I cannot keep the "keep me signed in" link. I always tick the request but it disappears the next time I open Firefox.

I think the problem to be self explanatory

How to reset the zoom automatically or next time i open firefox or with a toolbar icon?

i have - + toolbar and when i press how do i get to normal?
and if i leave it to max the zoom, next time i open firefox , it keeps the zoom to the max!!
i want a Reset Zoom toolbar icon

You can do that with the keyboard.
*View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
There may be an extension that has a reset zoom button.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=zoom
You can also create your own button and use this code to reset the zoom: FullZoom.reset();

Why cant i close and save? so the next time i open firefox the same sites come up.

Before i installed the latest firefox, a window poped up when i closed firefox asking what i wanted to do. save and close, just close or abort. after the update i only get 2 alternatives close or abort.
I want the last alternative back so i can close and save, and get the same sites next time i open firefox.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

AFter installing Firefox yesterday to a Mac Airbook, I cannot get rid of the install icon that is on the desktop - Ejecting doesn't work as it reappears the next time I open Firefox.

Usually the install icon is ejected and the application lives in the applications folder. Not this time. When I eject the icon from the desktop, the next time I open FF, the install package reappears in a window. ??

One reason why this would happen: the Firefox icon that you see on your Dock actually opens Firefox from the disk image and not from the "Applications" folder.
To verify this, control-click on the Firefox icon in the Dock and then select "Show in Finder". In the Finder window that opens, check the path. Is it your "Applications" folder or is it the path to the install disk image? If it is path to disk image, remove the icon from Dock and then drag the icon from "Applications" folder to the Dock.
Edit: Note to myself - submit answer immediately after typing it :)

How do I set the screen zoom, so that it doesnt change each time I open Firefox. Because I see the webpages in smaller print, and I want them larger , without having to re zoom each time I open Firefox.

I need to know how to set the zoom option under "View" Tab, shere I dont have to re zoom each time I open Firefox. I have a wide screen monitor and generally, when viewing webpages, the web content on any page is confined to center of the page, and I was wondering if there was anyway to permanently set the zoom preferences without having to change them each time i open a webpage.
IE 8 and 9 has a feature to set the magnification and i set mine to 150% which works perfectly for me. I wonder if Firefox has a similar feature.

Thanks a lot. I downloaded the Default FullZoom Level add-on. My problem is now a history. thanks a million

When I close firefox all my tab groups close too and dissapear the next time I open firefox. I have a Mac. I try with the version 5 and 6 (beta). What can i do?

I can make the groups but the problem happens when i close firefox and open again.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox or use cleanup software that clears session data (sessionstore.js)

I accidentally let Firefox download the version 7 update. Unfortunately I do not want to install it. Now every time I open firefox it asks to install the update. How do I get it to stop?

I have nothing to add.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder. 
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml that stores the update history, if present.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

I lose a bunch of tabs when I exit Firefox, even though I click for it to save the tabs for next time I open it

When I use Firefox, I usually have a bunch of tabs open. Sometimes I have a tab open as a reminder to look further into the subject, or I plan on going back to it to finish reading whatever it was. Before, if my computer would restart due to updates, when I started Firefox up again, it would say "Well...this is embarrassing" and allow me to reopen all the tabs I once had. This no longer works. I was even able to close Firefox through the Task Manager on windows, and have the same result. Now this doesn't happen. So I tried to close it and it asked to save my tabs for the next time I open Firefox. It doesn't save them, as it's always just my homepage and I never see an option to recall the old tabs. I even set the settings to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time." This also does not work. I'm getting tired of having to remember all over again what sites I had up. Usually they aren't something that I need bookmarked, so that's why I don't do it. Also, it would really clutter my bookmarks if I did. Please help.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

Almost every time I open Firefox some bookmarks move up, and down the sidebar. Anyone know how I can fix this frustrating problem?

I have many bookmarks in folders. The folders, and some plain book marks move up or down from where I place them every time I open I open Firefox 4.0. I have even put them back to where I want them to be, and next time I open Firefox they move like they are playing Hide & Seek! Also from time to time there are new bookmarks added named "about:blank: I deleted the 8 ones created last week a few days ago, and now have 6 more! I am also having problems deleting some plugins, but that is another issue to worry about later.

Any chance you are using the Sync service?

I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it. How can I stop or change this?

I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it. How can I stop or change this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop the fil

How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop all the files that I had open are there already in the same position as when I closed Photoshop?
I've been a Fireworks user for over 10 years and just switched to Photoshop. I cannot find a setting that will enable all my file windows to reopen when I quit Photoshop. This is really a problem since I often work on several files at the same time.
Please let me know if the feature exists or point me to where I can post a message for a new feature to be implemented. The feature is a must for any designer working on large projects.
Thanks!

There is no such functionality. You could perhaps create a script that stores that info in a custom text file and arranges them accordingly in the workspace, but that's as good as it gets...

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
Select the add-on you wish to disable.
Click the Disable button.
Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

I cannot keep the "keep me signed in" link. I always tick the request but it disappears the next time I open Firefox.
