When Firefox in minimized and I'm working with another program, why does it automatically maximize (pop up) every 10 minutes?
I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 8.0.1 on a PC. This is frustrating. I like Firefox, but it keeps popping up every 10 minutes when it's minimized and I'm working in another program. I can't continue to use it if this can't be fixed. I just switched from 3.6 and never had any problems. Also, no settings have been changed.
Great suggestion! It looks like one problem has been solved. I started Firefox in safe mode and the problem didn't occur. Then I restarted in regular mode and individually disabled one add-on at a time. What I found is that with Better Privacy disabled, the pop-up no longer occurred. So step one, identifying the source of the problem, is complete. Now onto step two, finding out what setting in Better Privacy is causing the problem. There's nothing that stands out to me as the culprit. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Every time when Firefox is minimized to the tray and I open it up again i can't use it until I click on a tab that's not focused or on the search field with the mouse. It's completely locked, I can't press ctrl+1/2/3 etc to change tab or ctrl+e to go to search. Last time everything worked like it should was on release 3.5.14
Is there a way to fix this?
Edit: I've tried reinstalling Firefox and gotten a new profile, that didn't help.
Edit2: Updated to 3.6.9 and I still have the problem.
Edit3: Just installed 3.6.11, the problem is still there.
I can't understand how 3.5.14 can work and not a singel release after that.
Opera here I come, soon...- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.

I am running FF 18.0.2 on a Win7 system with an i7 CPU and 8GB RAM. My Flash plugin is newly-updated. I've used Firefox on this machine its entire life (3 years).
Since 3 or 4 (?) versions ago, I've been getting massive activity on my hard drive with Firefox. When I check with Win Task Manager, I see the plugin-container.exe *32 and the FlashPlayerPlugin_11_5_502_149.exe *32 processes are generating millions of I/O reads and writes, even while Firefox is idle (minimized, running no audio or video). On this latest version, 18.0.2, the drive activity stalls out YouTube videos repeatedly, even though I can see they're buffered ahead. The playing video will stop, audio will continue to end of buffer, and then EVERYTHING stops (Firefox not responding) for 30 seconds or so. It will then pickup again and play until it repeats the same pattern in a minute or so.
Example: I closed and restarted Firefox 2 days ago. Earlier today I checked Windows Task Manager and found the two processes EACH generated about 161 million reads and 141 million writes since then! My wife's laptop is showing nothing like a hundredth of that.
The constant drive activity is slowing down all programs outside of Firefox too, as you might imagine. The PC is acting like it's a dedicated machine for Flash.The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

thanks for the reply. how do i create argument
constructors in Java?Please re-read my post ... you already have one. If you want to use it, simply pass in the argument to it that it wants. In this case it wants a URL (Universal Resource Locator). Please check out the java.net.URL package in the [url http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/]API doco.
You can build a URL like this:
URL url = getClass().getResource( "textfile.txt" ); // Just an example - where the file resides in the same location as the class file. -
How do I manually add the php3 file type to work with Adobe Reader, Safari does this automatically.
downloading php3 files auto jumps to text edit,, cannot tell it to open with "adobereader" , no chance to do so. Tried reading on how I might add the file manually to tell preferences applications to add this file type and open it with adobe reader. Only saw download the file and then firefox will let you open with a program. Can't get there in that text edit opens it.
Safari has no problems with this in that it opens it in adobe reader easily, no work on my part so ????
how do I get firefox to do the sameDo you get the dialog asking whether you want to Open, Save or Cancel? That may indicate the file type Firefox thinks it is getting from the server.
If you can't coax Firefox into revealing the content type indicated by the server, could you post a link to one of the PDFs, assuming no login is required to access one? -
When filtering by keyword and using "Edit In" with Photoshop, edited file does not show up in list
When I do an "edit in" using CS5 and save it, the edited file does not show up in my LR4 preview window.
Message title was edited by: Brett NThere are two distinct modes by which Edit In... may first open an image into PS: as a fully pre-converted rendered file; or as an on-the-fly converted image in memory.
(When LR opens a PS-edited image a second time into PS, using "Edit Original", the former option is always used.)
In the latter case, it is ACR which does this on-the-fly conversion, working from the original image (as imported into LR) plus your subsequent LR adjustment metadata. This means ACR compatibility with LR becomes an issue - as it is not, with the pre-rendered file option.
There is a useful clue to which mode is being used:
the title of the PS document window, in the case of the on-the-fly conversion, still shows the name of the Raw file (or whatever) that you started with in LR... no file has been saved as yet, to say any different. You can Save or Save as, wherever and under whatever name, and from now on LR will look there for your edited image. Or if you close unsaved, LR has no edited image to show at all.
the title of the PS document window in the pre-rendered case, is the name of a file already saved on disk and already showing in LR. If you then saved this elsewhere, you would merely make a duplicate which LR cannot know about - and if this duplicate is the one which contains your PS work, LR will accordingly not show that. It is busy showing the content of the specific file that was passed to PS.
So, if inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334.dng - you can save it wherever you like. If inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334-edit.tif - you will have to save your changes back to that exact same file, in order for them to be seen in LR. -
Since this other program I use for CD copying and DVD copying, or as we say back up, I don't want to delete it, but I Tunes will notcomplete with me using this, and I don't know what do do.
It stops for example when I want to update my IPod Touch 64GB to add ISO5.
Any suggestions?

I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..
A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.
I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

Why did Firefox intervened to move data while working with an Excel file; cannot locate the data.
Downloaded Firefox 2wks ago. Just now working with a large Excel spreadsheet when something happened losing all 6 sheets of data. My file location now shows sheet data as Firefox Document. Now I can't retrieve this file of data; it was financial data! What happened for Firefox to intervene?
No, Sir. I was strictly working within a newly created Excel file. Actually, Internet Explorer is current browser.
Thank you for interest and any suggestion.
Re-thinking thru this, it is probable I downloaded the base data thru FIREFOX. I was working with the project on an Excel spread sheet when I lost the data. The sheets still exist but the data is missing. Very strange.
