How can I stop firefox from checking add-ons and displaying the What's new page each time I launch it

Since upgrading to the latest version, I have viewed read and interacted with everything on the What's new page. I have done this a number of times but the page is still opened each time I launch Firefox. In addition it shows my homepage in a second tab.
Prior to opening Firefox it checks for add-ons.

hello Michells, 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.

Why Firefox 5 opening the "What's new" page every time I start the browser?

I have Firefox betas since version firefox 4 beta 1, so when it's updated to version 5, I uninstalled firefox, and install the clean version 5 with my saved settings.
Everything went okay, started the browser and it searched for addon compatibility, opened up the What's new page. But now it is for every start, so it's very annoying.
I tried clean the mess but nothing changed.
How can i solve this? thanks, and sorry for my english

IPhoto message each time I open the app...

Everytime I open iPhoto I get a message like this: "6 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?" I click YES everytime, but still keep getting that message each time I open the app. What can I do to stop getting that message?

I also get pop up messages when I open iPhoto - in my case 10,000 photos not yet imported, do I want to import them now etc.
I have tried to follow your advice but when I control click on my iphoto library in Pictures folder, I don't get the option to "show package contents". Im using iPhoto 6. Can you suggest any further options for me?
These photos multiply whenever I try to do an import from my iPhone - iPhoto crashes in the middle of the import, So the number of "unimported" photos leaps by two thousand or so each time.

IMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. Help?

iMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. It has worked perfectly fine the past week, but now it won't load different aspects of the screen. For example, when I role over the screen the video will play in the small play back screen, but I can't actually see the film strip or make any changes. Any suggestions? I need to finish this video for work - would love any help!

Try trashing iMovie's preference file. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
The Tip relates to iMovie '11. For iMovie '09 the preference file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" and will be found in your Home folder Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD).

I installed Firefox 29.01 but two pages keep popping up, my home page and the what's new in Firefox page. How do I stop the What's New page from popping up?

I installed Firefox 29.01 but every time I open it my home opens and so does the What's new in Firefox page. I want to disable the What's New page and only want the home page to open up but everytime I start Firefox both pages open up.

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

I'd a error message about a security network connection that has not been correctly cleaned up each time I open the browser

Every time I open the browser an error message pops up, it says:
"The operation can bot be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly."
The main difference I saw is that my home page, a customize igoogle one that needs login, is redirected to the main igoogle page because login is not successful and I had to manually do it. Even if I state to remember me, it doesn't work once I close the browser.

This is a known bug that will be fixed in beta 7. You should only get that error message the first time after updating Firefox. If you are getting it all the time, are you switching between different versions of Firefox?
Do you still have an earlier version of Firefox installed, and if you do does it use the same profile as the beta version. If you do that can cause problems since Firefox 4 handles extensions in a different way than earlier versions of Firefox. If you do have 2 versions of Firefox installed, you need to use 2 different profiles.

Why am I having to re-enter my registration information each time I open the application?

Hi All,
I purchased Apeture with my Macbook three years ago and have just recently decided to utilize it. EVERY time I open the program I'm prompted to enter my registration information. I'm entering the info each time, but would love not to! (I registered the product in an attempt to make the dialog box go away to no avail.) Any ideas?

First of all, are you using an administrator account, when you are entering the serial number? Aperture needs to write the information to the system library, not the user library. Try to log in from an admin account while entering the serial number. If that does not help, you may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
First check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
Check the permission on the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps". You (as admin) need to have read/write access to all flders along the path.

When opening, firefox keeps checking if my extensions work in new verision, and shows me what's new page.

As the title says, every time I start Firefox, it thinks that the update is new. Checks extensions and shows what's new page.

Did you try to delete the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file?
It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Can the DVD be disabled? I'm fed up of the noise each time I open the lid.

Love my MacBook.
One thing really annoys me though
I have searched for the answer to this on the forums but nobody has come with an answer to this.
I hate the way the SuperDrive motor clunks each time the lid is opened and the MacBook awakes from its sleep. The same noise that occurs when the MacBook is switched on.
It is VERY annoying to me and would love to be able to disable it if possible. (it is hardly used anyway)
Can it be disabled? Is there a 'BIOS' that I can get into.?
A config file that controls what is checked from sleep maybe?
Please help, it is driving me mad..!
MED.

okay, where or how else can you get music files on and off your ipod? cause there has got to be a better way to do this? i already subcribe to pay sites for my downloads and i am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to import files into folders or playlists on itunes to get them on my kids nanos and my shuffle. i don't want to have to buy songs from the itunes store at 99 cents apiece when i have a yearly subscribtion already with another service, not to mention a large library of files already on my hard drive. you should not be limited to using strictly apple downloads. i mean for what we are paying for the players themselves compared to other mp3 players they should be compatible with some other software for transferring songs. am i off base here??

Premiere doesn't "remember" my Video Effects! I have to edit them each time I open the project!

Eh guys this is just crazy!
Sometimes, premiere comes with this problem in a specific project where I've put effects and transitions.
If I close the project, then when I will reopen it my transitions and effects will still be there but they wont be seenable if i play it (or even export it) unless if I click each one of them and make a small edit (e.g a trans from 00:00:01:05 to 00:00:01:06 ). But even when I've done that, if i close it, the nex time i will be opening it, it will be just the same!
And also! All the titles or images I have on the project are offline!!!
Now, I noticed -but I'm not sure if this is the only and real reason- that this happens
when
sometimes I open the Title Window and insert a title -a window "Premiere is running on very law system memory, please save your project and procced with caution..."*1-
or
when i paste titles from another project- which had the same problem. But the most crazy of all, is that after that, even if i delete those clips, the project remains damaged with this bug for days, or even permanently!
*1 What low system memory ?! I Have 4GB RAM on a Intel Quadqore 2,4Ghz (Q6600) with an Ati 1950XT!!!
Watch this video where I show live the problem
http://rapidshare.com/files/127363815/AdobePremiereProblem.mp4

Thats wright jim.
I know to render Steven but as you saw at the video those transitions simply dont work unless i edit them despite if I render the timeline or not.
And as I sed, even if I edit them to ... "make them active again" and render the timeline, the next time I'm goiing to open the project the whole timeline will be unrendered and all the effects "unactive" ince again. Once again i will have to retouch about 60 transitions and effects!
Now i see that I'm not the only one but its a problem you've met. Have you noticed special actions or conditions under which it was appearing?
Personallly i can say that it is appearing sometimes when I open the title window, and for sure it will appear if i put many titles in my project.
(Want to remind my sytem. 4GB RAM, Q6600 (Intel Quad core 2.4), Ati 1950XT, Windows XP Pro)
under which actions or conditions was it appearing to you?

How do I turn off the time? The lock screen appears each time I open the smart cover.

No matter which app I'm in, when I open the smart cover, the lock screen with the time shows. This is on an iPad Air
On my iPad Mini, it goes right to the app and skips the lock screen.
It's sure nicer not to be reminded what time it is in the middle of the night--and not have the brighter lock screen flashed!

Appreciate the reply. The settings are identical, so that's not it! I do not use the pass code lock, in any event. The behavior I'm describing is, in fact, turns out to be unrelated to the lock settings!
It depends upon whether an alert has occurred after the last time you closed the cover! In iOS 7, that will show the lock/unlock screen with the alert when you next open the cover. In iOS 6, more properly, it will show the alert over the screen you were last looking at--no lock screen at all.
On our iPad Mini, iOS 6, we do not use the calendar, so no alerts, and we never see the lock screen or its glaring time (count me among those who would rather not know it's 3am when I decide to read in the middle of the night!) On the Air, we return to where we left off if there hasn't been an alert--but to the lock screen if there has been one!
Truly wish that Apple would give us options as to displaying the time or not--on the lock screen and on the status bar!

Why does aperture keep asking for my activation key each time I open the programme?

I have aperture on iMac and macbook air - everytime I open aperture on air, it asks my name and key number. how do I get it to remember this? why does it do it?
Help please - I am tired of it.

Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
When did this start? Have you migrated your system from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearin the /tmp directory.
In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

Lightroom 4 (&4.1) requests my serial each time I open the software - help!!! (Mac Lion user)

When the LR4 beta came out, I downloaded it, having previously bought LR3. As soon as LR4 was available to buy, I bought the upgrade package from Adobe.com. But for the last 2 months, it is constantly asking me for the serial number every time I re-open the program. I have LR4.1 also installed on my older 2009 MacBookPro, and there is no serial issues there, but this is everytime on my 2011 iMac. I contacted Adobe and it was suggested to do two things:-
1 - Locate the cache.db file and rename it (such as cache.old.db or cache.db.ol) and then retry LR4. This didnt work.
2 - Create a new user with full administration priviledges, then uninstall and reintsall LR4. This didnt work either.
I am now at my wits end. I could of course leave the program open constantly, but the problem is that I always want to ensure I am competely backed up each time I walk away from the program, and this current problem doesnt really help the situation.
For what its worth, since I re-installed it, I now have to complete registration EVERY time or else the program will fail to open. The one thing I have noticed is that the serial input screen also says I have 23 days remaining on the trial(???) - and if I click on this option the program opens immediately.
Help!!!
Thanking you guys in advance.

Holy cow. Victoria, if I could reach through the internet and give you a cupcake I would! That worked!
It's amazing -- I sat on chat with customer support for 3 hours, and they weren't able to come up with the solution. He had me creating new accounts, wiping out various directories, changing read and write permissions here and there, searching for non-existant files, and yes, repeatedly installing from disc and from download, and nothing worked. I've been searching the internet up and down, and there are some really involved "solutions" out there for this problem.
Thanks for finallly guiding me to a solution!
