What can I do to restore the function of the button close browser?
After using firefox for a number of weeks without problem, today the browser close button does not work! (white cross on red background) The only way to close the browser is by using the Task Manager end task. It is a simple problem but what can I do about it? I tried to update but do not reinstall. I have no further details that I fear, the button does not. I don't think it's a problem with my computer cos for example 'word' closed as expected. Even the Internet Ezplorer. More than that, I have no clue why this is happening.
Is to close the window button, do not close the browser, and with Firefox, it makes a difference because of the subtasks.
The following can completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox via the Windows Task Manager, but it will come very close.
Plug-in and open by Firefox tasks can continue after trying
close Firefox closes the 'X' in the upper right of the
Window (same as Ctrl + Shift + W), but even if it's the last window of Firefox,
It does not necessarily close Firefox.
The only good way to leave Firefox is to use the output by the
File menu, not the 'X' in the top right of the last window of Firefox.
In version 4.0 and upwards with the button "Firefox" which would be Alt + F then X

Use the Windows Task Manager to remove all the firefox.exe running in the 'process' of the Windows Task Manager tab, then restart Firefox.
very rare- If Firefox still does not start, remove the file parent.lock profile that is created each time you start Firefox to prevent the execution of the other tasks of Firefox, see

How to restore the button 'Close tab' at the END of the tab bar?
Until FF31, I used the following configured setting that installs the small 'X' button which tabs off the tabs themselves and on the far right of the bar closed tabs.
browser.tabs.closeButtons; The user's game; Integer; 3
No, this no longer works. It is always placed close buttons in the buttons on the tab. Until I can understand how to solve this problem, I'll be move back to a previous version. I can't for the life of see me why this feature has been removed, other than the apparently arrogant insistence of Mozilla that he knows what the people want better than them.

Oberon Games version 6.0.6002.18005 were initially installed on my HP Pavilion dv6000. For some unknown reason, the color left the games, the widow fills only about 2/3 of the screen, and the placement of the cursor is shifted to the right of where you want to choose a card.
Other than that, everything else works fine, color and all.
How can I find the factory setting for my games?
Hello
This could be a problem with the graphics card, you can try to update the graphics card and check if that helps.

What can be done to improve the performance of the Satellite P300-150
Hello
I have laptop Satellite P300-150.
It seems powerful enough but struggles with some of the latest games.
It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.And I wouldn't be able to play on the move...
What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?
Thank you
MaxHello
You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.
Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)
See you soon
