How can I get the dictionary feature to work with firefox?

I haven't been able to get the dictionary to pop up using the three-finger double-tap in Firefox. Is there is a fix for this?

Download and install magicPrefs (for free) and do this:
My guess is that there are problems with gestures yet to be worked out. One problem I see is that users don't wait long enough, or try hard enough (ha!) when using them. My guess is that when the machine is busy (indexing, rendering, etc.) that the gestures get hosed, but I am not a developer...so just a guess

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Answer: to How can I get the reset button to work.

    How can I get the reset button to work?: Answer
    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
        at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
        at AddATree2/onReset()
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

  • How can I get the readability bookmarklet to work

    Firefox 3.6.8 in Windows XP Home on a Toshiba netbook. How can I get the "readability" bookmarklet to work? It works just fine in Camino on an Apple mini desktop computer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger.) Readability uses javascript, which I do have turned on. The problem (of it not working) doesn't seem to have anything to do with the NoScript add-on either, as I tried allowing everything on the page and it still didn't work. Any ideas of what to try next?
    ''Duplicate post, continue [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/746624 here]''

    Hi there.
    By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • I synced firefox information to the servers and exchanged my laptop. How can I get the new laptop to sync with my firefox data?

    I want to get my firefox sync data on my laptop. However, I haven't paired this device, I just have my information on the firefox servers under my account. How can I get the sync info on this new laptop?

    If you don't have a 2nd device available which is already setup with your Sync account, pairing can't be done.
    In order to set up a '''new device''' when you can't "pair", you need three things; the user account name ''(email address used)'', the password for the account, and the '''Sync Key'''.
    If you didn't make a copy of the Sync Key as prompted at the end of the Sync set up process, you can't successfully setup a new device and won't be able to recover your data.

  • Can't get the zte mf627 to work with 10.9.2

    Hi I have an older 3 ZTE MF627 3G dongle. Cant get the loaded software to work with 10.9.2 on Macbook Air. Also cant find a download for new sofware for it to work....

    All USB network devices are to be avoided, if possible. They depend on complex third-party software that's often of poor quality and is prone to cause system instability. The software is rarely, if ever, updated, and may stop working entirely when OS X is updated. Use a mobile Wi-Fi or Bluetooth hotspot, either a mobile phone or a dedicated device—no software needed.
    If you have no choice but to use the device, your only recourse is to the vendor.

  • When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
    This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
    (td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
    **I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

    Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
    What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
    "How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
    <b>**********Solution*********</b>
    Download the file:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
    Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
    Install the font that was downloaded.
    <b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
    I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?
