Ever since FF Ver 3.6x you folks have been ripping thru version numbers like rabbits running from a forest fire. What gives? (Only real answers are appreciated.- Marketing crap will be ignored and cause downgrades to your rep.)
It's self explanatory.
The answer is.....
Add-ons will ALWAYS be a problem unless you are a developer. I do a lot of
Drupal work and they have modules, which are also contributed by the masses. When Drupal makes changes to the API and core files, the contributors have to update their modules. If FF continues this speed it will be impossible for people (who are working for free) to continue to keep up. They will stop updating except for every 5 versions.
Take me for example, I tried Aurora but there is no Firebug. Can't use Aurora with no Firebug. I'm sure that's one that will get updated, but until that happens I will uninstall Aurora.
I refuse to update FF3 because no one will update Ubiquity. The single best thing to happen to the internet and Mozilla just drops it. I was hoping eventually they would work the functionality into their browser core but it looks like they never will. Why, when Ubiquity makes being on the internet better, is a mystery. If standard FF came with Ubiquity built in, they would have the single most dominating browser in the world. But they don't care. Awesome bar? What? That is nothing compared to Ubiquity.
So all new versions of FF can shove off because they aren't adding anything new, causing problems for the scores of free laborers, and just trying to impress someone with a high number I guess. Seriously, download FF3.6 and Ubiquity and nothing they offer in recent versions will come close to matching your experience.

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!
Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

The location of Hysham in Apple Maps is off by over 50 miles and has been ever since the advent of the app. I have gone through the motions many times to place the pin the correct location. Unfortunately, no one at Apple seems to care if Hysham, Montana is plotted in the correct location or not. The location displayed in Apple Maps is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. If someone were to rely on Apple Maps to get to Hysham may very well end up marooned in the midst of muddy two track road in the summer or stuck in a snowdrift in the winter with little or no hope of expedient assistance. Other than the reporting feature in Maps, there appears to be no other means to report mistakes and there appears to be no expedient means at Apple to filter through reports and fix the errors. In sum, What do I have to do to get the location of Hysham fixed in Apple Maps? Much thanks!
You have done all that you can. Apple maps depends on 3rd party map data solutions. As problems are reported, they are reported to the data providers. How and when they decide to make changes is up to them.
You can also let Apple know you are disappointed in this via feedback at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. -
Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC). -
I dont recall when I have been more frustrated.... the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless. After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works. On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required. When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not. I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated.... Rich@
When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize. Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available. I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC... I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again.... so frustrating...

Mail Will Not Quit and causes finder to hang.
Yesterday my mail app started to give me the spinning wheel while receiving new mail and will not quit no matter how I try to force quit. This includes forcing a quit through the activity monitor, force quitting through the finder and right clicking > force quit. It has since continued and now in its wake other apps have started to randomly hang as well. Even Thunderbird has done the same thing a couple times. Up to this point I have never had any issues with Mail.
I removed any third party add-ons from the bundles folder and no improvement.
I copied the mail folder to the desktop from user/library/ (Which causes the finder to hang but appears on the desktop once I relaunch the finder. This also happened when I copied the mail preference file to the desktop as well)
What the **** is going on here? Should I be worried about worms at this point? Could one corrupt file affect the system this drastically if it is indeed a corrupted file i received?
Anyone have an idea what might be happening here? I really am trying to avoid reinstalling system software here as I have no idea if re-importing my mail folders will yield the same problem.The new info is really important, and I am glad you reported it. It sounds very much like something corrupted preferences for Mail, but interesting if only one account was lost.
With what you call you secondary account, have there ever been any changes made by the provider, such as a change in server names that you made as an update to account set up info? When that happens the account folder does not get renamed, and when preferences are lost, and you set up as though new, the old account folder is no longer recognized.
Were you using any applications that could have temporarily used nearly all available disk space in some session of work?
I think you need to purge the preferences file for Mail, but we need to know what may be needed to reconnect to both account folders.
Quit Mail, and in the Finder make a Duplicate of the Mail folder that you found in the Home folder, and drag the copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and either delete it or drag it out to be on the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail, and set up your accounts again, and decline to import anything even though prompted, and Mail should if all else is well rediscover both account folders.
Please keep us posted.

Ever since I downloaded IOS 8 my IPad has been slower, stalling and now it completely crashed and I can't turn it on at all! It's the Ipad 2. Is there anyway I can do?
Hey Basketsopugs,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with a third-party application after the iOS 7 update. The following article outlines the best procedure for troubleshooting this issue:

Hello sir Every time I do the process of registration in Mogah Apple Store and the period and the period of the account is lost I do not know what the problem is there are people who enter into my account and change email We ask God to help you have an account I can not restore it the way I do not know where and I do not speak English Aalit Aalit help me I'm in a state of panic for your reply eagerly awaited
This old Emily Hope you reply and help me [email protected]For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.
Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

I am using Firefox Version 17. Previous versions had a triangle on the right end of the toolbar that would show a list of tabs open on the window. I no longer see it.
It was described in the "Help" instructions as follows:
There is a tiny little button, you may have been ignoring. It does something wonderful. It looks like a really small downward triangle. Use that little button to engage the tab list.See also:
