Can't identify links visited in browser
I've never seen a browser where the links that you've already visited. In every other browser the link changes to a different color. If you're in Craigslist or some page that has hundreds of links, you can't tell which ones you've already followed. Bizarre.

Hey there,
I have a strange bug with my browser and does not know how to solve it. Normal case with every browser: if i visit a link on a page it appear to be purple, so i know i have visited this.
THis does not work with the webos browser, and i have no clue why. i asked a friend and on his touchpad it works.
I checked all settings, wiped out the browser datas....
This is a day 1 issue for me and allready happend before tweaking my little machine in any way. Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Can not open links while in browser?
So, I can't click on links with the cursor while I am in browser, if it highlights the link I can right click and hit open link, but can not just click with the trackball, does anyone know how to fix this?
I asked your device operating system release?
lol, no, not a virus.
The most recent OS release you're likely running contains a bug. Just hover over the link and press Menu > Get Link.
it's be fixed in a later release.

For example can i identify the user who clicked on the link of webform? Because i have a list of users and every time individual needs to select their name.?
Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to create a user specific form in FormsCentral, It is not possible to identify the users who has visited the link.

couldn't find the adequate forum. I run win 8.1 and the adobe acrobat dc app on my computer doesn't access the doc cloud. I can´t turn the mobile link on. I can access the cloud from my browser, but not from the desktop app. I can access from my mobile app.
Can you please post a screenshot of your Acrobat DC when launched, without opening a PDF?
Thanks,

Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing. The whole window just turns grey.
Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing on iMac 10.7.5. The whole window just turns grey. It started happening around the time of the new bookmarks menu upgrade recently which changed the bookmarks to be only on the side and makes it so you can see all your bookmarks while browsing. I know I have a lot of bookmarks, so I tried hiding them, but it still happens. I ALREADY TRIED CLEARING MY HISTORY, AND THAT DID NOT HELP, AND I HAVE NO EXTENSIONS FOR THIS BROWSER.
Does the fact that I am in Brasil have anything to do with it?
Thank you to anyone who can help. In case no one can come up with an answer, is there an easy way to transfer my bookmarks from safari to either firefox or chrome?
Much appreciated.1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
How can I identify the cause of a Script Error
We have a client who has been using Contribute for a few years and who has reported that they are constantly getting a Script Error message when using Contribute to edit pages.
This message has only started to show in the last week or so despite there not having been any revisions to the site template (that I'm aware of).
The message seems to be appearing when visiting most if not all pages on the site.
I've looked at the scripts used in the site but can't identify anything with reference to MM_swapimage in Line: 1 Char: 1
Can anyone give suggestions for solving this issue or at least to stop the error message from conatantly appearing?
Screen shot of the message attached for reference.You can try installing IE 9. Since Contribute uses the latest version of IE installed in the machine as its embedded browser, this issue might be solved.

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hi there,
Please excuse me if a make a few mistakes, I am French ;)
I come here because firefox and thunderbird are not working together anymore. This is what happens :
- Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
- I click on a link in an email
- A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up. The title is : "Close Firefox", the content is : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Second case :
- Firefox is closed and Thunderbird is open
- I click on a link in an email
- A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up as expected. Firefox opens the link as expected but doesn't opens the other tabs as usual (when i start FF it re-opens previous tabs)
Third case :
- Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
- I click on a link to send an email (<a href="mailto:......@.....">)
- A few seconds after that a Thunderbird windows pops up. The title is : "Close Thunderbird", the content is : "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
As in the second case, if TB is closed when i click on the mailto, TB opens properly and send the email.
If Internet Explorer is set as my default browser, it works fine for "Thunderbird -> link -> IE" but the "IE-> mailto -> TB" still doesn't work.
I already looked up for some answers on google but can't find something which works.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
VincentCheck the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar. -
Can't open links in Skype, WLM nor saved HTML (Firefox won't respond)
"I can't open links in Skype chat windows when having a Firefox session running in the background, it just flashes the window borders. If i close Firefox and leftclick on the links Firefox automatically opens the link but not while having a session running in the background. Strange thing while having clicked the link and started a new Firefox session it opens the tabs as usual while clicking the links the next few times but closing Firefox again and restarting it and then click on links in Skype window, it doesn't respond. I have to bring the context menu and then choose copy adress."
I see there is no answer for the problem that guy have had and I have the same problem - links from skype and from windows live mail won't open and there's more - FF doesn't open html files that are saved to pc, even thou I just saved em, but when I click on em happens nothing and when I rightclick and choose open with FF happens nothing.
It worked for couple of weeks with no problem and suddenly today links just make skype flash exactly as in christianhbergs description and in windows live mail they are becoming purple but firefox doesn't react.
as soon as I make IE as my default - links are working, but not with firefox.
So I assume the problem is in firefox (not in skype or WLM nor in Win8)
(running Win8 and FF25.0)

Can't open a pdf within browser with newest version of Adobe Reader
After installing Adobe Reader 9.3 I can't view links to a PDF file. I get this message.
'The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to veiw PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.'
How can get to the PDF file on the internet if you are not in a browser?
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksI'm actually having the same problem on several computers running both Windows XP sp3 and Windows 7. I've deployed a customized installation created in Adobe Customization Wizard (basicly just turned off the Adobe Online/Registration options in the menu). WinXP use IE6 and Win7 naturally IE8.
I'm going to try and find a solution to this and I will get back to you if I do find one.
In the mean time you can start Adobe Reader, go to the "Edit" menu and select "preferences", find the option "Internet" on the left menu and remove the option for "View PDF's in web browser".
Edit:
Actually, I found this in case you haven't found it yourself yet: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405461.html
Unfortunately that doesn't help me much, since I need to figure out why the installer won't do it properly. So if anyone else have an idea about this it would be appreciated if you could share your knowledge. -

I inherited a Help project in RoboHelp 6. I have both
context-sensitive topics and am developing a total Help system. I
am frustrated with several "features" of RoboHelp.
1) I can't figure out how to control how links open. I want
them all to open in a small Help window, so when a user clicks a
link, it opens in the same Help window. Instead, many of my links
are opening in a full browser window. How do I control this?
2) When I edit code in their supposedly "TrueCode" mode, my
changes do not "take" -- instead RoboHelp shows something else, and
this happens even when I edit the file in another editor. I hate
this!!! (One example: to try to fix the window-opening problem, I
tried adding Target="Self" to links, but RoboHelp removes the quote
marks)
3) Why no Back button? I saw the item about adding a back
button with JavaScript and will try it. I find the lack of a Back
button annoying in RoboHelp's own Help, which IMHO is not well
organized or well-written (am I the last person on earth to
understand that "display" is a transitive verb? Or that you don't
open a "dialog" but rather a "dialog box?"I really do appreciate your help, and I want to apologize for
offending anyone. I think my antipathy to RoboHelp began years ago
with a totally different version, plus, with my current project, I
came in behind someone else who recommended the company buy
RoboHelp (at a cost of $1000), started the Help and had very little
done before she quit and they hired me. My work involves more than
doing this Help system, but I wish I could have been here to review
and recommend tools... and maybe I would have ended up with
RoboHelp anyhow. I don't want to waste the company's $1000
investment, so I just have to master this tool, even if I do have a
laundry list of complaints about it.
Your comments were considerably more helpful to me than the
RoboHelp Help. I now realize that 1) RoboHelp talks about "frames"
because a full help window (with TOC) actually uses frames, and 2)
what I want to do may not be possible.
Here is what is happening. Our application is not
Windows-based, but rather uses "portlets" -- a "page" in the
application may have 7 or 8 portlets that load independently (the
user can configure his page to have the portlets he wants). The
user can right-click a portlet to get a menu of options that
includes "Help." When the user clicks this Help option, he gets a
small single-topic window, without frames or TOC. The Help file is
given the same name as the portlet. This is the instruction I got
from the developers, who showed me how to find the portlet name.
This is all working just fine.
Here's the problem: I have links inside those single-topic
windows. When you click a link inside these windows (the
context-sensitive help associated with the portlets), the link
opens a full browser window. The small window with the portlet Help
remains. The new window does not replace the old window. What I
intended (and was trying to make happen with those RoboHelp choices
from "Display in frame" in the Hyperlink window) was for the link
to replace the previous window -- to appear in the small
single-topic window.
When I preview a topic, the links DO open in the same size
window, but maybe that is not surprising. The application may act
differently. If RoboHelp can only control how a link behaves when
the link is in a full (with frames) Help window, then maybe none of
the "Display in frame" choices will make any difference. Is it
possible that I just can't have any links in a context-sensitive
window? Or is this something the developers could change by
specifiying that windows replace windows?
Can you see how it seemed to me that I could fix how the
links should behave in the HTML? It certainly seems logical that a
simple "target="self" would work, and I did not know why RoboHelp
was changing the code. Was it to insure that the code would NOT
work (as in "commenting out" lines of code?) RoboHelp Help is not
big on explaining what its features are actually doing.
If I cannot have links inside a context-sensitive,
single-topic small window, then I need to rethink the design of my
Help system. The developers gave this very little thought and
seemed to think the context-sensitive help would be enough to guide
the users, but I can see that it is not enough. We DO need a full
(with TOC) Help system, as not all features are just a portlet.
Some features involve tabbed pages that have no "Help" link. This
is a very complex EMR (Electronic Medical Records) system, with a
lot of features that need explaining... So, at present, I am mixing
the two kinds of Help -- context-sensitive and full Help, with TOC.
The developers automatically add "Help" to all right-click menus,
so they are working on a concept of context-sensitive Help. I can
create a file for all those "help" menu items, but the help will
not be as helpful as I'd like if I can't put links to related
topics inside the window.
I have not tried RoboHelp's "related" button feature because
I prefer to just put the links in the window than have users do the
extra step of clicking a button, but I could try that if the
"related topics" pop-up would give me links that would open inside
the small window. It just does not seem acceptable ot me to hav
Help windows going outside the system to a full browser window that
leaves the previous window open.
Regarding the question about whether the project files and
output files are the same -- the output file is clearly different,
but both use the target=_self format. I don't know if we're using
the RH CSH interface. I will try to get more information from the
developers as to whether they have somehow set these windows to
work this way.
Regarding creating a new "Window" defintion--- I did look
into that, and you can specify a "one pane" window, but I don't
want a Help topic to be confined to one pane. The same topic that
is a context-senstive topic also appears in the TOC, sowhen the
user is accessing it from the full Help, the topic should open in
the right pane, like every other topic accessed this way. The
"window" definition does let you set a window size and choose to
make it resizable or not. But it is not this "window" feature that
is controlling the context-sensitive windows, since they are not
set to a separate "window" definition, so it is not clear that this
strategy would actually work.
Have I explained the problem better? My purpose is to create
useful and helpful Help. RoboHelp is the tool I've been given to do
it, and I am not experienced with this tool. If anyone can tell me
if I can get those links to open in the same window as the previous
single-topic small window, I would be most grateful. Otherwise, I
may have to rethink my whole design.
Again, I am sorry if I was overly critical and offended
anyone. -
Can't view shared images via browser
I use an old version of Skype, and I do not want to update. Whenever somebody sends an image via Skype, I see this message:
<user> sent a photo.
This device doesn't support Skype's new photo sharing features yet, but you can still view it in your browser here:
https://api.asm.skype.com/s/i?[...]
When I go to the link, it asks me to log into Skype, when I login, I see a page saying "Sorry, we were unable to open this photo. Try signing into Skype again.". No matter how many times I log in again, it still shows this message.
Please help.
Thank you.Mateon1 wrote:

If the recipient is also using one of the latest Skype versions (on Windows it must be 6.21 or later), a preview of this image will be displayed in the chat window.
On older Skype versions, only a link (similar to the one as you are seeing) to this image saved on the Cloud server is displayed.
Theoretically, clicking on this link and signing in with your Skype account should display this image in your browser.
If this was not the case, then the image might have been corrupted or there is an issue with your browser. What browser have you used to open this link?
I use Google Chrome, the latest beta version (40.0.2214.85 beta-m). I find this unlikely that this particular image is corrupted, because I can view it with Skype on my phone, and this issue happens with all images shared via Skype, as far as I can tell.
I have not tried to open the image links in Chrome, but it works with both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Make sure that you have the latest IE version installed on your computer and try to open this link in IE. -
Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, screen just shows blank.
Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, when I click on the link the screen just goes to a blank blue screen.
If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.

Hello ,
I want to ask some question about ipads \
How powerful is the iPad?
How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?
please help meit's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.
Maybe you are looking for
