I don't see a Sync option when I open FIrefox Preferences, how do I proceed?

I am wanting to set up Firefox on my Iphone. The instructions advise me to go into FIrefox preferences on my computer (macbook pro, OS 10.5) and open up the Sync option in the preferences. When I open Firefox (3.16.13) and go to Preferences, I see, from left to right, General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security and Advanced. No Sync. WHen I look at the SYncing instructions there appears to be a Sync option, but there is none I can find on my computer. What am I missing/not doing?

Hi!
Updates are automatic when you are at the latest version. Is there any reason why you are still on 3.6?? If you move to the latest version (Firefox 8.1) you will have Sync and automatic updates.
Firefox 3.6 doesn't include Sync on the browser. If you want to use it you should upgrade to Firefox 8 by visiting the following link: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/

I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

INBOX has taken over Mozilla homepage when I open Firefox. How do I delete it?

I was browsing for a map of Berlin and opened a site. I closed it when it didn't provide the information free.
Now when I open Firefox, I get their homepage INBOX.
I tried closing down the computer and restarting, but this does not work.
How can I delete INBOX as the default browser and restore Firefox as the browser when I click its icon in the dock.
I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8.

Firefox can open multiple home pages. They are separated with the "|" keyboard character. Easiest way to set multiple home pages:
#open only the pages you want to be set as home pages
#go to Options > General
#set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
#click "Use current pages"

Intrusive music now occurs when I open firefox. How do I stop it?

I have been using Firefox for a long time, and now use it on Windows 8 with a 64 bit processor.
This morning, 28 January 2014, I found that when I opened Firefox, I heard unknown, intrusive, repetitious music that I could not stop, although it stopped itself when completed. Searching for a solution in the Help resoiurces, I failed to find one. I therefore uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. However, the music still comes on. I am at a loss as to what to do to remove it.

It sounds like an add or a game you had played.
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''. If it stops, it could be an add-on.

Don't see the green rectangle when taking photo, 2. How can I set up viber on my iPad

1.When taking photo with this iPad, I don't see the green rectangle. My friend told me that in order to take a clear picture, you need to see the green rectangle. When I take a picture of myself, then I see it. Why is that?
2. How can you set up Viber? Does Viber can make long distance call back to US when I am out of the country? For example: if I am in Hong Kong, I want to make a call back home to a US phone #, is there any charge. What about SMS? The people I call or SMS have to be on Viber also?
How can I see your response? Are you going to email me? My email address is [email protected]
Thanks,
Christine

HT1495 I use method 3 to sync my iPad to my desktop which is used to sync my iPod nano. After I done all the steps,how will I sync the separate library to my iPad? I don't see any sync option and don't even see my iPad on the device.

My iPad is registered in a different account.im having difficulty installing iTunes on my laptop so when I read that multiple iPod,iPad etc can be sync in one computer,I tried making a separate library on my desktop which have an iTunes already.i used my desktop for my iPod nano. After following the instructions, I don't know how to sync it with my iPad now connected on my desktop.i can't see a button or option to sync. And I don't even see my iPad recognize on the device.pls tell me what am I missing. I already sign in so my desktop will be authorize.

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

When I open a psd file in photoshop I don't see the layers. When I opened a psd file in elements the layers would show up.

When I was using elements and I opened a psd file that I wanted to re-edit the layers would be visable just as when I last closed the image. Now that I upgraded to photoshop and I open a psd file it opens with only the background layer. What am I doing wrong?

System info? Versions? Exact settings? PS only opening the merged view could indicate that the file contains data unique to Elements which it cannot interpret.

Why is the Plugin Check suddenly starting up automatically when I open Firefox, and how do I stop it?

Instead of Firefox opening to my homepage, as it has been doing for several years now, it opens to a Plugin Check screen. I don't know why this started, and I haven't found a way to prevent this from happening. What can I do?

That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed. 
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file. 
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

I am running W2K SP4. Most of the plugins are for XP or newer, so I really can't update. This screen is really annoying. I just want to disable this.

Error Console box opens automatically when I open Firefox. How do I fix this?

The Error Console box opens automatically every time I open Firefox. What can I do to fix this problem. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and restarting computer after doing so.

This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Repair permissions and restart your computer. If this does not work, zap the pram. You should now see your external hard drive.
