Why Firefox is changing the main window border color by itself ?

I´m using Windows vista home premium.
I´m using Firefox with Aero theme.
my defaults windows are all with black borders.
Few days ago only Fire fox decides by itselft to change the window border from black to light blue !!!
It is very boring because it is only Fire Fox that is acting like that.
I want to use it with black borders.
Every time, I need to close Fire Fox to start using with normal colors... and sudenly, its changes again from black to blue...
Please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== few minutes after firefox is running...couple of days ago...

I tried this, but the problem still exists. I pretty much expected this, because the only window that ever shows this problem is Firefox (and particularly the Firefox window that has had focus for a very long time). I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have anything to do with Windows Aero appearance settings. The time to failure is really strange also . . . I have tried to determine if it happens after returning from the screen saver, or returning from S3, but it doesn't seem to be tied to either of those events. It just seems to happen after x amount of time that the browser window is open. (I am not obsessed with it enough to have tried to figure out what x is : )
For what it's worth, I'm seeing this problem on multiple systems that are running Windows 7, not Vista. Again, it's more of an annoyance than anything else, but it does seem to be associated with the Firefox browser window that has focus.
Hope this helps.

Customizing the main window border

Is it possible in JavaFX 2.0 to customize the main window border?
In particular I'm interested in reproducing what Mozilla have done with Firefox 5/6 on Windows 7 where there is a custom button on the title bar and the glass style border protrudes into the client area to the right of the tabs.

I'm guessing not...

Firefox will open a New Pop-up Window in Windows 7 Aero. When trying to Close it, it thinks it wants me to Close the Main Window. Why?

I use Windows 7 Ultimate in Aero-mode. When a new Firefox window is opened, or a Pop-up window appears, I can't close it without first clicking on that page and clicking the "X" in the corner. Instead, whenever I try to close a window that is not the first window (my main window), it will ask me if I want to close the main window with all the tabs... I have noticed some other slight quirks in this stable release as well, but this one is always present.

When I hover over the window, it does come up front, but as soon as I press the red "X" it goes immediately back to the main window and acts as if I was trying to close that one. Once in a while it will work, but shortly thereafter, it will just go back into this manner. Quite odd. This is the first time I've truly had any problems with Firefox.
In addition to that problem I have noticed a few things, but one that may be linked is sometimes I'll click a link. Although I haven't specified to open it in a new window, it will do so anyhow. This gets annoying quickly. Usually shutting down Firefox and reopening will fix this (and once in a while just leaving it be for a long time). Somehow, I think this issue is somehow linked to the one above.

When I try to File Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

When I try to File > Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

If that file is an FLV file then Firefox should save it as such and not change the file extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

Hi champs,
Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

How can I get the favorites from my favorites tool bar to open in the main window and not the sidebar?

I created a favorites toolbar. When I click on some of the icons, they open in the main window like I expect. Others open in a sidebar which I do not want and cannot even get to full size. How do I get all of them to open in the main window?

Generally, Bookmarks that open in the Sidebar are from links that you clicked on on web sites to add their Bookmark. To change that, right-click on the Bookmarks, opening in the Sidebar, choose "Properties" and un-check "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
*For links and info on Bookmarks, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks How do I use Bookmarks?]

New links will not open in a tab, only in the main window

with firefox 21, links will not open a new tab, only in the main window. I have set the option for tab opening, but it still will not work

Did you installed ASK toolbar?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Why "Firefox is having trouble recovering windows and tabs" message

Why is this happening

hello, this may also be the current problem in firefox 20 that when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards it is mistaken for a crash - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

How to print items in the MAIN window of the NEXT page (smartform)?

Dear forumers,
There are two pages (FIRST and NEXT) in my smartform with the same MAIN windows in each of the pages. Whatever that are changed in FIRST-MAIN window will also be seen in NEXT-MAIN window.
I will need to control the printing of table TABLE3 contents (already contained in the MAIN window) such that if a variable V_MAT_PRINT is 'X', the TABLE3 contents will only be printed in NEXT page and not printed in FIRST page at all.
How may I achieve this? Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Ahsan,
Here's my case.
If V_MAT_PRINT is 'X', print the following:-
FIRST page, MAIN window
- TABLE1
- TABLE2
- TABLE4
- TABLE5
NEXT page, MAIN window
- TABLE3
If V_MAT_PRINT is not 'X', print the following (no additional controls / changes are needed, everything remains unchanged):-
MAIN window
- TABLE1
- TABLE2
- TABLE3
- TABLE4
- TABLE5
In this case, is a page break suitable? I doubt it as TABLE4 and TABLE5 will still need to be printed back on the FIRST page regardless of the V_MAT_PRINT value.
Please advise further. Thanks.

How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Printing from the main window -- song order is not the same as playlist ??

iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
OS 10.6.4
Let's say you have a album with 18 songs. The songs are in the exact order of the album, from 1 of 18 all the way to 18 of 18. (track numbers are also correct, in order). You view by album (constrain the results window by searching for album title)
Now, print. Select any option, (I tried both cd jewel as well as song listing -- doesn't matter which you select).
The ORDER of the printed song list (or jewel case insert) DOES NOT MATCH the order of the songs in the album.
What good is that?
I can recreate this with various albums.
This NEVER happened before version 10.
Anyone have any info on this?
PS -- if you create a PLAYLIST and then copy the album into the playlist, it prints just fine. The issue is printing from the main window when in album view mode.
Thanks,
J

Setting default size for the information area in the main window

Hi, I wonder if there is any way to change the default size of the information area in the main window (lower left corner). I want it a little bigger because I had some useful information set there and I had to change the size every time I log in.
Thanks in advance.

That part of the interface doesn't have an exposed preference to control.
One thing you could do is reorder your metadata fields within the info pane so the most important are listed first and always visible.

IMovie starts but wont show the main window

I have been trying to figure out why iMovie will not start correctly. The system log is not very useful as it doesn't give me the name of the file archive that is incomprehensible:
8/14/09 11:03:53 AM iMovie[1332] * -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: incomprehensible archive (0x62, 0x70, 0x6c, 0x69, 0x73, 0x74, 0x30, 0x30)
iMovie doesn't terminate, it just fails to show the main window and there is no way from the menu/keyboard to show it. It still quits normally using COMMAND+Q/menu. I've removed iMovie preferences, removed iMovie and reinstalled, and even moved the projects folder. Still nada.
To dispel the common things; I have 4GB of memory and that disk has about 200GB left on the main drive.
Any help?

Just in case, I found the solution - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10112664#10112664

When I select a bookmark, the page opens on the left instead of in the main window?

Most bookmarked pages replace the page being displayed. But one of them keeps popping up on the left in a window which can only be expanded to about a third of the width. I need it to open in the main window rather than in the left hand column. Perhaps I should delete the bookmark for this page and try setting it up again so it will behave "normally"?
Thanks for your help!
Bill

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.
