Why does FF open old website windows from my last on line session, when i start a brand new session after logging out?

1) I went on firefox (ff) this morning and visited a few web sites
2) I logged off (ff) and quit using the I-net
3) later in the morning I logged back on to the I-net using (ff) and it opened the last web site I was looking at in my previous session instead of the regular "home page" I usually get when I open (ff).
4) it is as if (ff) is making the last web site I visited from a prior session, my new home page each subsequent time I log on to the I-net.

Make sure that Firefox is closed properly to avoid opening a possibly crashed session the next time.
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • Firefox does not open pop-up windows from java script even if blocking pop-up is disabled for those sites

    I need to use pop-up windows for some e-mail sites which use java, but firefox doesn't do anything, even if i allowed pop-ups for those sites or disable completely

    If the settings in Firefox are correct then make sure that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) isn't blocking pop-ups, some have advanced features that include blocking pop-ups.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Can/Could/Why-Can't-We Open a Terminal Window from Finder...

    I do a lot of development needing a terminal window but also need to bounce about a lot between file system areas (my machine, our NFS drives in our fleet, etc.).
    It'd be nice if we could open a terminal window from Finder. I.e., If I'm in Finder and see that I need to work in the terminal window (be it with IDL*, NCL, gcc, etc) I can do a quick GUI click or keykick or whatever, and be happily dropped into a terminal window in that directory. The alternative for me now is to open Terminal from my doc and dig through the file system to my destination.
    Can I do that in Finder? I seem to remember in a past life with (ahem) an certain other "operating system" that just released their "apology" edition, that you could do this from their File Exploder. If not, gee, wouldn't that be nice to add, kids?

    Thanks for the help on this!
    The Matt's macoshints solution (the first comment by Greg Spence, below) was simple enough and met my requirements very nicely, thanks much. (the script is below)
    tell application "Finder"
    set myWin to window 1
    set theWin to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
    tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    tell window 1
    do script "cd " & theWin & ";ls -al | more"
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    It worked on the local mac, my unix nsf drives, and the samba drives to which I am connected.
    I also tried the cd-to script but as I use tcsh it was not working for me. Other potential users have apparently cited the problem as well (nice simple icon graphic for the finderbar though).

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu?

    I have a significant number of files in my Macbook Air. A lot of them are research papers and medical literature.
    About a month ago I updated the operating system from snow Leopard to mountain Lion and I had no reasons to complain except a smaller battery time.
    Since then I installed every OS update.
    After the last update, a few days ago, Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu.
    Spotlight continues to work properly if I write a name or expression in spotlight in a finder window but not in the upper left corner at the menu bar
    As this been described yet?
    Thank you in advance
    Miguel Tavares

    I had the same problem yesterday after performing a clean install of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my MacBook Pro.
    I resolved the problem by booting from the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition and then running Disk Utilty (Repair) for the primary disk on which Mountain Lion is installed.  It identified (and repaired) many permissions issues...
    When I rebooted following the repair, Spotlight worked again properly -- including the "Show All in Finder" function.

  • Why does the Right-click - "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click - "t" opens a new tab elsewhere. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click - "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to...

    Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

  • Why does iMessage open when I"m chatting in google?

    Why does the login to iMessage window open up when I'm chatting through gmail?

    Hi,
    By default the first thing the Messages app asks you to do is enter an Apple ID to use for the iMessages account.
    You can ignore this and use the set up to add other accounts (or use the System Preferences > Internet Accounts to enable them).
    If it is not already, I would go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and in the iMessages account untick the box for "Enable this Account" even if it does not have an Apple ID.

  • Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

    I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
    How can this be solved?
    Patrick.

    Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?

  • Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Hi,
    The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
    Your choices are
    1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
    2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
    3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
    Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.

  • Safari won't open to 'all windows from last session'

    Safari is set to open to 'all windows from last session' - but it opens to a blank page.  Not every time, but 75%+.  I usually have multiple tabs open, not always the same ones, and this is slow, annoying and tedious to frequently reconstruct where I left it.
    Any ideas?
    I just moved to a MacBook from Windows and I am surprised to have an issue like this crop up so quickly (or well ever - based on Apple's reputation, that is - and all the glowing things my firends and associates have told me)

    Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy / paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    BTW, if you enable the Develop menu you can empty the Safari cache easily instead of having to go through your user library.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Then from the Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Develop > Empty Caches
