How can I manage new Firefox for Mac on my network. Control users Home Pages for Mobile User Accounts.

I am running Mac Computers in a School. Current Mountain Lions OS and current Firefox Browser. We log in using mobile accounts. How can we manage Firefox so all users get the same home page and settings.
If I can do locally or through a profile, that would be great

hello, you could use the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder in order to lock or set certain preferences - here is some general information on how to set that up: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
and specific guide to set the homepage can be found here: http://mike.kaply.com/2012/08/29/setting-the-default-firefox-homepage-with-autoconfig/ (this blog also contains may other helpful resources for deploying firefox)

How can I reset new password in .mac system preferences?

...so that I can upgrade to MobileMe. When I type in my new password and hit Enter, or click over to Sync, it insists on remembering the old password, and then I can't sync. The odd thing is, when I enter the new password into .Mac preferences I get "thanks for being a member" and the days remaining on my account. The new password also works to log me in online, but I can't change system preferences to perform the upgrade to MobileMe. The old .Mac link to iCal works--the info is up to date--but the MobileMe calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc have no data.. Any ideas?
(I'm an only user using the admin. account (have one other account with unchanged original settings).

How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
Thanks in advance
Zia

The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

How can I change the thickness of the cell border of a table in Pages for iPad ?

Hi,
i want to change the thickness of cell borders in tables in Pages for iPad to at least 2pt, better 3pt.
How can I change the thickness in the iOS Version of Pages ?
Thanks

try this ...
In ur table call this
ColorRenderer cell=new ColorRender();
// for(int i=0;i<table.getModel().getColumnCount();i++){
// TableColumn mod=this.getColumn((this.getModel().getColumnName(i)));
mod.setCellRenderer(cell);
And ur ColorRender calss should override DefaultTableCellRenderer like this

protected int align;
public ColorRenderer(int align) {
this.align=align;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,

How can i manage old data on my file server that as not been used for over 2 years?

I have 4 file servers and more then 50% of the data is older then 2 years
I would like to move that data to another san, slower but i would like the user to have access by shortcut on there share
Would make it faster to backup because the drive would be 50% less big and would not affect users because they would see the same thing in there share it would just be a little lomnger to open file upon need.
Thanks
I have an environement 2008r2 but can transfert everything to a 2012 r2 if needed

robocopy is the tool I recommend to use for that. See that: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/51e5f602-b7f2-4d06-adda-1372c30f6250/help-for-script-to-move-old-files?forum=winserverpowershell
You can also add the shortcuts using a script: http://superuser.com/questions/455364/how-to-create-a-shortcut-using-a-batch-script

How can I sync between Firefox on mac (33.0.2) and Firefox on windows (33.0.2)?

The mac version is using the 'pair a device' method whereby a code needs to be generated and entered within the master browser.
The windows version is requesting I sign into an account.
The 2 methods are different and so at the moment I cannot sync my new windows browser with the original mac browser.
Please help, Thanks.

Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

I'm not nearly ready to buy a new computer. How can I keep using Firefox 16?

Hi,
I have an I-MAC 10.5.8 and am not about to purchase a new computer anytime soon. How can I keep using Firefox 16?

You asked,
Is Firefox 16 still secure for me to use?
Right now Firefox 16 has the latest security fixes but it won't get future fixes. ''[https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2012/10/04/we-bid-you-adieu-spotted-cat/ On November 20th, Firefox will end support for users operating Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). After this date, users will stop receiving Firefox updates, including new features and security fixes.]''
When will Firefox 17 be launched?
November 20th, [https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar according to the release calendar].
And if I upgrade my Mac to Lion software (which I'm planning to do, but not immediately), will that work?
Yes. The [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/17.0/system-requirements/ Firefox 17 system requirements] listed for Mac include OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), OS X 10.7 (Lion) and OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
More information:<br>
Here is a list of security vulnerabilities fixed in released versions of Firefox, for reference (you can check this page when Firefox 17 is released):
*http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Here is a link to the Firefox 17 release notes (currently in Beta) showing what new improvements will be made:

How can I move new tabs in Firefox 4 from the top of the screen to their previous position under the links?

With the new version, my tabs for open windows are now displayed at the top of my screen and I find it very inconvenient. When I try to move them down, they are copied instead and then are in two places. How can I set up Firefox to put the tabs in the original (old) position automatically?

Right-click a bit right of the "new tab" button with symbol "+" and uncheck "Tabs on the top" (or something like that, I use another language). That should do it.

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

After refusing an update now all I get is a white screen with the firefox logo. If I have to reinstall firefox 3.66, how can I transfer my firefox profile with bookmarks etc, to the new installation?
