I use Firefox 3.6.8 (only optin to ask question was v3.6 or earlier so I did it here)....whenever i click a link on any website, a window opens to browse bookmarks or history or both, instead of opening the link. Is this easily solved. Thank you.

OS=vista home premium, 2007 SP2

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

HT201070 I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!

Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar. Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid. Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced.
The HD wasn't partioned by the way. And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space.
Thanks again.

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

I don't want to sync my new ipod nano with all my music on my mac. i only want to put on certain albums. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

Hello,
It is 2015 and iTunes still wants to tell me what to listen to. This problem still persists. The only solution I have found is to select "Manual ..." and pick one by one the items to sync.
When I select items to sync by artist or genre they do copy to the device. Then iTunes continues randomly selecting music until the device is full. When I want to load the Nano for a road trip I don't want 20% of the tracks to be Chakra meditation. When little Nano is docked on the nightstand alarm clock I DON'T want to hear Motorhead, Ministry, etc.
For all the effort aPple puts into seamless integration and ease of use ... Why the heck is it so hard to say NO? Sync these tracks and NOT those. Stop asking me to log in to your cloud service BTW. I do not want it.
Thanks,
Disgruntled Sour aPple User

How do I select a playlist to copy onto my devices? On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices. How do I do it with this version? Thank you!

How in 12.1.0.50 can I select a playlist to copy onto my devices from my iMac? On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices (iPhone 6, iPod nano). How do I do it with this version? Thank you!

Same way.
Select the device, click Music tab and select the playlists to sync.

Hi. My photoshop elements 12 has suddenly stopped working. When i tried opening it yesterday absolutely nothing happened. After a reinstallation I got to choose between opening picture browser or photoshop elements and when trying to open elements nothing happens. Now I have reinstalled windows but still with the same result. I was using the program for several months without problem until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions on what to do?

same question with PS11

I am working through a tutorial based on Illustrator CS6, but I am using CS5. The tutorial requests that I open "Image Trace" but I don't see this function on CS5... please could you advise what the equivalent tool would be? Thank you!

I think in CS5, it was called "Live-Trace." Whatever it's called, it should become available on the options panel (the context-sensitive control panel at the top) when you select a trace-eligible raster image on your artboard.

Most of my iPhone 4 memory is taken up with "other" there is no reason for this. I have tried to clear as much history as possible but cannot reduce the size of this.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

I get an error when starting firefox on several user profiles: the bookmarks and history are not functional something about the file being in use.

Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 workstations, the appdata folder is redirected to a network share at \\server\profiles and several users are unable to use bookmarks getting an error about the file being in use. I'm wondering if maybe my antivirus (Trend Micro) or my backups (Symantec) might be locking up the places.sqlite for these users? Though I don't understand why it would be for some users and not others. I can't be the first one and I'm not coming up with anything searching google endlessly. Anybody else run into this?

hello, yes this is likely caused by an external program locking access to the bookmarks/history database. you could try renaming the file in question & see if it is working when it is regenerated, this will clear bookmarks and the history though, so keep a backup...

I cannot click on tabs in any website, do you know why? I can do it when using Internet Explorer but not firefox.

I have used Mozilla Firefox for years, but all of a sudden I cannot put my curser over a tabs on any website and click on it. What I mean is the top of the websites have words you can click on to go to other pages or in the email system it has tab buttons that allow you look at your inbox or close or save draft, it doesn't allow the curser to click on it. I can go to the tool bar put my curser in that and use the tab button on the key board to tab over to each word or link and then click enter and it will then go to that next page.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Nov 6 - Firefox updated when I opened my browser - bookmarks are now *bigger*, my list of bookmarks is more spread out. Hate it. Help.

I have my bookmarks toolbar open at all times to the left of my browser window. After this morning's updates, the bookmark icons seem bigger, the list is more spread out. Now bookmarks that were visible 'before', I have to scroll to see, because they're more spread out and take up more space.
Do not like. Any way to reset them so they're small again? To 'compact' the list, as it were?
Thanks!

Hmm... thanks for the feedback. It sounds like something is wrong. I don't think there were any changes to the bookmarks sidebar in the v25 update.
Could you open Firefox in Safe Mode to check if the font size is still wrong?
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem does not appear in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions in the article to identify the setting or Add-on that is causing the issue.
If the problem does appear in Safe Mode then I suggest that you do a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your history and bookmarks will be saved but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
Let me know if that fixes it.

When i click to open a link a blank screen pops up that says search bookmarks and history.

I open firefox to play games on yahoo home page. Click game, then click spades, then click the table to play at and the window opens but it is blank and says at the top of it "search bookmarks and history." This happens on my lap top but on my desktop it doesnot happen.
