Automatic updating when preview in browser

Hi, could anyone tell me how to get DWCS3 to prompt me to save changes to a page when I go to preview in a browser? It always used to, but now it goes direct to the preview and I have to save changes manually. What did I do?

Under Edit >Preferences > Preview in Browser, if you uncheck the option for: Preview using temporary file
you will be asked to save before you can preview in the browser of your choice.

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

How can I prevent Firefox automatically updating when first opened on a new CentOS Installation ?

Hi,
I just installed CentOS on a new virtual machine for testing. I need to run Firefox 28 on it.
NO. Don't argue. It needs to be firefox 28.. Yes, I know firefox 35 is out. Yes I know it fixes important vulnerabilities. Yes, I know it has a load of new features. That information won't help me in the slightest. I need Firefox 28 on this virtual machine for a very specific reason, firefox 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 won't be suitable for this purpose.... The reason I need it is to do with testing a specific website compatibility with older browser versions on multiple operating systems. I am fully aware that the latest version of firefox is the "best"... but it's not what I need right now, so please don't ask questions like "why are you using an older version" or suggest things like "you know, it's really in your best interests to use the latest version"... I get it, OK.... but that's not a helpful reply to this question, because I have a really specific requirement here.
... sorry if that seems rude, I just know what sort of replies get posted here whenever someone suggests using an older browser. I do get why people give such advice. I do understand the benefits of keeping computers that connect to the internet up to date. This particular Virtual Machine won't actually be used to connect to the internet... just to a test website on an intranet.
So the problem I have is that this installation of CentOS 6.4 (x64) comes with Firefox 31. When it first opens, before I have a chance to toggle off update checking, it begins downloading Firefox 35.0.1 and I haven't figured out how to abort the download. I thought about killing the task, but I feared what that might do. So I let it update to Firefox 35 and thought I'd just downgrade it to Firefox 28 afterwards.
I do have the standalone installation of Firefox 28 for linux (firefox-28.0.tar.bz2). I can extract it on the CentOS virtual machine. I thought for my purpose, I could then just run the browser binary.... but it started updating before I could change the option to never check for updates... and there's no option to abort the download there....... sigh...
So I tried editing the file update-setting.ini. I was quite hopeful when I saw it say:
; If you modify this file updates may fail.
; Do not modify this file.
So I changed the setting below to say:
[Settings]
ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=dont_update_this_please
hoping that my rather rash change might indeed cause updates to fail :-)
Sadly, it seems that the updates are still happening.
Basically here is what I need on CentOS - A way to run Firefox 28 without it updating to a newer version without asking me first. I don't mind if it keeps asking me... so long as it asks me instead of just doing it without asking.
Just to be clear again - this is for a test configuration I have to build, on a virtual machine. It's OK for this one specific machine to have vulnerabilities, it's OK that it doesn't have all the new features of Firefox 35. It's what I need. It won't be used to browse the internet and go to dangerous web sites that might implant malicious code. It will only be used to connect to a specific web server, behind a corporate firewall, that my company tightly controls. I'm pretty sure doesn't have malware on it (if it does, I have much bigger problems that using an old version of a browser) . Then in a few weeks time, this VM will be deleted, along with the old version of Firefox I hope to have running on it.
Incidentally, I may also have to repeat whatever I'm doing here later on another CentOS VM to install Firefox 27, 26, 25... but I'm hoping I don't have to... but I assume that whatever procedure works for Firefox 28 will work for these other slightly older versions too... don't worry, I don't have to go all the way back to Firefox 1.0... it's not THAT bad :-)
So, with the understanding very clear that normally you would probably recommend just using the latest version.... can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

Why can't Chrome find the webpage when Previewing in Browser?

Hi -
This is thoroughly bizarre to me.
I can preview any site I'm working on using any browser I have except Chrome (current version 33.0.1750.152).
As an example - when I use Preview in Browser - Chrome says "the webpage is not found" - the path to the page is:
file://external-drive/_PROJECTS/CLIENT/_files-from-client/_SITE-031614/index.html
My next step is to manually navigate to the page using Chrome's File/Open. This works perfectly but when the page appears the path is different:
file:///Volumes/external-drive/_PROJECTS/CLIENT/_files-from-client/_SITE-031614/index.html
This second path is the same path in the Manage Sites/Site/Local Site Folder line. All other browsers (FFox, Safari, Opera) use this second path. But for some reason Chrome has shortened the path to an incorrect address. Weird!
I don't think this is related to Mavericks because it was happening before that upgrade.
Has anyone else had this happen? Can anyone explain how I can fix this?
TIA your insight.

BTW - other details:
Dreamweaver version 12 (CS6), Mac OS X 10.9.2.

Hi jl200,
I have the same problem since few weeks, and I am absolutely sure that jdaco answer isn't correct. All my files are on a desktop (iMac hard drive) all times and Dreamweaver has a problem with a preview in the Chrome browser. Few weeks ago everything was OK, so there isn't a problem with the files location. I think the problem has started after the last Dreamweaver update. Unfortunately I don't have any idea what to do to resolve this issue.
You're right, the answer provided might be part of the problem but it's not the solution to the whole problem. My files are located on the computer too and Chrome will not preview them, sometimes, most of the time.
I can't be asked to find out exactly why so I use Firefox or Safari.

When previewed in browser or on the server the path of my web site repeats folders. However the "href" in the html code does not show the repetition in the path.

If someone could help me on this one, this would be great. I am creating a web site that has several departments. I have categorized and saved each department in a main folder called "departments" and a subfolder for each one. In the Dreamweaver code view the pop-up menu links seem to show up properly, but when I preview in browser or upload to server "page not found" comes up because for some reason the address changes. Some parts of the address seem to be appearing twice, sometimes the entire path will appear twice as shown below:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/departments/p arks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn-map.html
that is incorrect and it takes me to "web page cannot be found".
It is obviously repeating the folders (hence the "departments/parks-and-recreation" twice. The correct link is:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn- map.html
The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu. For example if you go to http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn. html and rollover the link called "Arabia Mountain" in the links to the left side of the page, then click the pop-up menu link entitled "Arabia Mountain Map" that's where the problem occurs.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem. I don't know what I should do with the code since it already appears correct in html view.
Please help if you can...
Thanks in advance for any possible help you can provide...

This problem usually happens when the menu is either a server-side include or a library item using links relative to the document. When you reference a page at a different level of the folder hierarchy, the document-relative links no longer point to the correct destination.
Change the links in the menu to be relative to the site root.
A document-relative link usually looks like this:
<a href="../products/index.html">Products</a>
A link relative to the site root begins with a forward slash like this:
<a href="/products/index.html">Products</a>

CSS styles disappear when previewed in browser.

I created a web site following the Getting Started tutorials in Dreamweaver CS6. However, when I preview in the browser, the main page shows properly but if i click a link, the other pages do not seem to attach to the style sheet - BUT the style sheet reference is present in the code. Any ideas?
thanks

You are close to correct, but not quite there.
If you have enabled the use of temporary files in PREFERENCES > Preview in browser, when you preview a page from DW, you will actually create a temporary page from the current one and it's that temporary page that is displayed in the browser. Why create a temporary page to preview? Well, if your page's code contains any root relative links (as opposed to document relative links) then those will not work if the page is previewed directly. When a temp file is built, those links in the actual page are converted to document relative links in the temp file, and this temp file is then handed to the browser to preview.
Why don't root relative links work in a preview? When the browser sees a link like '<link href="/path_to_file.css"', it interprets the "/" as meaning the root of the HARD DRIVE, not the root of the site (browsers know nothing about DW sites), and will not find the linked file at that location (for example, C:/DW_path_to_file.css"). When those links are rewritten in the temp file being previewed as '<link href="path_to_file.css"', it works fine since the browser knows that means to look for the *.css file in the same folder as the file it is previewing.
Make sense? By the way, this is how DW has *always* worked.

Site won't display correctly when 'Published' to Business Catalyst but does when 'Preview' in browse

Basically I have a subscription to Muse and with that the ability to host one site with Business Catalyst. When checking the first site I designed I'd use 'Preview in Browser' and the site occasionaly displayed incorrectly, so I changed my habits to publishing the work-in-progress site to the BC url with this current site.
Unfortunately there are multiple display problems with doing this; the two images below show the difference between 'Publish' to the BC domain and 'Preview site in browser'.
I've cleared the cache of the browser multiple times and used both Firefox and Safari and the problem still remains. I'm assuming it's a problem with Business Catalyst?
Does anyone have a solution for this? Has data become corrupted in BC, and if so is there a way of 'flushing' the data held on the BC site clean to start from scratch?
Would really appreciate some help here as it's impossible to show my client the current state of the site
Thanks in advance

Hi Phil
I checked the site and i can see all the images in page.
Can you try to check with a different browser or if possible on a different system or device ?
Thanks,

After automatically updating when I turned on the computer, Firefox erased all my History from the end of September until the update yesterday; how can I get back all the searches in my Show All History?

When I opened Firefox and it automatically updated yesterday, all my search history from then back to the end of September was wiped clean from the "Show All History." I very much need that search history, which is essential for my research. I didn't bookmark it because I knew it would always be there. But it's not. Please help.

Error when previewing in Browser

I am using Captivate 8. My projects work as they should, but when I try to Preview in Browser, for some reason Captivate is triggering Microsoft Word to open. I am totally stumped on this and could really use some input.

Check the file associations on your computer. It sounds like you may have MS Word set up as the default app to open HTM files.

Automatic updates when not connected to WiFi

When I am on WiFi it seems like my automatic app updates always happen, but when I am using just cellular data, it doesn't seem to automatically update them, even though I have the option to use cellular data for automatic downloads turned on. I'll go into the app store and the update will just sit there and I'll have a red badge on my app store icon. As soon as I connect to a WiFi, the updated automaticaly downloads. I have all the settings turned on so it should update automatically even when I'm not on WiFi. Maybe it takes longer for the update to download when you are using cellular data? Anyone else experience this at all?

Do you have Settings > "iTunes & App Store" settings for "Updates" enabled and "Use Cellular Data" enabled. You need this in addition to "Cellular Data" and "App Store" enabled in the Settings > Cellular tab. This is one of the times where 2 places in Settings have to be enabled -- "iTunes & App Store" and "Cellular" for the auto updates to work over your cellular network.

Twitter DM screen doesn't automatically update when receiving new DM?

Hi,
I'm using Firefox 33.1.1. If I try and have a conversation via direct messages on Twitter, when I received a new DM, the screen doesn't automatically update to show the new message at the bottom of the conversation window. When I send a message to the other person, the screen does update and my message appears at the bottom, so this issue only happens when people send DMs to me. I see the notification pop-up in the bottom-right of the screen showing that I've got a new DM, but it doesn't appear in the DM window and I have to refresh the page manually every time. It's quite annoying.
I've tried restarting Firefox in Safe Mode, so no add-ons or running, and the issue persists.
Any idea what's causing it? Is it a compatibility issue with Firefox?
Thanks!

Potentially this is an issue with Firefox, I would be happy to test.
I ran a test between two vms. I messaged myself :-/ but when I switched between the two instances of the message, it did not automatically update until I tried to send a new message. There may be better test cases, but I can confirm the behavior. As for investigation for development, bugzilla.mozilla.org and stackoverflow.com should have the right audience for troubleshooting why.

Spinning Beachball when Preview in Browser is selected

I've spent several hours looking at the threads for slow
Dreamweaver, and have yet to find anything that works for me.
Whenever I choose, Preview in Browser, I get a spinning beachball,
and the page finally loads after 30-60 seconds.
I'm using an Intel Mac on a localhost server. Everything was
OK until recently. Now it's just too time consuming to wait to see
previews. Any original thoughts from the forum or anyone at
Adobe?

I'm sorry that I don't know the solution to what you
describe. But I wanted
to mention that I have barely, if at all, used the Preview
feature in the
past year or two (and many web sites built).
Dreamweaver's Design View is pretty accurate in the later
versions, so I
tend to use it to get a general idea of the layout I'm
producing, uploading
the files to the server to check them in real browsers.

Why is there an empty space on the right of my page when previewed in browser?

I've followed the guidelines on the design section of Muse but when I preview the page in the browser, I can scroll right and there be more of the page that hasn't been designed. I'm not sure what Pinning is but does it have something to do with that? I'm pretty sure it's an easy fix but I'm new to Muse and can't figure it out! Please Help!

Here's the site...
Home
The browser window is whatever automatically comes up, but it loads filling the whole browser window. The problem is that you can scroll into empty space.
I really don't understand pinning at all, could you give me a brief explanation of what it is or a link to a tutorial video that can. Thank you so much for the help guys!
Also, you'll notice the facebook feed I got from the facebook developers site isn't working. They say the message displayes comes up when the "author then deletes the post or changes the post audience selector from public"
All our posts are public so don't know who to fix this?
Again, thanks for your help!
