Firefox versions change too fast.

Some development-tools refer to HTML/CSS features that work in certain version, but with 1 major-verions per 6 weeks we are at version 16 in one year.
No tool will provide glue what CSS level can be expected to work in which version.
For example "WeBuilder" assigns for CSS properties whether
it works with
CSS2 Css3 IE6 IE7 IE8 IE9 FF3 FF4
They will NOT maintain a list with 9 Version for FF per year !
Please use major version changes for major changes, but
not as rollout counter.

Firefox - Gif animations too fast

I've noticed that gifs "play" faster on Linux than on Windows, is there any reason for this and is there any way to change it back to normal speed?
I've googled it, but maybe I'm just not using the right search terms.
Arch64, Firefox 3.6 (newest) etc.
Let me know if I need to give more info, thanks.

Filename variable changes too fast

This problem is hard to explain so please bare with me.
My app is a file downloader.
I loop through a list of filenames and call my download function on each one.
Once the download function has been called on item[i], the loop carries on and calls the download function on item[i+1], item[i+2] etc resulting in a queue situation.
However this means that by the time the first file is being written to disk, the filename getter has already looped through and is on the final file name in the list.
This results in all files except the last being overwritten, and thus only the final file is saved to disk.
Basically what i need is a way to pause the for loop (i know this sound silly) until the download functions are complete, but i can't find a way to add a listener to a function. Do i need to bring all these functions into one perhaps?
Its a lot of code to post so here's a quick layout of how it currently downloads files.
function downloadButtonClickHandler{
     for each item in list {
          downloadHTTPService.send(item.fileName)
function downloadHTTPServiceresult {
     downloadFile(URL)
function downloadFile(URL){
     //download logic, obviously a delay here
     getFileName()
     writeFile()
function getFileName{
     returns filename
function writeFile(){
     //write logic
     resolve path "/foldera/folderb/"+ downloadFileName
So by the time writeFile is called downloadFileName has already changed value. e.g file1, file2, file3 so when the first file is written to disk the name file 3 is used, and the the same happens for the rest of the files so essentially i am getting 3 files all named the same thing.
Thanks for reading, i really appreciate any advice.

In recursive function you call the function from within function itself. That allows you to create loop where you can trigger iterations explicitly.
In your case, actually, it doesn't need necessarily to be recursive function.
Looking at your code I'd suggest to set the logic in your writeFile() in the way that the getFileName() is called only upon completion of the writing the file.

Bookmarks - Hate the firefox version. Double click on the site to bookmark and the book it too small. And when in the bookmark window on the right side of the screen there is no way to know which folder you are actually in. Help.

Bookmarks - Hate the firefox version. Double click on star in the address window to bookmark the site and the pop-up window is too small and user unfriendly. And when in the bookmark window and have bookmarks on the right side of the screen there is no way to know which folder on the left you are actually in. Is there any way to upgrade the bookmarks feature. So frustrating I might actually go back to IE because of this. Thanks.

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

Just updated Firefox, not sidebar scrolls too fast.

I just updated Firefox. Now when I hold down the vertical scrolling arrow at the bottom right of the page it scrolls faster than it used to. It's too fast. How do I slow this down?

There are extensions that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

Why does firefox keep changing things up with new versions?

It really bothers me that Firefox keeps changing things, namely the user interface with new versions. They move buttons around like the back / forward, and refresh button. If I don't have the latest version I get prompted to download it each time I open my web browser. Now with this latest update I got a good inch and a half at the top of my screen that should be gray but is transparent and shows my desktop background. Also, I like to right click and 'open link in new' tab a lot, I thought it used to be 'open link in new window' first than 'open link in new tab' second. They switched them around now I'm opening new windows instead of tabs from clicking the second option by habit. Its not that big of a deal but why keep changing it up when I'm comfortable with what I know.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
* [[Mouse shortcuts]]
* [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I ran Advance System Care 3 Disk Optimizer program and now my drop down menus are too fast. How do I slow them down

I ran Advanced System Care3 disk optimizer program on my computer and now the drop down menus in Firefox open too fast. Mostly in the Bookmarks menu with nested folders. I went into the registry and changed all the "MenuShowDelay" data values back to 400(which were changed to 200 by the program. All the other windows programs drop down menus went back to the original speeds and are fine. Firefox did not change back to it's original delay speed. Where is the registry entry or configuration file for Firefox? How can I slow the menu down?
Thanks,

Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

Hello Everyone,
Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"
This error drives my crazy I changed to slim after the recent change of gdm.
Since I changed, when I boot my PC this error always occurs. Only solution so far is either to wait for 5 minutes or to change to another TTY#, login and try init 3 and then init 5 (which only works sometimes but most of the time delivers the same error).
The error doesn't occur when I REboot the PC.
I start slim via inittab with "x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
I already tried the German Arch-Forum but got no reply.
There is a topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81159 with the "solution" to change inittab
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
to
"x:5:once:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
but this doesn't work for me, slim then refuses completly to start.
I'd prefer to use the inittab method and not the daemon method...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
"generally" X seems to work fine. I use Openbox without any problems. If I try /usr/bin/slim from init 3 it says: "Stale lockfile found, removing it" and then nothing happens - the console just stays on.
I haven't changed my Xorg for ages, I still use the same X configuration (besides updates) that I had years ago with kdm and then with gdm. Even when I switched from gdm to slim I just follwed to wiki and changed the Inittab line from gdm to slim.
Heres my Inittab and my Xorg.conf (to be honest I'm not really fit with Xorg configuration...)
To be sure, I just created a (very basic) new Xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig.

EDIT: It seems to work now! Slim started without any errors. I will test that for some days to see if the problem is really gone now.
Just out of curiosity:
A lot seems to have changed in Xorg.conf since my old ~2years old config was made.
I had to turnoff boot logo manually and set Option "Composite" "Enable" but now everything seems to work by default?
Do you see any flaws in my xorg.conf? Any ideas for improvements (except metamodes)?
