until yesterday, whenever I want to download anything, I'd get a 'popup' in the bottom right of my screen saying "full download"... now I don't see... also, when I click on my download option in my 'tools' at the top on the right, the box that appears has changed how it looks...

None of these problems is all 'biggie'... lol... nothing to worry about... but I just want to know why it happened all of a sudden if I've made any changes to my firefox... anyone?
The user interface for changed in 20 of Firefox downloads. There was a parameter, you can change all: config to restore the old style. That setting in Firefox 20-25, but was no longer exists in Firefox 26. So, you probably changed this and now know the standard interface.

The screen of my Hotmail has changed. The box of Firefox at the top left is gone. I don't see anything that I can click out of Hotmail and return to my office.
Hello
You are able to use Hotmail without any problem on Internet Explorer?
You will need to contact Hotmail support team or firefox support team for assistance on this. Usually, you get a disconnection of the option on the upper right of the browser window to sign out of Hotmail.

MBP has changed to new iMac - the problem persists
Hello ladies and gentlemen!
I can't believe I'm still having the same problem after a water landing forced my MBP mid-2012 and invest a lot of money in the new iMac. Now I'm sure this is the problem of the El Capitan, not the hardware. Especially after the last update of the system.
Everything was going fine until last week when my iMac suddenly started to have some kind of hiccups - mouse ceased to answer at any time (100% battery), pages began to load really slow and sometimes only has not at all and Adobe apps began to plant without any particular reason. Nothing has changed and I haven't done anything unusual when it was absolutely new and running like a beast.
The thing that is interesting to me is the use of the CPU and RAM. (It a few months ago when I had the problem with MBP), I noticed that when you open a page in Safari (any type of page) and let it stay there for a few days it starts to use a LOT of material in the background, even if you have completely forgotten this page and did not open it / refresh it for a long time - screenshots below. Why the hell is happening? I do not understand why Safari does need juice both by the love of God because no matter how much it will be, he will use it. I thought that changing from 8GB to 32GB it will solve the problem. Boy, I was wrong...

I wonder about these extensions Safari and internet plug-ins.
Safari, as all browsers, I fear, is a memory hog.
As a temporary solution, simply exit and restart Safari can mitigate the problem.

A week ago, my Firefox home page has changed and I've lost the ability to have Gmail, YouTube, etc. appear at the top left of the home page. I tried to reset by going into settings and set the default value, but still can't figure out how to get Gmail, YouTube, etc. is displayed on the home page.
Thank you

Firefox home page has changed to open yahoo instead of google.
My default home page has changed somehow. The page always shows the Firefox logo with a search bar, but that pressing the button 'Search' opens Yahoo instead of Google.
I tried the add on "Reset" but he lost too much of my settings and add ons. I had to restore my original Firefox.Okay, I think I found it. I have disabled all of my extensions, deleted the file prefs.js again and then activated the extensions one by one. When I got one called Pdforge toolbar (or something like that), I've read about it and don't know why I never installed. I didn't even try to enable it, I just removed it. But I reinabled all others and the homepage is to stay with Google.
Whoopee!

downloads window appearance has changed - how do I restore?
Download window works OK when in full screen but when in a minimized window, the appearance has changed, so it is impossible to read what is there. How can I restore it to original settings?
You have any addons/extensions that can style it somehow? Go in Addons > Extensions (and appearance), and watch well everything that can change the window display mode. Change the options accordingly.

Since my last update, that is the only thing changed on my computer since it began, my lan port is always on at the start of Vista (Ultimate). I'm on a laptop that has a LAN on board. I have not had this problem NEVER before and have owned the laptop for about two years now. The only thing that has changed on the computer's windows updates.
I spent the length of a deactivation of the adapter before you turn off the laptop and tried to load a page that is not in the temporary memory, and get the usual page cannot be displayed. I scanned for virus using AVG and Bell Internet Security scanner online McAfee. I also ran Windows MSRT and found nothing unusual. I also checked to see if the BIOS has been changed somehow, and nothing has changed. Boot to LAN is disabled. So I can only conclude that I have a virus has not been detected (but have no slowdowns or anything different in the security under gpedit.msc logs), or the more recent Windows Update changed some settings.
But weak and this is every time I start up the computer from the local network is enabled. If I let the cable disconnected at startup, it does not reconnect to the modem cable after rehabilitation and I have to disable and then re-enable the LAN to access the internet.
Please let me know if anyone else has this problem or have heard of this and know a solution.
Thank you.

Method 1
I suggest that you download and install the updated drivers for the network adapter on the computer by visiting the card manufacturer or computer manufacturer website manually.
Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
