USPS Print initialization causes Reader launch - never did before

Mac 10.6.8
Adobe Reader 10.1.0
Safari Browser 5.1
When using Click N Ship from USPS, at the print point, at least for the past number of years, when ok to print is clicked, the Adobe print initialization box popped open and you would select 'ok' to print.
Since this past weekend, at a time when USPS redesigned and relaunched its site, though the system still functions basically the same way, whenever you go to print labels from within the site, the print initialization box does open, but adobe reader opens in full AND the system downloads the active labels as a PDF.
It never acted like this before. Reported it to USPS.com as a bug, but wonder if there are some settings within Adobe that would stop this. There is no need to have the pdf downloaded then displayed in reader, or for Reader to launch at all.
Any help appreciated.

Odd that though the USPS said Safari would not work, I had it working just fine. 5.1 must have been the most recent update.
Wonder if there is any fix for this though? Through Adobe? Through Apple?
Thanks!
UPDATE: After scouring some other boards, I decided to revert using Time Machine and find the version of Safari just before this last update (7/21/11 updated to 5.1).
Put back 5.0.5 and it works PERFECTLY with just an initialization box to print, no launching of Reader.
Hope Apple gets this bug fixed (reported), and maybe Adobe can lend a hand.

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

Why is the font color on the Colorful Tabs changing when I choose a new Personna, when it never did before?

The font color has always been black and the tabs in color, but now when I choose a different Personna, the font fades and/or turns white, sometimes fuzzy. This has never happened before. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Please help.

Does it help if you disable the Persona Plus extension?

Mozila Firefox is always asking me to click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videos and other plug-ins which it never did before.

I am using Mozilla Firefox and it is now bugging me. After updating it, it is now asking me to always click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videosand other plug-ins. I click on activiate all plug-ins but it still asks me to do it each time that I try to use Flash, Adobe Reader, watch a You Tube Video or anything. Why won't Mozilla Firefox automatically actaivate the plug-ins like it used to do. I tried to follow directions on our website for fixing this but it did not work. I am running
Windows XP. Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you.

In the past, to protect you from [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-plugins-play-audio-video-games plugins] that have stability or security issues, Firefox could only turn off the problematic plugin. Now Firefox can prevent the plugin from running automatically (which prevents many issues) and then let you choose to run or update the plugin. See [[Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]] for more info.
If you'd like to Disable Firefox's Click-to-Play feature,
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search box, paste ''plugins.click_to_play''
# In the search results, double-click ''plugins.click_to_play'' to set its value to '''false'''

Getting 'USB device not recognized' message when I never did before.

Hi there
I am constantly getting a USB device not recognized when I plug in my nano. I never got this before and as a result all it does is charge. It is not showing up in iTunes anymore so I cannot remove or dowload new songs on to my nano anymore. I have tried to go into control panel and the USB Hub device manager to deselect the power outage option but that did nothing. Please help! I seem to encounter trouble with any accessories Apple sell, whether they be earphones or USB cables.
Thanks

i'm getting the same problem too.
my ipod is nearly about 1 year old.
i use my ipod nano 2GB for music and as a flashdrive to store my uni work.
this morning accessing my files in the ipod on the computer was fine.
then later in the afternoon when i connected it into a computer i keep getting the msg 'usb device not recognised'. also itunes dont recognise my ipod either anymore.
i use Windows XP at home and uni.
i've tried my ipod on at least three different computers at uni and just tried at home.
same msg came up 'unknown device' from windows.
i've read the other posts in the forum and it mentioned about 5 R's and resetting it.
BUT the main problem is i DONT have any back up of my uni work and files and they are really really important so i CANT reset the ipod otherwise i will lose all the important things...my assignments, projects, photos...I was meant to make a back up b4 i start uni next monday but i guess now is TOO LATE.
I've noticed that the socket of the ipod dock conector to usb cable, that connects to the ipod is slightly split open.
Would this be causing the problem?
I am in Utter Despair and Desperation at the moment.
Can anyone help me PLEASE?
i would be sooooo grateful for your kind help and time.
kind regards,
a student who is on the verge of a breakdown due to this problem.

Keep getting mackeeper trying to get me to buy and locks up my Safari. Also getting popups never did before. I haven't changed anything. How do I fix this?

I have a McBook Pro bought in 2011. Running current iOS. All software is up to date. Starting a few days ago I started having issues with MacKeeper opening a site when I'm on the internet trying to get me to buy it to clean my Mac. I know better but it locks up Safari. Also, I am getting all kinds of pop ups. I have logged off, shut down and it still keeps happening. It is slowing down my computer and I keep getting the swirling color wheel of death. How do I fix this?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Why is Firefox v36 asking "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections"? It never did before, so what should I say?

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Have just upgraded Firefox from v35 to v36.
Every few minutes I get a message "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections?" It's never done that before, so why now (v36) and what should I say?
The message goes on, "Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall panel of security preferences." The other option button is Allow.
The computer has always had Firewall switched on. Is Firefox suggesting I now switch Firewall off? What has changed since v35? Has Mozilla offered any information about this?
Thank you.

Hello FredMcD,
I wasn't suggesting they 'ask'. But I believe an entirely new and fundamental message like "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections?" warrants a few words of clarification.
I'm a fan of Mozilla, my comments are intended to be constructive!

I have some weird asian language coming up on some websites and they never did before

If I open this link http://twitter.com/#!/VanCanucks I get this, 与 Vancouver Canucks 保持联系 I have my language setting on English/Canada so I don't know why this is coming up? If I click on this link I get the full page of asian writing. http://canucks.nhl.com/v2/ext/pdf/MetropolisHotSeatContest_Rules_Regs_092911.docx
Can you please help me get rid of this please?

The link MetropolisHotSeatContest_Rules_Regs_092911.docx is a docx document (looks like a ZIP archive) that needs to be opened by Word or another program that can handle it. The file is send as text/plain and that causes Firefox to open it as a text file in a tab. You need to right-click the link to that file and use "Save Link as" or hold down Alt and left-click the link to initiate a download dialog.

Printer won't duplex. It did before and still does on my PC.

My Canon IP4200 and IP4300 won't print in duplex model and there is no menu item or list box that lets me control it. It used to duplex under OS X 3 and stil does on my PC. I have the latest drivers installed.

Have you asked Canon? They write the drivers. Apple just distributes them.
Do you have the printing details showing? If there is a button that says "Show Details," click it.
Are the options there, now?
While you have the most current drivers, are you sure it is set up to use them. Sometimes, you can get a generic driver or a Gutenprint driver selected instead of the Canon driver.
Are the options shown in this help article not available on your print dialog (it's old, but the options should be mostly similar)?

I seem to have to double click all the time now. Never did before.

I don't have many details, when I post this on the internet it seems to now be a common problem now with Internet Explorer.

Hello Josef46, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows on Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an '''extension''', theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
thank you
