Perhaps your install of Firefox is hanging on exit, triggering the session restore.
You can disable session restore by changing a hidden preference.
Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
In the filter box type resume to bring up a small number of preferences
Double-click on the preference browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to change its value to false

"When Firefox starts:" is set to "Show my homepage", but it still shows the last page visited anyway.

Firefox 20, Ubuntu 12.04, Cinnamon desktop. "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my homepage". I tried settting browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to zero. Still does it. I think it happens mosts often if I log out without closing Firefox first. Does not seem to matter what that last page was. This problem has existed for as long as I have been using Firefox. It seemed to go away at about version 17, but now it is back in version 20 (at least for me).
Possibly, uninstalling all my add-ons or closing all tabs and shutting down in proper sequence would fix it. Come to think of it, going to my homepage and closing all other tabs before I log off would fix it for sure. But, it would be nice if it just worked.
Thanks

If the problem is that your settings are getting reset or failing to save correctly, you could check out this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Have you tested with your extensions disabled for a few shutdown or system restart cycles to see whether that makes any difference?
Less likely:
Could you make sure this preference is set to false: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once]. Usually is.
If you start Firefox with a shortcut, could you make sure there are no command-line options set that could override your default settings?

I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

HT1941 I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly. I am an old dude new to Mac OS. What up?

I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

I am getting EXACTLY the same "you don't have the required permissions" message that I see all over the net. 64 bit windows 7 ultimate. Many uninstalls and reinstalls. Yes, Itunes is in the program files x64 directory. Yes I get the same error there.

I'm getting the same error message as many other when I try to start Itunes. It was working correctly until I got an ipad 3 and installed some of the associated tools. Have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. Yes it's in the program files x64 directory. Yes I get the same error when I try to start direct from that folder instead of menus or desktop shortcuts. Did some registry cleaning. Nothing helps. Windows 7 ultimate, 64 bit. Please help.

The install fails with the error: "installer has insufficient privileges to access the directory >c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\itunes. The installation cannot continue". My user account is an admin account. I then retried the install by right-clicking and running the install with Admin Privileges. Same error results.
I don't have a Windows 7 box in front of me, so can you check something for me?
Navigate to that location on the PC look at the itunes item you see there. Is it a shortcut to your iTunes program file?
If it's just a shortcut, try dragging it out onto the desktop and doing another (64-bit) install. (With a 32-bit already in place, it may just offer to do a "repair install" instead of a full install.
Do you still get the error message or does the install go through smoothly this time?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What to do?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What to do?

I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years.
I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed. Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services. It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install. The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes. This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows. However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back. I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable.

I have Firefox configured so that it should go to my homepage when started, but it takes me to the last page I was at when closed. This started with the crappy new version. Help!

I recently upgraded to the newest version of Firefox - which I hate! My problem is that I have it configured to go to my home page when started, but instead it keeps going to the last page I was on. How do I fix that.

Your only choice is to place the phone in DFU mode (search Google for instructions) and restore as a new device. You will lose all your data.

I have tried to set my homepage to a specific website. However, whenever I open a new Safari window, it always returns to the last page I was at before I closed Safari. Any ideas? I did this was Safari preferences, open new window to homepage...

Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

TS1389 Hi Since the last Apple update, every timr i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my libaray. before the update I only had to do this once. Now its every time. Any solutions?

HI Since the last Apple itune WIndows update every time i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my library. Before the update i had only done this once. Now its every timre i open itunes

Copied from your previous post.
You are right the Iphone is locked into the carrier softbank from Japan and its not the 3g model its the one before it, I am not sure what model.
If your iPhone is not the 3G model - it is the one before that, this means your iPhone is the first generation iPhone or the original iPhone, which WAS NOT sold officially by Apple in Japan. The first generation iPhone was sold officially by Apple in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T, in the UK as carrier locked with O2, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked by Orange. The ONLY country where the first generation was sold as officially unlocked was in France, which is required by French law.
The original iPhone - the one before the 3G was not sold by Apple in Japan directly or through Softbank.
Did you purchase your iPhone from Softbank or from an Apple store in Japan ? If so, this would also mean your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank since the iPhone is sold in Japan officially as carrier locked with Softbank only, and this would be the 3G or 3GS, not the original iPhone. This would also mean you are roaming internationally with Softbank with your iPhone in China. If you are using a SIM card from a carrier in China with your iPhone, your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked unless you purchased your iPhone from an unofficial source in Japan which was sold originally as new officially in France as officially unlocked by the carrier Orange in France.
Is your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank in Japan, are you paying Softbank international roaming fees while using your iPhone in China?

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.
