Why is the "Firefox Throttle" addon not available anymore and is there a replacement?

I need to be able to dynamically slow down (throttle) the speed with which my firefox downloads content.
There are thousands of google links to an extension that seems to do exactly what I want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5917/
However this is now a dead link.
Why?
Is there a replacement?

I have been in contact with the folks there about a time line for a version
that will work with FireFox ver: 4.x and their response is:
That's ok. I'm really swamped with other stuff at the moment. Best bet is end of April-mid May.
Regards,
Denis
Hope this estimate holds,
Jerry

Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

Sorry to say but they have. And even advertised it on their home page as recently as today. You can view about 70 different channels on your iPhone or iPad. Anyone else out there who knows the answer?

HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
and why is clock not available on ipad????

Because that is a decision the Apple made. You can get the battery percentage (within 5%) by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8. It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8. Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old. In cell phone land, that is ancient........

Why does the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

Recently the Mozilla icon on my desktop changed from reading Mozilla to 1788 (the writing right under blue the Mozilla Firefox symbol) . Is this something Mozilla has done or is there an issue I need to resolve and if so how to I resolve this issue?
Also are there any free virus protection, that work with Mozilla?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this matter.

No, the desktop shortcut hasn't been renamed. First, make sure it's really pointing to Firefox and not something else:
1. Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
 2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
 3. Make sure the Target field says 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
4. If it does, then click the General tab.
 5. In the text box at the top, enter the name you want for the shortcut.
 6. Click the OK button when done.
I take it you're having problems with the avast! Online Security add-on, which is why you have it disabled? Any add-on that scans every link on every page is bound to add a delay to loading time. If you're having more severe issues, you can ask for help on the Avast forum:
* http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0
That add-on isn't required for virus and malware protection. Here are some alternatives to the features it provides:
* WebRep (reputation rating system for visited websites)
** https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
** https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/safe-preview/
** https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/webutation-reputation-security/
* Site Correct (automatic correction of mistyped web URLs)
** https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/url-fixer/
** Or you can just avoid mistyping URLs by loading sites from bookmarks or the location bar search results for previously visited sites.
* Antiphishing (protection from phishing scams)

Why is the google plus app not available in the pakistani app store?

Ive been waiting for the Google+ app for a month and finally when it arrives its not availeble in the Pakistani app store. Why? the rest of the world is happily using it. When it will be available? is there a way to get it from the US app store? can someone gift the app to me.

"Why? "
You would have to ask Google. Probably government restirctions.
"When it will be available? "
You would have to ask Google and/or your government.
" is there a way to get it from the US app store?"
You could physically move to the U.S. apply for and recieve a U.S credit card billed to your new U.S address, then you could use the U.S app store as long as you were inside the birders of the U.S.
"can someone gift the app to me."
No.

Why is the movie Date Night not available in the US store?

Date Night seems to be available in the Austrailia store (http://itunes.apple.com/au/movie/date-night/id370805508), but not the US store.

Please note that content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific because of Digital Rights Management and Copyright laws that depend on the country you are in and the country the content you want is registered under.
If you want content on the AU store, you will need to change your account's address and payment information to one that is valid in the AU store. Otherwise, You will need to wait until the studios give iTunes permission to release the movie.

Why is the droid iprint app not available for my HTC Hero marketplace?

I can see the iprint app from the driod market place website, however when I search the marketplace from my phone it is not found. I cannot download it from the android website as my device is not found (I have already contacted the android tech support to resolve this issue)
I connet to the internet through my droid phone via easy teather, which the printer cannot seem to use through a wireless network connection.
Why the hell, did hp not enable internet acces through a **bleep** usb cable??!!!

Hey cowham!
The iPrint app is no longer on the marketplace but is very soon to be replaced with a much better app. You can find more information about this here. As far as being able to access the internet through a usb connection, as I understand it the printer uses the usb connection's full bandwidth already so it would not be able to print/scan if we gave it the ability to transmit the internet connection.
Hope this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

Why is the "Sign Document" option not available in Reader 9.1?

When I open a PDF in Reader 9.1 the "Sign Document" option is grayed out (unavailable) Is this option dependent on which version of Adobe Acrobat was used to create the PDF? As a test, I created a PDF in Acrobat Standard 8.1. I can sign the that PDF in Acrobat Standard 8.1 but I cannot sign the same PDF in Adobe Reader 9.1.

I have adobe reader 9.1 and want to sign some documents. The sign option isn't available and I don't have Acrobat professional. Does that mean I can't use the free digital signature add-on?
Thanks.

Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
What can I do?

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Why is the pink ipad smartcase not available on itunes store?

I find it on amazon and other pages, but why is it not on the itunes store?

I believe all iPad Smart Cases & colors for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th gen models have been discontinued except for the Polyurethane Dark Grey color. The reason you are likely seeing them on Amazon & other websites is that they still have stock. If you really want that color, you'll have to go through Amazon (or other) or check/call your local Apple Store to see if they may have the item in stock at that particular store.

I just installed Lion to my iMac. Every thing works like before except for iTunes. When I clicked on it, it said the iTunes file could not be found, and that there was a new version of iTunes. I said to install it, but then I get a box saying it is waitin

I just installed Lion and everything works fine except for iTunes. It says it cannot find my iTunes file, then asks if I want the latest version of iTunes. I clck yes, then get a box saying it is waiting for other downloads to complete. That box just sits there as I have no other downloads waiting. How do I get my music back? Actually it is all my wives', and I want to get it back for her. Any help will be appreciated.

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Surcode Plugin not available anymore

After installing a fresh Windows 8.1/64 with my CS6 Production Premium, within Media Encoder, the surcode plugin is not available anymore as before. I can only chose Dolby 2.0 but not the surcode 5.1 plugin.
How can this be fixed?

Did you purchase the plugin? The Surcode that was included with Encore was a TRIAL ONLY, would give 3 uses, then you had to buy it for like $300. So if you bought it, contact the vendor (Minnetonka Audio) to retrieve your serial/re-download or whatever needs to be done.

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
Here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
