Can someone help me understand why the search engine will not do anything when I click the search icon or press enter, and why new windows won't open when I click on a link that should open one?

When I type something in the search engine at the right hand corner of the screen it will not allow the search to take place. What I mean is I either click the icon or press enter and nothing happens. I would understand it better if it at the very least gave me a error message. I have also noticed that things like the opening of a new window via a link will not work. An example is I was just on www.walmart.com and when I clicked on an image in order to see a larger one no window opened. I also recently noticed that when I had a lot of tabs open the shortcut menus and menus in general did not load completely or really at all keeping me from saving the pages as bookmarks. I know this could be from low internet speed, a lot of tabs etc..., but I've had many more tabs open than I had then and it worked. Plus all I did was delete or close one tab and suddenly it worked. I then recovered the tab and it still worked even though I was back at the original amount of tabs. I have the latest version of firefox, not counting the beta, and I don't know of any way to solve the two main problems.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I assume you are including the STIX font as part of your epub files?
Perhaps the folks who do this blog might be able to help -- they have done some work with font embedding:

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing. Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

In the add search engines they show, but not on the search bar.
See images for example.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

hello imans314, the multiple engines should appear once you start typing in the searchbar. if you just hit enter after the search term it will go to your default engine...

Can someone help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Can someone please help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Hello generousdragon,
It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes shortly after launching it. Use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with this step to isolate 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue, an use the rest of the troubleshooting if needed.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Can someone help me understand what the measurement em stands for?

I have been running into the measurement em (or is it en) and I cannot find an explanation as to what it means. Can someone explain it to me with an example or two?
Thank you

Murray *ACP* wrote:
It's a relative font metric. 1em means use the browser's default size, while .5em means use half the browser's default size. The default size is usually 16px, unless changed by some other CSS on the site.
Hi
To add to whar Murray has written, the relative font metric actually comes from the size of the letter 'm'. This means that if you have a width of 20em it will be 20 times the width of the letter 'm' in your chosen font not the browsers default font, (thats the theory). Some older browsers may use the browsers default font, (NN4, I did say old!) or even a few current mobile browsers.
It is also possible, (in a few modern browsers) to use en or ex for the mesurement, and these are based on the letter 'n' and 'x' respectively.

When i klick a link that should open the page in a new window it opens up a blank page

For example a link like this: javascript:%20window.open('http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P',%20'_blank',%20'height=580,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');undefined
It opens up a new window, but blank. Happens pretty often so I´m greatful if I could get help fixing this.

That link doesn't seem to exist anymore on that server: http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P
