When I open firefox previously viewed tabs keep opening instead of the home page and I can't get rid of them

All I can do is minimise each tab, open my home page from favourites, and then press the red X in the minimised box.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

When I open on Mozilla Firefox, several identical items open on bar at bottom of page, when only one is needed, and I can't get rid of them apart from closing the whole lot.

Different tabs used to appear at the top of the page (Yahoo), which I could easily close. This has stopped. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, about 6 little boxes appear at the bottom of my page, at least two of them being mozilla, and I can't get rid of them except by closing down the internet. If I go through Talk Talk, (a second email address) and get to Yahoo this way, this doesn't happen, but I always prefer to use Mozilla Firefox.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When i open my computer the home page is displayed but blocked, it is not possible to open any application

when i open my computer the home page is displayed but blocked, it is not possible to open any application, even if my mouse is moving correctly

You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
Did you install any programs yesterday?
If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

Click History from the Safari menu bar then from the drop down menu click: Clear History
Quit then relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Safari
Move the LastSession.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
See if that helped.

I have setup my mail but now it always opens to welcome to Mail page and I can't get past it.

I have set Mail and it worked fine before I upgraded to OS 5. Now it always opens to Welcome to Mail page and I can't get past it. I tried just setting up the account again but it gives me the message that it already exists. I can see 50 emails in the Mail icon. How do I get past Welcome?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select your startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then reboot as usual.

When opening music player, I keep getting icons that say waiting. These keep adding up and I can't get rid of them

I have icons that pop up and say: waiting but nothing loads, these keep coming in after I open music player. I can't delete these either

go to the appstore and make sure that there are no new updates for Drawsomething.
If that is fine, double tap the home button and remove every app you see in that area. (hold your finger on the recent apps area that just came up and then remove every app from that area.
Now try to go to DrawSomething.
If that didn't do it:
Now go to where you have draw something and remove it from your ipad (hold down the icon until it all of them start to wiggle and hit the X on Draw something.
Now go back to the App Store and redownload draw something.
See if that doesn't help.

Bing and Ashampoo have hijacked my Firefox page and I want to get rid of them.

When I click on the Firefox icon, I am now taken straight to Bing by way of Ashampoo. First Bing appeared and I had to then click on Firefox. Then Ashampoo took over Bing and I still have to click on Firefox. I really want to get rid of them and just get Firefox when I click on it.

I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

How can I get rid of unwanted photos. As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone. When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos). In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone. To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections. If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

Just updated to v5.0 and now when I start Firefox I get a pop-up that says checking compatability of add ons and the the Welcome to Firefox page and my home page appears. Can't get rid of the pop up or welcome page.

Above question covers it. I've tried reinstalling Firefox, clearing cache, history, etc. but still happens. I've created app tabs and when I restart Firefox, they are gone. Running Windows XP.

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

Same error message keeps popping up every hour or two, and I can't get rid of it, also appears whenever I manually refresh the page.

I'm running a script for a game through grease monkey, and I require the script to run 24/7 without me needing to be there 24/7 to press "continue" when this error message comes up "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." I've looked though all the options and can't find any way to prevent this from happening. I've uninstalled and reinstalled grease monkey, the script, and firefox itself, and nothing makes it go away. I have friends using the exact same scripts with the same version of firefox and they never get the error message. Is there something I can do to get rid of this inconvenience, as it literally does not help at all, I see no purpose in even displaying the message, obviously if I didn't want my browser to refresh automatically, I wouldn't be using the script.

I think I've got it fixed....I "reset" my mail program, I deleted my mailbox then re-created it and I'm all set for now.

HELP ME,I keep getting firefox popups and I can't get rid of them, what am I doing wrong?

When I go into iTunes on my Mac is recently takes over the entire screen and I can not get rid of it. Is there a setting I can change to have it work the old way?

When I go into iTunes (the latest update) now, it takes over the entire screen is difficult to remove. Is there a setting I can change in it to have it behave the old way?

I presume you are runnning iTunes on either an OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 system. Move the cursor to the very top of the screen so that the menu bar appears, then click the blue box with the arrows at the very right corner of the menu bar, or press Shift-Command-F. That will switch iTunes back to a normal window, which it should then remember for future launches.
Regards.
