Is it possible to disable "whats new" page that shows up every time Firefox has been updated
Any time Firefox has been updated, there is a "What's new" tab. Firefox updates too often for this page to be interesting. Now it's just plain annoying.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to stop that page from loading.
EDIT: Found this after posting. May or may not work.

The purpose of the page is to keep users informed. For example, do you know the reason(s) for the upgrades to versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 (also 3.6.21 and 3.6.22)? Many/most users do not.
Plus, one click to close the tab isn't too much effort, is it?

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.
Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

Are you referring to the Dock?
If it is the Dock that is bothering you, type: command, option, D (all three keys together). That will bring the Dock on the screen permanently.
I do not know how to remove it permanently. -
Msnbc will not hold its setting..local weather,news needs to be reset every time firefox is opened
When I open firefox, the settings for msnbc I have set default to a different city and local news. When I reset them and save them on msnbc's websit and close the browser, they once again default to the wrong city.
No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod. -
Ever since I upgraded to v20 of Firefox a problem has occurred where I will close Firefox properly (close browser and then quit application as I am on a Mac) but when I open it again I will get a message. This message is "Oh this is embarrassing..." and try to get me to reopen my tabs I had before. This will also happen if I have just one tab open and then close it. I was wondering if there is a way to fix it!
Hi susiqw, it's hard to see when the text is all written as a single sentence, but the steps are:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false. -
Will my bookmarks come back to Firefox on my mac? And how can I save the bookmarks on the mac, so this dosn't happen again.
Are the bookmark backups gone from the profile? I would try restoring them first before anything else. The profile for Firefox is in the Library for the user account. The easy way to find the profile is to click "Troubleshooting Information" in the Help menu and then click the button "Show in Finder". It is possible to backup bookmarks to another directory outside the profile from the Backup and Restore button in the toolbar in the bookmarks library window. That way you have a backup set of bookmarks you can restore even if the profile goes missing.

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-) -
''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/919154''
When I downloaded Foxfire the home page came up with "Meet Mozilla Foxfire" then below that it shows "Become a Firefox Expert in 8 Easy Steps". I would like to delete this and in lieu of that show recent highlights and the news. I have no problem with the tool bars they are fine just the home page.See these articles for some suggestions:

The update for Pages says it is installing however it has been like this for days. Cannot open the app. What can I do?
Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.

Does each new page that I attach to my home page have to have its own style sheet?
Does each new page that I attach to my home page have to have its own style sheet or should it all just go on the home page one?
Different answers depending on your project & workflow.
I like to keep all my sitewide styles in an external css file.
Page specific <styles> can be embedded into the document's <head> tags.
And for line specific styles (mostly used for HTML emails), inline styles can be added to the markup.
<p style="color:red">example of a paragraph with inline style</p>
Now, let's say you're building different layouts for different devices. In that case, you really must keep all related styles in their respective external CSS files.
print.css
mobile.css
tablet.css
desktop.css
There's no one size fits all here. Use whichever method works best for you & your project.

On my iPhone no matter what i always get a message "Your Apple ID has been disabled" even though i can log on on my laptop...
That won't help. You need to contact iTunes support so they can re-enable your account. They only work via email or live chat: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Possible to disable recently exported files from showing?
at the home screen for ExportPDF, you can see the recently exported files. Is it possible to disable the recent files from showing?
Hi ymco-hi,
As Sara mentioned there's no way to disable the recently exported files from showing. The only way you can make the files not appear in the list is by deleting them.
Please follow the steps below for the same:
Click on 'View All' and it will direct you to the 'Files' section where all the files are backed up.
As you take your mouse on the file you want it to be disappeared, a check box will appear at the left corner.
Click on that and you will see few option at the top.See this screen shot.
Click on 'Delete' button and your file will no more appear on Export PDF screen.
Regards,
Florence
