Why is internet options available when I have FireFox installed

I just installed FireFox on my DeskTop computer windows 7, and on my Laptop Windows 7.
When I click on the Start button, and search I can find Internet Options. They appear to be active.
Is this right? Or do I need to remove it? I would like a complete, scrub down, removal of all traces of Internet Explorer method for, version 9, 10, and 11. ALSO

Internet Options are not only for IE, but are needed for the Windows OS to connect to internet to download updates or search for help and other actions that require internet.
Firefox also use this for the default "Use the system proxy settings" connection setting to connect to internet.
So you need to make sure that this setup is correct and leave it.

Why does Google show up as the search engine - when I have Firefox installed?

I installed firefox as my browser, because Google is having more and more problems and I do not want them as a search engine. But when I opened Firefox there was Google in the search bar????? It does not work. when I go to an initial website it is ok, but when I try to re-direct to another site - it hangs up and will not connect.

Google pays Mozilla to be the default search engine, but of course you can change it. The search bar is simplest: you just use the drop-down to choose a different search service. If your preferred site isn't available, let us know what it is. The address bar is next simplest, but you need to paste a new preference in through a slightly obscure method. <s>Changing the search box on the built-in Firefox homepage is the hardest.</s> ''The search box on the built-in Firefox homepage can be changed as described in the next post.''
There is some malware going around that redirects Google results to random sites. Usually the pattern is that using the back button to return to the results and clicking again will take you to the correct site. If you think you might have this problem, check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939017 Google Redirect Virus Removal].
As with many security issues, choose any new software tools with a degree of skepticism because some of the purported cures promoted on blogs and fixit sites may be worse than the disease.

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

Looks that your current profile isn't working properly.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

When I have firefox to remember History to remeber passwords all the images on websites are broken or blocked?

When I have Firefox set to Never remember history all the websites that I visit all have there images & videos working properly but the cons is that I always have to put in my password every time I open firefox up. So to solve this problem I had firefox to "Remember History" in order to remember all my passwords to the websites I visit & it actually worked but this had me faced with an even bigger con because now all the images & videos (Example: You Tube) does not work any more making the option useless to the point that it seems firefox is giving me the ultimatum to either remember my passwords or enjoy the internet. I want to do both so how do I solve this problem?

When you are in PB mode then you can only use the Password Manager to enter an already saved password in a form on a web page and you can't store new names and passwords.
You can only store a new password when you are in normal mode.
In PB mode the disk cache is disabled and you get a different (separate) set of cookies, so if it works in PB mode then either of these are causing this issue.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|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
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Why does Captivate 2 not think I have Flash installed?

Why does Captivate 2 not think I have Flash installed? It will not start up even though I have the most recent version of Flash. It tries to redirect me to the download page every time.

The issue is actually due to the way all versions of Captivate prior to version 5 were coded. They were not able to understand the Flash Player numbering beyond a given version. Once that version of Flash Player is exceeded, they give the same error message as shown when your Flash Player version is too LOW.
When Captivate 4 had this issue Adobe provided a download patch to resolve. But you have absolutely NO chance now of getting a fix for something as old as Cp2.

Is it necessary to keep Lightroom 3 on my computer when I have just installed Lightroom 4 ?

Is it necessary to keep Lightroom 3 on my computer when I have just installed Lightroom 4, or do they use some of the same files ??

Yes, I consider this advisable, too - for the moment.
There may be still bugs in for which the ability to revert to LR3 can be very helpful. E.g. if tone curves are lost: the best intermediate solution could be to open LR3 and save the settings to xmp, then close LR3, open LR4 and read metadata from file.
I might uninstall LR3 probably when LR4.2 might be out...

Is Japanese language option available when I subscribed to Creative Cloud in abroad?

Recently I renewed my Creative Cloud membership with full-paid one year subscription. When I bought the subscription last year, I bought it by upgrading from CS3 through discount campaign. I could use Japanese language option since my CS3 was a Japanese version. However, when I updated to CC from CS6 yesterday, all the sudden I could no longer use any applications in Japanese. Because I'm using Mac OSX 10.8 with a Japanese operating system, I need the Japanese language option particularly when editing Japanese text.
If anyone living in the abroad as a foreigner plans to purchase Creative Cloud membership, they should be able to use any applications in their own native language, shouldn't they? I'm really disappointed this major upgrade if this couldn't provide a multi-linguistic platform.

Hide-sobue which country/region did you purchase your subscription? You can find information on the type of subscription you have under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. For information on how to manage your subscription please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1146459.

Right click ANY flash content and choose "Global Settings" Under Advanced, you can check the version and set updating preferences.
