Auto update turned ON/OFF which is the best practice?

What are the pros and cons of having Auto-Updates turned on in Firefox

Information about autoupdate in general is here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version?esab=a&s=auto+update&r=5&as=s
The main pros is your browser will always be as secure as we can make it, you'll get new user features and also help move the web forward by ensuring that web developers can start taking advantage of new open, standard web features.
There are few cons, especially with silent/background updates in place. The main one would be if you require a very old plugin that is not being updated, however, realize you are putting your computer at risk if you choose to do this.

  • Which wayis the best practice ?

    Hi ,
    I am doubt of which way is the best practice to initialize instance component in a Panel.
    ie .is there any diference, in terms of performance , between initializing component inside the constructor or just outside of constructor?
    1)
    public class MyPanel extends JPanel
    private static JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
    public CustomerTaskPane()
    2)
    public class MyPanel extends JPanel
    private static JScrollPane scrollPane = null;
    public CustomerTaskPane()
    scrollPane = new JScrollPane()
    }

    Correction for the above reply.
    *btw can i avoid from declaring the static field of a class itself when i need to implement the class which follows Singleton pattern like.
    public class CustomerMainPanel extends JPanel
    public static CustomerMainPanel customerMainPanel = null;
    public static synchronized CustomerMainPanel getInstance()
    if( customerMainPanel == null )
    customerMainPanel = new CustomerMainPanel();
    return customerMainPanel;
    }

  • Which is the best practice

    hi all,
    i have some columns
    select org_port,org_pname,dis_port,dis_pname,fin_port,fin_pname
    from table
    where conditioni have to use these same columns in two three places.
    shall i use these columns in multiple columns or i have to select these columns in the select statement by giving alias names and use where ever we want.
    which is better and which one is good practice?
    please let me know.

    Create a procedure which has the result-columns from your query as OUT-parameters. Then call the procedure from the different places you need to.

  • Which is the best practice of creating distribution channels and divisions

    actually my company has 11 plant and every plant has differnt type of finished goods
    the sales is gone on order ,its exported and its given to distributers
    the goods are totally based on order and one product is dedicatedly going to one customer
    so in this way what should be the stretegy to creat division and distribution channel.

    hi,
    just to add, since the type of products if they are totally different in nature  better you create that many divisions. But a customer might be buying all of those are some of those. So, use common divisions concept. You might as well need to use the common distribution channel since you have exports and tomorrow see a situation for domestic sale. There can be different type of customers in domestic.
    so having few distribution channels helps. But, this depends on the project scope.
    but basically you are doing only export. Can go ahead with one distribution channel.
    But remember building up enterprise is the most critical thing and has to be done after a great deal of analysis keeping in view the project scope.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • My imac froze. I turned it off & on from the back

Now, i think i have all my music but I can't find my apps. plus, all my podacts & some TV shows are under music & i don't know how to move them to thier proper places
    Please help

    I had this issue with my iPad 4. I rebooted the iPad holding down the two "start buttons," which is the home bottom on the bottom and power button on the top right, in the portrait position. Also check to see if you muted the iPad in settings or just turned down the sound all the way, or some other setting in "Sounds."  I know that may sound stupid but it's an easy fix I'd that's the problem. I'm not an expert at all but I hope this helps. I'm actually having an issue with my update. It asked for a code after the update. Now I have to use it every time and can't get rid of it. Hopefully somebody will read my post!

    My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

    Anything is possible.

  • I too had the same vertical white line in the centre of the screen last night after having my iPhone 5 up and running for 10 days. I managed to turn it off by holding the buttons in and it came up with the iTunes screen....2 hours later it came good?

    I was talking outside on my iPhone 5 in a fairly humid environment (The Pilbara in January, 2014) then when the call was finished I hung up (as I was walking back inside to the air-conditioning) this white vertical line appeared in the centre of the screen and wouldn't go away. I couldn't use it NOR could I accept calls. (I called my number from my other phone). I eventually managed to turn it off after removing the protective casing (Otter Box) and then it came up with the white cord / iTunes screen........I left it for a while...it turned back on BUT is still had a flickering screen.......I re-charged it and I have backed it up this morning (at work) on iTunes and it seems to be working 'fine.' All I can say is 'DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE IF YOU HAVE ONE!' I haven't had an OUNCE of trouble with it and have owned it for at least 3 years. The iPhone has been up and 'running' since the 6th of January, 2014. This happened on the 15th of January, 2014.

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen.

  • Which is the best operating system to update my MacBook Air?

    I've just invested in a brand new MacBook Air, and I'm wanting to get the best out of it, so is it worth updating my OS? and if so which is the best to buy? Thanks

    Apple products always come with the latest. Just set up yopur system, and the run software updates to get any late changes from Apple. iLife 2011 is also included with your MBA. If the question you are actually asking has to do with other software versus OS, that is a much bigger question, and would be dependent on what you intend to do with the system.
    On January 6th, the Mac App Store will go live, and make it very easy to find and load software.

  • What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
    I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

  • I have an iPhone 5 unlocked. I have been using it for few weeks but 4 days ago I turned it off and in the morning it had NoService. Called tmobile and apple costumer services no one helped. Did any one had this issue and solved it?

    If you got the Unlocked message it means it was successfully unlocked by AT&T.  Apple will not relock or block it.  They have no objections to it being used on T-Mobile.  It is still under warrantee.  Take to an Apple store.  They can test it with a SIM from AT&T.  If that doesn't work have them replace the phone.  Have them verify that the new phone is unlocked.  If it does work with the AT&T card then it is a T_Mobile problem.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.
