When i open Firefox i can still see my desktop picture, all the text on that opening page is on top of this picture

the search bar is there but other than that, as iv said, all the text is on top of my desktop picture, i have had a message saying something like 'Firfox cound not down load updates due to another instance of Firefox running please close this down' but i have not opened another Firefox (this message has stopped now)
Also i have tried to ask this question recently but when Firefox sent me an email to click on the link to publish it, i got a message stating 'Something is wrong, we could not activate your account please make sure you have clicked on the correct link in your email' (i bet it will happen this time as well, hope not) its ironic i got to use IE to send this.

Well got this sorted, i managed to pick out the 'help' section on my desktop when i opened Firefox (not an easy task as you can see from my screen shoot) saw 'check for updates' mouse clicked all around this statement (as there were no buttons) and was advised to update to ver: 3.6.16 now everything is ok, still dont know what the problem was but hey its fixed, put a system restore point in just in case. thanks all.

When I designate Firefox as my default browser, my desktop links to the net won't open. However, if I subsequently designate Internet Exp as default browser, everything works again. What can I do to keep Firefox as my default browser?

This is all I know.

Sometimes Windows gives you weird error messages when you click a link in another program or double-click a desktop shortcut. These messages usually occur only when Firefox was closed and has to be launched before the link can be loaded. Is that what you're getting? This occurs when Firefox's registry settings get crossed up, as described in this article: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].
If that isn't it, what happens exactly?

My iPod Nano (fourth generation) is stuck on a black screen and will not charge. It's done this before and you can still see a faint outline of the green charging sign and the time/date. HELP

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Latest update of Firefox is REALLLLLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be. Can I downgrade to last version?

Latest update of Firefox is REALLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be? I'll have to start usin safari again as this isn't funny anymore
Can i retro grade back to the last version?

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

I can only see a small section of the text in the url bar, the rest is cut off.

Recently my url bar only displays the first handful of letters in my url. If I use the arrow keys I can see all the text is there, and hitting enter brings up the right page, so it's not cutting off the text, just the display. Approximately the first 15% of the url bar shows text, while the leftover bar is just grey. I'm currently on 16.0.2.

The problem is the same as the one in cor-el's linked question. However, I've found that re-enabling the Authen-tec add-on and restarting firefox solves the problem. It's just when I have it disabled that the address bar does the weird truncation.

Can i see a LIST of all the things removed from MobileMe in the upgrade to iCloud?

i have heard so many reports of things changed in MobileMe in the "upgrade" to iCloud, and i want to clarify these prior to switching over (i have already upgraded to iOS5 and 10.7.2) because from what i have heard some of these chages are going to mean a massive LOSS OF INFORMATION!!!
based on how i have been using mobileme for the last 10 years (in it's various incarnations) i have heard that when you update:-
1/ i am going to lose my 100's of photo websites in june 2012 (thanks guys!!)
2/ i am going to lose most of the notes i have added to the over 1500 entries in my AddressBook (and some of those notes are VERY long and perfectly placed since they give me immediate access to data/info on the person/company in AB (this is a TERRIBLE DECISION IF TRUE) becaue apple had given a new charcter limit to Notes
3/ my iphone now does not seem to play anything that was bought from beatport or freebies i have received from DJs (which i belive is linked to the size of the bit rate - some are 14100, rather than the 320 of itunes tracks) and which means i am either going to have to find another music player and/or stop buying music from any one other than itunes <<DUH>>
4/ i have used my mac.com account in itunes to buy a LOT of stuff, different bits of which go on my iphone, ipad, etc (in fact the ipad is used by my mother who would have never ever have bought any apps, so i have adapted the ipad with the apps i think she would like - but i do not want these on my iphone) so am i going to have to repeatedly stop itunes form adding every new purchase from downloading itself to all my apple equipment??????
quite frankly, if all the above is true (and i bet there are more to come ) then it is a ral smack in the face of long time apple users who have bought into the whole iDisk, MobileMe stuff in the past, and who have created a ersonal way of using them - i bought a family pack just so i could put different types of photo website up under my different"family" names - all of which were initially just for me to use!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, please can you publish a list of all the things i am going to lose when i move to the icloud?????????????
sees a fair request, but one which it also seems i have to ask for cos i cannot find a list such as this anywhere on the apple website

You can see a detailed comparison between MobileMe and iCloud, plus general information and some links to Apple Help pages, here:

Question 2 would be best asked as an individual question in the hope of attracting the attention of someone who is in the same situation and can give you a practical answer: question 3 would best be asked in the iPhone forum.

Hi - I think this is related to the Babylon Toolbar

Can't see scroll arrows and all of text in search bar.

Okay, if you look at the screenshots below, that explains it all.
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1153/itunesprob.jpg
It seems like an innocuous problem but I don't know why it is happening. One thing I would say is that when I load iTunes up, everything is fine, but then this problem kicks in randomly. I can still navigate the scroll arrows (even though they're not showing) and make out the text in the search bar but it isn't fully showing. :/

I just downloaded firefox on my laptop, I see no place to increase the text size to 150%. Where will I find this?

How do I increase the size of the letters on a web page..

Try:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Can't see shared windows printer all the time

The printer was set up when I was able to see the windows workgroup with finder, and then I went to setting to set up the printer (need to choose windows printer). It was working when I tested it. Later when I want to print, it says connection refused. Then I found the windows workgroup no longer appeared under finder. The Windows PC was on and the printer was on and yet I got connection refused. What gives?

Did you also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf
Try to reinstall Firefox.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
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.

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

Remove documents from iCloud
You can remove documents stored in iCloud by deleting them from any of your devices that have iCloud set up for Documents & Data. Removing your documents from iCloud reduces the amount of iCloud storage space you’re using.
Remove iCloud documents from your iOS device
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.

I'm in cycle mode, and 'merge' is clicked in preferences. However, when I record, my previous track data keeps getting overwritten. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Interestingly, I can still see the data in the region.
