Facebook dings when the browser is not open

I've just updated my Firefox browser yesterday. I stay connected to Facebook all the time but I only do it on my computer and I do not use the Messenger. I get the dings of Facebook, whenever I receive messages even if my browser has not been launched. I use Facebook mobile Web site on my 3DS and was able to make the correlation through it.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Updated, runs in background but the browser will not open

    Firefox automatically updated today, and I restarted the browser. Or at least tried to. the process runs in the background, but the browser itself will not open at all. I am running Windows 7, and it seems, in the bar of windows, as if its going to open, but it's fading. When I went to uninstall it said that it was still running. Stopped the process, uninstalled and reinstalled, but the same problem. Cannot use troubleshooting tasks because I can't in the browser at all!

    Is currently working with a secondary browser, which is fine, but I really want to back Firefox!

  • After closing a browser window and if I open a new browser window, the browser does not open by my home page in tools/options/commissioning, it loads the last page

    recently, at the opening of a new browser, all is using and closed my last session opens

    several widows will open and no matter what the tabs were opened by respective windows will open and not through tools/options/start/homepage

    It never happened until recently and nothing else seems to have changed or new programs etc has been loaded or changed

    You can remove the user.js, as it shouldn't be there unless you have created the file yourself.

    If you set the pref in this file then you'll lose open tabs if you need to restart Firefox after installing a new extension, as this is the main reason for the use of this preference.
    So remove the user.js file or at least this line if you want to continue to be reset possible other present prefs in the file each time you start Firefox.

    This file is read every time you start Firefox, so changes made to the Pref set via this file only last for the current session.

  • Folders of bookmarks in Safari in the Favorites bar not open click when you access one after another

    Question: The records of Safari bookmarks in the bookmarks bar not open click when you access one after another

    Diagnostic steps:

    (1) create 2 or more folders in the bookmarks with the individual sites in their breast.  (Examples of folder name: career, finances and health)

    (2) safari > display > display favorite bar. All the Favorites should be visible in the main window of Safari with all these files

    3) click on the folder named career and then go directly to Finance. (the record finance should open with a single click)

    (4) or try to open the folder of health directly after clicking on career record. The health record is expected to open in one click. This does not currently happen

    Currently, 2 click are required to open a folder in the Favorites bar. To activate the button and the second displays the Web sites it contains.

    It is annoying and seems as if the browser is obsolete.

    If opening cursor hover is not what apple wants for these records, we are fine with it. But the least we should do, it's that these files opens in one click.

    Thank you.

    Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.

  • BlackBerry smartphone browser does not open and the screen is frozen

    I got my flashlight for about a week and it is very buggy. First of all it sometimes hangs when I try to open the browser. Other programs work perfectly once I hit escape a few times, but the browser does not work again until I upgrade or downgrade the OS. I keep having to go down and upgrade that takes forever to get my browser to work. Also the phone goes into sleep mode, even though I have it set to 20 seconds for backlight turns off.  Third problem I have with the phone is they continue to tell the browser how advanced is that it will not always support the Flash even if Blackberry has partnered with Adobe. I regret buying a torch instead of a droid.

    Start by doing a battery pull - with the machine on, remove the battery and wait 15 to 30 seconds before reinserting.  Then just wait for the device to reboot.  This should solve at least some of the problems you encounter.

    As for Flash, it is supposed to happen, however it is simply not yet available.  I hope that Adobe will have this ready to go shortly.  As for Flash on the Droid, as a heads up, I heard not so positive things here.  Apparently, there are a lot of bugs, and it is far from an ideal configuration.  I hope that Adobe will fix Flash for Android and I hope we'll get a decent work for the BB version before long.

    I hope that info helps!

  • Is not scrolling screen when the virtual keyboard is opened by clicking an edit field

    Hello

    I have searched and tried many things, but not got success.

    There are three managers of verticalfield in my screen.

    imgBG.getWidth (), imgBG.getHeight (), imgBG, 0, 0);

    }

    Super.paint (grphcs);

    }

    maxWidth = UIConstants.

    SCREEN_WIDTH;

    maxHeight = UIConstants.

    SCREEN_HEIGHT;

    Super.sublayout (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    Super.setExtent (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    }

    };

    2.)

    vfmFieldNS

    = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH |) Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL) {}

    protected voidpaint (Graphics grphcs) {}

    if (imgBGCoverInternetHome! = null) {

    grphcs.drawBitmap ((UIConstants.

    }

    Super.paint (grphcs);

    }

    protected void sublayout (int maxWidth, maxHeight int) {}

    maxWidth = UIConstants.

    SCREEN_WIDTH;

    maxHeight =

    imgBGCoverInternetHome.getHeight () / *-UIConstants.SCREEN_HEIGHT (UIConstants.LABEL_HEIGHT + UIConstants.FOOTER_MENU_HEIGHT) * /;

    Super.sublayout (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    Super.setExtent (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    }

    };

    3)

    vfmScroll

    = new VerticalFieldManager(USE_ALL_WIDTH |) USE_ALL_HEIGHT | VERTICAL_SCROLL) {}

    protected void sublayout (int maxWidth, maxHeight int) {}

    maxWidth = UIConstants.

    SCREEN_WIDTH;

    maxHeight =

    imgBGCoverInternetHome.getHeight () - imgButtonFocusBig.getHeight (/2/*UIConstants.SCREEN_HEIGHT - (UIConstants.LABEL_HEIGHT + (UIConstants.FOOTER_MENU_HEIGHT + VERTICAL_GAP))) * /;

    Super.sublayout (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    Super.setExtent (maxWidth, maxHeight);

    }

    };

    I'm addidng all fields in the Manager of scrolling that is vfmScroll.

    By clicking on the edit field, virtual keyboard opens on the screen, change the field leathers and screen does not scroll.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply of Peter. Instead of UIConstants.SCREEN_HEIGHT, now I use Display.getHeight () - headerHeight-footerHeight. Given that Display.getHeight () is calculated accordingly when the virtual keyboard is open, so his works well for me.

  • When the browser window content Cup (was too small for the page) scroll bar will not scroll content cropped.

    Hey everybody,

    I have a new problem with Muse. It's my first Muse site, all my previous web work was HTML CSS, but I'm trying to learn the programs. However, I have a weird problem with my page... When the browser is too small - aka the window displaying the site is cropping some content, the scroll bar appears, but it won't scroll... I don't understand why. It seems to be the case in all browsers. Similarly, on some computers my footer is missing or invisible, not sure why, but on my computer I don't have the problem in all browsers (firefox, chrome, safari). Any advice?

    www.DanielleFeliciano.com

    In addition, in site properties that I have the minimum height, the value to show the entire page, don't know what is happening. I also noticed, the scroll bar appears when the page is cut off, it will not simply scroll...

    Looks like you have your content made the fallen on the homepage... or on a layer that is pinned. Probably the header layer.
