The following message keeps coming up on my screen and I have to close it before I can do anything "can not open connection device. How can I stop this message.

My MacBook pro

I know this is gonna be a very general tech question but you didnt say in your post.
Are you still using the device that was giving that warning?

The web pages are coming larger than my screen and I have no scroll bars?

when I open firefox the web pages exceed the physical screen even the icons are flowing outside the perameter. I no longer have a scrol bar to scroll. My google chrome is fine so it is a firefox problem

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off. 
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. 
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Sounds like your sharing the same apple id. settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

I keep receiving FireFox Plugin update notice everytime I open Firefox, when I update, it does not acknowledge it and keeps loading me the update notice everytime I open Firefox. HOW DO I STOP THIS?

I'm having no problems with my plugins, I'm having problems with the NOTICE of plugin updates opening before my desired webpage does. How do I stop this?

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox keeps coming up as my homepage and I have tried every suggestion listed under that problem. I never had this problem until two days ago

I have a gateway NV53A laptop. My homepage has always been http://www.yahoo.com/?ilc=1. Suddenly about 2 days ago, it started coming up as Mozilla.org and no matter what I do it will not stay as the yahoo.com homepage. I have followed every one of the directions listed for people who had the same kind of problem and it will fix it until I shut down or restart the computer. If I have to just get rid of Mozilla I will do that because I have now spent 2 days on this and I'm sick of it. I have done the thing with the preferences, the thing with setting up your homepage, the thing with getting rid of the pref.js and it just comes back and it still goes to firefox. I have right clicked the pref tab and it isn't locked. So if you can help me then that would be great but I have just about decided it is a lost cause.

How can I fix this problem. I got the following for Adobe Reader that there was an issue with it. C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\NPSWF32.dll file

Try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html then reinstall.

When I close Firefox and then try to open it, it says it is already running and I have to close it which I can't do. The only way to open it is to first restart my computer which is a pain. If I can't fix this I will use an other brouser!

I am not sure what more I can tell you. I close firefox. So when I click on the icon it should allow me to open it again but I get a message that says it is already running. Either close it out which I can't do since I already did that or restart the computer.

Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

When setting the midi port for an external device, how do I stop this altering the port setting for a separate external device?

I am using Logic Pro 9.1.7.
I have an EMU sampler set to port D.
And a Roland JV 2080 set to port B.
The ports refer to an external M-Audio Midisport midi interface.
When creating a new track (brand new, not as a duplicate of another) for sounds from the Roland and setting port B in the Inspector, I find this affects certain existing tracks set to port D that are using sounds from the EMU. The latter tracks are converted to port B. I note that only some, not all, tracks are affected.
If I try to change the EMU tracks back to port D, then the Roland track also switches to port D! And so on...
Each device has a 16-channel "instrument" in the Environment (but no virtual wiring anywhere).
Usually, setting channels, banks and programs in the Event List for each track has been able to make things work reasonably well.
Any suggestions that I could explore would be welcome. Thanks.

I haven't checked this with instrument tracks, could it possibly be you have somehow de-selected Universal Track Mode in Preferences/Audio? It should be enabled.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?

A warning keeps appearing every 10 minutes indicating the disk was not ejected properly. How do I stop this warning?

The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off.
To eject a disk, select it in the Finder and choose File Eject. The next time you connect the disk, Mac OS X will attempt to repair any damage to the information on the disk.

Try mounting a disk, then ejecting it properly, see if that helps. Please post back with results.

When I try to open firefox, it says that a session is already running and I need to close it before I can run another session, I cannot find the session that's running, what can I do?

This happens after I have used firefox and exited the program. When I try to reuse the program I get this message. Is there a setting within firefox causing this or ??? I have tried to locate the session running without any luck. Would appreciate any help. I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it, but nothing has changed it continues to malfunction.

Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?

Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.
