FireFox keyboard shortcuts - how to use old, traditional scheme?

I still have no idea why did FF team decided to touch keyboard patterns:
- It is not design/features/etc. Eyes can adapt to anything, indeed, no problem
but
- This is in the essence how your fingers use software, that's a physical world. Hands definitely are MUCH more sensitive.
I would like to note that I have all three (IE, Chrome, FF) browsers installed, I used FF last few years, but a few months (or half a year?) ago they made that radical update which touched not eyes/brains, but hands. And that's a mess:
- Home and End keys simply are not used now in FF :-/ (and earlier it was used for scrolling page in current tab)
- PgDw and PgUp keys are used for going forward/back (!) in your tab
- to switch tabs to the right you have to use Ctrl+Tab, and for back Ctrl+Shift+Tab
etc.
etc.
To say that I was disappointed is to say nothing. I tried, week or so, to adapt to new tradition of keyboard use in FF, but I miserably failed. Then, ** for some other reason ** I ran Chrome. And since then I am Chrommed....
- PageUp and PageDown keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Home and End keys do work in Chrome for scrolling page
- Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn - you switch tabs
People like me do NOT switch to Mac because (I work mostly in MS Office) there a bit different (really minor) keyboard shortcuts etc. etc.
I am stuck. Or they are some kind of Linux or whatever guys... And I even don't know how to give them feedback, and how to show them that there MANY people like me - we love FF but your change of keyboard shortcuts touched not brain/eyes, but our hands.

    How to use old nano ipod with new computer

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

    I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
    Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

    I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
    The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
    The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
    Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.

  • How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

    Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
    The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
    Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

    Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

  • How to use old archieve logs with a new control file

    Environment:
    ORACLE_BASE="/export/home/oracle"
    ORACLE_HOME="/export/home/oracle/product/8.1.6"
    NLS_LANG=".UTF8"
    2 partitions:
    i) /data1 -- contains important datafiles (OS striping on 3 hard
    disks)
    ii) /export/home -- contains the oracle program, and SYS/SYSTEM
    datafiles
    Problem:
    -/data1 cannot be read/mount (damaged)
    -oracle failed
    Action Performed:
    -reinstalled OS
    -mount /export/home successfully (all oracle system files,
    instance init files exist)
    -/data1 is an empty partition
    -created the oracle user, and its groups
    -chown recusively for the $ORACLE_BASE directory
    -set all the oracle environment variables
    -attempted to start the instance, but failed due to a control
    file was
    missing
    -since control files were set to be mirrored, i copied a control
    file somewhere
    from /export/home/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control1.ctl to
    /data1/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control2.ctl (i.e. have them back to
    their original locations)
    -the instance failed to start as well, since the datafile set in
    the control files couldn't be found
    -this forced me to re-create the control file... b4 i re-create
    a new control file, i backed up the old one
    -once the control file was created, the database can be started,
    but, to oracle, all achieve log information are lost (although
    the achieve log's physical files r still there)
    -i imported the important data from a dump file that was
    exported a week ago b4 the system failure
    -since we r using the new control file, the redo logs switch
    contains no achieve log information that the old control file
    has, so running "recover database" doesn't do anything
    Purpose:
    since the dump file is a week old, i'd like to get the data
    after my last export and b4 the system failure. the database was
    run in arhieve log mode, how can i recover those data with the
    new control file
    Question:
    -how can we create a new control file that can drive the old
    achieve logs?
    -can we convert the achieve log data (.dbf format) into text
    format?
    -can we still use the old control files to start the database?
    -what's a suggested solution if we'd like to re-construct the
    database up to the moment b4 the system failure in another
    server?
    thx

    I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
    We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
    We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
    I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
    We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
    What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
    Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
    Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
    Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

  • Language Keyboard Shortcuts how?

    Hi, I am using Mac OSx Tiger and I do not know how to switch the language with a simple press of some buttons. Can someone please show me how to do this? Thanks in advance.

    The default is Cmd-Space, but since this is the same default as Spotlight, you may need to activate and change the shortcuts for either Input Menu or Spotlight in SystemPreferences>Keyboard&Mouse>KeyboardShortcuts.

  • New Firewire 800 External Hard Drive and how to use old External USB Drive

    Hi All,
    I have a new LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk hard drive 500 GB - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-Speed USB / eSATA-300 on the way, when it arrives I plan to use it as my Time Machine Backup drive with the FireWire 800 connection. I am currently using a Seagate Free Agent USB 2.0 320 GB external drive as my Time Machine disk. The reason for upgrading is the USB drive is slow slow slow! I am not concerned about the data on my old drive and will just wipe it clean using Disk Utility. What I would like to do is use the old drive to archive iTunes 7.7.1 and Aperture 2.0 music and photographs. Can someone give me an idea how to go about doing this?
    Thanks!

    Hi, yes that will copy the whole iTunes..including everything in iTunes..BUT, as you add to your iTunes on the Main HD, with the ext HD I think you will have to manually update anything added. Or dragNdrop the whole thing again.. You could also locate you iTunes music Library & just copy that across..With images once again find your iPhoto library & just copy that across..L

  • How to use old Time Capsule als external disk

    I just bought a new 3TB TC. I want to use the old one as an external disk and I also have some files on there I want to use. the new 3TBTC connected nicely, but the old TC on ethernet cable is not recognized by Mac Pro.
    How do i connect the old TC to Mac Pro to use as occasional external disk?
    thanx
    Frank

    Factory reset the old TC.. plug it by ethernet into the network.. straight into the new TC is the obvious place.
    The Mac should then be able to find it.. if not I can suggest how to do it manually in full isolation from the network.
    Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs

    I saw an old post that said: "Does original iPhone work without phone service -- Yes, but you won't be able to install future firmware updates or restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed.. Both require the iPhone being activated." 
    Not knowing this limitation, we did a full restore/reset on an old 1st gen iphone, so is there anyway to get it working like an ipod.  Per above, I get a screen asking me to activate.
    AT&T even obliged me by allowing this phone to be reactivated (for a few days) and gave me a new sim card to put in the phone, but it wouldn't reactivate probably since it's so old:  AT&T didn't know what to do and Apple wouldn't deal with a product out of warranty.
    So now phone is not activated and am basically locked out from using as ipod.

  • How to use old library with new computer?

    Hello,
    I keep all my music on an external HD. Recently, my main computer died, so I had to start using another iMac. It's running Tiger and iTunes 6, but I have never used the iTunes before. How do I get this computer to "see" my old iTunes library (on the external)?

    You are welcome. One thing that comes to mind is that I believe when you use an external drive to hold your library, it is important that the external is on and mounted when ever you start up iTunes. My understanding is if you start iTunes and the external drive is not available, then iTunes reverts back to the default location on your internal. You then have to reset it back to the external, but I think you also have to re-add everything all over again.
    So be sure you always have the external up and ready whenever you open iTunes.

  • How to use old 1st gen iPhone as iPod after deactivated?

    I just got a new iPhone 4S and gave my first generation iPhone to my kid to use as an iPod. I transferred the phone number so now the new iPhone works as my phone and the old iphone did not connect to AT&T but did work as an iPod (or through wireless). Rather than just sync'ing to his computer, he erased the iPhone somehow while it was not connected to a computer. This apparently erased everything including activation. Now when he hooks up to iTunes on a Mac or PC, he automatically goes to iTunes Store and gets a page asking for him to activate. The iphone has multiple languages on the screen and window for making emergency call so it looks like he wiped the old iphone "clean". From reading discussions, my impression is that iPhone needs to be activated before you can use even as an iPod.  So my question is how can I get this old iPhone to work as an iPod?
    I do have Time Machine backups of my Mac from when the old iphone was activated and connected to AT&T.   Is there some way to use this to restore iphone to the way it was before the above?
    I suppose the other option would be to do some kind of jail-break fix?
    thanks

  • How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

    My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire).  Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need?  Thank you very much for your help.

    To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop.  Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ?
