How can I do an 'advanced' search in the 'Find Bar'?

I want to be able to search for any instance of either "hour" or "min" (for example) in an open page. Is there any way to do this? (e.g. hour | min, "hour" OR "min", etc.)
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I started wanting to do more complex 'Find Bar' searches.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

How to see number of matching results in the find bar?

Hi, can I configure Firefox to include the number of matching results on the page in the find bar? It's one of the things I appreciate in other browsers (helps give context / get a feel for relevance / make quick decisions)
Or is there a lightweight add-on to do the same?
Thanks :)

I haven't tried this, but the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/ FindBar Tweak] extension advertises "Total hits and current hit counter in the findbar".

How can I turn off Spotlight search on the iPhone6?

I know how to switch off various search options but I want the whole Spotlight search facility disabled. The iPhone 6 is so big that whenever I am swiping between screens I manage to activate the Spotlight search screen. I want it disabled

To the best of my knowledge, you can't disable it. You can go to Settings>Spotlight Search and uncheck all of the boxes this way if you pull it down, you can't accidentally click anything. Other than that you can't do it without jailbreaking. Hope this helps.

How can I copy text as-is from the address bar?

Hi there,
I use numerous username/password combinations to log onto an ftp site in the following form:
ftp://fairlyShortUsername:[email protected]
E.g. ftp://moduleFour:[email protected]
Using this method allows me to log straight in because username and password are stored right inside the url.
Due to their convenience, it is useful to be able to pass these links around to others.
If I start typing the username (e.g. 'moduleF'...) in the address bar, the complete URL appears in the autocomplete suggestions and I can use the down arrow to display it in the address bar and copy it to the clipboard.
However, when I paste what I copied (taking the above example), I just get ftp://ftp.site.com. This is no use to anyone without the information that has been stripped out.
I'm not concerned with security (understandably, given that I'm using urls with plain text passwords).
I'm sure firefox is just trying to be 'helpful', but is there any way I can copy the exact text displayed at the time I press Ctrl + C, without firefox interfering? At the moment, I have to look up the username and password and paste them into a url template every time, which given the number of times I've done it, has already taken up more time of my life than it's taken me to write this question, which is why I'm asking.
*** NOTE: Changing the value of browser.urlbar.trimURLs and browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled has *not* allowed me to fix this. ***

Okay, I think one of these add-ons is just what you need.
Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-copyfixer My CopyFixer ]''' {web link}
Use Ctrl+C when nothing selected to copy page title and url in
various format (template base).

Send a list of browser tab URLs to email, Web mail, or the clipboard

How can I remove an application icon from the loc. bar and prevent it from auto loading?

I don't know the "lingo" of how-to's with Firefox; but I subscribed to www.catalogchoice.org. Somehow, the icon appears to the right of my print icon in the location bar and automatically pops-up when I go to any website. I can't find how to remove it from the toolbar and remove it from Firefox. I cancelled my subscription with them but continue to have this annoyance.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If you are using Lion, places no longer exists. It is now favourites, I understand.

How can i update or delete bookmarks in the menu bar

How can i delete some book marks in my book mark tool bar or menu ?

You can delete from the Bookmarks Sidebar
*in OSX, Cmd+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar
*See - http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
Other ways to delete Bookmarks - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-delete-bookmark

How can I get CTRL-F to open the find dialog?

I am using Firefox V36.0.4 and when I am on the catalog site of mydoitbest.com and I press the CTRL+F to open the find dialog and it doesn't work. I contacted the authors of the site and they said:
"This is a quirk in Firefox actually, not our site. You need to either click at the top of the browser (in some blank area, like below the address bar) before pressing Ctrl+F or press Ctrl+F twice for the search bar to come up in the lower left corner. We updated our Firefox to your recent version and had the same result. If you click the top of the browser first or press Ctrl+F twice that will bring the search bar up."
I'm not sure I believe them... This is the only site that has the problem. I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode, it still doesn't work. I believe they are doing something to capture the <CTRL> key because when I press CTRL+Left Mouse Click on a link it should open a the link on a new <TAB>, but instead just opens the link in the same <TAB>.
Has anybody else reported a problem with Firefox? Any other ideas or any way for me to check the source for the page to see if they are doing something wrong?
Thanks, Keith

Hi, thanks for the reply.
No, that doesn't fix the problem.
I've done some programming and have been checking out their site. They are trapping the keys so the first time I press <CTRL-F> it puts a lower case "f" in their search box. If I press <CTRL-F> again the search dialog box does open. If I click on their search box first with the mouse, then press <CTRL-F> it works as it should.
I guess I'll have to live with it, because they don't seem interested in correcting their problem.
Thanks, Keith

How can I mount an SMB share in the Finder? (Leopard)

In Tiger, I was able to mount a SMB share in the finder and it would be displayed under the "Devices" section. With Leopard, I cant get this to work. Leopard is much easier to browse network shares on my Windows machine under the "Shared" section, but I would still like to have certain folder mounted all the time, preferably on startup.

Works perfectly for me, so let me make sure we're on the same page.
I mount the volume manually, using Connect to Server.
I drag the volume, now appearing in Computer and on the Desktop, to the Devices section of the Sidebar.
I eject the volume, and it disappears from the Sidebar.
I mount the volume again (it could be by browsing for it, through Connect to Server, or through an Automount Maker document)
It appears, without my having to do anything, in the Sidebar.
As far as I can tell, this is what you were aiming for. Am I missing something?

How can you open a new tab from the adress bar when located in an app tab ?

When I am in an app tab and I write another url in the address bar, I would like it to be opened in a new tab, not in the app tab, so I don't ruin what I have.
Is this possible?

You can use "Opt + Return" or middle click the Go (Reload/Stop) button at the right end of the location bar.
See "Open Address in New Tab" : [[Keyboard shortcuts]]

How can you disable "set desktop picture" from the finder contextual menu

I teach high school. And MUST find a way to keep my students from changing their desktops.
First I basically got rid of Firefox when it had that feature in the Tiger days.
Then for Leopard I had to create dummy "locked" Safari Desktop Picture files for all my user accounts so the kids couldn't use Safari to set their desktop pictures.
NOW I discover (maybe this was here before) Snow Leopard lets you change the desktop right from the Finder itself! Just right click on any image file and the contextual menu will give them the option to "set desktop picture".
Come on Apple, every educator I know has complained about what a distraction and constant battle images are for students who use computers. While not all students are inappropriate, quite a few are...meaning no one can be allowed the privilege. Why is this such a huge battle to try and lock down? Please allow Parental Controls or Server managed preferences to keep our students from being able to change their desktop pictures, ever, at all, from anywhere or any program.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?

The only way (I have found) to shut down using Safari's "Use Image as a Desktop Picture" feature is to create a bunch of blank documents that the users have no permission to change (i.e. set permission to only allow, say YOU to read it and no access to write to it for anyone)
Create a number of these blank documents and rename them
Safari Desktop Picture.jpg
Safari Desktop Picture.tiff
Safari Desktop Picture.gif
Safari Desktop Picture.jpeg
Safari Desktop Picture.png
(you get the point....come up with as many .3 extensions of photo files that you can think of)
Put these locked and unchangeable files into the following directory of each of your student accounts
Macintosh HD/Users/~User Name/Library/Safari/
What this does is create a bunch of dummy files that will "block" Safari (or the system or user) from trying to replace them. Even though the right click comman will still be there, Safari will not be able to put the picture in the correct part of the system for it to be used as a Desktop Picture.

How can i access my icloud files from the finder?

I have tried dragging the icloud icon from the toolbar of safari to the toolbar of a finder window without success. There are files from apps I would like to save on my cloud that do not natively support iCloud.
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Fricaseed

The Safari iCloud icon is for iCloud tabs which syncs all of your tabs in Safari between all of your iOS devices and Macs. So basically while you were dragging the iCloud icon into Finder, you were doing nothing. Also iCloud only saves information and files from certain applications such as Reminders, Notes, Messages, Safari, TextEdit, etc. If there are apps that do not natively support iCloud you cannot save their files to iCloud because Apple does not have a feature that can save any file from any app on your Mac. Sorry to tell you this.
Hope this helps,

How Can I Encode a Video and Lose the Black Bars?

I have a .wmv file. According to the properties it is 720x480. The video is rectangle, not square... So I'm assuming it is technically widescreen. I brought it into premiere cs4 to auto color it. I'm exporting it with media encoder and this video has black bars. Is there a way to get rid of them? It seems when I play the file on my PC before doing anything in premiere, they are at the top and bottom. Right now I am exporting it and in the little preview box they seem to be on the top, bottom and slightly wider ones on both sides. Not sure how those got put in the mix. Can I get rid of all black bars? I'm guessing the camcorder puts them there at the top and bottom, so how would i know what the height and width of the video would be without them anyway? I'm confused...
The project settings were standard ntsc DV at 720x480 widescreen.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Hunt... I got the program and loaded my video file into it.
The PAR and DAR area is blank. It does say SAR 1.500 (3:2)... Does that help?
Thanks!
