Turn off tabs that open automatically

The new Firefox announcement always opens and the Yahoo Toolbar update tab always opens. I'd like to turn them off.
I know I can go to about:config but don't know which to change.

hello Flag88, this will likely be caused by the user.js file in your profile folder.
go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js''' and restart the browser afterwards.

Help turning off feature that opens all pages and numbers docs.

How can I turn off feature that opens all numbers and pages documents each time I open the respective program?

What version of OS X are you using? That information will help in providing a specific solution.
If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
In Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
Try Mountain Tweaks The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. This solution does not work in Mavericks.

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

How can I turn off tabbed browsing in Firefox 4.0 running in windows 7? I don't want tabs at all. If it can't be done, how can I go back to a previous version?

I upgraded to 4.0 and now everything wants to open in a new tab. I don't want tabs at all. How do I turn them off? I have to use IE at work and have no problem turning off tabs there, but I haven't found the way to get rid of tabs in Firefox 4.0.

That is not standard behavior. You may have installed an extension that causes it.
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.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How can I turn off "Tabs" completely?

My Firefox just updated to the latest version. In all previous versions I was able to turn off tabbed browsing, but can not seem to find that option in the latest version. I absolutely HATE tabs. One of the reasons I continued to use Firefox was that I could shut the tabs off. If this is the way the Firefox browser is heading I will have to discontinue using it on all of our computers. We use multiple screens so that we can have any new windows pop up on the second screen and easily close them without disrupting the original browser window. Also we like to keep the browser bar at the top of the screen minimized as much as possible. With the tab bar in the way it causes the browser bar to take up too much valuable screen space. Please add the option to remove tabbed browsing back in.

Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have to click on OK EVERY TIME I open the program when I'm away from wifi.

That is how it works in general, not just for Numbers. It irritates me on other apps at times, although I can see an argument that if it didn't do that then people would complain about missing functionality after they forgot they had turned data off for an app. At any rate, this is a user to user support forum and we can't do anything about it. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, following is a place to do that: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Alarm clock on iPad turns off when I open cover:

Recently (the last 2 weeks) when I have an alarm on my iPad set to go off in the morning, this is what happens: I hear the alarm going off. I open the cover to hit snooze. In the past, when I opened the cover, I had the option of hitting snooze or ok. (Ok to turn off alarm clock alarm.). The odd thing that's been happening now is, when the alarm goes off, the minute I open the cover, the alarm stops. I can't hit snooze or OK, because opening the cover is triggering the alarm to turn off. I haven't changed any settings. No one else uses my iPad 2. It's not happening every day, just randomly. I have rebooted my iPad, but it still does it. (more often than not!). Thanks

hello timmy55525, i think tabs are such an integral part to the browser that there is no way to turn them off.

Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media. Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing. So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop. If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

When launching Firefox(5.0) there are always two TABS that open.

When launching Firefox(5.0) there are always two TABS that open, one with "What's new in Firefox" and other my homepage. Can't it be adjusted to open only one TAB (Homepage) and not the other one?

How to turn off 3G while open 2G for iphone 4s?

How to turn off 3G while open 2G for iphone 4s?

Apple removed the ability to disable 3G on the iPhone 4S. iOS 5.1 beta has added the switch back. Whether we'll see it in the final release is unknown. We'll just have to wait & see.

I want my first pin tab to be the start up page when I open Ff and not my first regular tab that opens. Any suggestions?

I have 2 pin tabs and 4 additional regular tabs that open when I start Ff. I want my start page to be the very first pin tab that I have, but instead Ff opens to the first regular tab and not the first pin tab. Any suggestions?

Ok, thanks. That's fine, but that also means if I do want Ff to open to one of my pinned tabs then I have to make sure that is the last page I was on before I exit out of Ff. Oh well. Do you know if pinned tabs will be able to open on start pages in the future? Thanks.
