Can Firefox be a global object or is there a script that will enable reuse of a Firefox browser window? We are doing it with IE (Global ie as object) but I and others prefer Firefox.

A macro script, that is used very often by many workers, opens a new Firefox browser every time it is used. We want to reuse the Firefox browser window if it is already open. We have a script that does this with IE, but... well, it's IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== We tried to make our macro work with Firefox

Kevin, there are a few questions I can answer, but if you have irc you can also reach out to the #addons channel. I will also try to get in touch.

''Is there a way to find the GUIDs for these other browsers: K-Meleon, Waterfox, Firefox Nightly (we are guessing the Nightly builds use the same GUID as Firefox) so that we can add the appropriate information to our install.rdf and update.rdf files or does one need to get in contact with the respective projects to determine these?''
I do not know. There are generating GUIDS [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Generating_GUIDs]
Be right back. I will try asking for backup.

  • I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7.  I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files?  Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

    I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

    If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
    However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

    Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

    Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
    The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02

    Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02
    viewed the yuotube vid yesterday. deleted all the flv-files on the desktop.
    same thing today, a new window always puts the same empty file from yesterday.
    any suggestions?

    You can check the home page setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • IDCS6(MAC) 10.9.4 - a script that will make an anchored object and paste in clipboard contents

    I'm trying to create a script that will create an anchored object that will paste in clipboard contents.
    So far I have:
    var frameRef = app.selection[0];
        var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
        var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add();
    And this works fine, creating an inline object, that can further be defined (with anchor point settings etc).
    However, it is when I go to use app.paste() or app.pasteInto() that all hell breaks loose.
    The line of code I added was:
    anchorFrame.content = app.pasteInto();
    and the error I get is:
    What am I doing incorrectly?
    Colin

    @Colin – For the paste command you like to use, you have to:
    1. First select an object, in your case the added rectangle object
    2. Then use the pasteInto() method from the app object
    3. There is no content property for a rectangle object
    Watch out what is selected after you added the rectangle.
    What you have is a selection of the text frame when you start your code in line one.
    Adding a rectangle will not change that selection.
    The following code will do the job.
    However, if you use pasteInto() the pasted objects could be only partly visible inside the frame.
    Depends on the size and position of the added rectangle relative to the original copied page items.
    Make sure that you give the rectangle a proper size after or while you are adding it:
    var frameRef = app.selection[0];
    var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
    //Will add a rectangle sized 40 x 40 mm
    var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0,0,"40mm","40mm"]});
    app.select(null); //Optional
    app.select(anchorFrame);
    app.pasteInto();

  • Hello,  Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

    Hello,
    Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

    the offset has to be semi-automatic, apply an Offset Path Effect (by hand), create a Graphic Style out of it (by hand), then the script can apply this graphic style to objects.

  • Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space.  How to view pictures and other info in ICloud?

    Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space.  How to view pictures and other info in ICloud?  Can I upload documents from my desktop (Windows os)?
    Thanks.

    If you backed up your iphone to icloud, then there's a chance that doing a restore might bring back your photos.  I say "chance" because many users have tried that (assuming they had photos turned in for backups in settings), but ended up not getting back any photos.  If that happens, then they are gone. 
    Remember, you should have been syncing photos all along to a computer for archiving.  Don't trust the pictures to an icloud backup.

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Using Mac OSX 10.7.1: recently replaced our DSL modum & wireless router and suddently I can't get some web sites to load. Many do, but Twitter and others often do not. I've reset the browsing historty, forms, cookies and cache but it continues to happen.

    Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
    2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
    80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

  • Blue line runs across screen but Skype (and other Andoid apps) crashes and doesn't open

    The headline says it all really. I was forced to restore to an earlier saved version after problems associated with contacts. Amongst the many issues now is the inability to run adroid apps, whether ported on not. Not happy. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Did you restore your phone with an OS of at least 10.2.1? Anything earlier than that will not run Android apps.
    Cheers.
