Recent updates of Firefox have removed my favorite feature: the option to choose which Tabs to reload after a force quit. Can I get this feature back?

I'm running a macbook pro on OS 10.6.8 with 2 gig of ram (maxed out). I love firefox and often open 10-20 active tabs. When Activity Monitor App tells me my ram is used up, I will often force quit firefox which frees up ram by unloading the content.
Past versions of firefox would restart with the first tab titled "this is embarrassing..." and then list the tabs that had been open. Then I could quickly scroll through that list and unclick the ones I no longer needed.
The current version 35.0 opens up all the tabs immediately after a force quit and won't let me close them without loading all the content first, again using up all of my ram.
Is there a preference setting to allow me to get this prior list funtionality, which frankly, was the feature I use the most.
Which previous version of Firefox could I devolve to in order to regain this Ram-around. (unless you want to buy me a new laptop you're about to suggest :)
Thanks for your time.
Jeff

Did you use the Reset/Refresh feature? That would uncustomize the following setting. Otherwise, it's hard to know what would have changed it.
To change what Firefox does after a crash, from trying to restore the session automatically to showing a list of windows and tabs, here's the preference you're looking for:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and change the value from 1 to 0 and OK that.

After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

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.

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?

Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

Today I updated the OX Maverisk. It turns out that the three finger gesture in the finder( go back and forward) is disabled. How can I get this function back? I love it so much!!!

Try System Preferences/Trackpad/More Gestures.

I was advised by Adobe tech on Chat that my Serial Number is for a MAC and I have a PC...but he didn't offer to change my platform...how can I get this done?

Case Number:0214213994
I was advised that my serial number for CS6 Master Collection was for MAC...I have a PC. The agent didn't offer to change platform for me which I was since advised by the college that this is what he should have done.
How can I get this done as I am rarely able to access the 24 hr chat option.

Thanks for your help Jeff...actually it turned out that Chrome was the issue and even FIrefox didn't work ....it was slow clunky old IE that eventually got me the chat option and I finally got my issue resolved.....I was getting pretty desperate and am now VERY happy to have my Master Collection back.
Sorry I don't know enough about plugins to help you there but all other functions that I need to do with Chrome work as a rule so I cannot help as far as Adobe is concerned. I know that Chrome often has shock wave errors due to incompatibility with the player on my device but otherwise I'm clueless.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Firefox 4 does not have the option of choosing which page to go back to

Previous versions of Firefox (and IE) have a down arrow as part of the page back/page forward facility. This gives the option of how many pages you can go back or forward from the current open page.
Firefox 4 no longer has this facility. This is not a posaitive move on Mozilla's part. Will it be restored at the first update?

Here on Firefox 4.01. And the option you look for is still there but they replaced it's position: it now is on the right of the URL bar together with the refresh-button and the add-bookmark-button.
Personally I think it's a bad place for that back-button because it was perfectly and logically placed where it was.

HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?

I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

Hi alanhorne00,
Ai beleza? Cara meu iPhone não funciona aqui no Brasil e é DESBLOQUEADO. Não sei se é legal mesmo, mas assim, uma ideia que surgiu assim que lei seu post seria a posibilidade de trocar né?
Moro em Sampa.
Basically the inverse problem: Live in Brazil, I paid for a factory unblocked/locked iPhone and after attempting to update / restore, it doesn't recognize my carrier SIM chip (TIM).
Unsure of legality here, but just an idea to save a little cash.
Que tal?

I purchased and downloaded a full album on itunes today, when i got home i updated my phone and lost it all, how can i get this music back without paying for it again

Today while driving home from vacation i purchased and downloaded the new Nichleback CD, when i got home, i plugged my phone into my computer to update everything and it pulled up a message saying something like "this computer has recognized an iPhone that is in memory update, you will need to restore the phone" or something similar to that, it had a picture of the power cord plugging into iTunes on the screen and i couldn't get rid of it, so i had to plug it in and restore everything, when it was done i noticed that not only did i loose the new CD that i had just purchased today but i lost all of the music that i've purchased since the last update. How can i restore this music without purchasing it all again?

Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.
