Minimize browser won't stay minimized

VERY Irritating PROBLEM! When I minimize browser pages then add a new page all of the trayed pages pop up. They cascade and cover up the screen. I uninstalled Firefox and re installed latest download and it still does it.
Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== in the last 3 weeks

I have been having this same problem for ages BUT I think I have solved it. A while back I was trying to save memory and one of the settings that I tried, and forgot about, was config.trim_on_minimize in about:config . I had it set to "true" but now that I have set it back to the default of "false" the problem seems to be, for me anyway, fixed.

My Itunes Won't Stay Minimized In Windows Vista

My Itunes won't stay minimized. I will minimize it and then it will pop back up, i don't know if this issue has been addressed before but its driving me insane. what do i do?

I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

Browser won't stay open

Hi, I'm on my second iphone- the first one had to be returned because of this same problem. The problem is, my browser refuses to stay open. I am repeatedly returned to my home screen. I have tried all the tips I've read about to remedy the problem, to no avail. When I took in my second phone, they restored it and told me that it would fix the problem. It didn't and it's worse. I just came back from the Apple store (where the genius, who is on his third iphone)updated my software (on the second try- it failed to update the first time). He said that it is not my phone itself which is "broken", but the buggy software. The thing is, I can't be the only one experiencing this unbelievably annoying problem, am I!? Don't get me wrong- I LOVE my phone when it's working properly, but this problem has worsened and become intolerable. Occasionally, my phone will even reboot itself. I'm starting to wonder if I should just give it up and get a Blackberry or something because I also overheard one of the geniuses telling another one that they have been getting a ton of iphones coming back. I also sensed this the two times I was in the store- I get a look like: oh no, here comes another one . I prefer NOT to give it up, but I'm ready to tear my hair out! Do I need a third iphone??

Allan, here's an update: I just now picked up my phone, having never turned it off before putting it down, and the screen remains black! It's totally flatlined! It now will not turn on at all. Oy. This baby is going back first thing tomorrow. The weird thing is, after leaving the Apple store, I noticed some faint artifacts on my screen. As in, strange colors in areas that shouldn't be there. Do you know what I mean? It was similar to the time my graphics card died on my old pc.
Allan, yes- I restored both ways- wiping everything out and starting from scratch, and from a backup. I also got into the habit of powering off (and on) my phone religiously. It looks like this is a hardware, not just a software problem, now. I do hope the third time will be a charm, though . And I AM hopeful, especially after hearing that you've only crashed one time! Many thanks for troubleshooting with me, it's much appreciated!

InDesign CS4 documents won't stay minimized

My newspaper just went to InDesign as our pagination software, switching over from Quark, and we love it. However, there is one nagging issue with it that we cannot seem to figure out, so I thought I'd toss it out here.
There are times, of course, when you want to minimize your page into the dock to tend to business in other application windows on your desktop. However, when you minimize an InDesign page/document, after a certain period of time, the window will spontaneously maximize back up onto the desktop.
Basically, we'd like to know how to keep an InDesign page/document minimized until we want it to be maximized. We don't want it to bounce back up of its own volition, we want it to maximize when we decide it should be maximized.
We are running Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This happens to us, too. Drives me nuts.
In my case, it doesn't happen spontaneously or randomly, but when I have one or more pages minimized in the dock and open a NEW page to work on, the last page I was working on opens first. I don't want that one! If I did, I'd open it. I want to work on the NEW one.
Why does InDesign do this?
Does anyone have an answer?

Running programs won't stay minimized

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) that I just upgraded to Yosemite. Since upgrading, whenever I minimize apps back into the Dock, after a few seconds my desktop background will flash to black and then all of my minimized programs will be back onto my homescreen. Whenever all the programs are on my homescreen, the desktop background is fine and doesn't flash but as soon as I minimize an app, it flashes to black and brings it back to the screen. I've never had a problem like this before. Any suggestions??

A while back I was trying to save memory and one of the settings that I tried, and forgot about, was config.trim_on_minimize in about:config .

Firefox won't stay minimized. Keeps restoring and grabbing focus.

I have firefox minimized while I work. Every so often, the firefox window is restored and grabs focus.
Very annoying!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

N97 Problem - browser won't stay open

Another problem with my N97:
Now when I try to open a page in the standard web browser it just closes down the application. Icheck in the running programs list and it's not there - it has completely closed the app.
Is this a known bug?

How to fix browser won't stay open,..closes without messages

I can't get FF to stay open. No error messages. Just opens, says loading and reload then immediately closes.
I checked under task manager processes but FF is not running.
I think the add-on that opens the page in IE caused this as this has happened before but I can't remember how to fix it.

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.

Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards

ITunes 10.2.2 does not stay minimized when updating Apps in iTunes Store

Running iTunes 10.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.7, when I'm on the iTunes store, and request it to update all my iPhone Apps and then I minimize iTunes, it pops up again at every new download interfering with whatever task I'm doing.
Why won't iTunes stay minimized and run tasks in the background and constantly pop-up for attention?
THanks,
Daniel

I am having the same problem. I can't actualy minimize itunes at all. It stays open in full screen unless i go to the task manager. And then when I do anything in iTunes, even if I am in another app, it pops back into full screen.
The last four or five versions of iTunes have absolutely sucked ***.
Yet another annoying so called "improvement." What is wrong with you people at Apple? If you take your car to the mechanic to fix the windshield, they don't add a fifth wheel...

Opening New Window (Word, Outlook) Stays Minimized, Blinking in TaskBar

We are migrating to Office 2007, and have found the following. If we already have an existing word document open, minimized to the taskbar, and then we go to a web page and click on a url of a word document, then word icon on the taskbar starts to blink and stays that way, never opening the new window we clicked on, until we un-minimize the existing word icon already present on our taskbar. Once we maximize/open that window, the new window we clicked on opens immediately.
I have been told that the same thing also occurs in Outlook 2007, when we have an existing window (meeting, message, etc.) open. From what it looks like, it is only related to VBA code and/or clicking on a link. But if I double click on another file stored on my local pc or my network share, even though word is already minimized, it still opens the new document for me automatically, without me even having to do a thing.
I saw this was mentioned a while back as a problem with IE7 and Office 2003 after a hotfix. Our environment is Windows 7, IE8, and Office 2007.
Thanks,
Reuv

I found a solution after much troubleshooting including uninstalling/reinstalling Office 2010 which didn't solve the issue.
Here it is:
When Outlook or some other Office program is minimized in the taskbar and won't open, right click the taskbar to bring up task manager.
Right click the program in the task manager list that is giving trouble and click Maximize. You should now see a full screen.
This worked for me and solved the "open and stays minimized" delima. Hope this helps you too. Cheers :)
Thanks a bunch this saved me a potential headache!

HT204075 email account won't stay online

Mac email connects to the internet but can't connect to the POP server or the SMTP server, so I can't send or receive. Checked all settings and they're correct. Settings show the mail account is "offline" but it won't stay online for more than a few seconds when I click "take all accounts online.

Triple-click the word "telnet" in the line below on this page to select the whole line:
telnet pop.centurytel.net 995
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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 and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You should almost instantly get three or more lines of output below what you entered, one of which is this:
Escape character is '^]'.
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. If you get something different from the above, please post it in a reply. You can then quit Terminal.

IPod won't stay mounted to computer, can't load any content

I've reset it, tried to repair it with disk utility, and it still won't stay mounted. Can't put any content on it.
iPod classic 160 GB
Mid-2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1

Koopie, the bad news is: that's not at all an uncommon problem with the iPod Touch. I have the same problem at work. We have no problems at all connecting to our Wi-Fi with Dell, Sony, HP, Asus, Palm or any other devices except two: my Touch and my boss's iPhone. Apple has the most finicky Wi-Fi known to man.
But enough ranting. The first thing you'll want to do is to check to be sure that your router's firmware is up-to-date. That may just solve your problem; it does in some cases. I've also found that turning the Touch's Wi-Fi off and on sometimes helps. You may have to do it four or five times to get a reconnect. You might also check your router's instructions to see if there is a way to reset it by going in through your web browser, which may be more convenient than pulling the plug.
