Desktop version while browsing

I want to browse a website using my mobile phone in desktop version. How can I disable the mobile version?

Hi Iomankam,
You can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/phony/ Phony], an extension for Firefox mobile that will let you tweak the User-Agent to match that of Desktop Firefox. What this will do is force the browser to mimic that of Desktop Firefox and sites will serve the non-mobile content to the browser.

Is there an option to set firefox android to never remember browsing history like you can on the desktop version?

Are there any options within the android version of Firefox to set the history to never remember like you can in the desktop version of Firefox and if not will this feature ever be available on Firefox android.

I looked for it in the about:config but could not find it, however this may be because im using the beta version. So i added a new Boolean in the about:config named "browser.privatebrowsing.autostart" and set it to true. Once I had done this I found firefox was no longer keeping a record of webpage that been visited. Thanks for your help @cor-el

While browsing Firefox, display another htm*file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer and not getting the erro message "Firefox is already running (etc) "

While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.

The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)
The system/environment variable MOZ_nO_REMOTE is now 0, changed from 1, but I can see no difference. Maybe I need to restart the system to get a change ?
Thank you.

SVG image does not appear in mobile version but does in desktop version

Hi,
I am new to using Muse and have created only one site before in Muse. I have taken screenshots to show the problem I am having.
I have used Illustrator to create the following logo image that I save out as an SVG file:
As you've probably guessed, I have used clipping mask to insert the marbly purple image into the shapes and text (this may be relevant to the problem, I don't know).
I then save it out as an SVG with the following details as advised by Adobe:
Then moving into Muse, I File > Place the SVG file. 'Unable to generate thumbnail' comes up in both desktop and phone versions:
Regardless, I uploaded to FTP post to my website. While the SVG appears perfectly on my desktop browser, it does not show at all on my phone browser:
This is not only happening on my phone, I have visited the same website on multiple phone devices and still the SVG image does not appear. Any ideas why this is happening?
Have I totally missed something about file formats for mobile browser versions in Muse?
Also- in illustrator, I saved the SVG logo for the mobile version as a SMALLER SVG than the one I saved for the desktop version.
Thanks

Use a PNG file. I see nothing in your logo that would warrant using anything else. You're not scaling it, there is no interaction and all you are doing is masking out some data that is pixels already. Pardon me, but using an SVG makes no sense at all. Beyond that one would need to see the file, but my guess would be that the "responsive" setting once again embeds some garbage data. Wouldn't be the first time...

Not able to access desktop version of Yahoo email ...

I have been trying to access Yahoo email thru the Browser on the Lumia 800 phone. Every time I access the www.mail.yahoo.com website and enter my login name and password and submit, I repeatedly get the same page again and again which asks me to verify my password. There seems to be a software error in the Lumia 800. I have contacted the Nokia helpline which was unhelpful as usual. This time, they informed me that this error IS possible while accessing Yahoo email thru the browser and that no solution is possible. The only suggestion they had was to use the synchronization method to access the Yahoo mailbox - but this solution is not feasible for either accessing the older emails and or for sending file attachments.

Hi Smart_Xplorer,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
I was able to access my Yahoo account using the desktop version of their service, the only error message I got was that the screen size was smaller than they recommend, but I still got through to the mailbox. So, check your browser settings, especially that you allow cookies on your phone and that your preferred website version is desktop. Also, delete your browsing history in case some old cookies are causing trouble.
As for the disadvantages of using the synchronisation method, it is only possible to add attachments in the synchronisation method as IE9 does not allow you to upload files (thus add attachments via the web interface). When you set up the synchronisation, you can set Download email from to any time, which should fetch most of the emails from your mailbox.
Hope this helps!

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Is there a way to view only desktop versions of web pages on the iPad?

Samsung galaxy a smaller actual mobile has the option to do this.. I've seen this question before and some people were wrong in saying that its up the programming discretion of the host website. It doesn't work for every site on my galaxy but it does for majority of pages I try it on. This tablet screen resolution and processor should allow any and every web page to be fine with viewing desktop versions and not limited mobile versions. This is why I try to tell my friends Apple is amazing but they aren't superior to all others. It's like being a sheltered kid who finished school and is working for his dads company (apple ) vs being out in the real world (windows)
I digress..
Is there an app I can download or some way I can program my iPad myself so it only opens desktop versions and gets flash player ? Also if anyone knows any websites where I can teach myself programming codes and mods that would really help also. Thanks

Indexing not working correctly in desktop version

We have a tool which generates output as a PDF document. One of our customers has a requirement for this output to be indexed so that they can browse using the bookmark menu at the left of the screen.
When viewing the output document in a browser window (I use FireFox) the links work correctly, and link to the correct page. When saving the file however, and opening it in the desktop version of Reader (typically by double-clicking), the index fails to link to the correct page.
Further investigation reveals a spill-over pagebreak between pages 2 and 3 of our output, and this is what the desktop version of Reader is not picking up when generating its index. The FireFox plugin version picks it up fine.
Our workaround is obviously to tell our customers to open their saved output in their browser window, but this is an issue that needs fixing nonetheless.

Stormbrook

Sadly, mentioning things in a forum isn't a report and the chances of Adobe staff seeing it or acting on it are negligible. There is a bug report forum. This does seem to get to Adobe (though they never seem to reply or acknowlege). Clearly an actual bug report would need to give a specific problem PDF, describe what it does, and describe what you think it SHOULD do.
That said, I don't think you are describing a bug. The behaviour of links in Adobe Reader is quite well understood, and there is nothing to fix. Links are always to a rectangular region of the page, and Reader always makes that rectangle visible. It sounds as if your software is generating links that are not making the best use of a rectangle. You say "when Reader is...generating its index" and that rather baffles me. Reader doesn't generate indexes. The index is already present and fixed in the PDF.

Firefox OS: the pdf pages on the web not opening while browsing... how to fix it? is there any way to download them?

The pdf pages not ppening while browsing.... How to fix it? Is there any way to download pdf pages?

Hi shaanameer,
I understand that you would like to open PDF files on your newly purchased Firefox OS device.
If you have the Intex Cloud FX with Firefox OS version 1.3T, it does not support PDF files because of memory and hardware limitations.
If you have a different Firefox OS device, please reply to this message with the following information:
* What is the model of your phone?
* What is the OS version and Build ID found in the Device Information page? Please visit [http://mzl.la/Gzz6Kp this link] if you need help finding the Build ID of your phone.
* Please provide the exact steps to reproduce the issue you are encountering.
* Who is your current cell phone carrier?
* How often do you encounter this issue?
Please be sure to include as much detail as possible, including any websites that may exhibit this issue, and any error messages that you may be receiving, exactly as they appear. This will ensure that we will have all the information needed to investigate into this. Thank you for your help and we look forward to hearing from you!

Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1. to version 3.5.2

I originally purchased Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1 from the App Store. Apparently Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.2 has been released. Guess what??? The App Store does not have the update for version 3.5.2. I downloaded the update from the Apple Support Downloads page and installed. Guess what??? Apple Remote Desktop is still at version 3.5.1.
I originally recommended to my mother to purchase a MacBook Pro and I could remote to her computer to undo anything that she has done...laugh. At almost 70 years old, it's a challenge... I was able to remote to her computer for a while and now can't. I guess version 3.5.2 was supposed to fix this issue. She has ARD version 3.5.2 on her computer. We both have Lion version 10.7.3 installed as well.
How am I supposed to get the update for verson 3.5.2 installed? Why doesn't the App Store have the update? Am I not doing something correctly?
Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.

If your mom had any kind of issue with her internert connection, Her ISP might have her reset the modem. Some times a power outage can cause a modem to revert to default settings. And any time it a modem is reset to defaults the modem has to be re-configured for ARD.
ARDAgent is the OS built-in tool for remote viewing / controlling the screen. If you want to SSH in, you need enable remote Management Login on your moms computer. (it's in system prefrences, sharing) If you do SSH, ARDAgent can be access from the command line to start/stop/restart and reconfigure ARDAgent. But just like ARD, you need the right ports open on your moms firewall/router to make the connection.
You could check to make sure the firewall is off on your moms computer. (system prefrences, securty, firewall tab) you could have her uncheck Remote Management and recheck it to restart the ARDAgent service. (system prefrences, sharing)
If your moms IP address changes frequently. You could look into a subscription service like DYNdns. It requires software on your moms computer, but basicaly it report to the DYNdns server what ever your mom's current IP address is. And in turn give you a DNS address you can use to contact your moms firewall. some thing like mom.dyndns.com. Even with DYNdns, you may find you need to delete and re-add your moms computer from ARD to connect.
logmein dosen't require DYNdns or port configuration. Because it reports into the logmein servers so there no ports need to be opened.
If you talk to your moms ISP. They would need to open the ports 5900 for UDP and TCP. Along with 3283 for UDP and TCP. MAlong with 22 for TCP (SSH and file transfer). And of corse when they open the ports they need to route to your moms computer consistently.
I'm surprised they would help you with this. I don't think my ISP would be as acomidating.

Can the phone site be disabled and have phones display the desktop site while designing phone site?

Currently, I have a live desktop design website which is being updated regularly. I tried to begin a phone site design, but was interrupted with a change to the desktop site (I'm adding new sponsors to an event on a regular basis). When I uploaded to the FTP, the phone site was also pushed through, making an unfinished page pop up on the browser of my phone. My phone site is going to be quite large in regards to page number and it's not practical to disable and enable each individual page.
Can I have the phone site entirely disabled and have phones display the desktop site while in the process of designing the phone app? I will still need to update the desktop site during this design period.
Thanks!

Desktop version looks different

Hi,
Something really odd happened and it happened on the desktop version only (mobile and tablet are fine).
In this example:
http://wwwthinkreelfilmscom.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
the green color from the notepad (in HOME and in CONTACT) used to be able to blend perfectly with the browser fill color. However, it no longer blend anymore. As far as I am concern, nothing had changed. Another strange thing is that when I preview it, it blends perfectly.
Any pointers appreciated.
UPDATE:
I tried loading the website on 2 different macs running mountain lions with Firefox, Chrome and Safari and they both look incorrect (example: see attached file). However, running it on a mac running Marvick and windows laptop look ok.

Hi Sanjit,
I tested it on 2 macs running: macos 10.8.4 running chrome: version 33.0.1750.15; firefox 27.0.1; safari version 6.0.5
I am suspecting that this only happens to 10.8.4? I tried it on machines that's running windows and macos 10.6.x, and 10.9.x and they look fine.
Thanks for checking.

I surely would like to be able to 'sort by name' feature in my bookmarks like I do on the desktop version.

In the desktop version of the firefox 'release' channel browser, you can simply choose a group of saved bookmarks, and then choose the 'sort by name' option to sort your bookmarks. I've installed the latest firefox mobile version on my lenovo ideatab A2109A tablet, and that feature doesn't exist. At this point in time there isn't even any addon available to use either. I surely enjoy using firefox on my windows computer's, and I DO realize that android is different from windows, but I would hope that someday in the near future..this 'important' feature can be added. In both the 'stock' android browser, boat browser, and also google chrome browser, this feature has already been implemented.
Thanks,
David

Hi again David, I forgot to mention there is an option to provide feedback comments at http://input.mozilla.org/feedback
It is a rational question.
I do not know the answer but comparing the size and complexity of desktop versions of Firefox with Mobile I surmise it is one or all of:
# hardware limitations: cpu & probably most importantly RAM. On a mobile RAM is used for the static files that would reside on a hdd plus any cache, in addition to what normally has to be in RAM.
#development time & resources, this is a fairly new product
#need for compatibility on lower spec devices
You may also note there is a '''''Firefox OS''''' in development/rollout https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/partners/
We try not to have off topic conversations on the forum because as an open and Search Engine indexed forum any discussion attracts further posts.

Over the past several weeks while browsing Firefox i got a re-direct to a window similar to a Google search not a re-direct to a particular site. I would just arrow back and keep going until it would repeat.

I don't know what version of Firefox I was using. I think it was 4.0 I have just downloaded the newest version 4.0.1 and will see if this continues or has been fixed. It has never done this while browsing with I. Explorer so I assume it to be a browser issue. One of the blogs I read said it was a Firefox issue.
The re-direct would occur usually right after I landed at a new web site or it might occur after I started browsing the site. I don't think it is a virus issue. I use Vipre home edition. The page looked just like a search listing window just like you would get in Google after searching for a subject. I would just arrow back to the site I was at and start again. Sometimes I would have to repeat this several times until it went to the correct site. Any ideas?

Some users have reported no battery problems after the upgrade. Others have improved performance after upgrading to 5.0.1 from 5.0. YMMV.
Many of the posts offer suggestions about changing various settings - there are many that affect the battery life.
Once you upgrade the iOS on a device, you cannot go back to a previous version.
