Why does Firefox 8 show the getting started screen every time I start it?

Whenever I start Firefox 8 it checks compatibility of my add-ons and then goes straight to the getting Started screen. How do I make it go to my home page instead?

That's weird. It could be that you are currently set to open multiple tabs on start-up. Try restoring to default, by using the "Restore Default" button (under the General tab) and then reenter your Home Page URL.
Here is Firefox Help page on: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page#w_set-what-pages-open-when-firefox-starts How to Set the Home Page] for additional help.

Why does Firefox check compatiblity of add-ons every time I open it? Why am I then directed to Mozilla home page? Why did you not answer this question the last time I asked it?

Preview: Why does it open the last few documents every time it opens?

Whenever I open a file in 'Preview' (any kind of .PDF, .jpeg, etc.) it opens with 2 or 3 windows; the file that I just opened, and also the last 2 or 3 files that I looked at.
Why is it doing this? I've looked through the Preview preferences and I can't find anything that sounds like this.
How do I turn this off?

By turning off autoresume from System Preferences or closing the documents before quitting Preview.

Just delete that file in the temp folder and cleanup that folder.

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
Thanks!

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
And can happen with artist and other tags.
probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.

Is it on your Log-In items?
Do you have a disk or device formatted like a camera card attched to your computer - say with a FAT format?

How do I stop Firefox from checking add-on compatibilty every time I start the program?

In the past 2 days, every time I start Firefox, a "What's New" tab (checking for compatibility of add-ons?) pops up in addition to my homepage tab. How can I keep the "What's New" tab from coming up? It seems like this starting happening after I updated to Firefox 6.0.
Running Windows Vista
Firefox 6.0

Firefox 8 i am on and its doing the same,very annoying,ill be going back to previous version...
do you guys at Firefox ever check your update's on any of your own computers before you release them?
might be a good idea,its the same with kylo,updates come screw everything up when they were working fine...im am a house builder,if i built houses with this many errors i'd be bankrupt by now....

I desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for comparability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser.

I desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for compatability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser. I continue to have to revert to version 9 to resolve this issue.

Sorry to be a while getting back! Tried all of that with no sucess so this AM, bit the bullet and deleted the FF folder from programs and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. Still was plagued with the same problem. Went into the appdata folder and there were two sessionstore.js files. Deleted them both, restarted the browser and no compatibility check for add-ons was done at start up and the extra tab for Welcome to FF was no longer opening Everything seems to be working as it should and I did not loose any of my settings.. Thank you for trying to help and I hope my solution helps anyone else who might experience this in the future. Here's hoping the next update goes smoother!

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it?

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it? It never used to do this. How can I stop it ? When I open the app I usually want to just listen to the music collection I have in it, not download anything or buy from the store.
How can I stop this default ?

I have checked and it isn't.
This never used to happen, but I suspect something changed at the last iTunes update.

Why does my language revert to English US EVERY time. Can I set it permanently to English UK?

Why does my language revert to English US EVERY time. Can I set it permanently to English UK? I mean when I go onto Apple web site and forums.

Are you talking about the spell checking? Or the keyboard layout? Safari, or some other browser?
For spellcheck, go to system prefs/language & text/text/spelling and set it to British English. Also go to system prefs/language & text/language and use the Edit button to add British English to the top of the list.
