How to stop mozilla from closing multiple intenet screens, when I only want to close one?

I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox. I often have more than one internet screen open. When I go to close one of them, Firefox sends me a message like, "You are about to close 3 tabs." When I tell it to close, I lose all 3 internet screens. I only want to close one. How can I stop that?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can try to open a new windows via Ctrl+N and use that window instead.

How to stop frame from closing?

Hi,
ramka.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()

How to stop formspring from automatically signing me in when nothing appears in "saved passwords."

This isn't much of a problem, rather an annoyance. On my computer, a laptop, Firefox keeps logging me in automatically to formspring.me. I've gone to Tools>Options>Security>Saved Passwords and there's not a single password saved in there or a website - it's empty. I've signed out of formspring.me and signed in manually and made sure that the "remember me on this computer" box was unchecked and signed in, signed out and refreshed and Firefox still signs me in automatically. How do I stop this from happening?

I went to Tools > Options > Privacy and I don't see "Cookies." The only things I see are these:
"History:
Firefox will: Never remember history
Firefox will use the same settings as private browsing, and will not remember any history as you browse the web.
You may also want to clear all current history.
Location Bar:
When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing.
OK, Cancel, Help"
If it counts for anything, I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.13.

How to stop browser from closing

My Blackberry locks screen after 15 minutes idle time (adjustable between 1 and 15 minutes in Options|Security|Password). If the Blackberry web browser is opened to a web page and sits idle, after 15 minutes' screen lock and re-logon, the browser no longer shows the page left opened earlier. Can this be worked around? Opera Mini doesn't have this problem. Thanks.
I've used multiple Blackberries of various versions. All behave the same. My current one is Torch 9810, version 7.1.

How to stop firefox from opening new ad tabs when clicking on a legit link or even a blank space?

This has been going on for months now in every computer in my house. If I go to any legitimate website and click on a legitimate link (not and ad) a new tab opens up to either a bogus virus warning, an ad page, or a survey. I have reset Firefox to default conditions several times without any results. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 14 and ran a scan (no virus found). I have Hitman Pro and ran a scan again without results. I have also ran Malaware Bytes, and Norton Power Eraser to no avail.
Mozilla has to do something about this as it is happening to may users.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How to stop computer from going to lock screen after 15 minutes (Windows 8.1)

My laptop was going to lockscreen after 15 minutes. I adjusted power settings and went to advanced screen, adjusted that and ......no change. Now somebody somewhere said that my system settings were overriding my power settings and that helped. I
did this and things were fixed. But now, it's gone back to 15 minute thing, which is a pain when I'm watching, say, a movie. And, I don't remember what I did before to fix it, and I can't find the information anywhere! Help!!!

Hi,
Seems we all missed an important option:
Please click "Settings" in the right charm bar, then "Change PC Settings"\"PC and device"\"Lock Screen",
Turn off "When my PC is inactive, show the lock screen instead of turning off the screen"
You can change the inactive time with security policy:
Click Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Local Security Policy> Local Policies> Security Options> Interactive Logon: Machine Inactivity Limit>set the time you want.
After you change the policy setting, run gpupdate /force

When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

How do I stop iTunes from downloading multiple copies of a TV show?

This is driving me nuts. Using Doctor Who as the example, for each episode released, iTunes tries to download two HD copies and one SD copy. I don't need the SD, nor do I need to duplicate HD. Yet I can't stop it from trying to download them when I start iTunes, nor can I figure out how to permanently remove or cancel a pending download.
Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
-- edit ---
Didn't have much luck matching search terms for this before posting, yet after posting links came up referencing other queries in which people asked how to stop iTunes from downloading the HD and SD versions of a TV show. Consensus seems to be that iTunes will always download each version, which is just plain silly. Haven't seen any explaination, however, on why it then tries to download a second HD copy.

That is correct. This is the way it is ALL HD purchases come with the SD version.

How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Keywords: how to stop iPad from copying apps to Mac, how to stop iPad from backing up apps to computer, how to prevent iPad from syncing apps

I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

How to stop Chrome from defaulting from Mail?

How do I stop Chrome from defaulting as the browser when I click on a link in Mail. I have opened Safari and changed the default browser several times to Safari and then closed it and even restarted. However, everytime I click on a link in Mail it opens in Chrome and when I get into Safari agian the default is back to Chrome!
Any ideas?

First, check Users & Groups preferences by clicking on the Login Items button. If you see Chrome in the list, then select it and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. If it isn't there then shutdown or restart the computer. A dialog should appear:
Uncheck the Reopen option.

Jpopup menu : Stopping it from closing ?

What makes (mecanism) a popup menu close. Where in the model or in the hirarchy is it done. How do we intercept it and stop it from closing?

My guess would be for you to extend the individual JMenuItem's and to override the methods:
fireActionPerformed(ActionEvent event),
fireItemStateChanged(ItemEvent event),
fireStateChanged()
Then add your own MouseListener to detect the mouse clicks and close at will.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
