I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?
It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard. -
I have been using yahoo mails from iPad for several months. Today I am unable to access my mails even though I logged in to yahoo....the signin screen is keep coming when I tried to access mail.....is it due to iPad or yahoo?
It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

when i want to download firefox, it gets downloaded from a different site everytime. Is this legit?
For example: a box from Norton Antivirus will pop up to ask me if I want to download firefox from ______ . The line will be filled with a different site everytime (this is one site: saimei.acc.umu.se). Can I trust this?Yes as there is not one server but several mirrors around the help load balance the releases.mozilla.org

Many of the mirrors are Universities and also help host for other open source stuff like various Linux distros.
The one you link to is a University in Sweden. -
Is there a way to have firefox save web pages from a batch list of urls
Is there a plugin for firefox to load urls from a list and save the pages including images to file
I'm not aware of such an add-on, but it might exist. There also might be a Greasemonkey userscript that will load the pages and fire the save.
This thread discusses way to save pages once you have them loaded: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923234 How to save a website using firefox. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. -
printer advances page and spits it out with either nothing or a single garbled line printed on it instead of a whole web page. This is independent of which web site and even happens with web sites that have a specific PRINT or PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION button. Printing is fine from Internet Explorer. Unsure about Chrome. Printing from Firefox worked fine until I downloaded newest version. Operating system is Windows Vista on a 64 bit desktop computer.
Try the '''reset''' described here: <br />

How could I use FAVOURITES imported from Internet Explorer
I use Google Chrome. However I get adverts, which obstruct my work. As I cannot get rid of these adverts, I want to try Mozilla Firefox. I have imported favorites from Internet Explorer but I do not know how to use them. I do not see any button or icon for this purpose. I should be grateful for your help.
FB321Web page have ads, and there are add-ons to suppress some of those if you find them troublesome.
Bad add-ons can inject additional ads into pages. Sometimes some "freeware" you install can include these ad injectors which then infect all of your browsers. If you suspect anything along those lines, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it sounds:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
Changed to MF about five years ago.
It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.There are three basic options
#You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.<br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
#Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. <br /> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
#You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) <br />See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

My Internet Explorer continually crashes/freezes & I want to change to Firefox.
Will my favourites/bookmarks be saved automatically?Firefox uses its own bookmarks that are kept separately from the IE Favorites in an SQLite database file called places.sqlite.
Firefox will offer to import the IE Favorites on the first start, so those will be available, but you may need to move them to the bookmarks toolbar for easier access.

I use a program called Digital Persona Personal. It stopped working when Firefox updated from 3 to 4. I have tried everything to get it to work. I went to the website of Digital Persona and asked for help but they said that there is no fix for this and they no longer work with clientele like us only business's now. I really need to use this program as I have a very bad memory problem and don't remember usernames and passwords very well. That is why I have a computer with a fingerprint reader. So, you see I really need your help in going back to Firefox 3.
You're welcome

OS-Win 7 Home Edition
When I close Firefox 29 (just installed) the firefox.exe *32 process remains active and I must close it from task manager.
Otherwise when I try to run it again I get the message:
"Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close ...."
No such problem with previous version 28
Regards
RiccardoFor those that have the problem after the update or after changing the ''seer'' preference please set Firefox to NOT delete history at closedown
# Use new Button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] -> Preferences -> <br />|Privacy|Firefox will : [Remember History v]
# Does that help and allow you to restart ok ?
* Note
*# You should be able to open and use Private Browsing Windows ok still. You may need to close those windows before closing down Firefox though. <br />See [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
*# This hang or close down issue is a known bug in Firefox 29 that has yet to be fixed. With luck it may be fixed in the next Firefox version. <br /> Note the known issues mentioned in <br /> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0.1/releasenotes/ -
I don't want to have to use a PW to log onto the company web/Intranet
Firefox Change the look of my global calendar #1 and #2. I shouldn't have to have a password to log onto our intranet/homepage
First, make sure you are not in "full screen" mode. The F11 function key switches between full screen and normal modes.
Next, you can enable/disable different toolbars using the classic View menu. If you are using the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus), tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to display the classic menu bar.
If you are already showing the "Navigation Toolbar" but the address box part is missing, you can reset your toolbars back to their defaults. Here's how:
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any luck? -
Recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop in a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP. (Ubuntu is awesome !)
I can run Firefox on either OS - each version maintaining its own bookmark file.
Is there any way to have each version of Firefox look in the same place for the bookmark file ? That would remove the need to regularly export/import bookmarks between versions to keep them in sync.
Thanks !
Andrew ChorltonYou can use Firefox Sync.

I have firefox using the Yahoo format. I cannot get "print" to install on the toolbar HELP
I have tried to create a custom app for "PRINT", but I can't get it to appear on the toolbar with my other apps.
No need for a "custom app". Firefox already has a '''"Print"''' button, all you need to do is to move it to the toolbar of your choice.
