• When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

  When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

  I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

  Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

  Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

• When I write text writing is highlighted a light pink color and it won't let me turn off highlight it. How can I change this?

  Hey there,

  So it's very definitely a stupid question, but I recently lost my Adobe Illustraor software as my mac has been cleaned. I now use a 30 day trial and need to make changes to a presentation of work. I'm having no trouble opening the document HERE, but much of the written text is highlighted with a pink clear color however there no option to turn off highlighting. All the text is highlighted. Is there anyway I can change this? Is the text you highlighted because it is a free trial version? Can someone help?

  Desperate times,

  Christian

  Christian,

  You see the result of the preferences > Type > highlight substituted fonts

  You must have at least a missing font, so there's something to address.

• When I run firefox I wonder constantly if I registert with "firefound. How can I stop this?

  There is no further details.

  Hi peregill,

  What is a pop-up or is it your homepage?

  If it's something from the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle. There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

  If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

  If this isn't your homepage has changed, I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

  You can also try to create a new profile.

  Finally, your problem may be because you have been hit by some malware.

  Hope this helps!

  Since I did a Firefox update about 6 weeks ago, that the foregoing happens and it's more annoying, I uninstall Firefox and Outlook, but it has not solved the problem. Boxes are labeled file download, are about 6.6 KB in size and are different each time. I tried to paste a screenshot here, but this box does not have a dough

  I don't know if you figured this out, but what I did to solve this problem went to the file-> options. Click on add ins, then you click on manage add-ins and add disabled Microsoft Outlook Social Connector in.

  Thank you

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

• Everything in the firefox browser flashes whenever I scroll, or if all goes on the webpage (videos flash for example, .gif). How can I stop this?

  Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.

  Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.

  Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.

  As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.

  Hi Tansy,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

  Method 1
  Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

  Note: Follow step 3 of section of boot KB929135 to reset the computer in normal mode.

  Method 2
  I suggest you run virus scan online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

• Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

  Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

  Hi John -.

  It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!

  Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.

  Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.

• When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do.  .  How can I stop this?

  When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do.  I then shut down the film before I was presented with the opportunity to create a new project.  How can I stop this waste of time boring?  I use the old iMovie HD 6.0.4 because I find that it is superior to the new versions.  IMac 27 "2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

  This has always been a 'feature' of iMovie 6!

  The only solution I know is to move the project current iMovie to another folder, which is in documents, for example, where iMovie can't see it.
