Why won't websites I visit stay the way I set them up when I use Firefox?

As an example: When I go to MSNBC I set the number of articles for different subjects and they revert to default every time I open firefox. This does not happen with IE. Another is I have to log in to get to my hotmail & Gmail account every time I re-enter the browser. Please help .
Thanks, Nicholas

You have accidentally told Firefox not to remember cookies, or to refuse them.
Cookies are small text files that websites use to store information used by them, such as your session ID (so you can "remember" sessions), a tracking ID (used by ad platforms to offer you personalised advertisements), or simply few preferences websites have.
This cookies are sometimes abusive (for example, the tracking IDs), so some users may want to disable them.
In order to tell Firefox to allow cookies again, go to Firefox/Options (Edit/Preferences), privacy tab and choose Firefox will: "Remember history" in the combo box.
If you tried to disable browser history, that's the reason for which you have this problem. In that case you want firefox not to remember your browsing history, choose Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" and uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" and "Clear history when Firefox closes" and check the "Accept cookies from websites" checkbox.

Metadata Columns will not stay the way I order them

I have PPro CS6 and cannot get the Metadata columns or their off/on status to stay the way I want them. I've tried saving my settings to a custom name and find that using it to try and restore my settings does nothing, at least not in terms of the order I want the columns to be. Also, should the Metadata panel settings change when I change Workspaces? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mark,
Many thanks for your very clear explanation of how this works. After posting I played around some more and I began to see a pattern which pointed to what you've written.
I'll have to experiment with some scenarios to make sure I understand this more fully. I was getting pretty frustrated.
None of the training I've done explains this beyond the most basic level, but as I'm discovering, there are many little "gotchas" which most training simply glosses over. Having said that, I do enjoy the challenges... keeps me on my toes. PPro is one hell of a product, and I use it as an amateur for my own personal stuff.
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to me. Thanks.
Jim

Why do my folders in my finder keep changing size and the way I set them up ....??!?!?!?!

I cant seem to post a picture here but they are dis proprtionate to each other and ALL over the place, I set them up to be set up a certain way and it keeps changing. It is really getting me angry!!!! Any help??

Good grief!!!! I see what you mean now.
Hold down the option key>Finder>Go>Library>Preferences. Trash the com.apple.finder.plist file, repair permissions and restart your computer. Empty the trash.
Open up your messed up document folder and click on the gear like icon in its menu>Arrange by - select your arrangement>Show View Options. Click the Use As Default button. Your arraingements should now stick.

I can't seem to use the 'Check seats' link on Delta when I use Firefox but Safari works fine. I get the message 'not available at this time' when using Firefox but when I go to Safari it works fine.

Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.

My finder home window will not stay the way I set it

How do I keep my Finder window opening the way I leave it? Everytime I reboot or use folders in finder window my home view changes from icon to list or size changes. I reset it and it stays for awhile then changes to other view.

You will have to change the Home Page to the page your want to display. In order to do so, follow the steps below:
* Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
* Go to the General tab;
* Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
Also, make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).
Hope this helps!

See:

* You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* You can see all exceptions in Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* You can check the Tools > Page Info > Media tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

I use a macbook pro retina. I use a 32 in. monitor and use it full screen. I size the screen manually. Since i upgraded to maverick, I have to resize the screen each time I change windows.Before the upgrade the screen stayed where I put it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I enlarge my tabs and keep them the way I set them? My page zooms in and out but my file, bookmarks, etc. tabs stay the same size.

using the view tab, I select Zoom. Zoom in only increases appearance of web page. The tabs (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help) all remain the same size! Way too small to read! This sucks and I don't LIKE IT!

That sounds very handy. Nice going. A kind of backup would be to
create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager, and keep a list of links there.
Just one note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
are open. Because the window with the 90 tabs was closed first, then the
other, that is what caused your issue.

The Task bar at the bottom of my computer dissapears when I use Firefox how do I get it back?

I think I clicked something near the bottom of Firefox, and now the task bar at the bottom of the computer screen disappears when I go on Firefox. It goes a bit transparent when I first goon Firefox but then disappears completely when I click anywhere on Firefox. I want to have the task bar back. (By task bar I mean the thing at the bottom with the start menu and things on)

This has happened to me in Chrome, Firefox & IE. (I have Windows 8).
So many other people have had this issue over the past couple of years in forums. They have all been "Closed/Solved" but they have NEVER been solved!!
(Hint: It is not solved by toggling task bar properties etc etc etc or dragging anything anywhere or messing with explorer.exe or clicking F11 / F10 or F bloody anything else!! etc etc et bloody cetra! ! So don't talk about that!!! I can go to my 11yo for such mundane, non-thinking wastes of time!!)
Why can't someone do something to fix it?!
No wonder Microsoft can only exist through size but not with client service!!

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

Why won't my Apple TV display the setup screen?

Why won't my Apple TV display the setup screen? I have changed hdmi cable, confirmed the correct input, checked connection but nothing. HELP!!! I have a Bose System and use a universal remote, Logitech. Could this be a factor?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly does your Apple TV display.

HT1338 Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get internet

Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
 Cheers, Tom

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

Why won't websites I visit stay the way I set them up when I use Firefox?
