When I open Firefox, in addition to my original place, I have another tab that opens the same site without my asking for it. How can I get rid of this nuisance?
The offending site is loaded in a second tab as well as my home page when I open Firefox. How can I stop this loading site automatically?
Hi lennynyr,
Out of curiosity, what is the additional site? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.
There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.
If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.
Hope this helps!

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

When I connect my Ipad or Iphone to my computer via a USB cable, I can open the storage folder without using a password. How can I avoid someone else do the same?
This storage folder are you referring? If you are referring to the film, what happens because you have accepted a trust between the iOS device and the computer. If the device has been connected to another computer, it must be unlocked and establish a relationship of trust as well. If you are referring to something different, please explain.
