Pressing Alt+F4 closes the current window but also chages to tty4.

Hello, I don't know what may be causing this, but I've just realized that pressing Alt+F4 changes to tty4 besides closing the current window.
I'm running Gnome here, does anybody happen to come across this?

It is. Pressing Alt+F4 while in X session shouldn't bring you to tty.

Firefox lags too much when i download and close the current window, then try to open a new window. why?

ok, everytime i download something the download window pops up, so i let it download and i like to keep it open so i can monitor my downloads. now, the problem is when i close the current firefox browser window and try to re-open a new one. my firefox browser window starts lagging/hangs very bad when i open up a new browser window. i have my settings set up to clear my history everytime i close my firefox, so i was wondering why it does this? is it because my history gets cleared and i still have my download window opened?

Have a look at this post, see if it is of any help (though related to Vista, but same issue can be there with Window 7 also)

I had a problem with my mouse double(multiple) clicking when I didn't want it to, now pressing enter in a window like this will close the current window and open one of my Taboo sites, and the cursor keys don't work.

This happens in any text entry window, but there is no problem with Wordpad or Word or other apps, just in Firefox. It's like the keyboard mapping has gotten fouled up in Firefox, but I can't find where I might check what is going on.

You may have '''Switched ON Caret Browsing'''. press '''F7 (on Mac: fn + F7)''' to toggle '''Caret Browsing ON/OFF'''
* click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> remove
Checkmark from '''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''

Check and tell if its working.

When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

Command quit will close the iTunes window but won't quit the iTunes app

iTunes 12.1.0.50
Command quit will close the iTunes library window... but won't quit the iTunes app properly.
The iTunes icon in the dock still says the app is live... click the icon in the dock and the library window pops up again.
On the second try the app will always close properly.

I had the same problem: after updating to iTunes 9.1 (no errors) I just couldn't launch it. In Task Manager I saw that the iTunes process was running but it never really opened.
After nights of frustration of scanning the net for solutions I finally managed to get iTunes to run again.
1) Firstly I deleted the new iTunes 9.1 and all programmes associated with it according to the directions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It also mentions you should remove the Bonjour service but I could never make that work (no privileges or something like that).
2) After that I reinstalled a previous version of iTunes. In this case 9.0.3.15. I got the download here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
3) Then I disabled the Bonjour service with the MSCONFIG method mentioned at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
There they state that you should check which service clashes with Windows by trying to disable one service at a time. I found out pretty quickly that it was just the Bonjour service that caused the problems. All other services could run normally.
After the reboot iTunes finally started up again and I was able to restore my library.
Only thing is that I can not use the Remote App on my iPod Touch. That apparently required the use of Bonjour.
I hope this method helps for some of you!
Cheers,
Bart

Firefox cannot open/reload any websites after resuming from a system standby. I have to close the current window and start a new session, then it works again

I am using Firefox v 13.0.1 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical 1.0) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Whenever my system resumes from standby I am not able to open/load any webpages in the Firefox session that was already running before the standby. I don't get any error message, but the page doesn't load at all. If I close the session and start a new one everything works fine.

Not necessarily: rv:1.9.2.8 indicates a Firefox 3.6.8 version

Close the current UI and open another one

Hello everyone,
I've got the following code and I want to close the current window and open another one. When i use "System.exit(1);" it closes everything when I use "this.dispose()" it doesn't close anything what could I try to get this to work? any suggestions?

        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
thanks in advance :o)

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but...:
dFrame.setVisible(false) hides the current Frame and the application is still running

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

FF4 wont move a tab to a new window. The new window opens fine but the existing tab stays on the current window. What's wrong?

I just upgraded to firefox 4. I'm using session manager extension.
I have multiple tabs open in my firefox window and I want to move some tabs to a new window. I followed the support guide which tells how to do this, however, when I drag the tab off the current window, the new window gets opened as it should, but the tab I was trying to move stays in the current window and does not get moved to the new one. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
Mick

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I can't finish the installation because a window tells to close the SafariNotificati application, but i haven't got anything open other that the Creative cloud window

I can't finish the installation of Acrobat XI Pro, because a window pops up and tells me to close the SafariNotificati application, but i haven't got anything open other that the Creative cloud window, it always stops at 42%, what can I do? All other applications downloaded without any problem

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

I've downloaded ADE 4.0.3, apparently successfully, and I 'Close the 'Completed' window. But, when I attend to run the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then ... ... nothing! Clearly I can't authorize my computer for download. Ideas?

Try restarting your machine and Launch ADE again

Programmatically close the current sequence's window

Is there a way to programmatically close the current sequence’s window in order to reload it if it was modified or to load another sequence (programmatically)?

Do you want to close it from the UI? Because I don't think you can do it from the Seq. Editor????
From TestStand Help:
CloseSequenceFile Method
Syntax
ApplicationMgr.CloseSequenceFile ( file)
Return Value
Boolean
Returns whether the sequence file was successfully closed.
Purpose
Closes a sequence file.
Remarks
The Application Manager control attempts to close the sequence file by generating a QueryCloseSequenceFile event. The QueryCloseSequenceFile event confirms whether to release the file and remove the file from the SequenceFiles collection. If the sequence file is running in an execution or if other references to the sequence file exist, TestStand does not immediately unload the file from memory.
Parameters
file As SequenceFile
[In] Specifies the sequence file to close.
OpenSequenceFile Method
Syntax
ApplicationMgr.OpenSequenceFile ( sequenceFilePath)
Return Value
SequenceFile
Returns the opened sequence file, if successful. If a type conflict occurs when loading the file and the conflict prevents TestStand from opening the file, this method returns NULL. If an error occurs while opening the file, this method throws an exception.
Purpose
Opens a sequence file.
Remarks
This method adds the sequence file to the SequenceFiles collection and generates the SequenceFileOpened and DisplaySequenceFile events.
Parameters
sequenceFilePath As String
[In] Specifies the path of the sequence file to load. If you do not pass an absolute path, this method searches for the file using the TestStand search paths.
Hope that helps,

I am in need of a weather and stock widget, similiar to the ones on the iphone 4s, that allow you to display current stocks and weather in the notification window but i need it for the ipad2.

the iphone 4s came with a weather and a stock widget. these could be configured in notifications to CONSTANTLY display stock prices and the days weather whenever you pulled down the notification window. the ipad2 doesn't have these programs and i have spend a small fortune and time looking for this same feature. does anyone out there know off a weather and stock program that will let you program stocks into the notification window and then stream the stocks and prices acrossthe screen continously when you open the notification window. Also does anyone know of a weather program that will display the days current conditions ALL THE TIME, not just when the wind picks up or it snows.
the ipad2 doesn't have these built in programs and i can't find similiar ones in the app store.
Thanks for your help.

I have this question too. Have you had any replies?

How can I close the current tab in Firefox v 17.0.1?

I have used Firefox for years and have always used Tabs instead of opening new windows. I have always been able to click the little "X" on the right side of the tab to close it. I am finding now that I cannot close the current tab by doing this. I have to click on another open tab and then click on the other tab I wanted to close.
I have looked through the Options many times trying to see if there is a setting I need to change, but have not found anything.
Is it possible in this version of Firefox (v17.0.1) to close the current tab?

I started Firefox in SAFE MODE and the problem went away. I checked for updates and all were up to date. I then restarted Firefox and it worked fine. Since I didn't really do anything, I am curious as to why it is now working as expected. I am glad, but still curious.
Thank you.

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)
