When i start a new browser session, all of my currently open, but minimized sessions all pop up! this has only started with Windows 7

Let's say I open a browser window, and navigate to Google mail. I minimize that, and open another browser window. The session with Google mail opens up, and I have to minimize it. I navigate to a web site from a Google search, and minimize it. I open another browser window, and the Google mail and the search results windows both open again. I can't seem to find a way to KEEP the browser windows minimized when I open a new one!

The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Screen has little boxes all over, uninstalled and reinstalled but boxes are still there. This is only program with this problem.

    When I opened Firefox this A.M the screen came up with little boxes, in columns, covering the whole screen. Four of the columns are colored in like a cash register tape that is running out of paper. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with no change. This is the only program on this computer that this is happening with. Please advise.
    Thank you,

    This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
    You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).
    *fontinfo: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fontinfo/
    You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

    When I ring someone from my iPhone 4 they can't hear me sometimes and other times they can hear me fine. This has only started happening since I updated to iOS 6 it was perfect the day before.

    Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
    A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
    We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
    It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

  • I cannot access the internet using firefox. The little toolbar identical (the far upper right in the screen) pops up and nothing else happerns. This has only started very recently and I have not had this problem in the past.

    When I click on the icon for firefox, a little toolbar (the one you see in the top right corner of the screen) pops up and nothing else happens. I'll close it out and retry, with only the same results. I tried Firefox safemode, with the same result. Like there is something blocking me, but I don't know what. It doesn't matter if I've been on the computer for some time or just started up, I cannot access the web thru Firefox. This has only started in the last couple days. Previously, I've never had this problem. I haven't loaded any new programs anytime recently to account for this. I use Norton for my anti virus program which is the newest and had since end of December. I am not happy having to use the windows internet explorer, so would be very happy to get this resolved. Should I uninstall the mozilla program, and then reinstall it?

    "I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
    Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
    "The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
    Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
    Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
    Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

  • When i first open firefox homepage (opens with google) after 3 seconds page freezes and cannoct be closed. i have to open seconed homepage to shot pc down. this has only happened since i installed firfox 4. what do i do to fix this

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Im having problems with loading Google Maps, it takes a while to load up. This has only started doing this recently.I changed to Mozilla from IE Exporer as that was useless.

    Mozilla runs fine with other web sites but when I use Google Maps it struggles to load up maps. Looks like there is a constant exchange between Google and Mozilla which is slowing up the loading. This has only been happening about 3 weeks ago, it was perfect before that so maybe it could be the Mozilla update that I accepted.

    try replacing the sim card after that it needs to be replaced and since you had some one else open up the phone you would lose the out of warranty replacement price and have to buy a new one at the full retail value

  • When i click on a web link in an email, i receive a "general failure" message reading "an error occured in sending the command to the application". this has only started since my upgrade to 5.0

    i have an HP Pavilion with Windows 7, Outlook 2007 and Firefox 5.0. since my upgrade to 5.0, i receive the following error message when clicking on a url in an email. message reads:
    General failure. The URL was: [here it repeats the URL]. An error occurred in sending the command to the application.
    what is the cause? what can be done to correct?
    thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem after updating to 6.0.2 on Win 7 Pro SP1. Did not have any problems prior to upgrade to 6.0.2. (setting IE as default browser - yuk - allows links to be clicked with no problem)

  • I cannot open my banking page or open PDF's from any mozilla browser. All of my applications work fine in Internet Explorer. This has only started happening for the last week or so.

    Hi Chris,
    Well, I tried to delete the Caches and I threw all the .plist files related to microsoft in the trash -- athough I don't know if this is the way to delete files but I haven't found another yet....
    From your other suggestions, it seems to me that you have the impression that I want to stop using Microsoft Office (it was 2007, I made a mistake) though... but this is not the case.
    So... tell me if I misunderstood correctly or if I did anything wrong, or if you have anything else to suggest...
    Thanks a lot anyways!

  • The back and forward browser buttons are NOT ALWAYS available to use, so once I open a web-site I can not go back to what I was looking at previously. This has only started happening recently?

    The back and forward browser button always works when we first get online, and then over some time it will not work and then will work again (working again is happening less). I have re-started the computer many times to fix the issue.

  • Added records in DB are not show in page until start a new browser

    I am inserting a record in my DB table by writing a code in my App Module Impl class. The code is shown below:
    EntityDefImpl productDef = ActivitySubtype_EOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
    ActivitySubtype_EOImpl newSubActivityType = (ActivitySubtype_EOImpl)productDef.createInstance2(getDBTransaction(),null);
    newSubActivityType.setAttribute("SubActivityName",subActivityType);
    getDBTransaction().commit();
    getDBTransaction().clearEntityCache(null); // Here I have tried lot of other function like refresh(), setClearCacheOnCommit() but noting works.
    For updating the cache I have tried many functions but nothing is working. I mean that I when I go to the same browser and view the rows, the row is added but without any PK (which is being generated by a sequence fired by trigger in my DB), until I start a new browser to see the record. When I start a new browser and view the rows I can see everything in sync with the DB table. Can someone let me know how to update the View Object cache?
    Appreciate your kind help.
    Thanks,

    Hello John,
    Many thanks for your reply. I have marked the configuration you have talked about, but still it does not work.
    I understand that the problem is that my VO cache is not getting updated on its own. When I open a new browser, for this new session when the SQL query gets fired, the VO cache gets updated from the DB and the changes are visible in the new page.
    To overcome this problem I tried adding row using my VO (and not EO, as in my previous case). But I am getting some NullPointerException in that.
    Here is the code and exception.
    Code:
    String amDef = "model.activity.subtype.Second_AMImpl";
    String config = "Second_AMLocal";
    ApplicationModule secondAM = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(amDef, config);
    ActivitySubType_VOImpl svcReqs = (ActivitySubType_VOImpl) secondAM.findViewObject("ActivitySubType_VOImpl");
    if(svcReqs != null)
    System.out.println("I am NOT NULL");
    else
    System.out.println("I am NULL"); // This object is null
    Row newSvcReq = svcReqs.createRow();
    svcReqs.insertRow(newSvcReq);
    Exception:

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
    The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    Here are some other things to check:
    (1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    (3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
    (4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Hopefully that cures it.

  • Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes.  iTunes does not "see" the devise.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

    Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista).  iTunes does not "see" the device.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.  Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

    OK.  You merely erased the content and settings.  The IOS is still there.
    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures.  From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.
