Some tabs wont allow me to close them unless i restart the browser

Every time i open firefox the last tab that is open won't allow me to close it with out restarting the browser.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

Why not just... put an X on it?

Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

Ok, my former computer crashed and i have a new one. i would like to sync my ipod with the new one, but it wont allow me to with out removing all of the data on it. How can i fix this?

When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. Pls guide me.

Dear sir,
When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. This problem was not there in the older versions less than 3.6.8. Even the browser speed has gone down. This is everyday problem with this browser.
Pls suggest ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

My Ipad mini keeps going through various applications all by itself and won't allow me to close them

My Ipad keeps going through my contacts, e-mail, ITunes, types by itself and will go through these apps over and over again. I can close them while in the process but just as I close them with the home button it starts right up again. I have tried closing all the open apps by double clicking the home button, which it will show the screen of all the apps but when I try to hold them down to delete them it doesn't respond. I have tried hard reset twice by holding the home button and the top button until the apple logo appears but this hasn't worked.

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!

When I open Pages, it opens all previous documents. But I cannot close them:if I try, the program crashes

Hello everyone.
Since middle february, Pages has not been working properly.
When I start the program, it opens by default a blank page. That was fine until recently. I would simply close it and open my desired document. But now I cannot close the blank document: if I do it, the program crashes.
I have bypassed the problem by simply minimizing the blank one and going along with my own documents... Unfortunately now the problem has increased, as it will not close any document.
Therefore when I start the program, it will re-open all the documents and it will crash all the time I try to close them.
Also, It will not let me save them or turn themm to PDF.
What can I do ?
I have also removed the previous software and I bought (again) Pages on the App Store last week... results: NONE!! it still won't work.
HEEEELLLPPPPP
thank you

Hello
I was warned of your problem by Jerrold.
As I'm really besy this evening, I didn't read carefully the available message.
What you get is a Lion's feature named "Resume".
If you dislike me (as I do but I don't feel useful to rant against it) there are several ways to get rid of it.
(1) In theory, it's sufficient to uncheck a box in the General System PrefPane.
I wrote « in theory » because, at least in the French version this feature is broken.
(2) Some third party tools are delivered to rule the feature's behavior for each application.
Here are two free ones :
Lion Tweaks ( http://ifredrik.com/applications/ )
TinkerTool ( http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html )
(3) As none of them apply on my French System, I designed a home made brute force tool.

Save this script as as Script and store it in the folder :

On my machine, thanks to FastScripts, I attached a shortcut to this script.
So, when I press cmd +option + ctrl + Q I get this dialog :
On an English System, the buttons are :
Cancel, Restart, Shutdown.
When we trigger the last two, the folder storing the dats required by the system to apply « Resume » is emptied so when we restart the machine no extraneous window is opened.
I didn't described the way to reach the folder named Scripts.
I'm sur that Jerrold will do that with a better English.

Firefox will not open certain websites, unless I close and restart the browser. Anyone hear of this ?

Some webpages, for example newegg.com, will not open at all. But if I close ff and then restart ff - newegg.com will load up almost instantly. Yahoo's pages have problems as well - especially if there is a video with a news article. Many times - there simply wont even be a placeholder. I will read the article - and then realize there should be a video accompanying it - I'll have to view in IE - which I hate.

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

Firefox stops working and I have to close and restart the browser to get it to work again.

I am using a dell laptop with windows 8 I have a wireless connection. Firefox stops responding, I can be on say, facebook and if I try doing something it won't do it, I can't click on a new tab to open i can't click home. My wireless gives me no indication that I have lost a signal or that it is weak. The only way to get the browser to respond is to close it and reopen it.
It's not just on facebook it's on every site I go to that it does this so it's not a site problem. I get no error message unless I manage to open a tab and it says the connection has reset then tells me to check everything and I do and everything is fine.

If it works in Windows Safe mode then you likely have a problem with your security software that is blocking Firefox and possibly other browser.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
You may need to ask advice at the support site of that software if you can't fix it via the setup of that software.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

A tab bar was installed, but isan't showing up in the browser bar?

I was on www.ButtonBeats.com, and I clicked the page that gave you the proper information on how to record audio from the site. The web site gives you a link to www.FreeCorder.com, and It shows a download link for the software, and the tab bar for Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Fire Fox... So half way between the download it would open up Mozilla Fire Fox, and it would leave a blank page. When the download is finished it would save the tab bar to Mozilla Fire Fox, or Internet Explorer. So after every thing is done it would ask in to top left corner "would u like to restart Fire Fox". So I hit restart. Then when Fire Fox opens the tab bar doesn't show up on the browser bar. So I clicked on the Fire Fox button on the top left of the screen, hit the add on option, and it would show that the tab I installed was indeed installed and is a part of Fire Fox. The problem is you need the tab bar to record music from the site. That action is done by clicking on a record button on the tab bar witch isn't showing up in the browser?

Hit the orange Firefox button and open Options - is there a Freecorder bar in that list under the 2nd Options menu item?

The arrows on the ends of the list of tabs wont allow me to scroll through them.

When a list of tabs gets long enough that the tabs go off the page, two arrows appear at either end that allow me to scroll through them but now theyre not working, what can I do?

If you start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]], does it work? It is possible there is an extension causing problems.

Somehow there is no longer a blank tab, to create one I HAVE to go to the File- NewTab menu, and no tabs have an "X" to close them when I'm done.

Firefox 5.0 ... came to the computer tonight, only one tab showed on starting Firefox, there was not the usual "extra" blank tab that always appears past however many one has in use. Further, that one tab has no "X" on its right side, nor does any other tab if I use File->NewTab to open a second or more tab. The ONLY way to close a tab is to right-click it and scroll down to "close tab".
Further, several options in the Tools->Options boxes are simply not there, such as under the "saved passwords" box. There is no option to see the saved passwords!

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Do you still have the Bookmarks Toolbar visible?
* [[Restore the default Smart Bookmarks Folders]]
Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that you have the Bookmarks Toolbar and the Navigation Toolbar visible: "View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
