How can I pin a website to the start page in W8

I can pin applications to the Start/Metro page in Windows 8 but cannot see how to pin a website using Firefox. I have seen on the 'How to Geek' site that it is simple to do in IE and Chrome but I don't use those browsers. Does anyone know how to do this please?

there is this article

but its a long process

  • Firefox crashes when trying to pin a website to the start page

    Hi.
    Whenever I try to pin a website to the start page, Firefox crashes. Looking in the logs I see:
    E/GeckoCrashHandler(11176): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: foreign key constraint failed (code 19)
    I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2.1.3 (Android 4.3.1) on a Samsung S4 Mini (GT-I9195).
    Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi Roland.
    These are all of my crash reports:

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    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:

  • TS1702 how can you update your apps on the itune page like you use to with the old itunes

    How can I update my apps on the new itunes?  On the previuos itunes i was able to update them won the computer the sync my phone - i can not locate the update notifacation area on this new itunes program

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to sleect the Apps section of your library on that left-hand sidebar, click the 'Check For Updates' button at the bottom of it and download any available updates. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, select its Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes, and click the Sync button at the bottom of it - that should copy any app updates over to it

  • How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

    You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
    I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
    First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
    Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
    [Use Current Pages].
    Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
    I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
    If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
    This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
    It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
    You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
    Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
    About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
    Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
    Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

    If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • How can I center my website to the middle? My website, not my writing if it helps understand it better

    I wanna center my website to the middle of the screen, not left align. My writing is centered on the website but the site I created is stuck in the left side.

    Hello,
    please try in your css advice:
    #main {
      width: ....px; /*(Your choice)*/
    margin: 0 auto;
    In German: Indem man die Breite (width) eines Block-Elements definiert, verhindert man, dass es sich nach rechts und links bis zum Rand des umgebenden Containers ausbreitet. Durch Setzen des rechten und linken Außenabstands (margin) auf auto lässt sich das Element horizontal zentrieren. Das Element nimmt so die definierte Breite an und teilt den verbleibenden Außenabstand gleichmäßig auf.
    My try in English:
    By the width (width) defines a block-level element, it prevents it from spreading to the right and left to the edge of the surrounding container. By setting the right and left outer distance (margin) to auto can be the element horizontally center. The element that accepts the defined width and divides the remaining outer spacing evenly.
    Hans-Günter
    P.S.
    Try also "margin: 0 auto;" alone.

  • How can I print multiple photos on the same page from iPhoto?

    I want to print multiple pictures on one paper. How can I do that from iPhoto? If I select multiple photos they are printed on separate pages.

    Select the photos and click print - select the printer, paper size and print size (be sure that they will physically fit on the paper) and click customize - on the resulting page click on the settings icon - the gear looking thingy at the bottom - and in the selection window set print multiple photos on a page - the preview should reflect this change - and click print again to continue

  • How can I get my iBook on the feature page?

    Is there a fee or way to be on the feature page of iBooks?

    There seems to be two ways, at least...
    - be a favored author/vendor with connections inside the company
    - create a fantastic book that helps to promote the platform and gain broad attention that can't be missed

  • How can I print a label on the last page of the report in the margin

    I would like to display a label on my report but has to appear only on the last page of the report in the margin area or as a footer. I have tried using the solution below that I came across in this forum. This solution only worked if I put the label as a report trailer and not in the margin of the main section of report. The problem of putting the label as a report trailer is that it will only appear at the end of the report on it's own page, i.e. on a new page. I would like the label to appear at the end of the report, on the last page which has the other report details and not to appear on a new page on its own. Could you please help? Thanks.
    1. Create a dummy query, like
    select 1 dummy
    from dual
    2. Create a package spec:
    PACKAGE pkg_globals IS
    totalPages number(3);
    END;
    2. Create a repeating frame and field for this dummy at the end of the report layout.
    3. Create a format trigger for this frame:
    function R_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
    begin
    SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(pkg_globals.totalPages);
    return (FALSE);
    end;
    4. Create a format trigger for your margin field:
    function F_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
    pagenum number;
    begin
    srw.get_page_num(pagenum);
    if pagenum = pkg_globals.totalPages then
    return (TRUE);
    else
    return (false);
    end if;
    end;

  • How can I ensure newer versions of the same page are opened every time I visit

    I am advised by my Uni IT screen to ensure that firefox is set to check for 'newer versions of the same page with every visit to the page'. This is to ensure proper functioning inside the University's internal tutorial program.

    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences

  • How can I merge my files in the correct page order?

    Hello -
    I'm trying to combine several files... but I want to arrange the order of the pages. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    Hi alicia.horton,
    When you use the Combine Files option on Acrobat.com, you can determine which order the files are combined, but not at the page level. For that, you would need Acrobat. (If you have an Acrobat subscription, you'll also see an Organize Files option on Acrobat.com, which you could use to rearrange pages.)
    Best,
    Sara
