I close firefox using the red cross - top right hand corner - but in processses it is still running

closing firefox using the red cross - top right of browser box closes it on my screen but the process stays running - when i try to open it again i get the message that it is already running although nothing i do willbring it back onto the screen - I have to go into task manager / processes and close it manually there (end process)
In task manager it hows in the processes list but not in the applications list

You can try to use File > Exit instead.

  • TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the  Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

    I have followed the steps above for downgrading iCloud storage options, but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the  Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock in top right-hand corner, but not sure where to go to unlock it.

  • Hi, in almost every other browser, when i save a document or attach a file in my gmail i have a search bar in the top right hand corner of the window pane that opens. Does Firefox do this?

    for example, those of you running windows, if you key;
    start/computer/C drive you will notice a search bar in tope right hand corner. Can this happen in Firefox.

    Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
    You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

    This part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
    But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
    U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
    Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
    The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
    By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
    Hope this will help u.

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me.

  • Why all of a sudden has one of my apps (Condition Report App) only displaying at the top right hand corner it is a quarter of the size it should be, i have tried setting my ipad back to factory settings and this hasnt helped some please help??? :)

    One of my apps (condition report app) has decided to only display on the top right hand corner which is only a quarter of the screen, not sure what has happened as i have not changed any settings went to go into it one day and it was just like it.
    Please help!!!! Thanks Kristy

    Do you have the most up-to-date version of the app? Did you upgrade to iOS 6? Did you check to make sure that the developer has updated the app for the new OS? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?

  • Just got a new macbook air I added 2 google email accounts to the mail program.  The mail downloaded thousands of emails and now on the top right hand corner I get bombarded by notification of these emails from 3-4 years ago and it is non stop.

    When I added 2 gmail accounts to my new macbook air.  The email program download thousands of emails and now I am getting notifications non stop on the top right hand corner from years ago it is non stop notification for the emails from like 2007 really old emails.  I am not sure why it is notifying me of old emails I know it is new just downloaded in the program but it should only notify me of recent emails shouldn't it?

    If your email client (Mail) it set to never delete emails from the server,  they stay there waiting. The server doesn't track what you've already downloaded, so a new setup of Mail just grabs whatever it finds on the server. You can change this in Settings, but for now, you have all your old emails to sort.

  • My Contacts program opens but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be off above the top right hand corner).

    My Contacts program appears to open, but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be sitting just above the top right hand corner). any suggestions on how to get it back?

    Launch Contacts, then on the "Window" menu select "Zoom". That should maximise the window and give you access to the bottom-right corner where you can resize it, and the bar at the top which you can drag around.

  • I dropped my phone this morning and it has a little crack in the top right hand corner how much do you reckon it will cost

    Just wondering how much it would cost to get the back of my iPhone fixed it has a few scratches &amp; a tiny crack in the top right hand corner on the back of the iPhone. Thanks in advance

    You take it into Apple and ask for an "out of warranty" replacement. It will cost a (reasonable) fraction of the cost of a new iphone.  The cost cannot be given as you do not say whereabouts in the world you are. You can get the price if you search appropriately the internet.

    I have a symbol on the top right hand corner and don't know what it is!! It's a little lock with a circle around it??  Help please???

    It's Orientation Lock, which will kee the screen from rotating when you rotate the device.
    It's accessible from Command Center- swipe up from the bottom of the screen.  You should see the icon to turn Orientation Lock on or off.
