Adding a particular website as a shortcut on my desktop.

Basic, I know. I want to add a shortcut to a particular website to my desktop through Firefox so I can access it immediately.

You don't need to do it through Firefox.
If Firefox is your default browser here's how to do it:
Right Click on your desktop > New > Shortcut
Then you can give an address to where ever you want and name it as you like!
Another way is to bookmark the page you want. Then from bookmarks menu right click on it and choose '''copy'''. Then on your desktop right click and choose '''Paste Shortcut'''.
Hit 'Solved it' if this helped you so the topic would be closed.

Unable to access particular website

Hi there,
I'm wondering if BT is blocking access to a particular website. It's www.hostingreborn.com. If I try to browse, I get 'request timed out'. If I connect to the same website through my work VPN (using the VPN as default gateway) it works fine. I've also tried multiple computers in my house (various Linux & Windows boxes) with the same results.
I'm on BT Infinity using a Home Hub 3.
A ping to www.hostingreborn.com just times out. Again, ping response is fine from work (and anywhere else I try). This has been like this for at least week, perhaps more.
Any ideas?
Will

Hi Will. Welcome to the forums.
Is this still a problem for you ? I can access the site without difficulty.
In these sorts of situations, especially as all your connected computers are the same, I recommend that you power cycle the router and equipment to get a new IP address. I.e. disconnect the broadband, remove all power and wait for a few minutes before connecting.
You can chek what IP address you have with something like :-

to make sure that after you've reconnected you've got a different one.

It sounds as if maybe you have just bookmarked the wrong thing.
Probably the link you give in your post works if so use and bookmark that.
If necessary clear cookies and cache and start again from

Firefox (or any browser) will not load one particular website. It shows NO error message, just remains blank

I have the site bookmarked and I try through google as well. Neither Safari or Opera will load this particular website for me. I had this problem in an internet cafe this summer but when i got home it seemed to go away, now it's back. No matter which way I try I cannot get it to open this website. i am using a Macbook pro. I'd rather not have to use an open DNS or google DNS just to open the site i just want it to work like it did before. Any ideas, please?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.<br />
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

How to selectively allow traffic to only particular websites to particular computers

For a particular server, we would like to allow access to a particular website and block the all other internet traffic.
I have created an identity with that particular server, an access policy linked to a particular identity and custom URL category for the specific website. But still, the
server can browse to all websites.

Version 7.7.5-190 for Web

Hi,
You can go to System Administration --> Policy Trace tool and make sure the traffic is hitting the correct policy.

How to get no.of persons who visited a particular website

hi can u send me a program on how to get the no.of persons who visited a particular website..and is it possible to retrieve it..??? plz let me know

You mean you want to be able to get the # of visitors to your web site? There's plenty of web server log parsers out there to get stats or simple page counters.
If you mean you want to be able to get the # of visitors to any web site, then you can't... not without some serious hacking, which last I checked would be illegal in most places. Unless the site owner publishes the info for some reason.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

How to block a particular website in Firefox?

I want to block a particular website in Firefox so as to prevent my children from browsing that.I have done that in IE and GC. But,unable to do in Firefox.

The best way to do this is not by browser but by using parental controls. Blocking in a browser can always be bypassed (usually very easily). [[Block and unblock websites with parental controls]]

HttpUrlConnection.getInputStream() does not return for a particular website

Hi,
In my code, I am using an instance of java.net.HttpUrlConnection to "get" a web page. I am able to do it for all websites - except a particular website [Summary is at the end of this post]. The program hangs [for 10+ minutes and then throws an exception ] when I invoke
InputStream err = httpCon.getErrorStream();
System.out.println("Error is : " + err); // I get err as "null"
// It hangs below for 10+ minutes and then throws an exception
httpUrlConnection.getInputStream(); // httpUrlConnection is a valid
I get an error when I try to get the webpage using I.E or Netscape too.
So most likely there is some problem with the website. However I do not want my program to hang for 10+ minutes.
I even tried to get the headers but even that invocation blocks:
System.out.println("Reading header ........");
for(int i = 1; i < 100; i++) {
str = httpCon.getHeaderFieldKey(i); // <<<<<-- HANGS HERE!!!
if(str == null || str.length() <= 0) {
System.out.println("Header stopped reading at: " + i);
break;
System.out.println(str + ": " + httpCon.getHeaderField(str));
I get an exception trace after 10+ minutes :
java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:699)
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:604)

at com.panacya.dp.xml.HttpInputSource.processResponse(HttpInputSource.java:440)
at com.panacya.dp.xml.HttpInputSource.get(HttpInputSource.java:398)
Summary:
1. Works for most of the websites but not for at least one [out of 30+ I tried]
2. httpUrlConnection.getErrorStream() returns a null.
3. httpUrlConnection.getInputStream() blocks for 10+ minutes and the httpUrlConnection.getHeaderFieldKey() also blocks.
4. After 10+ minutes the program throws an exception.
Q) How do make the getInputStream() call as non-blocking or have a tweakable timeout? [better still check if the call getInputStream() should be made in the first place].
Thanks,
A C

very simple... start a new thread with a timer... create a variable in your main thread... if you recieve a request (at least one) before the timer runs out... then set the variable in the main thread to true, so when the thread runs out it will not throw an exception.... on the other hand if you do not receive a request... the thread will run out... see that the variable in the main thread is still false... so then... it willl throw a exception... that you can catch... and work with from there...
Have fun...

Problems with one particular website in Safari on iPhone

Forgive my ignorance; I am fairly clueless when it comes to technical issues.
I am having trouble using one particular website from my iPhone. On this one particular website, only the text of the site is rendering in Safari. The navigation, images, and headers of the site are completely missing.
I've tried to access the website in Safari from my coworker's Mac and it's fine. I can also access it with no problems on any other computers or browsers that I've tried. Every other site works fine on the iPhone except for this one particular website.
I made sure that my iPhone software was the latest version, and I reset the phone just to make sure, but that one website still isn't working. I contacted the webmaster who says he sees no problem on their end.
Any ideas what could be going wrong?

No, the site isn't Flash-based; it's a site I've visited on the phone dozens of times. This problem only started occurring a few days ago.
I'm embarrassed to admit that the site is Popsugar.com, a celeb gossip site that I visit whenever I'm bored.
