• Deactivation of the "tap to click" on the touchpad and disappear the taskbar

  I LOVE Windows 7 and all its new features. But:

  • When my computer wakes up from the screen saver, when my computer is idle and disconnects me to save energy, or when I start my computer, the taskbar disappear. I got a quick fix for it, but it's annoying to have to do it every time I start a session on my computer. I go to the options screen sleep, hit preview, then I move the mouse out of the eve preview screen, and my taskbar are back. I'm assuming that this is a bug, is there a fix yet?
  • I have small hands that often brush against the Mouse touchpad on my laptop when I type, causing my mouse "tap to click on ' and I often find myself typing away in my document elsewhere. It is really annoying, especially since I'm working on a paper of 10 pages right now. I looked all OVER for a way to disable this feature, but I'm not. It's kind of ruin the ease with which I'm typing emails, documents and even this help forum.

  Important things... I have Windows 7 enterprise, which my college loaded on my laptop. I upgraded from XP, where I somehow fixed the mouse thing to not be a problem for me.

  Hi Magruderjc,

  Thanks for the information. What type of laptop do you have? You have downloaded the latest driver for touchpad for this laptop? Generally in this driver, you will see the tap to click options.

  Thank you. Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• SimplePass update, icon now always made the pinned to the taskbar

  On my laptop dv6t, I let the software auto-updated to HP install what he wanted to update. After he did, an icon associated with Simplepass is pinned to the taskbar and I can't get rid of it.  Right click and select 'Unpin this program from the taskbar' do nothing.  How can I get rid of him. I want to keep the program. But don't want the icon pinned to the taskbar.

  Then, when I opened Microsoft Excel, he said that a material change has been detected and I have to re - activate. Why would this happen?  How can I keep it from happening. Is it better to just never leave HP update anything?

  I tried something in the sense of what aperez1221 suggested, and it seems to be an acceptable solution. I wasn't sure what you mean by ' unchecking the pass simple site.»  So I opend SimplePass and entered parameters.  I unchecked everything under "activate features and then tried to re - check one by one.  I have determined that only LaunchSite deactivating solves the problem and seems to leave the programme of work as it did before.  So thank you aperez1221 for pointing me in the right direction.

  I don't know what I'm missing out on by disabling LaunchSite.  This solution may not work for anyone who uses the features enabled by LaunchSite. I did not understand what are these features. Seems like QuickLaunch, which allows me to drag a finger to open a program or a web site (in a new browser window). And I can still connect to websites using my finger as well.  Thus, with only disabled LaunchSite, SimplePass plans what he did before and no longer repinned himself to the taskbar.

  I left that open for now in case someone has a solution that requires no LaunchSite, regardless of disabling that does.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 337c: right click on the taskbar for programs no longer works.

  1. product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 337C

  2. operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Edition Home Premium (64-bit); Service Pack 1; Build number 7601; Version of DirectX 11.

  3. error message: None; wish that it is.

  4. all changes made to your system until the problem occurred: Geez, there was so much.

  Problem: It used to not be that way.  Whenever I right click on a program open on the taskbar, and move the mouse to the added elements or recent-objects, disappears from the list.  The mouse does not work, but I can still use the cursor up/down arrows to select the item, press ENTER, and it works.  But there may be other problems related to the use of the mouse; We'll save those for later.

  Thank you

  There is the possibility that there is a third-party shell extension that is the cause of the problem. You can analyze that yourself with a free utility called ShellExView. This may take some trial and error, deactivation and activation on your part.

  Only disable a single extension, both for troubleshooting, then turn it back on. If too many extensions at the same time, more specifically shell extensions Microsoft is off, then you might get a operating system unbootable.

• How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

  I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, Amos.

  Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

  • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
  • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
  • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings

• Why isn't the taskbar Windows 10 stay on top when browsing with Firefox?

  For one reason or another, the Windows 10 taskbar is not displayed on the top of the Firefox browser windows/pages. He remains at the top in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Why won't it stay on top in Firefox? I need to be able to see the time and date while browsing. Is there a solution to this? Please inform me of how to remedy the situation as soon as POSSIBLE, or I have to use Google Chrome (but I won't!).

  If Firefox is in display full screen, that allows to block the taskbar. You can switch from full screen to normal display using either:

  • F11
  • Drag the pointer of the mouse to the top of the screen, right-click on an empty area of the bar tab, then exit fullscreen

  If this is not it, sometimes the file that stores the dimensions of the window becomes corrupt with nonsense values. Since the file is difficult to edit, you can rename and have Firefox back to windows default sizes.

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  This process may disable some of the bars that you want to display. To enable their return, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

• Att/yahoo updated my email, which suggests to select Firefox as the browser, but how to get back the taskbar?

  Att/yahoo updated my email, which suggests to select Firefox as the browser, but how to get back the taskbar?

  Hi, you are missing the taskbar Windows, which usually appears at the bottom of the screen? Firefox normally does not block the taskbar if you do not use the mode full-screen. To check if you are using full-screen, you can use the F11 key that toggles between full screen and normal mode.

  Or if you meant the menu bar (File, Edit, View), you have two options:

  (1) display on request: press the ALT key to press F10 to display bar temporarily

  (2) time full display: you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select menu bar it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  Success?

• Use F'fox on Windows 7, when I have several windows open, why the relative location of these windows in the taskbar sometimes change?

  In general, I have three windows open Firefox, each with several tabs. Firefox itself is pinned to the Windows taskbar. Some of the tabs are set to reload.

  The behavior that I find strange is that the window that initially had the means of the taskbar sometimes migrating to the first position. This behavior can be controlled, or the less predicts?

  Thank you

  Hi Avocet,
  I guess this change because it's the last window to load a new page or which has been highlighted. If this happens on one of the tabs autoload, that might explain it.

  It seems that the other had the same question and had a tweak of operating system: http://superuser.com/questions/680406/how-to-order-windows-of-the-same-pro...

• Firefox does not appear (it will be 'open', although it seems that it is open in the taskbar)

  I don't know if it's a coincidence that he himself has updated to 37.0, but it must be...

  When I click the task bar on Firefox and on the desktop icon, it opens on the taskbar, when I select the taskbar it shows even Firefox loaded Google (my default Web page)... But it never occurred to the screen.

  I have:
  -Windows 8.0 (No 8.1 and I'm not on the upgrade because it works better than 8.1)
  -Noscript add-on/plugin, or more
  -the drivers up to date

  I tried:
  -Uninstall and reinstall the version the most recent (37.0)
  -Uninstall 37.0 and installation of Firefox Web site archive 36.0
  -Restart my computer after install
  -Disabling service maintenance on installation

  I "allow" - ed the windows popup install twice and it does not help.
  The first time, it tries to open, she went to the yellow background on the taskbar to open programs, you have not yet used.
  However, when I click on it nothing comes on the screen. When I select always watch here my homepage. I can't do the thing in firefox update because I can't even display. I don't get the error messages on my computer, which is weirder. I updated and ran windows defender full scan and found nothing (but it is not surprising to "defender", lol).

  Once he opens the first time, even open another page opens nothing. Then it crashes and does close, even if you right click and you try to close all the windows... I have to use the Task Manager to close at the end of task...

  I don't know how to open the 'xpi' convenience store thing, sorry...

  And no whining, but why is - it so suddenly broken XD... And more important still, how in the world I can't come back to work? I use this terrible chrome I got lucky to have right on my computer already, which I only got to see one thing a long time ago and I forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate to use chrome, it is actually works perfectly for me now... Thank you for any help will be much appreciated...

  The Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

  %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

  Thank you! Your thing 'out of scope' brought me exactly what I need! I realized it was broken because of my second monitor/TV... It wasn't "on" the TV, but because he was off it broke somehow... So, once I've restarted BOTH on, she came back to my main screen/monitor (no tv). I don't know why he did it, but he must have crashed on my main screen because the TV was turned off... Strange...

• Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

  Hello

  I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

  Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

  https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

  I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

  Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

  It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
  M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

  The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

  All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

  I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi jscher2000

  I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

  I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

  I am now free twinkle

  Thanks for your quick response however.

• A button to the Firefox window in the taskbar instead of several

  I want just one button in the taskbar of my computer for the Firefox window and not several, each window for each open tab. How can I do?

  There is a setting for whatever inform Windows on each of the individual tabs or only the active tab in each separate window. Here's where you can check and adjust that:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs Panel

  It's the last item: "show glimpses of tab in the Windows task bar. If this is checked, you get all THE tabs in all windows in the taskbar, and if it is unchecked, you get only the active tab in each window.

• After having FF recently upgraded, it always opens minimized, with an icon on the taskbar but will maximize not for me to use it - teacher W7 64 operating system

  I had a lot of problems with Vi-view infecting Firefox recently, but I have deleted successfully. Train removed and reinstalled Firefox. On the re-setup, Firefox works perfectly. However, if I close the program and try to open it, I have a problem. An icon appears in the taskbar and if I go over it, it shows a normal startup of Firefox tab. However, I can't optimize the screen to use the program. If I try to bring it to the top, a small picture will fly to the right of the screen.
