I have a problem with Firefox. The checkbox for "Block pop-up windows" under Tools – Options – Content unchecks itself when I close the browser.
In other words, I can go into the content tab, check the box to stop pop-ups, but if I close the browser, and then reopen it, the box is no longer checked. What is the cause of this?

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, none of the fixes that you directed me to worked; the “safe mode” fix, prefs.js change to prefs.jsOLD fix, the blow it out and reinstall fix; and prefs-1.js does not exist. I’m willing to try any other fixes you can think of, so send them along if you have any.
One thing that did come to mind though is; the extension “.js” is for java script. And, with Firefox 6.0 installed, the Java 6 Update 26 is disabled, with the message under add-ons – extensions being, “Java Console is incompatible with Firefox 6.0.” Could this be the reason I can’t get the “Block pop-up windows” box to remain checked?
I’m not an IT guy, so any further help will be appreciated.

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.
do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ -

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX. I JUST HAVE TOO MANY THINGS ON MY BROWSER AND WANT TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES. HOW CAN I UNINSTALL FIREFOX SUCCESSFULLY? THANK YOU.
if you want to make a clean start again, create a new profile!

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4SContact the email provider for assistance with their service.

That Dell program may not yet know about Firefox 10 versions and then automatically shows a V 9.0.1.4371 version number.<br />
See if you can update that program or contact Dell.
If you do not have problems with Firefox then you probably can ignore that message. -

Every new link has to be opened in a new tab, or nothing happens. No matter how I try, I can't open more than one window with Firefox. Worst of all, if I surf the Internet for more than an hour, all these problems have a cumulative effect and Firefox simply crashes. I'd uninstall 3.6.9 and reinstall 3.6.6 (which gave me no problems) if I could only figure out how to save and export all my passwords and user IDs first -- that's way too much to have to input again from scratch!!
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.
It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
# open firefox - use any profile
# use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
# you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
#*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
#* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
#without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
# firefox should now restart in safe-mode
Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
# once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
## does that option work ok,
## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
## close the folder again
## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
#'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step -

My website is not working correctly, pictures, menus etc..
As webmaster I made my website, in IE everything works correctly but with Firefox not.
Must I put something in my HTML-code so everybody who use Firefox see my website correctly?
Thanks.Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

My Iphone 4 is very good until last Thursday, I used it from sep 2011 without any problems, My problem is the battery is down without any warning and working after 100% then 82% then 50% then 30% and down these things throw less than two hours
what can I do with that??
Also, I live in Cairo,Egypt
waiting your recommendationsHi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)
Regards,
Thorsten -
When I click on a game, the game window opens and is solid, but when it's fully loaded, it becomes semi transparent and washed out. I can post a screen shot of what I'm talking about if this forum supports it.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you
