When I open new tab, it will go onto new tab then jump to another page without me touching it.
When I open a new tab, it will be the new tab page, the one with the most viewed sites for 2 seconds. Then, it will suddenly change to another site without me doing anything. It isnt just one tab, its all tabs. please help me just get onto the most viewed.
Hi Pancakeater,
What kind of site is opened after 2 seconds? Does it look like advertisement? It could be that your Firefox installation has been hijacked. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

How can destroy Java Plug - in when i jump to another page without Applet
When I jump to another HTML page, that not include <Applet> </Applet> tag, the Java Plug-in does not exit and use system's resource. I don't want it make my computer run slow then I want sutdown the Java Plug-in when I stop the page, that have an Applet.
Hi dekassequi:
Sorry if I misunderstood the problem......I've never tried swing set because it requires the JVM plugin. All my applets are non-swing and I've noticed that frequently when I exited the browser, it would be stuck in a never-never land requiring ALT-CTRL-DEL to end the browser's task. By overriding the destroy a the call to system.exit seems to have solved my problem -- if there is any error message in the system console, it is not noticeable because it disappeared instantenousely when the browser's own JVM is used.... Besides, destroy is the last thing an applet does anyway....without looking at Java source code, I can only surmise that that's what it does
As a matter of fact, I've just tried to write some stupid swing applet but I've noticed that one cannot really script an applet that requires a Sun JVM. Here is a link, perhaps you can take a quick look and see if I'm doing something wrong.
http://home.attbi.com/~aokabc/test/test2.htm
BTW, I did notice late last night that overriding the destroy method in an applet that requires a JVM plugin does give an error message in the system console which takes a bit longer to close but you know what, at least it got rid of the console afterward -- otherwise, the console just sit in the tray and ALT-CTRL-DEL can't even get rid of it. In the mean time, I'll simply remove the system.exist(0) and leave a skeleton destroy method and see if the JVM console still sit in the system tray.

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?
If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

When i open new tab would like to see most visited websites
when i open new tab would like to see most visited websites and the recent history, similar to Google Chrome and Safari Browsers. I remember Firefox having this feature, but don't know if still available or how to activate. Thanks
Babylon malware injected into Firefox seems to have many causes and as a result many fixes.
See this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=Babylon&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&created=0&created_date=&updated=0&updated_date=&sortby=0&a=1&w=2 search for Answers threads mentioning Babylon] to see what other similarly affected users have found to fix it for them.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

When I open new tabs it is an AOL tab. I have Fire F as my homepage? How do I change this?
I set my home page to mozilla or yahoo, but when I open new tabs it keeps bringing up AOL search engine. I don't want this b/c it is useless and always brings up irrelevant search results. How do I change what tabs open up after homepage is set?
You should just be able to choose whatever search engine you prefer
* [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
There is however a possibility you may have some toolbar or other software installed that is changing setting. Initially look in your Firefox addons and Windows control panel for unwanted software
* [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I want my new TAB to open blank,but have installed a s/w which opens it's own search page when i open new tab??Help appreciated
Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page? -
when i open new tab my all bookmarks and add on's remove automatically, what can do for locking this???
Do you mean that toolbars get hidden when you open a new tab?
Can you attach a screenshot?

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

How can I have the last command when I open new ttisql
Hi
Is it possible that when I open new ttisql windows I will be able to use all the recent commands from previous ttisql windows ?
ThanksI don't think this is possible. ttIsql only stores the (last 100) commands of the current session. Refer to "Using ttIsql's command history" in the Operations Guide. You could store commands in a history file which would be persistent between ttIsql sessions but it's not a graceful way of achieving what you want.

How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari. I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?
From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
Or..
Glims can re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.

due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?
With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
