When I remove a button, it reappears when I close and open firefox again, how do I fix this?
For example the "share" button, if I remove it by customising Firefox, it is there again when I close and open Firefox.

while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happenedYou 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 am trying to access my school's library database. When I log in to access the library, it tells me that the site needs to verify me by sending me a cookie. There's a link to log in again, but when I click it, it says "404 not found". My privacy settings already have cookies enabled, and I tried deleting the cookie and revisiting the site but the same thing happens. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but that didn't work either. I am able to access the library on my iPod Touch, and I've tried other browsers on this compute and I can't access them on other browsers either. So it is clearly some issue with my computer that is preventing me from accessing this library. I don't know how else I can resolve this issue and I need to do so ASAP because my inability to access the library off campus is severely hampering my ability to get my work done.

When I designate Firefox as my default browser, I cannot open any destop link to any website, except Mozilla. When I change that designation to Internet Explorer, I can open all destop linked websites, except for Firefox. What do I do?
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? -

I have to do it also to other programs that use the net. This started to happen to me after I installed firefox. It never happened while using IE.Which security software (firewall) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Error Console box opens automatically when I open Firefox. How do I fix this?
The Error Console box opens automatically every time I open Firefox. What can I do to fix this problem. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and restarting computer after doing so.
This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes -
I can only look at one e-mail when I open Firefox. In order to read the next e-mail I have to close and open firefox again. This happened with the new version 4.0. I was happy with firefox before, but I am very unhappy now. The new download also said it disabled my hpweb something and something else (I can't remember what it is, but it is listed somewhere in firefox help area.

when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?
This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify. -
When I sync my devices its starts to sync then it says "canceling sync" how do I fix this problem?, I am running iOS7 on my devices and the newest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks.
The first thing that I always do when I have issues syncing is quit iTunes, restart my Mac and reboot my device.
Reboot your device by holding down on the sleep and power buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons. -
I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4. I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones. When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa. How can I fix this?
"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

I just got an iPod touch. Now I cannot access my music on my Nano when it is connected to my computer (all the titles are in gray). How do I fix this?
That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now? -

I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location. Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu. How do I fix this?
When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
Click to view full size
All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

When I move a shape or text in Photoshop, the dimensions/size changes. How do I fix this?
It's always a decimal point too.
ex 1) moved a 20px x 40px rectangle, and rectangle's dimensions changed to 20px x 40.16px.
ex 2) moved a 124pt text to the right (Shift + arrow right a few times) and text changed to 14.06pt.When I move a shape or text in Photoshop, the dimensions/size changes. How do I fix this?

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?
