I'm getting unwanted tabs popping up in firefox. How can I prevent this?
New tabs are appearing at random times in my Firefox window. I can leave firefox open, and come back to the computer and have new tabs that have appeared. I can be actively working in another tab, and have a new tab appear.
I think this started when a game from popcapgames.com was downloaded to my machine. This game was not ever run on the machine - as far as the downloader will admit.
I tried to access Spybot Search & Destroy from this machine, and I suspected that I was not getting the correct site, but a forgery instead. I used a different machine to get Spybot onto a memory stick and installed it onto my machine. I've run it several times, and it has removed considerable amounts of spyware from this machine.
But, I'm still getting unwanted Tabs popping up.
I've verified that the pop-up blocker is still set in firefox.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

If you can't fix it with the above listed scanners then you need to ask advise on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the <i>Popups_not_blocked</i> article.

I keep getting drafts of mail I send. How can I prevent this?
Just upgraded to snow leopard...In my mail, each time I send a message it duplicates a copy in my drafts folder.
How can I prevent this from happening?Would also like to know. Getting annoying!

Sorry, that should be duplicate 'notifications'.
I'm not sure if this will help, but check your sync settings in iTunes - there's a small-print warning that if you've chosen to sync with iCloud and teh computer,"This may result in duplicate data showing on your device".

When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?
You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names. -
my airport extreme has connected to a Tplink router, i set my AE in Create network, so i get a problem of Double NAT. How can i repair this probleme because i have to use TPlink for my IP TV and i want to use AE to creat my network and the guest NW. If we don't have a solution for this question, can i set my AE to use the IP TV and how??? I'm using a 4th Airport extreme
No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
Is the TP-Link ADSL?
Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
Or a different vlan.
Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
Here is one for our local ISP.

He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking. -

I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined.... -
I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?
If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

This is a new problem. I didn't change any account settings that I'm aware of; I can't recall if I installed any updates before it started. It took me a few days to figure out exactly what was going on. At first it just seemed that old, archived messages were reappearing, until I understood the pattern. How can I make this not happen? Help will be greatly appreciated.
This sounds as though it could be a result of using a conversation view, which Thunderbird calls a threaded view. To keep messages in their respective places, try switching to Unthreaded view:
menu > View > Sort by > Unthreaded
Note: if this isn't on the "new" View menu, you can tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, and then use the classic View menu.
Does that get you where you want to go? -
If there is no sound/music playing, computer starts to make white noise (unless muted). After sound/music starts, computer pops speakers/headphones (white noise stops). How can I fix this?
Hello Stacey,
What all devices do you have connected?

When I try to compose an email from Godaddy's webmail in the Firefox browser. My steps are as follows:
-Open Firefox.
-Log in to Godaddy webmail.
-I hit the compose button.
-New window pops up. This is the window that I would compose an email in.
- Right after the compose window loads, I get another window that pops up. This window says "File Upload" in the upper left corner.
If I exit that window I can then compose my email, and life is good until I want to compose another email. Then the problem repeats. I have contacted Godaddy support and the problem is not on their end. Also the problem DOES NOT happen when using another browser (Internet Explorer).The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
