• Why am I getting the message «It seems that you did not start Firefox for a while...» "When I use it all the time?

  It may have been a recent update, but it says that I have not used Firefox for a little while when I used it this morning. What is only a function of the update? I expect that if Firefox knew how long since I used it, it would not give this message.

  Ignore this message!

  From what I've observed, a Firefox update will cause Firefox 'watching' the time of the profile file stanps and perhaps trigger this alert. I do not know exactly what or how many parameters involved in Firefox "decide" display this alert message, but as long as you are not having problems with Firefox do not respond to it.

• Using Vista for 4 years now, it is required for activation, no change of material or put in the form

  I've been using Vista Business (pre installed by Dell) since the purchase of my laptop 4 years with no problems. After turned on last night he told me to validate my copy of Windows. I tried to do it but he told me that my copy is not activated, I confirmed this on my system details it says it needs activation.
  I tried the phone activation system and talked to 2 different people, they both gave me the same code to enter that twice told me that it does not match the product id. They do not seem to know what to do next and said that I should pay £46 + VAT for it to be resolved.
  I have not formatted my disk or installed new hardware that they kept insisting that I had done. The only updates other than Windows updates are on my free copy of AVG. Windows is up to date. As I said it worked fine until last night.
  Can anyone help please? I'm not too confident trying to complex tasks, so be gentle!

• I use Hotmail for my corporate email account, and after an automatic upgrade I can not send emails. Help!

  When I try to send an email, it allows me to enter the name of the recipient and the subject, but I'm unable to enter something into the body.

• Try to disconnect from the iCloud on my Macbook Air (El Capitan 10.11.2) but in system preferences, it says I have to create a new password for my Admin account - and then the new password I get says "password does not match"?

  I am trying to add my outlook email account to the Mail app, but because it's the same email for my iCloud, for some reason, they are linked, and I discovered that I need to disconnect from iCloud, and then add the outlook account.

  But when I try to disconnect from the iCloud in system preferences > accounts on the internet, it says I have to create a separate password - but when I get one it says "passwords do not match"? I tried to do different and same, nothings working: S

  The dialog box is like this:

  [Stop using iCloud?]

  Create separate password for (name of the admin account)

  -You will no longer be able to log in or unlock your screen with your icloud password, and you will need to remember two passwords separately.

  iCloud password: __________

  New password: __________

  Check: _

  Index of password: __________

  [Use the separate password?]

  Not sure why that is, that the password does not when it's supposed to be the new s password?

  Also, I would like to know what to put in the box check?

  Help much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Oh wow. I just realized I was leaving the case confirm the void and the message "password does not match" mentioned. I just need to retype my password. Hilarious that I have not worked this one earlier.
