When I open FireFox in win7, it always asks yes or now from "user account control". I have to completly turn uac off to avoid it. I have completly uninstalled

It says it needs my permission to make changes. I have completly uninstalled and reinstalled latest ver from website. Same results?????? I use Firefox to get 64 bit in windows as flashplayer does not work on IE at 64 bit.

I know. Maybe I wasn't clear. In order to run the computer at 64 bit, IE has to be set for 64bit. If IE is at 64bit, flashplayer won't always work. Firefox will run at 32 bit on a 64 bit platform, so that is what I do waiting on flashplayer to get to 64bit.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

When I open Firefox (after upgrade) it does not show right side vertical scroller bar. I have to take the mouse and physically expand the browser to get the scroller bar to show. (never had this problem in previoius versions of firefox)

Firefox 4.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7 When I open Firefox it does not show the right vertical scroller. I have to take my mouse to the lower right corner and drag it open slightly and the scoller appears It will stay active through other tabs now until I close or shut down firefox. Once I reopen the same thing again no vertical scroller bar.

When I open Firefox 4 RC1 by clicking an external link (as from my desktop) I get an error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program"

A box with this error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program" always pops up upon clicking any URL sitting in my desktop (or from any other folder). It will not happen if Firefox is already open. However, it is only an annoyance as the page fully opens with no problem.
It started after I downloaded Firefox 4 beta ver 12. It continued after upgraded with RC1. It did not happen in my latest version of Firefox 3.6.x which I removed after installing 4 RC1

This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

When I open firefox, a pop up window asks "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? How can I get rid of this pop-up window ?

Every time I open the browser, a pop-up window asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?"
It is unnecessary and annoying to have to click "yes" each time.
How can I get this pop-up window to stop?

Thanks for the help I'll keep the info just in case - but I got so frustrated that I just deleted the program and then re downloaded the current version now everything works fine.

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.

In Windows 7, Microsoft updated UAC in several ways. By default, UAC does not prompt when certain programs included with Windows make changes requiring elevated permissions. Other programs still trigger a UAC prompt. The strictness of UAC can be changed to either always prompt, or to never do so.

I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

Why when I open Firefox always starts to collapse and stop working period between the minute and a half minutes and then completed open the home page This problem harass all Internet surfers recently and I do not know why?

something about system breakdown only when firefox open after that firefox start work very well
Nothing about the collapse of the system when you open Firefox, and then start all start Firefox to work very well with the knowledge that the device works with Intel Core Duo 2 and 4 GB of Ram I do not know what to do with Firefox, even works well in the first time when the works I always surf with Firefox and I do all the important updates, which you recommend

I always chose "save & quit" when I close and sometimes all my history is gone when I open Firefox again. Why? It just happened again. Can I get that history back?

You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/keyboard.htm
Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.
Just noticed your mention of missing the red "X" (red background), are you also missing the vertical scrollbar on the right side.
* Resizing oversize window - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
If you are referring to not being able to close a tab, you will not see the "X" on a tab if it is the last tab, in fact you may not even see the tab bar, that depends on your options and on configuration options for how the close tab is to appear.
