my firefox is automatically set to zero by default how can I stop this?
my firefox is auto reset default setting every day which is the cause and how can I stop it? I ran virus, malware, adware scanners and found nothing wrong there whenever I find that I have to reset my security and privacy option as well
What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that can cause problems to protect and restore files in the Firefox profile folder.

I used him copy / paste to add several checkboxes on my form, but now in preview mode when I check the first box it automatically checks all the boxes. How can I stop this from happening?
For later use, it happened because your fields have the same field name, and fields with the same name automatically have the same value.
So all you had to do was so each had a unique name and it would have worked, but using the command create several fields is preferable because it renames the fields for rename you them.

When I delete the files they go in the trash and will stay there until I log out and switch on the computer.
When I turn it back on and open a session in the basket is still empty.
I can't find any settings to change that.
Can someone advise?Hi Jack,
Windows Vista does not clear the trash automatically on closing of session/reboots. This must be due to a third-party program (CCleaner / Zone Alarm clear function Cache) you have installed. You may need to consider starting applications and find which of them is the compensation the basket every time.

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.

Hello
I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
Thank you
GunterYour best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows. Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used. She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.
Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).
This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you. For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:
Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.
Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing. You can then decide if you want to remove one of them. You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.

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 open the file Downlad box in Firefox (v28) and asks me to select a file to download... as I click to scroll down the download file box things work well... then all of a sudden things scroll down (fast) at the bottom of the download file by itself.
How can I stop this from happening?
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.

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.
