I can't turn off session restore.

No matter what setting i have set in the Options window, when i exit and then start a new session in FF the previous one always pops up regardless of the setting. All i want is my homepage to pop up like normal. Its done this for about 2 weeks or so. Its soooooooooo annoying. Help.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

Turn off session restore permanently

I want to turn off session restore permanently. Although I have set resume_from_crash to false several times, Firefox keeps setting it back to true.
Can I ask please specifically for an answer to the question - not a list of links to web pages that just happen to mention the terms 'session restore' but don't answer the question.

Do you want to prevent Firefox from storing session data at all, i.e., disable both automatic and manual restoration of the earlier session? Or do you want your choice about browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to actually stick?
'''(1) Regarding preference changes that are overridden'''
Check out this article, particularly the part about the possible presence of a user.js file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
If you find numerous settings being reset to default, consider whether you have any systemwide cleanup utilities such as CCleaner running which might be helping you out by doing that.
'''(2) Possible workaround: After a crash, view window and tab list screen instead of resuming automatically'''
To prevent Firefox from automatically resuming your entire previous session after a crash, you can display a screen with a list of windows/tabs to restore. This may be helpful to avoid problem pages.
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''session''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' and change the value from 1 to 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
'''(3) Remember nothing (also disables manual restore feature)'''
In about:config, set these to zero:
* browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo
* browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo

I only want my home page on start up. I do NOT want all my tabs restored. How can I turn off auto restore?

Check your home page settings and be sure that you do not have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected. Tools > Options > General > "When Firefox starts:"

If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again. If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

I can not restore because I can not turn off Find my Iphone

Hello,
I'm using iphone 5 with ios 7. I just upgraded ios 7 today. after upgrade I realised that passcode was activated before upgrade I was not using that feature. I forgot my passcode so I got my phone disabled for a while. I searched the discussions and saw that I need to restore and then restore from back up to have the passcode to disable. When I try to restore my phone I got the below message:
Find My iPhone must be turned off before “Jean” can be restored.
Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone.
I can not turn off Find my Iphone because my phone locked and I forgot the passcode.
Anyone can help?

Follow the steps above to remove it from the account, but then
"After the device has been removed from the account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally. "

You sould be able to sync both ways. Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar. Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone). Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

Restoring from iCloud - when can I turn off iCloud from old phone?

Hi - I upgraded from 4S to 6 and I'm restoring from iCloud backup - it's taking a while to download all the apps and photos as I expected. While it's downloading/restoring from iCloud can I turn off iCloud service from the old 4S or do I have to wait until it's complete on the 6?

No. When you turn it off it removes your existing backup. You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7? It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English. Thank you.

How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7? I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English. Thank you.

The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
