I would like Firefox to show a splash screen immediately, whenever I start it or click on a link while it is not running.

Firefox loads fairly slowly, in my opinion. It's worth the wait, but I'd like to at least know that it's loading, so I don't have to sit there wondering if I should click the link again. I tried the Splash add-on a few versions back, but found that the splash screen did not appear until near the end of the loading process, which is nearly useless. What is needed is something that pops up immediately after I click a link or a shortcut. Is there any way to configure this?

Firefox should open in a few second. If it takes tens of seconds or even minutes then you may have a problem with an extension or another profile issue or security software that is monitoring Firefox too strictly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

    When I do a Spotlight search I would like it to show which folder a file is in

    Thanks for the response.  When I do a search on my PC the folders are all shown.  That is very helpful because I can sort by folder.  Is there no way to do this with my Macbook?

    Hi, I have answered no to the question about saving password for one spesific site. I have changed my mind and would like Firefox to save the password. How do I reactivate the password saver for one spesific site?

    Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

  • The box that asks if i would like firefox to remember this password doesn't pop up, how do i enable it?

    I need to know how to enable the box that asks if i would like firefox to remember this password.

    Normally when you install Firefox this feature is turned on by default. You can check the status in the Options dialog:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security tab
    In the second section, there's a checkbox for "Remember passwords for sites". These articles have more information:
    * [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
    * [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
    Now... some sites add code to the fields on their forms to block autocompletion (which also blocks saving logins), so you may find some sites where Firefox will not offer to save the password for this reason. There may be workarounds, as have been discussed many times for Yahoo! mail, for example, but since these are lengthy to describe, please post back if the problem is site-specific and if possible provide a link to the login form.

  • I would like to have a video splash page on my website along with a video uploader.

    I would like to have a video splash page on my website along with a video uploader. Can this be done in BC? I don't even see video uploader templates for sale? Help anyone.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Muse Side" Or BC.
    People who have only Muse experience with the web, sorry its hard to follow what you mean sometimes so bare with people like me.
    BC - This is the CMS (Content management system) and hosting platform to develop websites on. Muse is a very basic graphical based interface to build websites. This is NOT the only thing you use to build websites on and use with BC. I use Coda2 for example (We design and then code sites ourselves to offer rich, feature and web standard, well optimised etc websites).
    Because embeded videos are html, flash etc depending on what you choose then you can.
    Auto play is a bad idea, its a bad user experience. Why? Say you just had a gaming session or listed to music, you now have that stopped and your now browsing the web. All of a sudden you load a site that starts playing sound in your ears - This is a big shock and its a very well known pet hate of web users. It puts them off your site instantly.
    In saying that you can have a video autoplay from youtube if you just enable the option when you embed it, so does vimeo. That is at the basic levelt.
    If you want to have a modal pop up on your home page you will need to code it to do so when you load the home page using javascript. In that you can have the video and set that to autoplay. The one thing you will need to do is also code cookie support in javascript as well. You will want to do this when the user closes the browser because as soon as they do so they do not want to see it again if they reload or go back to the home page. Your cookie will be checked every time the homepage loads and if it is there - dont play the video, if it is not then play the video popup.

  • I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

    It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
      I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
      Does this answer your question?

    Running Lightroom 6 on Windows machine (after having upgraded from LR5... While attempting to add or change music in the Slideshow module, LR unexpectedly quits.  After several attempts at this, LR6 won't even launch properly...shows the splash screen but that's it.  The program is buggy...need an update/revision quickly!!

    If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic.  With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

  • HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
    Everymac.com says:
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2*)
    Details:
    *This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
    Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
    When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
    To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

  • OSX: I would like DW opens on the 2nd screen

    I use DW CS5 on a MacBook Pro with a 2nd monitor connected.
    I would like DW opens on the 2nd screen (because it's much bigger) and so used the MacBook screen for my browser tests.
    But I can not find the way to move DW to 2nd screen.
    Am I really stupid or not ?

    Not really.  You are thinking like Einstein was thinking when he wanted  his kitten to go in the small hole he drilled specifically while the kitten's mum had her own big hole.  To his surprise both went through the same big hole and he said what a waste of time drilling the small hole!!!!
    You haven't said how you have connected the two monitors.  Are you using some switches like KVM switches that can do the job most efficiently? <http://www.kvms.com/Product/GCS78.aspx>
    There must be some cheap ones in your area so just shop around.
    Alternatively, Just connect one monitor (big one) to your machine which you work on and to view your pages you will need to upload the files somewhere so that your other machine can connect to them using the browser like any other websites.  You need two machines to do this, of course!

  • Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login

    Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
    OS - WinXP Sp3
    Things I tried.
    1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
    2) Disabled welcome screen
    3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
    4) Reinstalled
    5) Formated PC
    But issue persists, please help.

    Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

    I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

    Sure it's possible.
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
    Choose "Display".  There's a slider bar for the screen brightness.  Adjust it and you're all set.

  • My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??

    1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
    2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
    3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
