When I start firefox my options (settings) get set back to the defaults and I am re-directed to the firefox start page instead of my home page. version 3.6.8
This problem started after upgrading to 3.6.8. It first looked as if Firefox is looking to update some plug-ins, despite setting it not to look for updates. I have the same plug-ins for a long time (MS drm, ad-block +, Java and script .
I wonder if locking the prefs would help, or make it read only.
Thank you for any help - I am a firebox addict.
Possibly a locked or corrupt preferences file. For details on this see the [[preferences are not saved]] article.

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back. I uninstalled and reinstalled safari twice, but the address bar still isn't there and neither are the view options. If there anyway to get it back?
I'd try the following user tip with that:

Hey there marvel10,
I understand that you are experiencing issues with your ability to launch certain apps on your iPad. There is an article on Apple’s knowledge base about this issue, and the article can be found below:

recently recieved a second hand Iphone 4. I was testing the Camera, the rear one worked perfectly fine, however when i pressed the switch button the front facing camera shutter freezed and started flickering. In order to get it back to the rear camera I have to reset my settings. Does anyone know why the front facing camera is doing this and how i can fix it.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1I would ask the person you received it from if they've had this issue.
You can completely close out of the camera, then do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until yo usee the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up. -
I have PowerBook G4, running 10.5.8. Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture. Thanks for the help.
Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop.
Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs. -

Stevejobs has the right answers, except I have a different set, in this case. A double tap by 1 finger zooms the screen.
A single finger double tap zooms the page/picture/paragraph, not the entire screen.
This option is different. It zooms the entire screen, not just the page/picture/paragraph.
This is enabled in Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. -
My 4s is stuck in recovery mode, and when I try to restore it I get a message that the device is not connected
Hi, are you doing it through Settings or via iTunes? If doing it through Settings, try plugging it in via USB and updating with iTunes. Hope this helps.

On my computer I apply for unemployment benefits at the Unemployment Insurance Agency web-site. Just recently, when I log in for benefits, I get to the second page, and I get automatically kicked back to the log-in page. I went to my local library, and I do not have this problem. I do not understand why I can log in, get to the second page, then I click proceed and I have to start all over without ever getting to the third page. Can someone figure this out?
Yes AT&T is my ISP. I use DSL. Currently I am not at my home address. I am currently on a cable modem on COX.com.
I am also receiving a warning message "WARNING: Parental control appears compromised!". -

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?
Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this? -
I'm running V7.0, but when I launch Firefox, a page comes up with a heading "Almost there!" followed by a message that this "version is out of date". Then a second normal tab/page of the browser opens.
Yes I close the first tab but it has become a source of irritation since I installed V7.0See these articles for some suggestions:

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?
Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?
Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.
