When a website launches a new window to enter information, Firefox no longer automatically closes the window when you click the submit button. Why?

For example, when I create a message in my autoresponder service and want to attach an image a new window opens up so I can enter the details of the image (url, position, alt text). When I click the Save button, the information is captured but the window remains open and I have to manually close it.
Firefox used to close the window automatically.

YES!! Thank you jscher2000! You sir are a legend. Thanks for this, changed the newtaburl in about:config, totally worked. Nope, never saw it happening! Speedy machine this one :P Yep, that change completely sorted the issue, just opened about 741 new tabs through the shortcut on my mouse just to celebrate. Thanks guys who helped, no thanks those who didn't.

Firefox no longer automatically opens app tabs when I start it, how do I fix this?

Previously when I had an app tab open and closed firefox it would be opened with my home page next time, I just activated firefox sync and this no longer happens.

A good reason to not count on app-tabs as always being restored. Put your app-tabs into a bookmark folder so you can open them into tabs when you need to recreate them.
See if you can get your app-tabs back via History > Restore Previous Session, then after that
History > Restore previous Windows and then maybe restore previous tabs.
I don't use sync and have no idea if it is involved in your problem. I do periodically close all of my tabs, close and restart Firefox, and then reconstruct my app-tabs by opening a folder into tabs. I had to number the titles in the folder so that the tabs would be in the order that I want them to be in as I do use the "Sort Places" extension to sort my bookmarks into alphabetical order.

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is damaged and needs repair.
Therefore make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you experience the same problem with the test library then try this basic fix a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that fails a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally.

This is not due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting any iOS device, unless that device has been jailbroken.
I have seen one other report this morning of a similar issue. This could simply be due to a rogue ad on those sites. However, if it's happening on a number of other sites as well, you may be having some problems with your network. As an example of the sort of thing I'm talking about, see:

Although the following page is written for Mac users, and thus some of its advice is not appropriate for the iPhone, you can still find some good information on such problems here:

When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, my phone does not even appear under devices. Help please!!

Things to try:
Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
Make sure you phone is adequately charged
Make sure you are using latest version of iTunes

Why doesn't Skype not close when you click the X b...

I'd like to get some input as to why Skype does not close when you click the red X button on the top right corner but rather only gets minimized. It's frustrating and makes no sense at all. The only way to close Skype is to right click the icon in the tray and choose "Quit Skype."
I'd like to understand why this useless feature exists. It renders the minimize button ( - ) useless, which is only two squares away from the X button.
Please don't proceed to list other programs that do this (i.e. some antivirus software) as that was not what I asked. It's standard for programs to close when the X button is clicked, as will happen momentarily when I click the X button on my Chrome browser window when I'm done typing this quation. Thanks

What he was talking about was setting it to ""run as administrator" in the shortcut/executable as you should know that would run the application in a true administrator mode (like Windows XP) vs. the default crippled administrators group in Windows. I personally have not had to do this since I have not run into the issue but for those that have, people claimed it has helped/resolved the issue. In regards to following UI interaction rules, it does as it actually closes the form. Skype doesn't send an additional closure to the resident system tray icon form because it's a memory resident communication program. Some programs give you that option, others don't. Geforce Experience is one of the latest programs I use, that doesn't. Nobody forces anything on you. If you feel your family is "forcing" something on you, you always have the option of "forcing" something on them or suggesting another method you prefer in order to stay in contact with you. In the end that's a family issue, not a Skype one.
If you want to close Skype down in one click you can do so using the provided shortcuts in the following thread. You can also assign those shortcuts hotkeys or assign them to a key on your keypboard/mouse using additional key mapping software to completely close Skype with the press of a single button.

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?

Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.

What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app.

When a website launches a new window to enter information, Firefox no longer automatically closes the window when you click the submit button. Why?
