How do I start firefox from the terminal, using a specific proxy configuration, without creating a whole new profile?

When I use Firefox at work I must use a proxy, however when at home I want to connect with no proxy. I'd like to have two launchers for Firefox, one for work and one for home. To do this I need to configure Firefox from the terminal.
After searching on the internet the only solution I could find was to launch Firefox with two different profiles, one for work using the proxy, and another for home. However if I do this, my bookmarks and saved passwords will not the same for both profiles.

Right click on the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'. There enter the details so start the program directly not via a script. This did the trick for me for another program.

If it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. Restore the phone using iTunes, then restore it from your last backup. If you've been backing up on a regular basis as intended, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.

How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

Hi,
We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
ISBN_Author_01.PDF (with real page number as i)
ISBN_Author_02.PDF (with real page number as ii)
ISBN_Author_03.PDF (with real page number as iii)
ISBN_Author_04.PDF (with real page number as 1)
ISBN_Author_05.PDF (with real page number as 2)
ISBN_Author_06.PDF (with real page number as 3)
ISBN_Author_nn.PDF (with real page number as 500)
Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
Thanks,
Gopal

The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
pageNum numPages
The number printed on each page is the page label.
setPageLabels getPageLabel
You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe Flashplayer?

Dear Adobe Customer Support, I want to download a video from the internet but I don't know how to do so. Please help me.

Adobe Flash player enables you to view Videos but not download them to the local drive. You need to use other non-adobe softwares for that.
If you are facing issues watching the videos due to flash player not installed then you have to tell me the OS and browser you are using.
You can also refer to the following KB's :
WIN : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/troubleshoot-games-video-audio-flash.html

How do i start up from the dvd drive on an imac

Just got a 27 imac os x 10.6. tried to migrate from my macbook pro os 10.5.8. migration by ethernet with the 2 connected to each other only. Migration failed after over an hour. so i clicked cancel migration waited another hour nothing happened so i shut the imac down manually. On restart it took over 20 minutes to reboot and i was able to log in. now i dont trust the applications files etc that migrated so I want to remove everything and do a "clean install" so that im not starting out with a corrupted brand new mac. any suggestions ?

Insert the DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility in the Utilities menu to erase the drive, and install the OS.

How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

Some videos will allow downloading.
I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad
Dylan

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

How can I disable addons from running on certain tabs, windows, or websites, without having to create a whole new profile?

Not every potentially site-breaking addon has a site whitelist or enable/disable list. While some addons exsit for "sandboxing" tabs - it only sandboxes the pages loaded on that tab, not what the browser/addons do to them. I've already searched for solutions, and frankly, I'm surprised that this question hasn't been asked before until now: Why can't multiple "profiles" be run side-by-side, on a per-tab and/or specific-website(s) basis, in the same browser window?

Basically any addon that affects ssl settings. Not all of the extra "hardening" to ssl that addon does results in a certificate error or warning when I try to load a page. Some of them cause redirect errors or even just a blank screen with nothing loaded at all. Even if I "whitelist" a page in an addon's settings, that page could still not load because the addon has changed the browser's settings itself...

How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

Hello.
My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype. If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory. On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running. If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.
Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
Any ideas?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
nedson :?:

Thats what I thought...
What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory. Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) . After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux). How can I call it out of memory? I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login. I just simply want to call it from the background...
Any ideas?
