Can't get the new firefox from repos [SOLVED]

i looked through all the pacman-for-newbies docs on the wiki, but i can't find anything to describe what i'm seeing here
so i see that firefox-3.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz is in ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/x86_64/
however, pacman doesn't seem to be able to find it (it still shows firefox's version as 3.0.11-1):

  • I have firefox 4 Beta installed on my computer and I can't get the new Firefox 4 to install, so some of the functions don't work,such as dropdowns on Google Toolbar? How can I fix this?

    I installed Firefox 4 beta when it was available as a tester before Firefox 4 was released, so I had two versions of Firefox on my computer. When Firefox 4 was released this week, I installed it and it replaced Firefox 3.6.15. For some reason it seems it didn't install the full version of Firefox 4, instead it's a similar version to the Beta version. For example, the drop down on Google search doesn't work when you click on an item in the drop down. Also the orange button that is supposed to replace the buttons on the top left of the browser is not there. It still has the 8 buttons, ie File, Edit, etc. How can I get the full version to install on my computer? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and I get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP Media center Edition OS. Please advise me on how to fix this. Thanks.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    I also have a question. Have you ever been able to access these sites from the Firefox on that computer?

  • How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JFrameTester{
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
              f.setSize( 500, 500 );
              ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
              MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I get the context-parm from a web.xml file using struts?

    Hello:
    I need get the context-param from the web.xml file of my web project using struts. I want configurate the jdbc datasource connection pooling here. For example:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>datasource</param-name>
    <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    <description>Jdbc datasource</description>
    </context-param>
    and then from any Action class get this parameter.
    Similar using a simple server can be:
    /** Initiates new XServlet */
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
              for (Enumeration e = config.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
                   System.out.println(e.nextElement());
              super.init(config);
              String str = config.getInitParameter("datasource");
              System.out.println(str);
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
              throws ServletException, IOException {
              // res.setContentType( );
              System.out.println("Got post request in XServlet");
              PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
              out.println("nada");
              out.flush();
              out.close();
    but only this works for init-params, if I use
    <servlet>
         <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>MyServlet</display-name>
         <servlet-class>myExamples.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>
         <init-param>
         <param-name>datasource</param-name>
         <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    </init-param>
    </servlet>
    inside my web.xml. I need something similar, but using struts inside the action class for that I can get the context-params and call my database.
    Thank you

    To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
    ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
    String tempContextVar =
    context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

  • How can I get the XML structure from a flat structure?

    Hi all,
    in my XI SP 12 I use a JMS adapter to read information using the WebSphereMQ transport protocol.
    The structure that I receive have this format:
    <Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value>
    <NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c>
    <Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
    <Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
    <Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    <Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    the problem is that in this structure each line is not separated by a carriage return or a comma, I have all the information in a single line:
    <Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value><NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c><Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>...<Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value><Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>...<Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    and the customer don't want to insert a line separator.
    Then, the question is:
    How can I get the XML structure from this structure?
    If possible, I don't want to develop new Module and add it in the JMS Module Sequence.
    PS I have already read the article "How to Use the Content Conversion Module with the XI 3 J2EE JMS Adapter.pdf" and it doesn't seem to help me.
    Best Regards,
    Paolo

  • I just bought the new late 2013 iMac.  Can I get the new iWork for free?

    I just bought a new late 2013 iMac.  Can I get the new iWork for free?  I updated it to Mavericks also.  The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote).  I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters.  Free updates for iPhoto and  iMovie seemed to show up with no problems.  Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

    Hi.  If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
    1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
    2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
    3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
    4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates.  It should now show up as a free update.  You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
    I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now.  I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
    Good luck.

    It is my understanding that the free upgrade is from iWork 09. The upgrade from iWork 08 to iWork 09 is always been a paid upgrade.

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.
