  • On first open, FF opens tabs for some addons websites

    when addons are updated, FF restarts and the websites of the updated addons open in tabs to let u know those addons were updated and to be able to check their website fa further info (changelog, etc)...
    however firefox is now opening addon sites (first only from download helper and now including tab mix plus), even tho those addons werent updated...
    i have a screenshot i can send if its possible...
    this only happens when firefox first opens, as long as its open, any other instances of firefox open correctly with just a blank tab and no other website tabs...
    i downgraded to FF v16 bc i cant get tab mix plus in 17 and i hate how firefox handles tabs, so i will not upgrade until tab mix plus works with v 17...as an aside...i always use the previous version of FF until tab mix plus works with whatever th current version is...

  • The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

    Question
    The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

    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.<br />
    <br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

    How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
    I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

    Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
    Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

  • Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Installed 3.6.8 and now cannot switch from one open tab to another

    my home page automatically opens 4 tabs, I updated to 3.6.8 on my mac laptop. Now when the tabs are open I cannot go from one open tab to another even though the tabs are still up.

    Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it.  Don't use Software Update.

  • I'm getting messages of "script issues" when I am using an open tab for FACEBOOK.

    I have an open tab, for MOZILLA FIREFOX AND another tab of mozilla firefox for FACEBOOK. As I'm using facebook, it starts running slower and slower, sticking in place and then finally,... a notice of a "script issue". I've had well over a dozen script issues, with firefox crashing..........

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

    Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
    Mac OSX 10.7.2
    Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
    I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
    Thanks

    Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
    Add a filter with the following parameters:
    Sender contains:    "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
    Subject contains:  "Your First Name"
    Email body contains: "iCloud"
    Don't need to match case on anything. 
    So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
    Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together

  • Why does plugin box freeze up when I click on an options tab for an addon?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794712''
    Win 7/ 64bit. When I click on the options tab for an addon the box freezes up. The X in the upper right will not work. I have to to go windows task manager to end the box. But the firefox browser works fine. Its only when I hit the options tab for an addon. I can disable, install, or uninstall with no problems.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14
    When I click on a mailto: link, Firefox freezes. This is new for me as of 3.6.14 (not sure if it existed in prior versions because I hadn't clicked a mailto: in a while).

  • I updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    i updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    To show the battery percentage used go to settings
    from there click general scroll to usage and select
    scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
    This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
    When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.
    FYI I sent reply to you not to deggie. You can have your own satisfaction to reply direct.

  • Firefox continually opens tabs about latest updated add-ons

    Every time I open/start Firefox, in addition to my previously opened tabs (if any), it opens (or has started opening) an additional... 4-7 tabs...
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/33.1/whatsnew/?oldversion=31.0
    http://update.downloadhelper.net/index.html
    http://fnvfox.appspot.com/thankyou.html
    http://www.clickvideodownload.com/getting_started.php
    http://inbasic.net/index.html?v=3.9.3&p=3.9.1&type=upgrade
    http://fvdconverter.com/page/welcome-firefox
    The "Mozilla Firefox Start Page"
    and (sometimes?) a "New Tab" consosting of the 'most frequent' pages...*
    * Refuses t update itself...Such as whe/if I unpin previously pinned sites in order to re-arrange them... [<places 1, 4,5,6 pinned> ...adjust it by unpinning 4-6 and re-pin them in/to places 2-4>]... Every time FF closes and re-opens, it resets to the previous 1,4,5,6 pins, with the EXACT SAME pages in the unpinned places... Deleting and repinning, or changing up the pinned pages does nothing for the long run...when the browser ENDS and stats up again...Back to the previous "setup"
    Wanting/needing help getting it to STOP opening the unwanted "thank you for updating / latest changes to" tabs, and updating the most recent tabs/sites collection.

    1. Start Firefox
    * Done
    2. Close the unwanted tabs
    * Done
    3. Wait 2 minutes
    * Done...repeatedly to the point that there's been -HOURS- between FF sessions.
    4. Restart Firefox and see if the tabs still appear on startup.
    * Done, and -YES-
    I have attached a number of images.. They are as follows:
    FF_BEFORE_restart.png -- Showing the current tabs opened, also depicting the "New Tab" window and it's 'speed dial' offering of most viewed pages
    FF_ADJUSTED_Speed_Dial_window.png -- Showing (generally) how I put my speed dial windows.
    FF_AFTER_Restart.png -- FireFox AFTER closing it and restarting it.
    FF_RESET-Speed_Dial_Window.png -- The New Tab tab/window as it appears after adjusting, de-cluttering and "prettyfying" it.
    You CAN ignore the 2nd & 4th pictures, as that problem isn't immediatly important...But yes, so far, closing the "excess" tabs, closing [waiting] and re-starting does nothing other than starts FF, closes the tabs, and restarts the browser...Only to have the annoyingly unwanted tabs in question reappear.

  • Firefox keeps switching to newly opened tabs, although the option to do so is turned off. How can I stop this?

    When I open a link in a new tab the browser's focus switches to the tab right beside the one in current use more often than it does the one just opened.
    I would much prefer it to not switch to tabs automatically unless it is a blank tab being opened. The option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" unchecked, yet it still switches to the tab right beside [adjacent] the current one, even if the newly opened tab is ten tabs away. It will stop for a while if I turn it on, save, then turn it back off, but returns after Firefox has been closed and reopened.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox Home only shows my open tabs but not my bookmarks

    Since you last updated the firefox home application for iphone. My bookmarks have disappeared and it only shows my open tabs from other computers. I try to refresh but after some "thinking time, the application crashes.
    Thanks

    When updating to version 36, if you are updating from more than two versions before, the session file structure changed in your profile. This is now in sessionstore-backups folder. However this should not affect if updating from 35.
    Are these also greyed out:
    Recently Closed Tabs & Recently Closed Windows
    It is greyed out "either due to:
    * your startup setting ([[Startup, home page and download settings]])
    * Firefox recovering from a crash during shutdown, or
    * a user.js file overriding your normal startup setting (your system info doesn't show the third file, so I think we can rule that out)"
    For future times that this may happen, the add on: session-manager is a nice backup to have.

  • Firefox automatically switches to newly opened tabs, have tried reinstallation already.

    Ever since I updated my firefox a month or two ago I now switch to any new tabs opened within my browser....And yes, I know there is an option that says "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately." This is obviously unchecked. On my laptop there is no issue with this, when I open a number of things into tabs they all file in right behind one another and I can switch over to them when I wish to. Now on my desktop PC, if I go to open a few successive tabs I will automatically switch to each newly opened tab and have to go to my original window to continue what I was doing.

    I only use the default theme on Firefox. I would say it does it the worst on websites such as Facebook, if I open multiple tabs on different people or groups or events etc. it will start tabbing me over one...if that makes any sense. So I open up 3 tabs and then I go to open up another tab and it will then shift my screen one tab over
