How do I minimise the history page so that the website is shown as well when an entry is selected. This happened on my old set up but not on 3-6-12

My old version of Firefox allowed browsing from the history list with a minimised history window. This allowed website or webpage to be shown next to the list. Since upgrading to Firefox 3-6-12 I cannot do this and have to relaunch from the history tab in the toolbar each time.
Is there a way round this. I am a novice on these things.

You can open the History in the sidebar: View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)

When I force close apps on the Switcher, I notice that a specific "Recent Contact" flashes sometimes... Why does this happen and what does it mean?

Hard to say. What problem is causing you to need to force close apps? That may be a clue.

The tabs in OPTIONS can no longer be accessed - it opens to the history page and that is all I can reach.

The options page comes in with the TABS inaccessible above the page level.
The page cannot be moved, and I cannot access any other options page/tab.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

In the left hand top I have the current page, beneath that the bookmark toolbar, and beneath that the home page. To the right top is a blurred image of my upper desktop. Cannot get a full screen with Firefox and see no remedy.

That's a very interesting find. A couple people have been reporting this. But we thought it was Google breaking that page on purpose because they plan to remove that special Firefox search page. They think it's too old and want people to switch to the newer one. But I'm still not sure why being signed into Google breaks that page (and signing out fixes it), I believe Google is at fault here and needs to update the code on that page.
The new Google search page for Firefox is:
 '''about:home'''

It's a special page built into the Firefox browser. That's why it has a weird website address that doesn't look like normal websites that use http://www., .com, .net, or .org.

How do I disable the mute microphone icon on the Facetime page so that others can hear me speak, in addition to them seeing me?

How do I disable the "mute microphone" icon on the Facetime page, so that the video recipient can not only see me,(which they can), but also to hear me as well?

When you are on a Facetime call, click on "Video" on the top menu bar. You'll see "Unmute" on the dropdown menu -- click on it. Your mic should now be unmuted. Note: You must be on a Facetime call, otherwise the mute/unmute option will be grayed out.
Of course, when your mic is unmuted the option will turn to mute.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

When clicking for a new tab, I used to to see previuos tabs history. But now it goes to an "I=play, yahoo bing search page. How do I delete this page or go back to the history page

when I click "new tab" the new page would be the search abr along with the :most used list. But now the "new tab" opens in a "I-Play", yahoo-bing search page. How do I get rid of the yahoo page and get back to the most viewed page????

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.

Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut. '''''''''ha'''''''''

The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar. 
The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them.

How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages. Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web. However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine. I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours. How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s). Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

Thanks for the response, Wyodor. I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look. Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites? When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones? I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions. Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files. I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good. I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome. Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

Hello Net,
Unfortunately, we do not have any VIs in LabVIEW that can figure out the number of pages of a standard report. However, with the use of ActiveX calls you can achieve this task. Here are a couple of discussion forums which discuss this:

Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.
