When i open firefox it dumps preferences files all over- how can i keep this from happening? I tried throwing all old firefox files away and reinstalling to no avail.

There are so many files- I have to clean them up every time I run firefox, which makes certain that I never use firefox. I need it now because Safari is acting up on me...

I had the same problem - I think it depends on your OS - pity that Mozilla didnt mention this on the front page before people download it! The best solution is to reinstall 3.6 from this page - there are options for PC, Mac and Linux

I hope this helps!!!!

Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up. The open at login is not even checked. How can I stop this from happening?

I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X. Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing. I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked. How can I turn this feature off? It's driving me nuts!!

All fixed Barry. When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there. Do you want to open Windows when opening. NOPE!!
I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked. Thank you for your help today.
Best,

Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page 
'''about:blank''' - blank page 
'''url''' - a page that you want

Is there some reason you cannot update to the standard 10.6 install? The combo updater to use is at

Otherwise you might try setting up a new user account and see if you still have the problem when logged into that.
Most likely you have a bad .plist in Home/Library/Preferences

Firefox is my default browser but when I start a search it flips to Yahoo. How can I stop this from happening?

I have searched online but only find old solutions 2005 through 2010, so many of them do not make sense. As in one said go to computer then to C then to programsx86 then to Mozilla and in that folder you will see two versions of... I did not see that. Another said about the same and go to Firefox safe mode....click disable all add-ons....I do not see any of that. I don't know if any of this helps you help me. I appreciate any help you can give. Sincerely, Jonathan

Is it using yahoo as its search engine, or switching to yahoo's browser. If it is using yahoo as its search engine, you can change that in settings>options>search and at the top it will show you a button that you can click to choose your default search engine.
Have a great day!!

Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both. I pretty much never use it, but it doesn't do what you're explaining in my version of DWCC, so I'd guess you may have some slight corruption in the program.
Unless, does it make a difference if you have Live View turned on or not?
You could try clearing the program cache/personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Or restoring preferences if the cache doesn't do the trick: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html

It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!!

When I do a search (for anything), the browser redirects me to a new page, usually an advertisement. How do I keep this from happening?

My home page opens just fine. When I type a search topic in the search box, it goes to the list of possible websites. But when I click on any of those choices, the browser is automatically redirecting my to a different page (usually an advertisement). How do I keep this from happening any more? I am extremely frustrated...

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
