Old websites visited keep popping up as tabs when I reopen the browser

As it says, I have 2 old websites that appear as tabs every time I reopen my browser. How do I get rid of them?

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

My app tabs fail to open when i reopen the browser. why?

After installing 4.0 yesterday I started experimenting with new features, including the app tabs. I closed some of the app tabs, though not all, and then as an experiment closed & reopened the browser.
Your specs say that:
All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
This did happen for me. Neither the app tabs I had open when I closed the browser nor the ones I had closed were saved. It seems that maybe this feature is not behaving as expected? There appears to be no persistence with the app tabs.

Your System Details List shows the NoSquint extension, so you can check the zoom settings in that extension.

Firefox now keeps my tabs when I close the browser if file manager is still open. Can I turn this off?

Used to be if I closed the browser while file manager was open it would close that session, and when I opened Firefox again, it would have a brand new session with the home page. Now I just get the same session as if I had only minimized the browser instead of closing it. Is there a way to change that?

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page. 
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How can I stop firefox from opening multiple tabs when I open the browser.

When I open my browser it opens a Firefox has been updated tab and a yahoo has been updated tab along with my home page. My home page settings have no extras in the address. Help

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

How do I stop Firefox from opening the Firefox start page as a tab when I open the browser?

New Dell Laptop and new Firefox download. Have used Firefox for several years. This time it loads the Firefox Start Page automatically as a tab every time I open the browser. I can't find how to turn it off. I did not set it up to do this intentionally.

See the [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] article for details of how to solve this.

HT5858 I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass

I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass word.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

After I updated my iPhone with IOS 6.1 my old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. On the Apple site the Manage my Apple ID says my old Apple ID could not be found. How do I get this to stop?

I just updated my iPhone with the newest update IOS 6.1. My old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. All the passwords I type in do not work. I no longer have access to this email which is my old Apple ID. After installing the newest software update my old Apple ID came up to finish configuring. Since I no longer have access to this Apple ID and email account and after trying some passwords I skipped the step. It then said FaceTime, iCloud (which I do not use), and more may not work. I clicked that it was OK since I could not remember the password to my old Apple ID. I then went to my settings to be sure my newer email was my Apple ID by typing in my current Apple ID and password. Also, I went to Manage my Apple ID online and my old Apple ID could not be found. Is it OK I skipped that step in the IOS 6.1 configuration? How do I get my old Apple ID to stop popping up?

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers

HT2731 How do I remove an email address that is no longer vaild for the iTunes Store? A really old email address keeps popping up on my iPhone, the email address is not valid and I have no idea what the password was. It's been over two years.

How do I remove an email address that is no longer vaild for the iTunes Store or my iPhone? A really old email address keeps popping up on my iPhone, the email address is not valid and I have no idea what the password was. It's been over two years.

Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My old Apple ID keeps popping up

My old Apple ID keeps popping up, and when I check it through apple login it is not found how do I get rid of it

Did you rename your old Apple ID to your new one (preferred) so the old one doesn't exist anymore?
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
or did you create a new Apple ID?
Where does it show up? If it's when you update Apps and you purchased Apps with the old ID, then yes, those earlier Apps are linked to the old Apple ID (another reason to rename one rather than creating a new one).
Have you signed out of the various Apple Stores from the old ID and signed in again with the new one?
Although you may be able to rename an older Apple ID, you can't delete or merge them, so if you have two or more, it's best to settle on one (especially for purchases) and either not use the others or use them for iCloud etc.
Check out Apple ID Support, which has lots of links and info.

Old apple id keeps popping up on iphone

I changed my email address for my appleID but in my Iphone 5 the old email address keeps popping up wanting me to put my password in. I have changed the address in every app and setting I can think of / find. Any suggestions?

Help! my hotmail acct that i used when i first puchased my iphone4g was hacked. so i cancled account and now have yahoo. everything on iphone was changed. only problem is trying to update facebook or my 2 other apps i have on my phone. I keeps bringing up hotmail account and asking for pw. even when entering pw it tells me it is incorrect. if i click on itunes and app's my apple id is the correct one. its really annoying because i constantly have the #3 sitting there always reminding me that they needed to be updated. If this will constanly pop up when i try to update these apps, should i just try deleting app then dl again. or just take it to apple to let them figure it out??

An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?

Here is what I did to fix it on Win 7 64-bit system:
Computer > C: > Program Files
Delete the Oberon Games File
If you have a Program Files (x86), delete it there, too.
Reboot.

So, my girlfriends old apple ID keeps popping up asking for the password. I have changed my apple ID and my Itunes ID and it still pops up. what do I do?I cant download some of my apps because of it

If you have any apps downloaded with the other AppleID, those apps
will ask for the other AppleID to update.
Downloads are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
Delete the apps associated with the unwanted ID and download them
under your ID. You will have to purchase apps that are not free.
You cannot transfer apps from one Apple ID to another, not can you
merge 2 Apple IDs.

Old apple account keeps popping up

an old apple account keeps popping up, when I want to download a new app.
i tried to reset the ipad, but that didn't work. i'm needing the pop up to reflect
my account. help is very much appreciated !!!! thanx michelle

Yes, we have been able in the past. And yes I have restored to factory settings, it now accepts the new apple account but the pop up still points to old account.
You see I bought the ipad for my hubby and set it all up for him. Then last year I changed email accounts, and told him that now is the time for him to create his new apple account with his own password etc... He never did this and now a year later, here I am trying to fix his ipad because he finaly seeked help. I created a new apple account, with of course a new pw, the ipad recognizes this but the pop up reflects the old account. The pop up reflects the old apple account and password and sends email to old email account. Last night I called the old email provider and I can have the old email reactivated for a fee of course. I think that I will go that route since there doesn't seem to be a solution for this. I have found many others who have had and still have this same problem. Definately something that needs to be looked at by Apple, we need to be able to update the pop up, I have read about people purchasing old ipads etc.... and cannot remove the previous owners off the pop up. THANX for your help, I really appreciate your efforts! michelle

Have a wrong email address which keeps popping up as a suggestion rather than the correct one which is in my contacts. How can I delete this? iPhone doesn't allow me to get to it to delete it like I can in Outlook.

I'm very glad that helped!
It's good you looked in the Manual first. Certainly not everyone does that.
With Apple products, I've found that not everything is completely documented, but sometimes if you try something that seems like it should work, it actually does work.
That's how I personally learned about this feature.
Enjoy your Apple gear!

To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with AppleScript Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Note: you may have to Control (right) - click on the app after uncompressing and select Open due to the Sandboxing feature of OS X. If you have problems with the app create your own with AppleScript Editor.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
