When exiting Firefox for PC is closing and quitting the same thing?

using Exit (under File) or the "X" (upper Left Hand corner) are these both the same, and if so, will my Privacy Settings then be actioned?

What do you mean?
If you close Firefox using the '''X''' top right corner, this will only close
that one window. If other FF windows are open, they are not effected.
If you close Firefox by '''Menu > File > Exit,''' all FF windows are closed.

  • For about a week now, Firefox will not start unless I re-install it, then it works for about a day and does the same thing. I have gone through all of the fixes

    I am on the current Firefox version. I am running Windows 7 Professional with all current updates, and I run McAfee. As stated, I have tried all of the possible fixes your site discusses and have made sure McAfee is setup to allow Firefox full access. I am not sure what to do. Doing a reinstall fixes it for 12 to 24 hours. There is no message, just does not start and there does not seem to be a process running.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • HT2953 When I try and import a CD it will import maybe a minute of one song, then a second of five others, and then a minute of another, and do the same thing. How do I fix this?

    I just got a new CD I would like to import. Recently my laptop has been malfunctioning so I can't import it there, so I have to import it on our family's main computer. When I try to import the CD, it'll get maybe a minute of the first song, then get maybe a second or two of the next couple, then get half of another, and repeat the same thing.
    How can I fix this?
    Please, it is getting on my nerves. I have updated the Itunes and fixed what I was told to do but it still does it.
    What do I do?

    You're not alone, but for me, it doesn't happen very often. Maybe one in fifty. Sometimes it will read after multiple tries, but a few (two of the three Shins CDs) never work. This was a common problem two years ago when I first got my iMac (many discussions but no answers). I'll keep looking and I'll let you know if I find something.

  • I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated.

    I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated. Now I can't even remove the program at all. Why is this happening?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • MacBook slow wakeup, black screen, Mavericks, took to Genius bar, worked OK for about a week and now the same.

    MacBook slow wakeup, black screen, Mavericks, took to Genius bar, worked OK for about a week and now the same.
    Screen actually seems a very dark navy blue almost black. sometimes can see cursor in white
    Only happens sometimes

    If you can somehow document any processes you've put the MacBook
    through, which can cause it to repeat the symptoms you've seen, be
    sure to write down the sequence of events if your action and resulting
    issues can be make re-occur. Then you'd have a fair chance at some
    one looking deeper to find the real cause of this problem. {If you have
    a digital camera handy, you can take a picture of the screen if it should
    display some curious content other than a black screen, such as that
    seen in a kernel panic or other message. Otherwise, a working Mac
    can take its own screenshot.}
    The computer should be returned to the Apple Store genius bar for
    further evaluation & more in-depth diagnostic tests of long duration.
    Sometimes a test may not run any of the additional software, together
    or separately, that you may be accustomed to using. Perhaps the basic
    OS X and a few applications work just fine.
    If the issue is due to a conflict in software and not a hardware failure,
    the cause may be harder to discover. If you have a complete backup
    of the system and your files on an external drive, that may help if you
    need to reinstall it. However if there is a problem in that software set
    a new installation without conflicting software may be required in order
    to troubleshoot the machine.
    How old is the computer, how much RAM installed, how large a hard
    disk drive and what is the remaining unused capacity of that drive?
    (The HDD capacity will show 'other' so that may be unsubstantiated.)
    Are there any indications in Activity Monitor, or in the system log files
    from Console, to show crash logs or other effects from the Time/Date
    of these slow wakeup and black-screen intervals? There may be.
    Some of the system report may be helpful to those who know how to
    read the resulting mass of files. Perhaps one of the more advanced
    users who occasionally reply here will see your thread and offer a
    method of accessing the OS X via Terminal or single user mode,
    for troubleshooting purposes. Mine is an older OS X with less fuss.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    Is skype Premium and Business the same thing?

    In short no. Skype for business is the same as standard Skype except it has an msi installer so that you can deploy it with a pre defined setup throughout your organisation. Also you can have Skype Manager, which lets you create users and allocate credit, online numbers and other features directly to your staff. There is no monthly cost for this. Skype Premium is a monthly subscription (£5.99 per month) that gives you access to additional features like, Group Video Calling, Group Screen Sharing and An Unlimited Country Call Plan. If you have any more questions or need further clarification please get in touch.
    Feel free to contact us on Skype ID: tetra4comms

  • HT4847 Is iCloud and justClout the same thing?

    Is iCloud and JustCloud the same thing?

    Just cloud is just storage space in the cloud that you upload files that can be shared by various devices, you pay for it by subscription. The important part to remember is that it is a files and folders system, much the same as putting files on and taking them off a hard drive that is shared by everything.
    iCloud is a free service with a free 5 GB of storage (ample for many), you still store your files on it and share them between your various devices, but files are accessed through the application rather than a folder system, just as you would on an iOS device. It is also used to keep much of your personal information such as contacts, calendars etc in sync between all your devices, it also includes a free IMAP mail account.
    i use both these models for different things, but use Dropbox instead of just cloud.

  • I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can played but when I dowloaded to mi i pod nano 6 the file is wrong i tryed several times and do the same thing :( what can i do?

    I dowloaded a book to itunes and i can play it BUT when I downloaded to my ipod it get the wrong file! I tryed deveral times and keep doing the same thing, how can i fix it? I apreciate your help.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
    If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
