Can't create new plist for Firefox 2.0.16

I haven't been able to get anyone on the FF forum to answer this. I hope someone here maybe able to offer some suggestions:
I suspected some corruption in the .plist file (users/library/preferenes) of Firefox 2.0.16 and trashed it, assuming that the next time I opened Firefox (2.0.16) it would write a new one. It did not. Next I put the original App, itself, in the trash (it's still there, not yet emptied), downloaded a new dmg. for Firefox 2.0.16. (The original, now in the trash, was an update starting with earlier versions going back several years). That newly installed application (with original user profile saved from the previous one) will not write a new plist either
1. How do I get Firefox to write a new plist?
2. Does it matter? Haven't checked everything, but so far seems to be working OK without a plist. Preferences haven't changed.
3. I have the original on a clone. If necessary, can I just trash the new FF, put the old FF back in Applications and copy over the plist file from the clone?
BTW I notice a small difference between the size of the two Apps, old (48.1MB) and newly installed (47.7MB). They both appear as FF 2.0.16.
Thanks for help.

Well, file this one in the very strange category. I was just about to move over the plist from the clone, but thought I'd check one more time to see if it was still missing. There it was, right where it was supposed to be, created last night at some point in the middle of our exchange. Can't track it down exactly, but it was from before I was modifying FF preferences to see if Console-which never showed anything related- would report something. I can't remember at what point I first opened FF or even if I checked again last night to see if it was still missing. Probably just assumed it still wasn't there.
I had tried closing, opening FF numerous times, and restarting, in the afternoon when this first happened. But last night was a full re-boot. Maybe that's what did it, with first opening of FF?
What's puzzling, also, is none of my preferences were missing or changed throughout, and it didn't seem to make any noticeable difference that the plist was missing. That's why I had asked in my starting post if the missing plist really mattered.
Thanks very much for the help on this.

  • Can't create new OM For MTS Service Under Windows XP

    Hi all:
    I get a "Unable to locate the executable for the Oracle Service For MTS in the Chosen Oracle Home Directory. The service will not be created or midified. Please verify that Oracle Services for MTS is installed in the choosen Oracle Home" error.
    My machine has Windows XP Profesional with Oracle 8.1.6 on it. I guess that the bottomline here is that I don't have OM for MTS installed on my machine, but the Oracle Universal Installer never prompts me wether I wan't MTS suppor or not. It simply doesn't!
    I have tried to install the client tools but it doesn't solve the problem. My guess here is that OUI doesn't see neither MTS nor COM+ (the COM+ it expects), and assumes that I don't need COM+ support.
    Any Idea?
    TIA

    Where you able to get the Oracle MTS Services running on Windows XP Professional? I installed everything just like in my 2000 Server environment, but have problems when I try to create my service. First, I get a pop-up that says " Success in starting and creating service". I click OK, then I get a pop-up that says "Unable to read registry values! Failed".

  • Create new session for each window opening

    From a jsp page i open a page called student.jsp by clicking on students admision no.Therefore lots of pages can be opend in new windows with relevent student details.
    but when i click on the link i called a servlet, get relevent details and redirect to student.jsp. The problem is ,all opened windows have same session id and there are session conflicts.
    How can i create new sessions for each page thru the servlet or is there any other alternatives

    I actually was working on a problem that was similar to this, and the problem is with how each web-browser works with sessions...
    Each browser window (Except in one case with IE) will use the same session in each window.
    However, you might be able to use URL-Rewritting to manage your sessions and get around using cookies for for session tracking. I personally haven't tried this, but I'm betting that it will work.
    Best of Luck,

  • Can't create new partition

    Hello.
    I have a problem. I want to install WinXP via BootCamp and can't create new partition for it.
    BootCamp Assistant crashes during partitioning (kernel panic), and when I use Leopard installation disk and try to create new partition in Disk Utility on DVD, it returns an error "No space left on device".
    I repaired my hard disk many times (all errors were repaired) and still no improvement.
    I don't want to format my disk to zero, because I don't use Time Machine and it would be really difficult to restore all the data.
    Thank you in advance.

    Use Disk Utility Restore to copy your internal drive to an external USB/FW drive. Then reformat.

  • Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?

    Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?
    The business requirement is to limit the available entries for partners  displayed when they search in quality notification. I have already created new partner functions & assigned the relevant partner types, however struggling with defining new partner types.
    Would appreciate help in resolving this.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    I know this customisation setting ...It allows us to create the partner functions & assign it to the partner determination procedure.
    Then you can assign the procedure to the notification type.
    This customisation setting does not solve the problem I have.
    I'm looking for the partner type creation process which we assign to the partner function.

    Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do I fix this?

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

  • I've lost my iCal calendars and can't create new ones

    I've used iCal flawlessly for a long time. Suddenly, though, I noticed that I lost all my indivdual calendars in iCal. I couldn't see any calendar postings in the main calendar until I trashed my pref file from the library and relaunched. Then I would see the individual events created under my "home" calendar, yet I would not see the "home" calendar listed as an option in the left-hand view of calendars. Plus, I now can't create new calendars.
    Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

    Is this correct: you had multiple calendars; they disappeared from the calendar pane and their events from the main pane; you deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist; you now have a single calendar (Home) but cannot make more; you can see the events in Home?
    Can you add events to Home?
    Can you see as many folders in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ as you used to have calendars?
    Double-click ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist. Click the black triangle beside the word Root. In the line "List Array ..." how many ordered objects are reported? Does this match your original calendar count?
    What have you added/changed/modified recently? Might it have involved any fonts?

  • How can i create a Trash for external USB Drives ?

    Hello,
    how can i create a Trash for external USB Drives or my TimeCapsule ?
    Thanks.

    You do not need to create trash cans for individual drives.  The trash can on the desktop holds deleted files from all mounted drives.
    TimeCapsule manages its own space.  If it fills up it will delete older backps to make space for newer ones.

  • Is there a way to create a password for Firefox so Firefox is denied access to the internet without this password?

    Is there a way to create a password for Firefox to deny Firefox access to the internet?

    There is the Profile Password extension, but it is easily bypassed by using the Firefox SafeMode.
    http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPFF
    Another thing you can do is to set your Homepage to a website that you have a password logon saved for and use the Master Password feature. It won't completely stop someone else from using the internet but it will slow them down or make it appear they need a password for access.

    Hi Kiran,
    In these scenario generally runtime faults occurs so you can use the CatchAll activity and rethrow activity to complete the instance in error state. Also before the completion of the process if exception occurs you can rollback all the transaction.
    or
    you can use the Fault handling framework:

  • Can i create new CRM in 11i

    I have a question, can i create new CRM(Conflict resolution Manager) additionally in 11i EBS..?

    do we find any scripts to check about concurrent managers in EBS from back end(sqlplus )..?yes default installation give you some scripts to check about concurrent managers.
    The following SQL scripts located under $FND_TOP/sql :
    1. afimchk.sql Tells the status of the ICM and PMON method
    2. afcmstat.sql Lists active manager processes
    3. afrqrun.sql Lists all the running, waiting and terminating requests
    4. afrqwait.sql Lists requests that are constrained and waiting for the ICM to release them
    5. afrqscm.sql Prints log file name of managers that can run a given request. It can be used to check for possible errors when a request stays in pending status. It requires a request id value.
    6. afcmcreq.sql Prints the log file name of the manager that processed the request
    7. afrqstat.sql Summary of completed concurrent requests grouped by completion status and execution type. It requires number of days prior to today on which to report parameter.
    8. afimlock.sql Lists locks that the ICM is waiting to get

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.
