How can I add a particular website to the Windows8 Start Screen. IE has an option but I can't find one for Firefox.

I have a new PC with Windows8 installed.
I would like to add Facebook. twitter and outlook mail etc to the Start Screen.
I do not wish to use the Microsoft 'Apps' as they are all mobile versions and I do not like them. The only way to get these programs on the Start Screen is to add a link to the website direct.
My preferred brower is Firefox but there is no option to add a website to the start screen in firefox, however there is one in Internet Explorer.
Also, if possible, am I able to get the program to just open up in a new tab? rather than new window each time?

There are some Windows 8-specific features in development, but I don't know whether this one is available yet (or when it might be). I wonder whether someone could create an add-on to do it? I didn't see one in a quick search.
If you create the shortcuts using IE, but have Firefox set as your default browser, do those tiles launch the sites in Firefox?
There is a setting to open external links in a new tab in the last active window. I'm not sure whether that extends to the Firefox program icon. Normally, external links follow your preference for links you click inside Firefox, but you also can set their behavior separately as described in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934541#answer-359719 (it's long, bring coffee).
Are we getting any closer?

How do I add my bank website to the list?

How do I add my bank opening page on the bookmark list?

When you have your banks login page on the screen, click on Bookmarks and then select Bookmark this page.
You can then select a folder to put it in or just have it as one in the list.

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

I have a brand new Nano Ipod 7th Generation. I can't get any sound out of earphones. Yes, have pushed the cord all the way in. Screen shows tunes are playing, but I can't hear anything. Volume bar shows volume all the way up. Now what?

No sound out of earphones. Yes, cord is all the way in the jack. Screen shows tune is "playing", but I can't get any sound out. Help

If this is the case, I recommend to visit Apple store to request for replacement. Cheers!

How can i add a navigation rule at the runtime of JSF?

Hello,
how can i add a navigation rule at the runtime of JSF. Maybe i should use the method "addNavigationRule()" in class "FacesConfig", but i do not know, how can i obtain the instance of class "FacesConfig". Can anybody help me?
Thank you very much!!!

Just curious: Why whould you want to add navigation Rules at run time. I believe the navigation rules should be set to begin with - "by s/w Architect Design".
Else you can always use Redirect / Forward.

How do I add a delete website back in to the iWeb Program?

How do I add a delete website back in to the iWeb program?
I still have the files there are stored on the hard drive.

If you deleted the site in iWeb and saved, then your site is lost.
If you have not made a backup of the Domain.sites file before you deleted the site in iWeb, then you have nothing to fall back on.
There is unfortunately no way of importing an existing site into iWeb - it just doesn't work that way.
Your only option then is to cut and paste existing material from your published site back into iWeb.

How can i add an administrator access so the admin can edit his webpage on the web browser?

A content management system or CMS is software usually on the server that allows client's to log-in and edit content from any web browser with an internet connection. These web pages are typically built with server-side programming (PHP) and databases (MySql).
CMSs come big and small. The right one for your project depends on
     a) your programming skills,
     b) project requirements,
     c) budget.

How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,

Keyboard shortcuts: Curves
You can use these keyboard shortcuts for Curves:
To set a point on the curve for the selected color in each color component channel (but not in the composite channel), Shift+Ctrl-click (Windows) or Shift+Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
To select multiple points, Shift-click points on the curve. Selected points are filled with black.
To deselect all points on the curve, click in the grid, or press Ctrl‑D (Windows) or Command-D (Mac OS).
To select the next higher point on the curve, press the plus key; to select the next lowest, press the minus key.
To move selected points on the curve, press the arrow keys.
(Curves dialog box) To set a point on the curve for the current channel, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
If you’re instead using the Curves adjustment, simply click in the image with the On-image adjustment tool .

When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

How do I add a new font to the list?

In "Tools/Options/Content/Advanced" how do I add a new font to the list? I have "Comic Sans MS" listed for one of the options, but the drop-down menu does not contain that option, so I can't select it for another font option.

Thanks for your reply.
As to your question: No, of course I wouldn't scroll down, it's in alphabetical order, so why would "C" for Comic Sans MS be anywhere but between B and D on the list?
Now a question for you: If person or group was going to alphabetize a list and then break it down into sublists, why would he, she, they not include headers for each portion and maybe even indent each font name, so a person might have a chance of getting the drift?
Also, how do you add new fonts to the list?
