When I switch between tabs the page jumps down about 20 lines. Why? And how do I stop this?

I am running on Mac, OS X 10.9.1 .
When using Firefox if I switch between tabs or open a new tab from a link the page will jump down about 20 lines. This does not happen on all websites. Most notably on Facebook, but a bunch of other sites do it as well.
Help would be nice.
Thanks

After the latest two updates, whenever Firefox starts, the print dialog box appears automatically. Why, and how do I stop this?

Not much else to add. The print dialog box just opens every time Firefox is started or restarted.

Check the Home page setting:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I close Firefox another Firefox browser opens. WHY and how do I stop this?

Every time I close Firefox another Firefox browser opens. Then I close that one and it stays closed. How do I stop it from opening a new Firefox browser on it's own?

Is it possible that you actually have two Firefox windows open and Windows 7 is showing one Firefox on the System task bar, but if you were wave mouse over that, you might see two windows.
To Close Firefox use File > Exit (Alt+F > Exit)
and not the X in the upper right corner which only closes the Window and may or may not close Firefox if it is the last window. The reason it does not always close Firefox is that there may be other tasks running so you don't see Firefox anywhere but in the System Task Manager on the Processes Tab which is where you can see if firefox.exe is running or not. Shortcut to Task Manager on Windows 7 is Ctrl+Shift+Esc (for other Windows systems Ctrl+Alt+Del , select Task Manager,...)

I updated my contacts on icloud and then when i went back in everything i deleted or changed was back, why and how can I stop it?

We have 3 phones and 2 ipads that sync to the same icloud.

Yes, it should work, but to be on the safe site, just start with a new backup in iTunes first.

My Iphone5 won't switch to landscape view when I turn my phone to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen

My Iphone 5 won't turn to landscape view when I turn it to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen...it used to happen automatically...I thought.

I had the same problem but it wasn't because the orientation was locked .
Mine was some kind of glitch that was resolved by holding down the home key and the button on top until the white Apple appeared on the screen .

EXCEL - when I click in a cell or in the formula bar, the page jumps down.

When I click in a cell or in the formula bar, the page jumps down.
I am not clicking on the border, so it's not that.
It doesn't happen in all documents... just some. I copied the info to a new doc and it didn't do it right away, then started happening.
Macros are off.
How can I make this stop happening?
Thanks!

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

I just upgraded my ipad OS and now my ipad is not picking up the 3G network. Why and how do I fix this? When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go. What gives???

Why and how do I fix this? When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go. What gives???
It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should. Now it is searching for the network.

Hello noodles074!
Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
Thank you,

You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.
