I get a pop up window when leaving a site asking if I am sure I want to leave, the only way to get out is kill Firefox in task mgr but FF restarts the lockup

On some sites I get a pop up window asking if I am sure I want to leave the site. The only option is to click on the pop up, nothing else works you cannot use back or even shutdown FF. I have to shut down with task manager, but when I restart FF it goes back to the locked up page.

If you want to change how Firefox starts up after a crash, you have the option to have Firefox show a list of windows and tabs. Then you can deselect the tab you do not want opened again. Here's how to change the setting:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
Note: Please don't customize any other sessionstore preferences to zero, or you might lose the ability to recover your closed windows and tabs.

  • HT1338 Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card?  I thought system updates are free.  I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.

    This may also help. Someone in another thread typed the above link only works if you haven't established your account, but when I just checked my account the "None" button was there?:

  • When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute.  The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • When I try to exit a video on the internet I received a screen asking if I was sure I want to leave. It to not have a confirmation tag. But it has prevented Safari from shutting down. Now I can not turn off my Mac? How do I reset?

    What kind of videos are you watching? 
    You need to force quit Safari, but hitting Command-option-esc, and force quit Safari. 

  • HT1551 when we try to watch a purchased show like The Good Wife - the program freezes and the little circle goes around and around - the only way to get the program going is to rewind or fast forward to jump start the movie again. Help!

    When we rent a show like The Good Wife while watching the show it freezes and the little circle goes around and around. The only way to get the program going again is to use the remote and go forward or backward. This happens throughout the whole show and it is impossible to watch. Can anyone help? We cannot watch movies or shows this way.

    What is your actual speed (speedtest.net)?
    Check istumbler.net or netstumbler to verify any interference
    Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
    Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
    Try another HDMI cable.
    Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)

  • So is the cloud the only way to get Light room and most recent edition of PS?

    I am thinking of updating my PS(I have cs3) but seems the only way to get it thru adobe where my license is verified is thru the cloud. When did this start? If I can load the app to my computer what stops me from continuing to use it after i quit the cloud? Can I not get older versions of PS and LR thru adobe anymore as a stand aline product?
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • The only way to get the bookmark link open is to open the folder right click open. Why is this?

    When i click on the link i want to go to nothing happens. ex: lets say that i want to check my email, well i would normally go to email folder> and just click on yahoo or gmail. well now when i do this nothing happens. i have to right click then go to open.

    Thanks but unfortunately I don't have that option (I'm im Australia) so this will be day 8 that apple have my money without authorisation. The amount has now increased due to the transactions that were pending prior to me cancelling my credit card. The total is now over $300 including the overdrawn fee. It is beyond comprehension that a company the size of apple doesn't have a *real* customer service dept that handle these types of *real* problems immediately via phone contact but I guess that's the point isn't it? If we want to use the apps they provide thru their services and devices we have no choice but to put up with their primitive third world service. I sent them an email via the link you provided 4 days ago. There is no excuse for me to be STILL waiting for this problem to be resolved - none whatsoever, it is disgusting. Thanks for responding I had a feeling that was the only way to get this resolved, only it is so unbelievable I had to make sure.

  • It is unclear the advantage to pre-ordering the new iPhone 5. What I have read is that it will ship on the 21st? If so the only way to get one on the 21st is go stand in line. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    if you don't have time to stand in line or don't want to risk getting there too late and leaving empty handed from the apple store preordering will guarantee you one but possibly in a slightly longer timeframe

  • Is the only way to get your money back for unauthorised purchases to go thru the lengthy email customer support process?

    I want my money back and I want it now. Why doesn't apple have a phone number for urgent account problems? i got an overdrawn fee from my bank, I checked the transactions and found apple iTunes charged me 11 times in one day with the total amount being over $170.00!!!!! The only purchases I made that day were a few $1.29 inapp purchases. How do I get my money back??? And why don't they have a phone number you can contact. This is an urgent problem because not only have they charged me over $170 & Ive got a $30 overdrawn fee there are MORE transactions from apple on my bank account that are "pending". These transactions are of a similar amount & they are not for anything I have purchased! i have been forced to cancel my credit card to stop apple from doing anymore but I want my money back!

    my mouse goes to sleep and the only way to get it working again is to restart my macbook

    Hello:
    Try three things (if you have already followed my first suggestion):
    1.  Reset the PRAM.
    2.  Reset the SMC.
    3.  Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
