Freecorder autodeleted during FF auto-update, and was not autoupdated

I thought I read that FF new behaviour was to update automatically, frequently, BUT it will ASK YOU FIRST if it finds an existing Addon that would be incompatible & deleted IF one proceeded with the Update.
I use very few Addins. Last week, FF updated without my asking, and DELETED my valuable 'Freecorder 4' without first warning that it will NOT update the Addin at same time as updating FF.
That was very annoying as without notice, I am now without Freecorder. Is that normal ?
Two further questions;
1 I was only seeking a standalone 'Recorder' that Records ALL audio currently playing, and has simple Start/Stop recording, and adjustable bitrate. But 'Freecorder' installs as a browser 'Adding' and inserted an overly large toolbar, which I would rather not have. What I like about Freecorder is it records to MP3 with adjustable bitrates, not wasteful wav, and it makes good recordings, not wasting filespace during silent periods.
Does anyone know if there is a similar free product that doesn't require a browser to launch it ?
2 While googling to see if anyone else had above problem just now, I read an item saying Freecorder was suspected to have Adware, and reported back to Applian.
Does anyone know if this is true, and if there is a fix to prent this behaviour ? (I use AVG & Spybot)

Looked at your link thanks, which I see refers to using 'Freecorder 3' (it is an old version, 1 before the V4 I installed a few years back) to augment Audacity
I think my previous reply maybe not sufficiently detailed. The beauty of Freecorder was it records (think in mono) simultaneously the streaming audio of both input and output audio channels that pass through the 'soundcard'. i.e can record a Skype or other Voip call. I didn't see that in the Audacity list of features.
Since my first post, googling 'freecorder review' did bring up in cnet.com lots of very worrying user reviews e.g. "Malware - Avoid This!", and that subesquent versions of Freecorder (currently V7) are worse.

    Hi.  My new computer had Acrobat on it.  Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's.  and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription.  I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not.  What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis.  Thanks!  I would like to be able to download this and pay online.  Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I have a Windows 7 system.  Please help!

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - it looks like somebody has asked the hosts to remove your personal info from your post (it's not a good idea to post any personal info on any public forum).
    What do you 'stopped working and was closed, I can not work with him' ? What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ?
    If it's the activation screen and you can't remember your password for your account then see if you can get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
    You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

  • Update programme was not generated

    Hi,
    We have a situation where we are planning the Activity in CRM System and this data will be written to the transactional Cubes in SEM.
    The Problem is in the Activity if we change the plan end date while saving the Activity the Cube update programme was not generated in the Transactional Cube as result we have in the CRM online value for a particular period and in the Transactional Cube we have the same value for different Cubes ultimately in the report different periodicity.
    We cannot save the Activity agian as the Activity already in the Executed status and conditions flown to R/3 and also Actuals spent  for the same amount.
    Can anyone suggest how to make the data consistent in CRM online and in the TCubes

    Thanks for the posts.  We do plan to recapture the updates rules and will try to transport again (prod is not changeable).  Was just curious if anyone else had seen this problem.  It is just very odd that you can actually see the code via "Display Start Routine" in the update rules view, but the generated program does not contain the changes.  Actually, I am not surprised since the generated program version is older than the last change to the active rules and the generate program step is not executed in transport application.  Just don't understand why this happened.  Thanks for the comments so far.

    have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
    The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    Well, the quick summary that you are not going to like: This system is pretty short on RAM and processor power, your graphics driver is outdated and you are using two screens with different resolutions, which eats up all graphics acceleration plus your card has only 256 MB of VRAM in the first place, which doesn't meet the requirements. You will never be able to use 3D under those conditions.
