Does firefox give a damn about what users want?

Once upon a time, upgrading ff used to be a joy, Because you would get exciting new features and most addons would still work. But since the advent of this rapid relaease cycle thingi, its like ff does not support addon use anymore.(80% of usefull addons break).
In view of the fact that mozilla got us dependent on addons and now are trying as hard as they can to kill the addons, are they sensitive to user's desires and are there plans to stop this

Does Oracle give a damn about the Linux comunity?

I am the technical lead on a research project that will lead to a major
implimentation in the short term future. I pushed for Oracle since it
gives the best combination of performance, reliability, features and I
thought platform options. Linux is what our developers use as our
standard workstations. We do have a few holdouts still running Windows
but not many. We have had no problem obtaining client libs and Unix
ODBC drivers for Postgress, Sybase, MySQL and amazingly enough
even MS SQL Server. Oracle defies us. We have had to purchase
3rd party drivers to access Oracle DBs through Cold Fusion and PHP.
Now we cannot even aquire a simple SQL client so that we can create
and edit our schema's. A client readily availible in windows. I am
baffled. The client software exists, but only as part of a huge download.
To split it off to a seperate download would be trivial.
A simple fact in IT is that people tend to use what they are comfortable
with. That is why you see so many Access databases out there being
used for things Access should have NEVER been considered for. If you
make it too difficult to prototype in Oracle why are people going to
impliment in it? We have a liscenced copy of Oracle. Some basic VERY
basic support given to other platforms by Oracle and offered freely by
just about any other database out there would be a really nice sign from
Oracle that they don't consider the Linux comunity with hostility.
In other words I think it is imperitive for Oracle to provide some basic
ODBC drivers (reguardless of platform, for Oracle 7 under windows
we had to purchase 3rd party ODBC drivers since those provided were
so buggy as to be unusable.) SQL Clients and a little bit of documentation
on how to setup and configure them. Of the thousands of dollars probably
going to run into millions that this project is likely to send to Oracle I don't
think it is asking much to ask for these simple things to make it POSSIBLE
to use their product.
Writing our own SQL client and or downloading the entire Oracle demo
to aquire a client which may or may not continue to work after expiration.
Then having to visit machines scattered accross 3 square miles of compound.
Getting security clearence to get INTO those buildings. It's just running me
out of time and eating away at the funding for the project. If I had a simple
tarball or rpm then I could ssh into the machines that need the product,
install it and be done with it. If I had drivers that didn't steal from the projects
funding we would have happier clients. We are going head to head against
another group that has chosen MS SQL Server as thier backend and if thier
product reachs deployment before ours it will likely mean that what is used
from our project will be ported to MS SQL Server. I'd prefer that did not
happen. I am VERY frustrated however with the lack of response from Oracle.
I've left a couple messages in the forum, asked one of thier consultants
who was onsite. Generated several emails. No response. Because we
are "Linux" users I guess that means we should be able to decompile thier
installation scripts, pick out all of the dependancies for thier SQL client
and generate our own installation then debug it. It'd be nice if I had that
much time and confidence in the demo version that it won't time out and
stop the SQL Client. It'd be nice if an Oracle rep would even send me a
list of files needed for SQL + to install.
To let me know whether the SQL plus included with Oracles
demo code would continue to run after the 90 days or whatever the expiration
date is on thier demo package.
As an interm step we've ported the schema to Postgress and MySQL and
are doing development on those DBs since we can actully TALK to them.
I am very frustrated with Oracle right now. I know the companies goal
is to absorb us and we in a very M$ mannor use all Oracle products.
Simple fact is that won't happen. Oracle in my opinion makes not only
the best DB out there, Oracle has lead the market by creating most of
the major inovations in DBs. Oracle does data like no other. I'd like to
continue using Oracle. I'd like Oracle to pay a little attention and provide
the kinds of things their competitors provide. If this is the kind of service
we get when there is compitition what will happen if there were none?
Come on, providing ODBC, JDBC drivers and a SQL Client is not asking
for much!
I'd LOVE to hear someone from Oracle respond to this. I can be reached
by email at [email protected]

Well first of all if you go out to metalink and look under product lifestyle you will find a chart that tells you what platforms are certified. If you go out there today you will see oracle 9i is certified for red hat 7.1 but withdrawn for 7.0. 8.1.7 is certified for red hat 7.1 all the way down to 6.0. As for any Oracle version lower then that why would they certify it since they aren't completly supporting 8.1.6 and below any more. There is also a chart out there as to what is being supported regarding the oracle versions and and what type of support is available. As for downloading just the sql client. I have no trouble downloading the client for most platforms. I haven't tried to down load it for linux, but I use linux for the server not the client. Also you must realize that the version out there to be downloaded is the very latest and could be riddled with bugs. As I have found in the past. Next you mention that you are the lead in a research project for the short term future and that oracle should be making oracle 7 work with linux. Are you crazy? Oracle 7 is 5-7 years old, it is old and outdated, the only reason oracle extened service on that version is because some of the os's like hp-unix stated they will support their os's that run it for 1-2 more years so oracle matched it. They aren't solving any more bugs with oracle 7, so why in the world would they certify new platforms for a version they no longer support? Also if you are developing something new why would you not use the latest and greatest of all the apps you plan on using? I've been trying for 2 years for my company to get off of oracle 7 and from your email it seems that you are starting your company off using oracle with a version that is no longer supported. As for downloading a demo, I think you are just on the wrong part of the website because I've downloaded the server and client before when moving to linux from hp-unix and didn't have any problems with download. Now there were many days where the website was down, but I've gotten useto some parts of oracle's websites being down.

DDo you give a damn about problems with Firefox?

With my last Mac I found that after using it a while the display would not change and I would have to go over the page with my cursor to get the new page. I was told this was a software problem which I did not believe and I bought a new iMac. The problem disappeared. When I installed Firefox 4.0b7 the problem came back but only with Firefox itself, i.e. not with any other application or with the finder. Is there something wrong with Firefox 4.0b7???
Thanks for any info,
Steve

Why does firefox give an update an then not allow it to install

A new update or add-on called screen shot so i installed then it said "firefox has blocked this" and had the "allow" button; my question is why do they give you an up date or add on and then don't allow it?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked install updates

Not cool. I actually liked Firefox until this kind of thing started. Seems like they're going the way of Microsoft and trying to ram updates down your throat whether you like it or not. I thought Mozilla was all about giving the user a lot of control over Firefox???... Not everyone has unlimited bandwidth to waste, and not everyone wants the updates.
Not cool Mozilla, not cool.
Is there any official suggestion/comment box where I can express my discontent of this function?

Why does Firefox 33.1.1 require a User Account Control dialog before loading?

I am unable to stop FF from requiring the User Account Control dialog box before it will load. I uninstalled and reinstalled a clean copy, which worked the first time, and then re-established the UAC dialog on subsequent starts. This is incredibly annoying. It has never happened before with FF. How do I stop this behavior? I will stop using the damn program if this can't be fixed.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Why does firefox give out the wrong address for me, it usually says I'm around LA, I live in Hemet

I've noticed some web sites show my address around LA or up in northern Ca.. I live in Hemet, Ca. I cannot find anywhere where it is not my real address. This is getting very frustrating, when I want to look in my area for deals and it asks if I want to show my location, I say yes and it shows a map of usually around LA somewhere. Today I called a place I ordered something from and they said I ordered it in Pleasanton (where ever that is) How does that work. I've had this problem on another site. When it asks do I want to show my location it shows cities around LA. I'm in the same place for the last 4 years. Please help me. Where is it that it;s getting this info? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sam Scarcello

This is not a Firefox settings, but rather one of these two things:
*Your DNS settings on your computer are configured to show you in LA
*Your router is setup with the incorrect area
In either case, please contact a local IT technician.

Does Firefox Mobile on Android allow the user to be able to view a Java streamed Webcam?

I tested the new Evo Shift at the Sprint store and brought up a webcam from the dog daycare center that would not appear on the phone. I was told that you couldn't do this on Android, I wanted to know if viewing the webcam is possible with Firefox Mobile?

Sorry, Firefox for Android is not be able to display pages that require the Java browser plug-in.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what genealogy software is best? I have a Mac Pro

I am working on researching and documenting my family tree. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best software to use on my Mac Pro?

Check the App Store, the online & your local AS as well as MacUpdate & Mac resellers. Google search also.

Why does Firefox give me warnings on certain websited that the connection is untrusted, because the certificate has expired?

This happens on mozilla.com too, so it's a tad strange. Other major sites ask me to confirm an exception. Sites like softpedia, microsoft etc.

If that happens again, and you are using a desktop PC, the little "coin" battery on the motherboard is probably on its' last legs and needs to be replaced.

I was given a gift of an iPhone 5s in Saudi Arabia. I took it to Verizon who said they could not hook up the phone. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do with the phone? It is new and unopened

I was gifted an I phone 5s in Saudi Arabia. Took it to the Verizon store. The sales rep told me I could not use it. Any suggestions?

If it's a legitimately unlocked iPhone, you can use it on AT&T or T-Mobile if you like. You can not bring your own iPhone to any CDMA carrier (Verizon, Sprint, etc).
If it was originally sold in the Middle East, Facetime is permanently disabled.

What bookmarks does the firefox give you when you download firefox?

I am not sure how but all of my mozilla firefox bookmarks were erased. I do not know if I will ever need them but I would like to put them back in case I do. Thanks

Hi Dennis,
Firefox does not really include much in the way of bookmarks when you initially download it.
*What did you have a set of bookmarks on another version of Firefox ?
*and was that on the same or a different computer ?
* Presumably these were bookmarks that you saved yourself ?
If you have been using Firefox for a while or have imported bookmarks from some other browser then you will have a collection of bookmarks, that Firefox stores in a folder and set of files called the profile.
If you update Firefox. Or if you uninstall it (without explicitly deleting the profile) and reinstall again Firefox looks for and trys to provide the previous bookmarks and history.
What has happened have you reinstalled Firefox on a new computer ? <br> if so see
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Otherwise maybe these are appropriate
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
* [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
If you try to provide a bit more information about what happened maybe I will be able to give better advice. I am not sure at the moment exactly what your situation is ragarding any previous bookmarks.

Someone please guide me through this! Thanks in advance!

Did this ever get resolved, as I am having the same issue. Trying to learn LR5 AFTER a decade using Aperture. I was able to set up a validated account but when I try to send an e-mail or photo I get the simple " Failed to Send " message. Using latest version of Mac OS X.

Are you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well.
