How do I stop the tab bar from scrolling to the left whenever I open a new tab? It's a constant distraction

If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open whenever I open a new one the tab I'm currently on is shifted to the left of the bar 1 spot until it's the leftmost tab on the screen.
Is it possible to stop firefox from doing this as the movement of the tabs at the top of the screen is incredibly distracting?

I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once

How do I stop the system integration box opening on start up

I don't want to set thunderbird as my default email client. I have been in and unchecked to check on start up but it is stall asking me ever time I start up. How do I stop this. Running windows 7 SP1

We went around this one a while ago. It turned out that the poster wanted to use webmail by default, but a browser won't by itself be recognized as a valid email client.
Is there an alternative email client you want to use as default? What happens if you set it as the default?
If you want to use the browser you'll probably need to find a notifier add-on or applet that can field any requests for email management and thereby launch the browser. .

How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
time I saw it.
Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Tom Graciano

You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
Does that return to the behavior you want?

I got a virus that made it so when I open a new tab it takes me to a bad website. How do I modify the website when I open a new tab?

All I need to know is how to change the website that initially is launched when I press the new tab button (the plus sign at the top). How do I change it back to Firefox's original setting of the page where there is about nine previewed websites that I pinned and/or used frequently?

How can I stop the Add-on Bar from appearing everytime a new tab or window is opened?

I close it each time, and I have also removed it by unchecking it in the toolbar (or similar) menu. However, it always reappears whenever I open a new tab or re-open Firefox. How can I get rid of it unless I choose for it to become present again?

Right-click the "+" tab and deselect the Add-on Bar entry tick. The Add-on Bar should then disappear for the remainder of the session but will reappear when you restart Firefox. If you want to permanently remove the Add-on Bar then a different approach must be used, using a modified userChrome.css file.

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.
Edit: just changed formatting.

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud. I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more. My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches. This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4. How do I fix this?
Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all. I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file. Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
Problem #3: When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information. How do I stop this? Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
Problem #4: When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page. Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns. Is there a way to format the output? I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
Problem #5: Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work. (I have had this computer since May 2011). No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory. To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually. Is there a fix to this?
Problem #6: Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate. How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
Problem #7: Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

'''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
# Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
# Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
# Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
# Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
# Click on the Save button.
Hopefully, problem solved!

How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the spread sheet from scrolling horizontally without reducing the size?

With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the document from moving horizontally? When I scroll up or down I find it annoying that the document might shift to the left, and then I have to scroll it back to the right. The only way I've found to stop it from moving horizontally is by reducing the document down to about 50%, but then I can't read the document. I prefer having the document set at 125%, but then the bottom horizontal scroll bar shows up, and then the document can shift to the left if I'm not exact with my scrolling up or down.

How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

''I uninstalled AOL IM and disabled MetaStream 3 Plugin but that didn't work either. I don't currently have viewpoint media player that I'm aware of. ''
'''''MetaStream 3 Plugin''' MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 Unknown plugin Research''
This is apparently the Viewpoint Media Player plugin '''npViewpoint.dll'''. Even though you don't see the Viewpoint Media Player listed in your list of installed programs, it might be listed as a different application.
Disabling the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager removes it from the about:plugins list but apparently does not stop the PluginCheck from finding it. You should re-enable the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager list of plugins. You can then find and remove the plugin file '''npViewpoint.dll''' from your computer, using the following instructions, from this thread at mozillazine:<br>

#Enter about:config into the address bar

#The resulting "Installed Plugins" list will now show the full path and file name of the associated plugin DLL file.
#Simply go to the directory of the suspect plugin (using Windows Explorer or whatever) and rename the DLL file (I just appended '.OLD' to the DLL file name, e.g., ''''npViewpoint.dll'''.OLD')
#Quit firefox (file, exit) and restart.
#If you don't get redirected to the Plugin Check page then problem solved. If you do get redirected to the Plugin Check page then the plugin you just nuked (by renaming the DLL file) should be gone from the list.
#Repeat with the other "unknown plugins" until you don't get redirected upon Firefox startup.
