Firefox 28.0. Woke up to laptop totally changed from desktop to font sizes.

Firefox wiped out -- no history, bookmarks, etc. Trying to reset it all.
1. Upper left corner, next to icon, page name is too small to read (desktop toolbar on ottom is the same)
2. Bookmarks below address bar are too close together. See below. How to fix
gMail Firefox Google
Thank you

It was a fresh boot as I shut it down daily. I'm not on my Win laptop but am on iPad. Tomorrow I'll do a screenshot and post it.
I did a Windows update Thursday and today was the first use since then. Every setting is different from desktop photo, font sizes, wipeout of Firefox, to all icons but ten gone. About twenty disappeared. Still have a ton of programs to run and check.
I've never had this happen and I began with a Windows 3.01 back in the eighties or early nineties. If Windows was corrupted, why would Firefox change settings? I didn't upgrade it ; still on. 28.0

Hp officejet 4500 wireless won't print from laptop. It is connected to laptop.It prints from desktop

We have a HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer which was first installed in 2011 without any problems. We also utilize a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (not wireless) with our network. I cannot print from my laptop to either printer, but hubby's desktop has no problem. Both printers stopped working for my laptop at the same time. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I could no longer print directly from my Dell Inspiron laptop. When I check on the connectivity of both printers to my laptop, the information tells me the printers are connected to my laptop.
My husband has a Dell desktop (our main computer).
I have tried everything I know to fix this problem, including shutting down the desktop, my laptop, the router, and the printers (including disconnecting the printers from the desktop with the cords that connect to the printers). I have followed all instructions on how to restart the entire system...plug the router in, plug in the printers & turn them on, and lastly restart both computers.
I am not what one would call "computer savvy"; as a matter of fact, I am quite computer-challenged. If any of you can tell me in extremely-easy-to-understand language what to do, I would appreciate your help.

Hi,
Pleae download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor utility which should resolve most of printing issues.

Doing catalog work on laptop when away from desktop computer

I just recently moved from doing all my work on a single machine (laptop, MacBook Pro) connected to a 5 bay external hard drive to using 2 machines, a desktop (Mac Pro) hooked up to the 5 bay eternal HD and the laptop.
My set up - Desktop running Snow Leopard, Laptop Leopard. They are networked with an Airport Extreme. I log into the Desktop from the laptop rather than use File Sharing.
I'm still using Lightroom 2.7, single license, so I wouldn't have LR running on both machines at the same time. Catalog is stored on the Desktops internal HD - User/Pictures/Lightroom/Catalog. I use a single catalog, 30,000+ images. Catalog is approx 550MB.
I've got it pretty well figured out how to export a catalog from the laptop to the desktop after returning with images from a shoot, but, while I work a lot at my desk on the desktop, I want to be able to work on my catalog with my laptop. Hoping for some advise on how to do that. I'm looking to only do catalog type work on the laptop - evaluating, rating, deleting, keywording etc. I will not be doing any Developing or working on the actual image files, which are stored on the external 5 bay HD connected to the Desktop.
2 situations:
1. When I'm in another part of my space with my laptop and connected to my desktop (wireless), I go to the catalog located on the Desktop, I get a msg that Lightroom catalogs cannot be opened on network volumes. So how do I simply work on my LR catalog, using the laptop, when I'm networked to the Desktop?
2. When I'm away from my space, traveling etc, so not networked to the desktop. In this case I assume I would want to Export a copy of the catalog onto the laptop or a small portable HD and work on it while I'm away. But when I return, should I then Export the whole catalog back to the Desktop, or is there a Synchronize type function where LR updates the changes only? Is there a safe way to do this that minimizes the risk of introducing errors if the whole master catalog is moved back and forth? Should I break up my single large catalog in to smaller bite sized chunks that would be easier to move back and forth?
Thanks for any advise. If this is easier to accomplish on LR 3, that would be a good reason to upgrade.

My master catalogs are heftier than I want to clone all over the place so I use the following method.
In LR, put the files you want to work on in a subfolder of your Primary catalog
Export Folder As Catalog with previews, but without including the DNG's
At your new location/machine work on that catalog.
Here's the part that's no fun, (obviously have a backup of your catalog before you do this)
In your primary catalog REMOVE that folder from your catalog. (this will remove all references within your catalog, but leave the RAW files alone where they were)
You then FILE-->IMPORT FROM ANOTHER CATALOG, and import your subfolder export back into your Primary catalog.
It'll bring all of your changes and previews back into your Primary catalog but with unlinked RAW files.
Click on the question mark in the corner of the thumbnail that's telling you it doesn't know where the source files are and LOCATE the original file again in your file structure, with the FIND NEARBY MISSING PHOTOS box checked.
Overly complicated for what it is, but it gets the job done.

How do I move Firefox from my laptop screen to my desktop monitor

My IMac laptop was disconnected from my desktop monitor during a session using Firefox. When the laptop was later reconnected to the desktop monitor, the Firefox window continued to appear on laptop screen and not the desktop monitor screen even though the Firefox icon and toolbar shows on the desktop screen. This problem only affects Firefox and not Safari.

Install Zune on the laptop if it's a Windows PC or use the Windows Phone Connector on Mac. For Zune see the support page for more information. You can also copy your pictures to SkyDrive and from there access them on the Phone.

I have just donwloaded Firefox 5 to my Sony Vaio laptop and it keeps opening three tabs, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it happened again, how do I remove the two surplus tabs?

I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

You can do this manually by copying the relevant files and folders, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[backing up your information]].
A couple of other options are the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy the profile (location where user data is stored), or the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I may install on my main computer? In tools the only sync option is "sync now."

Question
I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I may install on my main computer? In tools the only sync option is "sync now."

It won't let me install it on the other computer as a new account, saying that my address is already in use (on the small one) -- that is the crux of the problem.
When I try to set it up as a not-new account (clicking that I already have an account), there are different problems.
Am I right in assuming it needs to be installed on the main computer first (so that the smaller one doesn't wipe out the (more extensive) stuff on the main computer as they sync? I would love to be able to uninstall it on the small one, and start from the beginning on the big one.

I cannot get my iMac to connect to my macbook via Thunderbolt to use my laptop as an extended desktop

I am trying to connect my iMac 21.5" desktop to my macbook pro via Thunderbolt cable so that I can use my laptop as an extended desktop. I have tried using detect displays to get it to show up and nothing happens. I've tried doing command + F2 to make it a targeted display, but the only thing I can get to happen is my iMac will mirror my Macbook and that's not what I want. No matter what I have tried it hasn't worked. I have tried turning both computers off and I have a brand new thunderbolt cable. I've updated all the software. Is there anything else I'm missing??
I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
Thank you !

We've already done all of that. And we used the same thunderbolt cable to connect two iMac's and that worked totally fine doing the Command+ F2. I don't understand why we can't get the macbook to do the same.

Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

I don't want Firefox to "remember" the folders I've saved in from websites before. How do I return Firefox to its old image saving habits?

I recently got a new computer and upgraded to Firefox 8. Now, when I save an image from a website, Firefox will "remember" and, the next time I save an image, open a random folder that I saved an image in last time I was on that site, and choose to save it there. This wouldn't be a problem if, 1) it wasn't a random folder out of the several I save into, and 2), if I have to cancel out of an image for any reason, the next time I go to save (seconds later, without refreshing/leaving a page), it will have chosen another random folder for me to save in and I'm misplacing my files.
I'd like to return Firefox to the previous image saving habits, where I have to choose the folder each time, and it doesn't "remember" anything that I've done, as it is only causing headaches.

I have been frustrated by the same aggravating Firefox 8 "improvement".
I have several hard drives, several partitions on each hard drive, hundreds of folders on in each partition, and hundreds of subfolders below them. When I am researching something, I download whole Web pages, PDFs, JPEGs, FLVs, and many other files from all over the Web. It is totally frustrating to be taken to different drives all over my computer each time I want to download a new file to the same folder I jut downloaded to. I have to drill up and down drives and folders to get back to where I was.
In previous versions of Firefox, Save As opened in the last folder I saved to, and all I had to do was create a file name and hit Save. In Firefox 8 I am taken to some totally unrelated subfolder on some totally unrelated drive. The folder in which I last downloaded a file from Wikipedia, Fox News, BBC , Flicker, or any other URL usually has absolutely nothing to do with what I am presently researching.
Why would anyone want to make the default download be the desktop? Total clutter and confusion. All I want Firefox to do when I hit the Save As button is to open the same folder I last downloaded '''''anything''''' to irregardless of the URL.
Is there some way via modifying the about:config file that I can change this behavior of Firefox 8?

Laptop migration? From MSI Neo2 Platinum to ???

Hello folks. Long time no post. Although I have not been using my PC for heavy gaming or other intensive uses, no overclocking etc, so perhaps my feedback is not descriptive of anything out of the ordinary, in fact, less than ordinary, my setup has non-the-less performed nearly perfectly. I suspect it has been largely due to MS XP Pro. I did use an ATI 9700 Pro which I upgraded to an ATI 9800 Pro, but now I am back using a Geforce2 GTS AGP card simply because I play zero games.
Even though this PC works well, I often wonder if I could migrate to a laptop for various reasons. I would not be tied to a single desk. I could use a laptop in my bedroom, home office (if I keep one) living room, kitchen, away at work, train and bus, at conferences etc etc. The trouble is, now that I have this PC up and working great, I find it hard to swallow the idea of migrating to a laptop which will un-doubtabley be slower. Even a notebook with a Pentium M 1.86 ghz or higher, or an AMD64 mobile turion will be slower because the hard drives are limited to 4200 or 5400 rpm. I do not do intensive gaming or heavy apps now, but I do not want to rule them out. Digital video editing, graphic design, photo editiing, multi-tasking etc
In view of what my PC is now, and what a laptop can give me, what can I look at? Is it worth it? If I migrate, I don't want to spend any more than $1500 CDN after taxes, which works out to around $1299 CDN. I could keep my desktop PC, but that is quite costly and I already spend a bit much on stuff, so it would seem almost like wasteful duplication.
My minimum requirements for a notebook would be:
1.73 ghz Pentium M CPU
512 MB DDR (prefer 1GB but can upgrade later)
80 GB HDD (preferabley 100 GB 5400 rpm)
dual-layer DVD burner (LG or similar with DVD ram would be nice)
15.4" widescreen
So has anybody with a PC like mine migrated to a laptop/notebook...and if so, how are you finding it?
Any suggestions for which PC would suit my needs of displacing my desktop? (desktop specs are in my signature of course)
thanx in advance for any feedback,

The small size comes at a cost. But means you can take your self moblie and still have computing power
As for the speed of drives It can effect a few things.
I wanted to see how good the transfer rates were on my caddy: "300GB Diamondmax 10" 4.5 GB music (MP3) + 4.5 GB BF1942 and a few mod's. Total 9GB of of mixed file sizes. I ran the first tests with a BATCH file and left it running for 3 hours.
The Mp3 took on AVE: 7 min, BF1942 on AVE: 6.5 min. To a USB2 PC (2400XP, 512DDR, 17GB seagate ATA66)
But to the labtop Mp3 AVE 25min, BF1942 AVE 25 min. On firewire or USB2. (P4 1.5 Ghz, 512DDR, 60GB HD- 4200 RPM) Off the top of my head the spec's mite have been a bit different but I know the drive was 4200 RPM (Friends labtop from over 1 year ago) Also the update oif info, movement, access time of folders from the caddy was poor when connected to the Labtop. This did not happen as bad on the USB 1 PC or other rig I've tried it with. And I've test it on a few Rigs.
USB 1 Mp3: 70 min+ (I stoped after 5 min I'am not waiting that long)
I must say after all that the caddy held out well for heat

Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

How can I effectively enlarge font size in Firefox?

My laptop resolution is 1900x1200 so the default font size is very small.
I tried to increase the font size through Preferences>Content>Default font BUT it doesn't work well with a lot of sites.
It corrupts the layouts so I had to change it back to default.
Then, I used Ctrl+- for zoom feature but that ruins the quality of images in website, and once you restart the zoom is gone.
So, is there anyway around this?

You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
