Two BIG problems: Firefox clears the tabs and will not save preferences
Long story:
I'm on a 2009 15 "Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.6.8. A few weeks ago I started suddenly problems with some features in Gmail... but only in Firefox. Specifically, I was no longer able to preview attachments in the new Gmail attachment viewer. After a long back-and-forth on the Gmail forum with no results, I turned to Firefox. After having poking around in Firefox Help, I decided to reset Firefox. This solved the problem with Gmail, but in turn created two new more serious problems with Firefox: (1) I can't save my history settings in the privacy of the preferences tab (I want to use the custom settings; whenever I have this option in the menu drop down and close prefs., as soon as I open Pref once again, the history of setting is default return "remember history"; (2) even more serious and obviously related: whenever I quit Firefox, all my tabs and groups of tabs went to the re-opening. I can restore the previous session, but this obviously isn't the solution.
I basically tried everything suggested in the articles referred to in the help of Firefox, reset Firefox again, trashing the prefs.js file in my profile folder (I have no other pref files - that is to say without "prefs - n.js or 'prefs.js.moztmp' or 'Invalidprefs.js'... I don't see not a user.js file in my profile folder either). I even used the disk utility to repair permissions on my Mac HD... for all that is worth it.
I'm so sick of everything that I am seriously considering ditching Firefox altogether. There, can someone help me understand what is happening?

Choose "Use the custom settings for history" allows you to see current history and cookies settings, but select this is not make changes to the parameters of the history and cookies.
Firefox displays "Use the custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one story and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.
If all the parameters of the history and cookies are by default, the custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

JimDo not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

Try to connect to my computer as the administrator, but after I put my login in it goes to check on the page and will not let me connect. The regular connection for the computer works fine. Any ideas?
Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

It is the instance of Vista installation.

CD/DVD does not recognize the disks and will not be closed
original title: problem with tray D
I use a unit of reconditiioned Dell 8300 with XP Professional system. The unit was slow and gel a bit so, in one of the slow itls break cycles I insereted in the toolbar an old XP disc I had to front to see if that would help and after I closed the tray I noise loud crash and the tray came out showing broked pieces of the disc. I flipped the unit and hit the bottom and more pieces of the disc came out. Now the set is not closed. If I insert a workable disc and maintain status bar tap it will not do anything and a window tells me to insert a disc. Shou ld I try to disassemble the unti to see if there's still some piece or pieces preventing reset the tray? Or is it to say that I'm going to my repairman authorized Microsoft for the rerpair? E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
I'm really sorry to laugh, but this is a funniest post I've ever seen. Apparently you've damaged the device rom (cd/dvd drive) replace it with a new one. They measure less $ $30 .00usd. Furthermore, placing the old drive in the drive xp will not improve the performance of the computer. Looks like you have some malware. I recommend that you post in the section virus/malware of the forum on the link below for a complete analysis. The forum is free. While I could recommend some scanners, I think you need a full inspection.

Classic classic BlackBerry frozen during the update and will not turn on or off
So I was in a wifi zone in a fast food place, and my screen said that I had to update software and because I would be there for some time, I allowed him. He said to date started and then told me that I had to be plugged in for the update, but I didn't have my charger. I don't remember if it continued on its own or if I hit just OK but now it is frozen on the ATT screen and will not shut off/on/restart. If I press and hold the off button, it counts down as if she died but do nothing and I can't use the touch screen to cancel or restart.
I am very frustrated because I've had problems with this phone since I got less than 2 months ago.
In addition, he is now connected and still will not do anything else.

print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase
I have a HP 4620. I sent a print job to the computer via the network. It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job. It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days). I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete. I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove. So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted. Can I remove the new print jobs. Someone at - it solution.
Hello
From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R. In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter. Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button. Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.
Kind regards

Note: After resetting Internet explorer you will need to install Java runtime library and Adobe flash again.

Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.
