How can I use Firefox to view a pdf in a local file? On the web pdf's open in Acrobat but in a local file (file:///C:/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) Firefox displays raw text instead of launching Acrobat

I am configured to open pdf's in Acrobat instead of Firefox. This works great on the web. I have a local mirror of a website on my local disk as well as a network disk. When I use my html file to attempt to open the pdf on the local disk (file:///C:/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) it opens as text in Firefox - appears to be ASCII view of the binary contents of the pdf. When I use my html file on my network disk (http://tucgsa.ibm.com/~kdbutt/T10/drafts/adc3/adc3r04.pdf) everything works as it should.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

How can I make Firefox display Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites when I touch the address bar?

I am using Firefox on HTC One. When I touch the address bar, I want to be able to see the Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites. By default, it always goes to Top Sites. Is there a setting that I can change, or change the order of the tabs? Thank you

Hi:
Unfortunately you cannot remove the top sites homepage but you can pin a site, remove a site by unpinning it and edit a pinned site's url.
Please read [[Pin Sites on the Firefox for Android start screen|this article]] for instructions.
Hope this helps!

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

How can I use firefox between windows 7 & windows XP on a network, where we are using Samba server. If a user logs on different workstation(and OS) with same account.

we have a Linux fileserver with Samba share and have several users.
The users tend to be in different locations and need to login at different workstations, sometimes the workstation may be WindowsXP and othertimes it is windows7.
How can we use Firefox & Thunderbird in this situation.
I find that Windows7 uses compressed files to store the location information.
when a user logs on to win7 it creates a new account.

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

Turbo tax says i need ie6 or higher to update. how can i use firefox

turbo tax says it requires internet explorer 6 or higher to download updates. even if i use a different browser, i need ie6. do you have a solution how i can use firefox ? I don't want ie anything

You can't. As the-edmeister said it has to do with ActiveX controls. When you go to MS's Updates page it scans for the ActiveX control. If you don't have it you can't update any MS program.
Just another way MS keeps annoying people.

How can I use firefox to access Oracle's 10g Express Edition Database script editor?

I have installed Oracle's 10g Express Edition (xe) Database in my computer, which is running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. I can access the database through the command line and by using the web interface on Firefox. However, the script editor doesn't work with Firefox. The scripts are not shown and I'm unable to edit them.

How can I use a dll if I dont have a header file

I'm not sure if I'm even trying the possible here as I have searched and not been able to find much at all. However I figured it was worth asking here.
I have access to several dll's used by a program, I need to open a file using the program (for some reason it is completely non responsive unless you open it "within" the program itself) and so decided to browse the .dll files included. Ive found a few functions which may carry out the function I need. Is there a way of figuring out the inputs/outputs if I don't have documentation or a header file?
This is the next stage in a huge project I am working on at the moment and I've been banging my head against the wall all day trying to figure this out.
Thanks in advance for any help

That glass?
Thats glass is neither half full or half empty....
Its twice the size it needs to be

Yes, that makes sense. It also means that what you are trying to do is not likely to work. You have no way of knowing what the program does when opening the file, so guessing at using the DLLs is purely a shot in the dark without even knowing where the dark is. Even if you could find the function (assuming it's just one) that loads a file, how is the program supposed to use it now? That function has to be called from within the program. When you call it from LabVIEW you are not sitting inside the program's memory space, so it has no way of knowing about the file.
I would suggest, instead, to see if the program accepts command-line parameters. For example, does it accept a name of a file to open as part of launching it from the command line? If not, then you may need to resort to trying to control it via automation. If it has no built-in automation then you need to resort to using the OS to make pretend you're clicking buttons and typing text. This has come up many times before, and there have been numerous posts on this, so please do a search on controlling an external program from LabVIEW within this forum. You can call the Windows API functions to move the mouse to a specific location and click the button as well as typing text, or you can use third-part automation tools. One that I have used successfully is AutoIt. The search I indicated will yield other suggestions.

HOW CAN I USE TIME MACHINE TO BACKUP ONLY PART OF MY FILES ON EXTERNAL D?

Hi, I am using time machine to back up all my files at the moment. but I want to get rid of video and photo material from my laptop and keep it on the external hard drive to which the time machine backs up my stuff.
how can i do this without losing the video and photo files permamnently?
thank a lot!

doesn't time machine back up my files on the External hard disk?
By default, Time Machine backs-up almost everything on your internal HD to your External HD. It can also back up things on an external HD, if you want it to.
What I would like is, to find a way so that I could back up everything, but not have all the videos and photos I do not use often, on my laptop. instead I want to put them on the external hard drive and have time machine update all the other files.
Yes, you can do that, but there are two considerations:
You should partition the external HD so the TM backups are in one partition, and the other files are in the other partition. A partition (also called a volume), is treated like a separate disk for most purposes. See #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
You should find another way to back-up the videos and photos in that other partition, such as archiving them to CDs/DVDs.
In other words, can Time machine back up only some of my files?
Yes. You can exclude things from Time Machine. See #10 in the FAQ Tip. If you partition your TM drive, the other partition on it should be excluded automatically; but if it isn't, you can easily add it to the +Do not back up+ list in TM Preferences > Options.
For detailed instructions on making another partition on your external HD, see #6 in the FAQ Tip. It shows how to add a TM partition to a drive that already has other data on it, but the procedure is the same.
