When I close firefox, there are two annoying window underneath that I always have to close and they are always there again next time; how do I get rid of them for good?

When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

  • There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

    There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Yahoo installed a Yahoo tab in my Firefox toolbar that I DO NOT want there- how do I get rid of it for good?

    Yahoo took over my Firefox- help!
    About two weeks ago for some unknown reason Yahool basically took over my Firefox. All of a sudden it was my preferred search engine, Yahoo! TAB shows up in my toolbar (can't remove it) and in general it's been doing some goofy things. I swear I didn't give out any permission for this, but I hate it and it's driving me crazy (actually temp swithched back to Explorer). Tried uninstall and reinstall, but it's still there. Read somewhere that Yahoo hides it's files in hard to figure out places so it can't be deleted. Can anybody help me figure out how to get rid of Yahoo? (ESPECIALLY THE TOOLBAR TAB AT THE TOP) Many thanks!

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • My old Apple ID pops up on 2/7 devices. How do I get rid of it for good!?!? This has been occurring since we bought our iphone 5 and 5c.

    After I bought my Iphone 5, 5s, &amp; 5c all at different times. I go to update apps and it will show my old Apple ID. We have gone into all the settings and have removed the if from everywhere I can think of. Any suggestions.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    thus, it appears that you have apps the need updates that were purchased for at least two different accounts.

  • I couldn't delete this video after I changed the media type. After I manually went in, it's become really strange. How could I get rid of it for good?

    I changed the media kind of a music video on my ipod to a podcast. Suddenly, I couldn't find it listed... It was still on my ipod, but wasn't on the music or podcast lists on itunes. I eventually got into my ipod, found the hidden folder it was in, and deleted it. It's still there in the podcasts section, though, except now it won't even play when I try and play it. I'd be really thrilled if someone could offer me some advice on what to do here, thanks..

    Hi wrtlinksys-user, you can try to do a funny reset on the router. To do it, just press and hold the reset button on the device for 30 seconds and when you reach 20 seconds while counting, simply unplug and replug the power adapter of the router. Update us if this will help you.

  • What are the boxes that appear when I scroll over them at the top and bottom of a Pages document, and how do I get rid of them?

         While types a blank document on pages, there are "invisible" boxes at the top and bottom of each page, and they only appear when I scroll over them. Does anyone know what these boxes are, and how i can get rid of them from my paper?

    Those are the Header and Footer spaces. You remove them using the Document Inspector. Uncheck the "Headers" and "Footers" checkboxes shown checked here:

  • On my ipad, there are dozens of "recently purchased" songs supposedly available for download from iCloud.  I don't recognize most of the songs - they could have been downloaded 6 years ago by my daughter.  How do I get rid of them?

    So there are all these songs, from ADELE to Zapp and Roger.  I don't recall purchasing any of them.  Some of them were clearly purchased years ago by my daughter, who now has a different account (and doesn't know the current password to my account).
    They do not show up anywhere in iTunes except on the iPad.  They are not downloaded to the iPad - but I don't want them to show up in the purchased index.  How do I get rid of them?  Do I have to join iMatch or whatever to do this?
    Also, this may explain why we're being told our iCLoud storage is full - there are actually hundreds of these unwanted songs.
    Any ideas? 

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Look here for help on managing iCloud storage.

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

    i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

  • What are the '- -' entries in the AGG operator and how do I get rid of them

    Greetings
    Environment:
    OWB Client 10gR1 (10.1.0.4) on Windows XP Professional
    Repository 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Target schema 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Several times now in different maps I have modified input and output columns in an AGG operator only to have a bunch of '- -' show up in the Operator Properties. They obviously are causing problems when the PL/SQL is generated.
    What causes them and more importantly how do I get rid of them without deleting and redefining the entire AGG operator?
    I've done that in the past when this has happened previously but I'm tired of that and hope there is a more elegant solution.
    Thanks very much in advance for all the assistance.
    -gary

    I think this happens when you remove the ingrp field without removing it from the outgrp field and group by or having clause first.
    If you remove it from the outgrp, then remove it from the group by/having, then remove it from the ingrp, it shouldn't mess it up.
    It is one of those quirks of OWB that I've just grown to accept. I wonder if this was fixed in 10gR2.

  • I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. How do I get rid of them?

    I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. The others go away easily.
    How do I get rid of them?

    Have you tried quitting mail and then trying to delete again? Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or resetting the iPad and then trying again? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If neither of these things work, delete the emails from the server in webmail. Go to your email account via a web browser and delete it from the server. Empty the trash folder on the server as well and then see if you can delete them from the iPad or see if they have gone away.
