Opening Hotmail in Firefox closes Firefox and opens IE

Today when I tried to open Hotmail from Firefox 12, Firefox closed and IE opened up. I've tried several times and the same thing happens. I noticed my homepage had changed to Ask.com as well - not sure if this is coincidence or related.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

With multi tabs open I go to close Firefox 5.0 and it will not keep the tabs there it closes all tabs

With multi tabs open I go to close Firefox 5.0 and it will not keep the tabs there it closes all tabs so when I restart I have to re-open the tabs. I was using 3.6 firefox and had the option to close but keep the tabs so they would open when I re-started firefox.

upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD. Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again. Any ideas?

That doesn't actually sound like a problem. If you were viewing "My Songs", switch apps then go back to GB this what should happen. If you were playing an instrument then it should restart with that instrument selected etc. However if you can't get from the "My Songs" display to a song then I guess something is amiss.
More drastic troubleshooting steps would be...
Remove the app and reinstall it or
Backup and then restore the device.

Open PIR quantity, unconverted Pld orders and open Prod/ STO orders

Dear all,
How to deal with open PIR quantity, unconverted planned orders and open production/ STO orders in the next MRP run? Do we need to delete/ reduce them manually?
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for your immediate response. I have still some confusion.
Last month, I have material A with Production order quantity of 30000.
'A' has a component 'B' which is an in-house produced material. Three planned orders each of 10000 were generated for B. Of these two planned orders were converted to production orders. One is still in planned order form.
This month I am not going to use this planned order of B. I get new requirement for A. So during MRP run I get the planned orders for B also.
For the last month requirement, as I have not converted one planned order of B to prod order, there will an open quantity of A prod order in this plant and open STO quantity in another plant. Again the PIR will also be not reduced to the same extent. If I reduce the PIR manually or through some reorganization, what about the open quantity of prod order and STO
I think I can TECO the prod order of A. Is there any such thing for STO also?
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

Why does Firefox close after being opened for too long with no activity?

I need to leave an image loop playing on my computer continuously but the internet browser seems to time out after being opened for more than 14 hours. Is there a way to keep my internet browser opened with out activity for as long as I choose?

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
'''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}

How do i make it so it ask me to save all open tabs when i close firefox.

it use to do this automatically when i had the old Firefox but now it never ask i like this feature and would like to know were it is hidden in new Firefox or if it is no longer available is there a add-on that does the same thing

Firefox 4 and later versions save 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:

Close tabs and open links in new tab with middle click

Until recently I was able to close tabs by middle clicking them or open new tabs by middle clicking them. Recently however Firefox either is no longer recognizing my middle clicks or is not processing them in the same way.
I tried looking in the about:config functions for functions including 'middle' in an attempt to find the configuration option for this but didn't find anything. I need to identify how to configure it first so I can attempt that.

I have this problem as well, and tried basically everything. Even a fresh install (didn't help). I have this issue (using the same Logitech LX3) since I switched from Firefox 3.x to 4.x and now 5.x, all on Windows 7.
Basically, the middle mouse button behavior is totally unreliable. Most of the times, it doesn't work at all. However, sometimes it does, but then it may take up many seconds (keeping the middle button pressed) until the tab finally opens... and then it often opens multi. Sometimes the tab(s) open after X seconds while the middle mouse button is still pressed, sometimes it opens after the button was released.
It seems to be a bit better in Private Browsing mode, though. Can't really be more specific: sometimes the middle mouse button opens the new tab after seconds in "using tab x, page y, link z", while it doesn't work on exactely that same page on "using tab x, page y, link z" after doing nothing for 5 minutes.

Firefox closes unexpectedly and there seems to be no correlation between each time it closes.

Firefox has been closing a lot lately. Normally it wouldn't bother me much. I don't recall what I was doing each time, but I do know that it has happened only when I let it sit on a single page for a while. This time I was writing up a very long reply to something in the Gaia Online forums. I also had Facebook and a Wikia site open in different tabs. I'm displeased because I lost what I was working on, and Firefox completely froze and I was unable to copy my work. Finally it closed and I had to start it up again. There was no problem bringing it back up.
I am unable to supply Crash IDs, because I have never been asked to do this. Nothing comes up. It just closes. That's it.
I'm thinking it could be because Firefox is a complete resource hog. My CPU usage consistently goes up and down from 86-100%. I disabled Java, as I read somewhere that this may help. It hasn't. Updating Flash is out of the question, because I have frequently attempted this, yet the update never appears to work with Firefox, but it does with Internet Explorer (which I don't use because it's so slow).
I'm quite frustrated. Firefox was working perfectly for the first few months I used it. I've ran scans, and there appears to be no malware or the like. I run SuperAntiSpyware on my computer, as it was able to get rid of Vundo when nothing else I tried would (I used AVG for a while).

Hello Eiden.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem... Well... This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist. Report here the results, so we can't help you further.

Display goes off when close lid and open it again [Lenovo G580]

Hi everybody,
I have a problem due a new update, when I close laptop lid and open it again, there's nothing on screen (like power off laptop) and webcam's light is on! when turning on my laptop it would be on for a second, but it freeze on this state, I think the problem is with kernel but i'm not sure cause i've updated everything.
And this problem occur in both X and other tty.
I'm not sure it should belong here or I should move it Hardware/Kernel section.
Kernel: Linux GNU 3.14.0-4-ARCH
Xorg-server: 1.15.0-5
Nvidia: 334.21-4
everything is updated.

Sometimes when working in an open tab it suddenly pops out and opens as a window. Very frustrating.

I usually have 4 to 6 tabs open at a time. I start with gmail, facebook, twitter and igoogle and add more as I'm working.
Sometimes though, the tab I'm working in FB or gmail or other, will suddenly leave the window with multiple tabs and open a new window with just the site I was working in.

Hello khoopes, how often is that ? do you have it soon enough , like one time in ten clicks on a tab ? can you check it in safe mode ?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
thank you

Why do the same tabs open every time I boot up and open FF

I shut down my laptop every night. Use to when I rebooted and opened FF the browser would ask if I wanted to open the previous days tabs or start a new session. FF does not do that any more it just starts up with the same tabs I looked at a week ago. And when I go to the Most Visited link in FF and delete the tabs I don't want opened they open anyway......how do I fix this.

try this:
go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS''' then '''GENERAL''' then in session '''When firefox starts''' put '''SHOW MY HOME PAGE''', click '''OK''' to save changes, then exit firefox and re-start it.
If you have 1 home page then firefox when it starts this page it will open only, if you have 2, this 2 etc.
thank you
