When clicking on an email link, I want the firefox user profile menu to open instead of going to the last used profile. How do I make this work?
When I click on a link in Thunderbird to open a web page, and Firefox is not already open, I want to have the user profile screen presented so that I can select which profile to use for the Firefox session. Instead, it opens the last used profile. Is there a way to do this?
That is is always a problem when you are using multiple profiles and Firefox isn't running.
It might work if no profile is selected (i.e. marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini).<br />
You can use desktop shortcut that open with a specific profile (-P "profile").<br />
There is also a setting in the Profile Manager (Don't ask at startup).

I want to install Mac Office from my DVD drive located on my Windows 7 computer. How do I make this work?
Well, it sounds as though you are trying to install Windows software on a Mac computer.
If that's really what you want to do, you have another project to do first. You could use Apple's Boot Camp software or 3rd party software such as Parallels or VMWare. If so, you have some reading and research to do.
Or maybe you are trying to use Remote Disc? Here is a link to using Remote Disc for Windows:

When I go to get add-ons (7.0.1), nothing shows up, except the "what are add-ons" info bubble. How do I make this work?. The rest of the functions in that section seem to work. And I can search MY add-ons, but not Available Add-ons.

Why, when I click on an email link in a PDF document, does a new tab open?
I convert an excel spreadsheet to PDF. I click on the email link in the new document and it opens a new FF tab and two, not one, two MS outlook emails. Drives me nuts.
I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

before updating to 5.0 today Firefox used to show me the most visited pages on screen when I pressed New Tab. now all I get is a blank page with a search box. Where can I get back the page listings like that used to show when New Tab pressed I couldnt find anything in Help? thanks

*New Tab Tools: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
Note that you can also do this without an extension by creating a <b>userContent.css</b> file and placing code in this file to hide the search bar.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file -
So i already tranferd my itunes library to my seagate freeagent EHD, and i want to remove all my music from my laptop to free up space. How can i have all my music show up on my itunes when i plug in my EHD?
First, make sure you have really transferred the whole library. If you did this with changing preferences you did not do it right.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
Always make sure the drive is on before starting iTunes. -

Any help is appreciated. I'd hate to have to return Apple TV because I can't get it to sync and be forced to use iTunes Match. The Apple ID's are the same and the internet connection works.
Have you also turned on Home Sharing on your Apple TV? See "Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation)", http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
If you have turned it on and it still doesn't work, look at "Troubleshooting Home Sharing", http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 -
When Firefox loads for the first time, a second window opens that is just a counter. I've downloaded a lot of add-ons. I thought it might be the piano add-on so I removed it but that didn't stop it. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.
Sounds like malware on your PC.

When I click on an email link on a webpage, my computer goes crazy. (Please note that links to other websites are fine.) My computer seems to want to link me to Internet Explorer, which I don't use often. The computer starts running very fast and hot. Sometimes, I get a multitude of identical error messages from Explorer, and it is often hard to delete them!
I thought maybe I could solve this by changing my mailto: client, but there is no link for Aol. Please help!
Thanks.
ericasaunt
PS: Why am I still on AOL? I still use the first email address I got many years ago. Friends and clients know my email and use it to contact me. I don't want to change it.Hi, cor-el,
Thank you for responding so quickly!
I tried to follow the instructions, but it didn't work. There are 10 mimeTypes.rdf files on my computer!
I tried to follow the website instructions of
Tools -> Options -> Content / File Types -> Manage
but once I get to Content I am stuck. No Manage button. (there is nothing that says File Types)
What do you suggest?
Thanks again.

I just downloaded Google Chrome and use both Google Chrome and Firefox as my browsers. However, whenever I click on an email link, it opens up Chrome and I want it to open Firefox. How do I fix this?
Go into FF Preferences & set it to be your default browser. This way when you click on an email link in Chrome, FF will open.

When I click on an email link in Firefox, I get a message in the far left corner of my screen that says "mail to:email address". Outlook doesn't automatically open like it does in Internet Explorer. I've made Outlook my default email in Windows 7.
