Can I control which sites Firefox does 'get's from or not?

So many websites you visit put either a 1px by 1px "image" or iframe in the code Firefox reads. Firefox is designed to fetch or execute a 'get' command for each image tag it sees, whether the image is at the same host as the website or somewhere around the world from it. These one pixel 'images' and iframes are of course not meant to be noticed. Their purpose is to force a browser go and 'get' them. That URL then puts a cookie or other junk on your computer to do other sorts of snooping, like recording where you've browsed earlier to discover what your buying 'weaknesses' are, where you live and who knows what else..
I have Firebug so I can see all this crap on pages, but I don't know enough to design my own browser controls with it. I know Firefox has an add on, but it only works if the site you're on is courteous enough to comply with your wishes. I for one, don't trust anyone when it comes to making big bucks. For instance I detest Microsoft's service for advertisers, http://s0.2mdn(dot)net.
And this is just one of hundreds of such services growing every day.
I'm on an iMac using X.6.8... about to update to (Lion).
I love my browser. Firefox v. 7.0.1 for Mac

One way of doing this is to use either a ring or enum where the strings
presented to the user are "1", "10", or whatever you like. On the
diagram, the values will be 0, 1, 2, in a compact counting sequence.
Then do an array index into a constant. If this is done more than one
place, make the control a typedef so you can keep them consistent an
d
make the index be done in a subVI. Then whenever you need this, you
drop the control and the subVI, out comes the integer, float, or
whatever it is you want to index.

When i want to download firefox, it gets downloaded from a different site everytime. Is this legit?

when i want to download firefox, it gets downloaded from a different site everytime. Is this legit?
For example: a box from Norton Antivirus will pop up to ask me if I want to download firefox from ______ . The line will be filled with a different site everytime (this is one site: saimei.acc.umu.se). Can I trust this?

Yes as there is not one server but several mirrors around the help load balance the releases.mozilla.org

Many of the mirrors are Universities and also help host for other open source stuff like various Linux distros.
The one you link to is a University in Sweden.

iOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

I think that is influenced by the order in which the apps are installed on the iPad (I believe that it's the most recent 10 ?) - but as I haven't got more than 10 apps that support any document/file type I can't check.
If you want to able to edit the list, then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one

Can I control which of my devices shows photo stream

can I control which of my devices shows photo stream? I want to be able to store my photos privately in iCloud. I have my sons iPods synced to my iTunes Library but do not have my pictures on their devices. Can this be in the iCloud without going to all devices?

The only way to prevent a device from showing your photo stream photos is to either go to Settings>iCloud and turn off photo stream on the device or to not share the same iCloud account with the device. If you want to turn off photo stream on your son's iPod you can then go to Settings>General>Restrictions, set a restrictions passcode, then go to Accounts (at the bottom) and set to Don't Allow Changes. This will prevent him from changing this setting without the passcode. (If you do this, be sure to write down the restrictions passcode. If you ever lose it, the only way to remove it from the device is to restore it as a new device, without using the backup, losing all data and start over.)

HT4260 Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Yes. Use AirPort Utility's MAC Address Access Control.
AirPort Utility > select your base station > Edit button > Network tab > "Enable Access Control" > click the Timed Access Control button.
You need to specify the clients you want to control by their MAC address, which is usually printed on the device's exterior case.

Can I make it so Firefox remembers the websites from when I closed the app and automatically open them like in other browsers.

You may need to update your Firefox to get these features. It was introduced somewhat recently.

I recently upgraded some Adobe software (and I can't remember which one) and since that time, I have not been able to get videos on Firefox. I still can on Safari. What gives?

I'm sorry I can't remember which software I was requested to update....but it was an Adobe product. Now, Firefox is a little slow and fluky and I can't get videos at all. Sometimes, I can't google--it freezes, but intermittently.

Try a SMC reset:

Can I control which documents go up on iCloud?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to control which documents go up in iCloud? I plan to use my documents mostly for school so I like the idea of being able to save the documents on iCloud in case I forget to print a paper that I might need to submit or to e-mail myself a keynote file for a presentation. I have an iPhone so was hoping to use that with the iCloud in case of emergencies like that.
However, Im not too thrilled about having other documents of a more personal nature to be uploaded on the internet, regardless of how "safe" it might be. Therefore, I was wondering if any one knows whether it is possible to upload just certain documents in iCloud and keep others from being uploaded? If so, how do I do this?
I also like the ability of being able to hear whatever music I have on my Macbook Pro on my iPhone without the need to use the phone's storage or needing to sync the entire music library (i.e., get a particular song whenever I feel like listening to it while I'm on the go). Is this possible?
Thanks!

hi mpera,
Think of iCloud as any folder you got on you computer. In order to have a file in it, you must save it there or copy there.
There are only two different with a standard folder; first, for now you can only place iWork '09 file there and PDF (this should improve in time), second you don't have access to this folder by Finder but by the applications themselves.
If you need to make other type of documents accessible from the web, you will have to think of third party software like DropBox.

Does the message at some active sites "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" imply that a worm or the like is attempting to redirect to a hidden page?

The subject message occurs on sites I have activated from bookmarks, including my banking sites. What should I do about this warning? If it can safely be ignored, why does Firefox bother, causing me to worry that a worm or virus might at work in my PC?
Thanks for some elucidation. Richard

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

CRM 2011: Can you control which form is used based not security roles, but on a field value?

I see that you can control which form is used based on security roles, but can you control it based on other field values? I'd like a new record to use a different form until a given status is updated. I have a status of draft and active. So
it would be nice if I could use form1 for those in draft, form2 for those that are active. But I only see where you can control that via the security roles.
I can code all of this via JavaScript, but having the ability to use two separate forms would be nice. Is that even possible.
Best regards,
Jon Gregory Rothlander

Can we control if text in a page is converted, or not, to an image?

Hello!
My experience tells me that if I use iWeb 1.0.1 and I put the text color with 80% opacity, for example, all text will be converted to an image. Most of the times I like this behavior, because the result is the same on every computer or browser.
But after I update for iWeb 1.1.1 all text appears as text and no longer as images. Now, when I want some sites with the text converted to images I still use the older version (1.0.1).
My question is: Can we control if text is converted, or not, to an image? Can we force a particular text box to be converted to an image, after 1.0.1?
I search the iWeb forum and I have not find any answer for this particular question.
Sorry for my english...
Thanks!

Now answering newmacguru...
1. Why I want text to appear as an image?
Sometimes the graphical result is important. Most of the times, if you use a white or bright page background, what you see in iWeb is almost the same you see when browsing the page. No problem! But if the page background is black or dark, what you see when browsing the page can be different from what you see when developing the page with iWeb. And these differences can be important... Now if you tell iWeb to convert text to images, the result will be exactly the same you see in iWeb (the result you want).
Let me show you an example. This page was published with iWeb 1.0.1. In this case all text boxes were converted to images and the result you see is exactly what I want. Normally I choose opacity of 80% in the text color to reduce the contrast between text and background (this is the graphical result I most like):
http://clientes.netvisao.pt/3ebt2006/iweb/TesteTexto101/
Now if you publish the page with iWeb 1.1.1/1.1.2 the result is the same for both, but different from the pages obtained with iWeb 1.0.1. I only get the result I want if the text is converted to an image (using shadow). You can also see that with a white background you get good results even if the text remains text:
http://clientes.netvisao.pt/3ebt2006/iweb/TesteTexto111/
http://clientes.netvisao.pt/3ebt2006/iweb/TesteTexto112/
Thanks for the suggestion of the shadow. Sometimes using a non web safe font is not a solution, remember I want “that” graphical result...
2. Now, considering the search engines, I think I read in this forum that the search engines can do is work, even if text is converted to images, because the text still remains in the page (sorry I don’t remember where).
