Multiple windows open up in one browser. I drag and dropped websites to the taskbar and now can't get rid of it.

I thought it would be convenient for 3 windows to open automatically in one browser. It slows my laptop down and I want to be able to click on Firefox and have just one window open. Any ideas how to fix?

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.

I recently browsed iTunes UK and now can't get back to iTunes US version. I restarted my Mac and whenever I open iTunes store it is the UK version. I can't open an account there because it won't let me use by email address twice.

I recently browsed ITunes UK store and now can't get back to my iTunes US store. The UK store won't accept my email address as it is in use. So, effectively, I can't make an iTunes purchase. And, this password changing is madness. Everytime I sign in iTunes doesn't recognize my password and so I have to get a new one even though I've answered the useless security questions. Has anyone solved this problem before?

Funny how this seems to be one of the most-asked questions on the Internet. In most cases, no answer is ever checked as "Correct," either. Most answers, as on this page, say to click the flag at the bottom right-hand corner of any store page. The problem? There's only one flag!!! And it's the one of the country we don't want to be in!!!
Just in case this helps someone: what worked for me was to sign in. It then told me my id was not valid for this country, and switched me back to the US. How I was ever able to buy something from the UK store in the first place is beyond me.
By the way, Apple, experiences like this, and many, many other horrible ones with iTunes, is why those of us who do not live in the Apple world continue to stick to their Microsoft PCs.

Yahoo has hijacked my web browser from Firefox and I can't get rid of it.

I have tried every way to change it, and my settings say Firefox is still my default browser yet it opens with AT&T/Yahoo as my search engine. I hate AT&T and have eliminated them completely from my life and don't want them as my search engine. I am currently running a virus extractor as I read that could be the problem, but if that doesn't work, any other suggestions?

My browser was hijacked to switct to Bing. If you have a similar problem, try this:
1- download & run "Hijack This"
2- check to see if there are any entries that mention "sweet" or "Sweetbacks"
3- delete any entry that says "sweet" of "sweetback"
4- open browser’s "Settings"
5- open “set pages”
6- delete all entries with "sweet" or "sweetbacks" backs in them
7- check all the browsers listed under "set pages" for malware or just a
bad reputation
8- reboot immediately
If sweetbacks was the problem, your browser should be back to normal
and it should work the same for all browsers

I have dead time after a transition on one of my slides and I can not get rid of it

I have a transition between slides and then once the transition occurs, there is dead blank space for 5 seconds and then the next slide comes in. I have tried everything to get rid of the dead space but I can not seem to resolve the issue. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
C

All of my transitions occur in the build inspector. None of them have been incorporated in to the slide inspector. My text moves in at a duration of 1.5 sec and then moves out at the same duration. And that is it. No delay on builds on the next slide. All of the slides are set up the same way. And I am working off of two monitors and there is a space that shows the next slide and it is completely blank, but I don't have a blank slide in the presentation. Thanks for any help you might have.

Clicking the Firefox icon is fine but if I open a new tab it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo (not add-ons).

Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

I have an iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3 and when I use the landscape view in Safari, the bookmark page appears and takes up one half of the screen. How can I get rid of the bookmark page so I can have the whole screen to what I am browsing?

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
Frustrated!!!

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.

2) Delete All partition and re-create

Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
