Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • How do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!

    how do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!
    WHEN it decides to run it does NOT member passwords.
    And besides, if I WANTED NEW I would DOWNLOAD NEW!!!
    ''[Profanity removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • When printing from iphoto all photographs ar printed in a pop art style rather than as seen - how do I change this to printing the photo as seen

    When printing from iphoto all photographs are printed in a pop art style rather than as seen - how do I change this to printing the photo as seen?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Damaged preference files can cause a varitety of problems which you wouldn't think it could. Deleting and regenerating the pref file is one of the basic fixes to try.

  • My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • Hi I've just download os x mavericks 10.9 on my macbook pro the trouble is when i am on the internet my screen goes of it keeps saying put in your password how can i stop this every time the screen goes to sleep

    hi I've just download os x mavericks 10.9 on my macbook pro  the trouble is when i am on the internet my screen goes of it keeps saying put in your password how can i stop this everytime the screen goes to sleep

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • All of a sudden Safari is automatically  launching loud and annoying ads.  How can I stop this

    Annoying and loud ads are popping up and playing automatically in Safari.  How can I stop this?  I have 8.0.5 and OS 10.10.3

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • I have ms exchange on my iphone 4s and when i read my email, it disappears. Where does it go and how do I stop this from happening?

    I recently aquired an iphone 4s due to the fact that our parent corporation requires us to use either a blackberry or iphone in order to have the protection needed to use their email. In MS Exchange, when I recieve an email, I read it once, then it's gone. Very frustrating as I need to keep those emails available. Where do they go and How do I stop this from happening?

    i actually got it figured out. I have multiple email accounts i have to use due to different corporate offices ( which can be a real headache at times). The exchange account is an active server used by Hilton and its an actual account. What was happening is my mail was getting kicked back to their server for storage. Once I contacted Hilton, they corrected it on their end. Thanks for trying to help out.

  • When I open a HTML document in Safari all the images change to a ?  How do i stop this and get the images back?

    When I open a HTML document in Safari rather then getting an image, I get a ? in a box.  Why is this and how can I change it to get the images back?

    monkeyde,
    You are getting entagled in the two confusing meanings of the term pixels, namely as a unit identical to points and equalling 1/72 inch, and the basic component of raster images (and effects).
    You can read on in this very recent thread:
    Is there a way to get Illustrator to know how many pixels are in an inch?

  • TS3899 why does all emails sent from my phone being sent to my phone contacts and how do i stop this?

    how do i stop all email address sent from my phone from being added to my contact list?

    What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
    Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

    You've checked the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, and have you made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions ?  If not and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page (we are fellow users on these forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HELP!! I am trying to download past purchases bc I lost all my other music on my old computer.  iTunes will not let bc my computer is not authorized???  HOW can I fix this- I want the music! thank you

    Help- I am trying to download all the past purchases I have made. (my old computer crashed-lost everything) BUT i am getting a message stating my computre is not authorized-- yet I just purchased songs tonight!!  I am looking all over to try and fix this-- HOW?!?!  Help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there, to authorize a computer, you open up itunes, and at the very very top lefthand corner, there will be a little window. Click on that, and it will present you with a list of options.  From there, you go to the third option down, which says "Itunes Store," hover over it with your mouse, and it will give you another set of options. From there, you can see the two options, "Authorize" an "Deauthorize computer.  Just  click on "Authorize," enter in your apple ID and password, and your computer will be authorized! Hope I helped, ~Samuel

  • All my apple devices ring with each incoming phone call. How can I stop this?

    All of my apple devices ring with each incoming phone call. This includes an iPhone 6, an iPhone 4s, and an iPad mini (FaceTime). We have 2 different phone numbers, but they now seem interchangeable? How can I direct each phone call to its rightful phone?

    This is part of Apple continuity.  ON all of the devices go to settings - facetime - turn off iphone cellular calls.
    also don't use the same apple id for facetime.
