Windows open on projector - have to unplug.
This is driving me nuts. I have my classroom imac connected to an epson projector. When I want to share the screen (mountain lion) I mirror the displays. When I want to use my computer at its native resolution, or want privacy I unmirror the displays. I often have the projector powered off, and the imac connected to it. However many applications (have not yet detected a pattern - seems random) open their windows on the POWERED DOWN projector. The only way I have found to gather them so I can use them is to disconnect the display. This is a pain, as I am constantly fiddling with cords on the back of the mac during my day.
Is there anyway to get the mac to ignore the projector (powered off) even when connected?
Yes the imac is primary in the displays prefererences. (ie title bar appears on my mac, not the projector).
Even an app that gathers wind
Hi Brian, might try this...
On Lion you can toggle Mirror Displays using fn+Cmd+F1 (provided you are using the media control keys as default).
Or a couple of AppleScripts...

It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update. -
Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open
Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.
Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.
I have a .pdf file open in Adobe Reader that is on my works P:/ drive. Then I open a .tif file from a website in Windows Phone and Fax Viewer and Right click it and select "Convert to Adobe PDF". I get the following message
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.tif" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has not been damaged (For example, it was sent as a an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I have a work around for this. Simply closing the Adobe Reader that was previously opened and the attempting to "Convert to Adobe PDF" will then work properly. Was wondering if there was a fix to this issue beacuse it is frustrating to always have to close my other .pdf files to do this action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. -

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?
I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation. -
This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.
This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I have in my ipad icloud backup window open and I can't close and I can't do anything I tried to press OK and nothing happen is freezing
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Seems like when FF restores a session, it restores the session of the last window open. If you use tabs as a way of keeping a list of things to do or look at, you have to be careful if you have a second window open to close the second window before your main one, or you will lose your list. I'm absent minded though and do this all the time. The only way to prevent this is bookmark all my tabs once a day, but I tend to forget to do even that. Any workaround for this?
When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough. -
When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

Is there any way to have new windows open in a different location besides on top of the current one?
I work with a data entry company and I'd like to have a New Window open on the right side of the screen instead of constantly opening directly on top of the current window (which is about 1/2 the screen on the left). Is there any settings or add-on that will let me do this? I have to do this a lot when I'm working and constantly having to drag the new window to the right so I can see it and work in the window on the left is a pain.
You could try using the Custom Geometry extension and see how that works for you. ''I have been having problems with it on WinXP since Firefox 4.0 was released last year, maybe it will work better for you on Windows7.''
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-geometry/
In Options for that extension setup additional Custom Geometry options ''(height, width, left, & top)'' with different offsets, and when you open an additional window use the drop-marker on the CG toolbar button to select the offset you want for that new window.
That drop-marker menu hasn't been working properly on my PC, but I use still use CG when running multiple Profiles - each with a different offset, so that I have access at the edge of the current window to "grab" another Profile when I want. -
I frequently have a couple of windows with several tabs in each window open. For example, I always have a small window open in the corner of my screen with a time tracking program set up. Sometimes when I open a new tab or window and go to a URL (not thru a search engine, but just directly), it will "hijack" one or more of my other tabs/windows and plug in that same URL, losing whatever I had previously open. I've checked through all the prefs and I don't see why or how this problem is happening. What gives? I'm on an iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 using Firefox 34.0.5. HELP!
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
