    • I didn't want tabs at all, just windows. I have vs 39.0

      I want my firefox works as before. I don't want the tabs. The way it works now, is of all Web pages seem to go into an icon at the bottom. If I try to minimize a window, it does not return to the previous window, it goes to my desktop. VERY FRUSTRATING. I want to see all the Windows I have open, distributed along my bar tasks. If there is no solution for this, I'll Safari as I saw suggested elsewhere. Or another solution would be to go to an older version of Firefox that always worked normally.
      Thank you

      As test, could you open two new windows, a regular (Ctrl + n) one private (Ctrl + Shift + p) and describe how the taskbar display changes? Do you get the additional graphics next to the Firefox button simulating a "stack" of buttons? That's what I think that you normally get.

      If the problem is that you want different buttons rather than a stack, the Windows taskbar has a setting for it. Right-click the taskbar, click Properties, and then change buttons setting to never combine. (Screen attached)

      Firefox can also show each tab in the taskbar, but if you try to avoid using tabs, which is probably not relevant. For future reference, it's the setting here:

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

      Downstairs, 'Show previews tab in the Windows task bar.

      Hi Alain,

      You have an installed third-party antivirus program? If so, does include any firewall integrated with it?

      If you have changed some Windows Firewall settings and you want to cancel your changes, you can restore the firewall settings to the original (default) settings.

      You can restore the default settings of the firewall and will remove all the rules, if you have defined.

    • I need to disable all skills specific to HP function keys

      I have a HP Pavilion G7 - 2551dx with Windows 8.

      I want to disable all the functions specific to the HP keyboard function key. -F1 to F12 functions.  I don't need or want Ttout of them and in fact, they are just shortcuts to make things I already do through other means. His airplane mode, brightness, etc - I don't want one of these functions mapped to my function keys.

      How do I with this model?

      I have a 3 year Compaq, and it was an application that gave the PC these functions. I could disable all these features to uninstall this application.  I can't find such an application on this computer Pavilion G7. Rather, these functions are software controlled, they are activated in another way. The specific features of the HP gets in my way, because I accidentialy press these keys by mistake. They get in the way of games and other applications that map with the function keys. I have to be able to completely disable these functions as I have in the past with my Compaq.

      How can I do this?

      The link above says this:

      "On most of HP and Compaq computers laptops, it is necessary press the function (fn) key while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the features by default; as for example increase or decrease the brightness of the screen, the sound volume, sleep, keyboard lock, etc... On computers laptops HP Envy and other laptops with Advanced BIOS, the function keys options can be configured so that it is not necessary to press and hold down the fn key. »

      It worked for my problem BUT I almost didn't try because it is very misleading and very badly written.

      You see, it has never been necessary for me to hold and press the Fn button to use the default function keys (so why would I need to use the option above as written - I wouldn't). This makes you only believe that it turns on or off the ability to use the function keys to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 to 12 function keys - and not the function keys do not work. That would have helped me.

      In reality, what it does, is change the function of these keys depending on whether you use the Fn key at the same time with the 1 through 12 keys or not. It acts as a switch allowing only the multimedia type function keys work if you press the Fn key first. I had to tell him to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 through 12 keys. In this mode when the keys functioned are affected without using the Fn key, they act like normal multimedia type function keys, no.

      (These types of key functions multimedia were introduced for multimedia keyboards a few years ago. They added extra functionality that I needed off. They were never the standard functions for the function keys on the keyboards. Recently, desktop computers and laptos started to add these functions to the keyboard by default.)

      It's a good thing I played a bit with it to know because that is never written these things must be fired and replaced by someone who can explain all the s and outs of a much better task. It's very badly written garbage. It omits important information people need to know what actually makes the function under a permit and mobility.

      Thank you.

    • Disable all addons on particular websites

      This may seem like a stupid question but is it possible to disable all addons on a site-by-site basis? I am aware that some addons have parameters that allow you to add fields that will be ignored by the addon, but if I wanted to disable all addons for a particular site, is the Safe Mode or manually disable the only way to achieve this?

      My first answer failed to address extensions. Firefox is not all built-in controls to prevent extensions run on specific sites.

    • Disabled all incoming in the Windows Firewall, internet connections still work

      I have disabled all inbound connections in windows firewall, but not noticed any problem with my internet connection. Weird how? For example, I let Internet Explore establish outbound connections, but do not allow for it or any other service/program to receive incoming connections. But Internet Explorer still gets responses from the servers on the internet when the requesting State pages and I also get a response from the DNS server of my ISP when IE tries to resolve ips domains. Weird. I misunderstood the meaning of incoming connections or there is a huge security hole in windows firewall.

      Hi Semjon,

      This setting blocks all unsolicited attempts to connect to your computer. Use this setting when you need maximum protection for your computer, for example when you connect to a public network in a hotel or airport, or when a computer worm spreads on the Internet. With this setting, you are not notified when Windows Firewall blocks programs, and programs on the Exceptions list are ignored.

      When you select block all incoming connections, you can still view most Web pages, send and receive electronic mail and send and receive instant messages.

    • How can I disable the firewall of windows for FPGA

      I tried to compile an FPGA vi. Towards the end of compilation, asked me if I wanted to disable something in the windows firewall (probably to allow for communication between my computer and my PXI-7854R). At the time, I had no administrative privilege and couldn't do anything but cancel this request. Of course, nothing that I compiles now runs. How to get back to the point where I can disable the firewall?

    • Firewall Windows disable the Internet Explorer loads Up after slow start after the installation of Windows updates

      Hello, (this the mystery of on and Off and back on Windows Firewall with slow loading of programs like Internet Explorer as this all is pass it on firewall, disable the firewall, the firewall, it occurs only during starts, after he fine / but very annoying on reboots whom he accuses of my computer down) / listed below is the cause of it , and when she first started, you have a solution?

      I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

      After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

      After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

      (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

      2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

      (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

      This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

      That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

      Please answer questions following diagnosis by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

      1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

      2 a Norton or McAfee application already installed on the computer?

      3. do you have a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

      4. you are using IE6, IE7 or IE8?

      5. have you ALREADY had the opportunity to do a Repair Installation of Windows XP for some reason any?

    • I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black

      I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black, the upper band has Taylor Swift and a few small icons to the bottom of the page. If I type Perry Como, in the search box, the page does not change.

      lysdexic01, I know almost exactly what you describe on my screen of iTunes Store recently updated for Windows 7 64-bit. Only difference is that the icons in the black box are invisible until I move the mouse above them, their location by trial and error. Once activated, the icon remains visible. Each found icon flickers at first, but stops flashing if I pass the mouse over it.

      I think that the store is now functional and useless for those of us experiencing this problem. Other users have reported that their iTunes store screen flickers since they updated iTunes to the latest version, but most did not mention the area big black screen that you and I see.

      So far, Apple seems not to believe that there is a problem with the software to update iTunes. It is therefore important that users continue to report these problems to Apple that there are enough complaints for attention even during a week of office party.
