Can't find an answer to this javascript problem!

Hi there
I have always found Firefox great but i'm about to switch to google chrome because for the last month or more everytime i click on lots of links i need to visit, firefox says:
'Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program.'
I try the same sites on google chrome and its fine.
this happened ever since the last Java update.
I have tried to go to the about:configure page and toggle the list from true to false , but it doesn't work - loads of them still keep coming up as false.
I'd be really grateful is someone could tell me how to fix this or i will have to say bye to firefox which is really sad as it used to be great

According to a suggestion in another thread, you may want to try the following to return certain JavaScript settings to their defaults.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''javasc''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the line with '''network.protocol-handler.external.javascript''' is bold (or shows user set true), double-click it to return its value to the default setting of false. This should get rid of that error.
(4) If the line with '''javascript.enabled''' is bold (or shows user set false), double-click it to return its value to the default setting of true.
Another thing to do would be to see if you have a user.js file active in your Profile Folder. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

    I will just break down the details simply and hopefully it makes sense.. A friend and I follow each other using Find my Friends. Only recently have we started having a problem, where in, I am not able to follow my friend, after we have already been following each other. On the app's screen it will have their name and it will say they are "a follower." But I am not able to follow their location. On their end, everything is seemingly fine.
    It doesn't even go as far as to say "location unavailable" (which would happen if they went incognito or stopped their location services, right?) when I tap on my friends name, just says that they are a "follower," again I cannot follow them. So I am having to re-invite them multiple times a day. Can anyone explain what is going on or how to fix this issue? Is it a known issue?
    Have closed the app, uninstalled, re-installed, updated iPhones to current software, reset phones. Have made each other "favorites." Don't know what else to do.

    According to Steve Wozniak's autobiography, "iWoz", the price of $666.66 was chosen solely because it was about the about of markup over the wholesale cost that they wanted and Steve liked repeating digits (in an interview he said that it was "an easier way to type"). Given the times - very, very early in the personal computer development - I doubt very much that they lost any sales due to someone's religious objections.

  • I've read a whole bunch of forums about printing from the Ipad2, I think I understand that, but I haven't found anything answering this:  I'm hesitating to buy an Ipad because I can't find an answer if this will work.

    What I want to do:  Set up a (non-gmail...Mobileme or another recommended) dedicated email account on my ipad2 (or ipad3) that does nothing but send e-mails and attachments to my gmail account.  Once sent, I can turn off my Ipad and put it away.  Then I can go to any computer that can open and print out my received gmail and attachments.  (Like, duh, any computer with an internet connection -smile-)
    A year from now, I might try setting this up to go thru google cloud/ cloud print -- do you know if apple is doing anything that willl prevent this?
    For now, just e-mail and attachments, sent to my gmail account from ipad. The ipad account is to use a unique e-mail address, password, username, login.
    Know if this will work?  If a work-around is needed, do you know of one?  I'm real vague about what a 'push' is in e-mail speak.
    Thanks, minimalistme

    Sorry, but I'm a bit more confused (by your examples).

    Hi Chris - I'm just trying to be able to get print-outs from my ipad without carrying a special printer around.  Suppose I'm traveling and want to provide a bank statement to verify income: I can ask them ( a landlord, say) to let me print it out and sign it for them.
    This assumes you are using your iPad and they have an AirPrint capable printer. Or you send/email the form to them.
    Or I need to print out a PDF while I'm visiting my nephew - I can fill it out and have him print it out for me.  Or I can fill out that landlord's application blank with my ipad and email it to him.
    What does this have to do with emailing from one of your accounts to another of your accounts?
    Gmail apparently prevents us from sending emails to ourselves.
    You mean from/to the same account?
    If you can access the email, why would you need to resend it to the same account?
    Anyway, its not a privacy issue, but rather a work-around
    Don't understand/know what you are working around...
    Access the email then send to your landlord or nephew and have them print it.
    If they have an AirPrint printer available, you can print it yourself.
    Use their computer to access your email though webmail and print it on their printer.
    Again, I don't understand what forwarding the email to yourself will accomplish.

  • I can't find the answer for this anywhere on the internet...please help

    I am trying to learn some things that arent taught to me in class and I would say that I am a beginner, but I have a solid knowledge base of the syntax of java. I am trying to make a program that will log into my gmail account for me. I have to do a presentation at the end of the semester and I would like to take the input from the user and log into gmail by outputting the input taken into the gmail login textboxes. Is this done through source or is it something different. I know this seems pointless, but I think it is fun to learn new things in this language. I can always make it more usefull for myself if I go back and make my usename and password static or final within my class. If anyone can help me or at least tell me what classes in the API would be helpfull for this that would be great. Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kitty...I guess I am not as good as I thought because I don't really know how to impliment this and truely understand it. How long have you been programming java?

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,

    Your biggest problem will be finding a retail copy of the Leopard install DVD. Finding a Family Pack will be even harder.
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

    I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

    When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
    See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

    the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

    The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
    Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
    How are you running into this ?
    From the CVI help...
    This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
    It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
    If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
    return -1; /* out of memory */
    /* your other code */
    return 0;
    If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
    int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
    int nCmdShow)
    if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
    return -1; /* out of memory */
    /* your other code */
    return 0;
    If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
    int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
    void *lpvReserved)
    if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
    if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
    return 0; /* out of memory */
    /* your other ATTACH code */
    else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
    /* your other DETACH code */
    CloseCVIRTE ();
    return 1;
    NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
    utility.h.
    NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
    three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
    created using the one-parameter version of the function
    will continue to work properly.
    /*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
    int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);
