs in my browser a second and the only way to stop it is by closing all tabs. It's the same thing when I tried downloading the free trial for Final Cut. Does anyone know of how I can stop this, so I may be able to download apps successfully?

opening endless tabs would only cost you money if your isp charges you for the amount of data you download and each of those tabs is loading something. adobe will charge you nothing.
and no, the downloading stops and the tab opening stops once you close your browser. you should be able to verify by opening your browser again (which i'm pretty sure you did in order to post here) and seeing no more problem with your tabs.
also, that's not an adobe issue. you have a browser issue.
if you google, <your browser name> opens endless tabs, you should be able to find a solution to the problem, though the above link will probably circumvent the problem if you want a quick work-around.

How can I keep pictures images from opening up in the body of an email

Every time I attach a pic in mac mail, it opens in the body of the email. I never had this issue with Outlook.
I typically attach several pics at a time, the email becomes very messy. Any suggestions on how to keep it from opening.
I am using jpeg images.

It depends.
When you copy an image from a website in Firefox (right-click > Copy Image), Firefox stores the HTML code that website is using to display the image. Then when you paste into Yahoo mail, Yahoo uses that code to display the image in your message, by linking out to the source site.
However, if you copy the image from a source other than a web page, Yahoo mail (webmail interface) can't use this technique and although it sometimes seems to show the image in the post, when I send, I just get a strange "inline image" notation in its place.
If you access your Yahoo mail on a device in a dedicated mail client, then you usually would have more options because the mail program will encode the image into the message.

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

How do I keep apps downloaded from my iPad from syncing automatically to my iPhone?

I just got a new iPad, and the apps I downloaded on it automatically synced to my iPhone. I'd like to keep them separate. Some apps I want to keep on my iPad, but I don't want them to transfer to my iPhone. I'm assuming they're syncing via iCloud, since I haven't synced my iPad through iTunes yet.
Thanks!

I can't stop the App Store from opening on my MAC Air when turning it on. It didn't use to do this and I have no idea what I did, but I don't want it to open without me asking it to. Help please.

I must have done something that I'm not aware of. Every time I turn on my Mac Air the App Store opens. I don't want that, obviously. It's not in my login apps (I checked in system preferences), and it's not in my dock and when I put it in my dock it didnt' show "open at login", and I never choose to resume my programs when shutting down.
I am running the latest OS (10.8.4).
So, there has to be something else that I'm missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from opening the 'next' e-mail when I delete an e-mail?

Subject says it all. When viewing an e-mail, I delete it. Rather than just going back to the list of e-mails, my iPhone opens up another unread e-mail (seems to sometimes open a newer one, and sometimes an older one). I don't want it to do that.

You can't change this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Make sure that the pages aren't set as multiple home page, see
* [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

IF it is opening in import mode:
Do you have an external drive or device (iPhone, USB key) plugged into iPhoto? If so, there are some photo files on it that make iPhoto think it has photos to import. Remove the device, delete the photos or move the photos to another folder on the device.
If it is not openeing in import mode, it must be in your startup items. Drag it from there.

How do I stop the "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page from opening in a second tab when I launch my browser?

Since the latest update, every time I open my Firefox browser, it opens two tabs. The first tab is a "Meet Mozilla Firefox" tab and the second is my Yahoo! homepage. How do I stop the meet mozilla tab from opening and only have my yahoo homepage open?

Refer to this help article on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page?s=home+page&r=0&as=s How to Setup the Home Page].
If this still doesn't work, do the following:
* in the address bar type "'''about:config'''";
* click the button "I'll be careful I promise";
* in the bar type "'''browser.startup.page'''";
* right-click on it, and change the value to "'''0'''";
* re-start your browser.
Hope this helps.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

When I click on a link, multiple(and by multiple, I mean a ton) blank tabs open. The only way to stop more blank tabs from opening is to close out of firefox completely. Do I have a virus or do I need to change my settings?

If I click on something to open in a new tab or click on someone's email to open Outlook, instead of doing that, a bunch of blank tabs open. I'm fine with a couple blank tabs, but they keep opening. The only way to stop the tabs from opening is to close out of firefox entirely. When I try to reopen firefox, blank tabs again begin to reopen. You can't close out of them fast enough because they keep opening. To stop opening the blank tabs, you must restart firefox a second time.
Is this a virus or something wrong with my firefox settings??

Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".
