When I log out of Firefox it appears to be closed but obviously isn't because I cannot subsequently open it without doing a re-start - any suggestions please?

* Open Firefox
* Use Google search
* Visit one or more sites
* Exit sites[s]
* Close Google
* Firefox appears to be closed - icon normal
* Attempt to re-open Firefox - nothing happens most times
* Can only re-open Firefox after doing a re-start
* I am no computer expert so simple to understand suggestions please!

HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

Firefox 4 under Vista is my default browser I cannot now open .xps files even with IEtab2 addon, any suggestions?

When I try to open a .xps file (even using open with IE) firefox launches and prompts me to save as the only option. Trying to open the saved file just opens a new tab and repeats the save option. I have installed IEtab 2 but this has no effect.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I have always had "When I open a link, switch to the tab immediately" UNchecked. I just downloaded Firefox 4, it is still unchecked, but it keeps switching to the linked tab, and it's driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

I use Windows XP on a netbook, have never had an issue with this before downloading 4, and can't think of any way to not have the tab I just opened pop up on top instead of leaving me on the page i was on, and opening in the background.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

Lost all my offline music when I logged out

For some reason when I logged out of my account on iPhone 6 it lost all of my offline music the only thing that stayed was my playlist. Any help on getting this back ? FYI the only thing I use my apology account is on my phone don't have one on computer or anything.

As far as I know is that when you log out, all he local data is removed. Your playlist will always be there when you log in again, but your phone will remove offline music when you log out.

Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts, like in the older version of iTunes? I find it frustrating that I see only one at a time now ! Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

Does logging out of Firefox when you're not using it save energy?

Have been reading about how much energy servers consume. If I log out of Firefox when I'm not using it, does that decrease the amount of energy servers are using?

If you've never replaced the hard drive, it could be slowing down - 3 to 5 years is the typical lifespan for a notebook hard drive.
Do you know how much RAM is in the computer?
If the computer mostly works OK, you may just need to invest in it a little - replacing the hard drive & upgrading the RAM will breathe new life into it, most likely!
You do not need to shut it down each time you're done using it - in fact, I leave my MacBook asleep 90% of the time and reboot it every couple of weeks or when it seems to be getting a bit sluggish. I've been doing that for the last 7 years and she's still chugging along.

How can I stop my login screen changing to shrunken dimensions when I log out from my account, it does so randomly!

Hi,
Does anybody know how I might fix the followin:
When I log out of my user account on my macbook the screen display has started to do weird stuff like change size so that the usual log in screen appears small and to the left, not filling the whole screen, then if someone else in the familiy logs in to their user they may have the same problem within their usual screen, with a small area instead of the full screen to work with. THe remaining screen displays blue, without the chosen wall paper etc. It seems to do this randomly so that logging in and out of accounts, shutting down and reopening can get things back to normal, but only until it goes weird again.
Thank you for any help.

It sounds like a problem wih the backlight inverter. Usually they just go, instead of on and off.
In a dark room hold a flashlight on the display when it blacks out. If you can see the items on the desktop, it's probably the backlight.

How do you log out of firefox support

I am curious as to how to log out of Firefox support when I am finished with questions and answers?

If you scroll up to the top of the page, you should find your username as one of the menus. That one has a "Sign Out" option.

Why does a LaunchDaemon stop when user logs out?

Hi,
We have an application that uses an older version of Jetty that I am trying to configure as a LaunchDaemon on OS X 10.7.5
I've created a org.mortbay.jetty.plist and placed this in the /Library/LaunchDaemons, set permission 644 and owner root:wheel. This can be loaded via launchctl and all is happy. I can connect to the server and browse the pages on the server. However, if I log out, the service stops responding and only starts responding when I log in again. It appears to stop jetty and then restart it when I log in.
As this is being run as the root user, I would not have expected a user logout to stop this process. From what I can see there are no per-user overrides for this.
Upgrading Jetty is not currently an option.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Dave

My account number and password will not delete when I log out from web site MF Global (which is a futures trading account)

MF Global (formerly Lind-Waldock) is a futures/0ptions company that I trade on from time to time. I have logged on my account number and password but when I log out and close the MF Global window and close Firefox the account number and password remain. When I log in to MF Global again my account is still open. This disturbing because a considerable amount of $$$ are involved. I had MF Global's tech department try to cancel the account and password and they couldn't do it. This does not occur on Safari! MF Global suggested it must be locked only on Firefox. Can you help right away??? Thank you. ''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

Websites remembering you and automatically log you on or keep you logged on is stored in a cookie.
So you need t clear the cookies from that site to make the site forget you and log you out.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

When I log out of my bank account, it says to close the browser. Does that mean I need to close every tab that is open? Thanks!

When using Firefox on my desktop computer, I usually have 3-4 tabs open. Whenever I log out of my banking website, it reminds me to close my browser for security reasons. Does this mean I need to close every tab when I log out of a secure site? Thanks. I'm using Windows 7 and the latest version of Firefox.

It depends on how paranoid you are.
There is a theoretical risk that a site in another tab or window could read through the history of your banking session and extract information, but that probably is very rare.
You definitely want to close the browser before leaving the PC available to another person.

How do I keep BI Publisher running when I log out of the console in linux?

I am using the standalone version of BI Publisher and I want to keep it running even after I log out of the console. I have a script that starts it so I typed 'nohup start_bipub.sh &' but when I log out it shuts down anyway. I started my apache server the same way and it still runs after I log out so the only thing I can think of is that X is being killed due to the logout and BI Pub needs it. Is there anyway to keep this process running?
Thanks,
Denise

It depends on the data path from the tower you're using, through NATs and many routers, all the way back to the server. Which depends on your current location and sheer luck.
For some users, the data path stays alive for 30-45 minutes at a time... thus the phone only has to ping the server that often for push to work. Their push doesn't use much battery.
Other users have the misfortune of being connected via pathways that only keep a connection alive for 5-10 minutes. Their iPhones eat battery like crazy, and they usually end up switching to a 15-30 minute timed fetch instead.

Hello gayashya welikala,
follow these steps to unblock images:
*Go to Tools > Options. Click the '''Content''' tab.
*In the Content section, next to '''Load images automatically''', click the '''Exceptions''' button.
*Now, find the site you want to re-allow images for, click it and hit the '''Remove''' button.
Other advice can be found in the [[Images or animations do not show]] article.
Kind regards,
