Turn off the feature that automatically maximizes the web browser so that I can perpetually see my open tabs.

Like two weeks ago, Firefox was normal and kick ass as per usual. Then I realized that Firefox had changed - when you are doing stuff in a tab for a particular website that you're browsing, Firefox now does this hella annoying thing where it "maximizes" your view of the website and conceals from view your other working tabs. There used to be like an orange button that said Firefox in the top left that had a dropdown menu of commonly used features, like the download manager and bookmarks. This was all super convenient. It was bright, discernible and all of the tabs that I was working with were simultaneously viewable. Now, what happens is, if you reach to the upper portion of a tab for a website you are viewing, it "unmaximizes" the window and reveals the once concealed tabs, which is WICKED DUMB because all it does is change the orientation of the web page so that the link you were once reaching for is now outside of the trajectory of your mouse, thus causing epilepsy inducing madness of page flicker; not to mention it kills time to have to reorient your mouse because of a feature that doesn't even help anything. I personally use a computer for work, not entertainment, like the majority of porn watching freaks of nature on this thing. It should just be something you can turn off easily. Sorry to be so mad, but I thought maybe i could get used to it, and it's honestly just one of the most nauseating features on any piece of software I have ever come across. Thanks!

OMG thank you. I had just never done that in all the time I have used firefox. I mean, ish happens, I guess. Thanks for telling me how to turn it off. Now I can go back to finishing my Master's Degree [while simultaneously relocating to southern CA from NJ and taking care of my palliative, stage 4 bladder cancer ridden father] in peace (which when you're spread as thin as I am right now, you WOULD do something as dumb as hit F11 and not know how to un-hit it). Haha. Namaste!

  • How do i turn off the web cam? I shot camera?

    I have a MacBook and the  camera/web cam is on. How do I shut it off?

    Hi
    The camera should turn off automatically when no software is using it. As it's on all the time, it's possible that you have a login item which is automatically starting up and turning on the camera.  Removing this login item should make the camera turn off until you need it.
    To check login items, run System Preferences > Accounts
    Select your personal account
    Go to the Login Items tab
    Deselect every option
    Save/exit then log out and log back in again
    With any luck, this should fix it

    Help me get the throbber turned off. The spinning thing makes me sick, dizzy, nauseated!

    Thank you Chris.  Yes  I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off.  All the forums visited said it was under general.  I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly.  Susie

  • Apple must allow only owner can turn off iPhone by his password. Otherwise the thief can turn off the phone and run away, owner can not trace him.

    I lost my iPhone 5 months ago. The thief just turned off my iPhoen and ran way. Even I set password for my iPhone but he can turn it off and of course I can not trace my iPhone by using FIND MY iPHONE. Apple should consider this situation. Thanks

    Tell Apple.

  • So according to apple I must turn off all features that make an iPhone an iPhone to have my iPhone 4s battery last an entire day! ***!!

    This battery problem is a joke. I spoke to two ape care reps and they both said that I was the first pesron they have spoken to with a battery problem!

    You are under the mistaken assumption that we're Apple here.  We're users, just like you.

  • Help! Turn off the automatic alphabetizer

    Every iTunes songlist I make automatically alphabetizes every song in the list.
    There's no way to turn off this feature that I have discovered.

    Are you trying to drag in a playlist or in a smart playlist?
    You can't arrange your library or a smart playlist by dragging. You can only choose to sort by one of the columns.
    You can drag songs up and down a regular playlist if you click in the column shown here:

  • How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?  - It's making me sick!

    How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
    Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
    I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
    I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
    Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
    Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
    Good luck.

  • How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

    All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

    In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • Mail can not quit every time when i try to turn off the computer

    looking forward to get an idea here.

    This issue seemed to resolve itself.  Case closed. 

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.
