There is an ad that popped up but it is not allowing me to close it. When I try to shut down the program another window opens asking if I was to navigate away from the page. Even if I select "yes" nothing happens. What do I do to get rid of this?

the name at the top of the tab is "You are today's lucky winner" and all it says on the page is "Congratulations! You won an Apple iPad2. Read below for details". But it just WON'T go away!!!

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

  • Firefox crashes every time I try to navigate away from a page to a different site.

    It seems to only happen when I have more than one tab open, but every time I try to navigate away from the originally opened page, it crashes. This has just started happening today (3/19/14) and I have tried to resetting Firefox but it did not remedy the problem.

    hello, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter '''about:crashes''' into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.

  • Hotmail automatically navigates away from send page on new (to me) macbook.

    So I got my parents a macbook for home use, they're using safari. When using a hotmail account, and you try to reply to or send a new email, the page opens, then automatically navigates away from the sending page to the inbox. This makes it impossible to send any emails? It is almost instantaneous, in that it opens the new email page, holds for maybe 1 sec, then back to inbox.
    I assume it's a settings issue? I have no idea. It happens in multiple hotmail accounts, but only in hotmail accounts, not yahoo, etc. And these hotmail accounts send emails perfectly from other computers.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    Might be a cookie problem.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click "Show Cookies".
    Delete all Hotmail / Microsoft cookies.
    Quit Safari either from the menu bar, Safari / Quit Safari or Option + Command + E on the keyboard.
    Try Hotmail.
    If there's still a problem, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If there are any Extensions installed, turn that off then try again.
    And try resetting Safari. Back to the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Try again.
    Just restarting a Mac can help too.

  • Firefox keeps asking me if im sure I want to navigate away from a page

    I keep getting a message everytime I click on a link especially in Facebook asking me if I am sure I want to navigate away from the current page. Firefox never used to do this and I was wondering if there is some way I can turn it off

  • Since updating firefox it constantly crashes when i navigate away from the homepage

    I have recently updatedFirefox to the latest version, but since doing this it crashes when i navigate away from the homepage

    Problem solved.I removed mozillateam/stable repo from my sources list.Then removed firefox using 'apt-get remove firefox' and then installed firefox after a restart.Also removed '.mozilla' folder in my home directory which was probably the root of this problem.Now replaced my previous profile FF 10 woking great.

    Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

    Probably safe to assume if you can no longer turn it on, you probably have hardware damage. Take it in to an Apple store or Authorized Service center to have it checked out, but the warranty will not covver this.

  • Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

    Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

    The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
    Did you manually check for updates?

  • HT203200 Whenever i open iTunes it tells me that 2 of my downloads cannot be completed because the file may be corrupted. I cannot get rid of this message or complete the downloads. Other downloads worked. What can i do to get rid of this warning message

    Whenever i open iTunes it tells me that 2 of my downloads cannot be completed because the file may be corrupted. I cannot get rid of this message or complete the downloads. Other downloads worked. What can i do to get rid of this warning message or complete the downloads?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • I Have iTunes since 2008. I have changed computers and I know have old libraries but iTunes do not locate a lot of songs when I try to play it. How can I correct this situation?

    I Have iTunes since 2008. I have changed computers and I know have old libraries in my Hard Disk but iTunes do not locate a lot of songs when I try to play it. How can I correct this situation?

    When iTunes say that try to find the file you want iTunes to play in your iTunes > Media folder.  If iTunes offers to find others, let it. If it does not find them all you will have to find them yourself or re-add the files from your drive to iTunes (use Automatically Add to iTunes folder).

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

    In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

    Try using this extension. <br />
