How can one specify that multiple windows open (each with its own web page(s) ) when Firefox starts?

I am on Firefox 15.0. I would prefer not to open multiple tabs to get multiple web sites up when Firefox is started. Instead, I prefer multiple windows. Some might have one tab, some might have several. For example, one window might have Gmail, another might have several different web pages related to weather, and another might simply have Google, and another Yahoo, and another, Orbitz. Since there may be five or six of these windows, with multiple web pages, perhaps 20 in toal, tabs get cluttered, and I don't prefer them anyway. I have plenty of memory and processing power.
Interestingly enough, if Firefox crashes, it allows you to restart with the pages it thinks you would want. It would be great to have a Start Firefox option similar to that!

You can reopen the windows and tabs from the previous session.
You can also use command line switches with a bash script or a modified Firefox desktop shortcut ant use -new-window -url <URL> to open a page in a new window.
<pre><nowiki><path to firefox>/firefox -new-window -url <URL1> -new-window -url <URL2>
</nowiki></pre>

Multiple ifs services each with its own agents

I would like to be able to do the following:
Ability to run multiple ifs applications on the same box (beefy one) each with its own set of agents. Ifs 1.0 config tool (ifsconfig) always creates IfsDefault.props file. Can I rename that file to something else and use the new name as the service name in the application?
What about the agents defs? Do I need different server managers? How do I tell which service relates to which server manager?
I would like to know how to do this on both ifs 1.0 and ifs 1.1.
Thanks.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

How do I XY graph two different signals each with its own y-axis on the same graph?

I have wired an n-ch, 1 sample VI to an xy graph express VI. I have two y-axis scales, but I only see a plot of one of the signals. Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong, and how to do it correctly? The VI as a whole may look ugly, but the flow of the signal from the xy-graph is obvious (but not working the way I want it to...). My sub-VI is attached. Thanks in advance, Christian

Hi Christian,
That express VI requires that you input an X data set for each plot.
If you must use that express VI, then for your program you need to insert a "build array" function, with two (or more) inputs, in line with the express VI's "X input", and wire your X data array to each of the build array function's inputs - see the example I've attached.
Personaly, I wouldn't use the express VI at all - it really isn't difficult to manipulate your data into the right format for the XY graph using simple functions - see the second example I've attached.
Mark H.
P.S. Gotta be worth about 6 stars I reckon!

Thank you for the link but what a waist of time.
Who is the idiot that decided to drop manual syncing of contacts and calendars?
I am on the point of dropping all APPLE machines!
I am looking to sync without having to worry about security issues, keeping my files and passwords locally on my machines, and not an external server such as a cloud drive.
Do you know if Outlook syncs also over an external server?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Will the store accept a Japanese language version of an iBook that is also in the store in English? Each with its own ISBN?

I have never heard of anyone having a problem with that. But note that Japanese books must be in epub3 format and thus cannot be produced by iBooks Author, in case that was your plan.

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

How can I confirm that my extensions are compatible with FF ver 4 and ver 5 before I upgrade?

When I have upgraded in the past I have been affected by extensions that do not work in the new version. How can I determine if my extensions are compatible with new versions. I have looked at knowledge base and other help but I can find nothing.

Thanks, Forewarned is forearmed.
Checking my incompatible extensions now seems to be less than when I just casually reviewed the list. Perhaps authors are still updating their products.
Most of my incompatible extensions are not critical. Perhaps the most important is AARDVARK which I use extensive prior to printing bank statements.
My incompatible extensions are:
Aardvark
Colourful Tabs
Image ToolBar
MS .NET Framework Assistant
Quick Page Zoom
Rewind/Fastforward Buttons
Windows Update

How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

How can I stop from second window opening small in Safari and browser bar floating in and out like the dock?

Every so often I will click on a link in safari and it opens a second window. It opens it small. I can click the two diagonal arrow in the upper right hand corner and go to full view but then the browser bar at th top and all the Safari stuff like file, edit, view, history etc float up out of site. Much like the disappearing dock I can get it come back by going up by it. This is very frustrating. I have fixed it in the past but each time it is very difficult to find out how to do it. First why does this start happening? and if it does how can I get it to go back to the normal way? I will then bookmark the answer so I will be able to fix it quickly if it happens again.

I may not have called things the proper name. I am re-wording this now. Hopefully this makes it clearer.
Every so often,(3 times in 4 months), I will click on a web site and a new window will open much smaller than the standard window. I can enlarge the window by click the two arrows in the upper right hand corner but the menu bar disappears and reappears if you hover over it. I tried what some said above and when the window was small dragged it to the same size as the window under it, menu bars all visible. I closed that window and reopened it and it opened small again. I can go for several weeks and all additional windows open the correct size and with menus visible, then it goes into this mode. Everything running Lion 10.7.2 and Sarafi 5.1.1
I straightened it out one time or got it to stop doing that but don't remember how I did it. My husband fixed it the second time and he isn't around today. Anyone able to help?

How can I specify that a border should have a certain length on a side?

how to customize a border so that length can be specified?
(I know that you can use createMatteBorder() to specify which sides should have a border. But this is different - how do you specify the length on a side).
for example, here is one side: --- is the side and ==== is the border
===========
how do I implement it?
I am stumped.
thanks,
Anil

BorderFactory does dispense some static instances depending on the type of
border being created. But you'll need to subclass MatteBorder to customize it;
I don't think you'll be able to do it via BorderFactory. You can either override
the paintBorder method to not paint the entire top part of the border or paint
over it; the latter approach is taken below:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.border.MatteBorder;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PartiallyPaintedBorder extends MatteBorder {
     private final static int MARGIN = 15;
     public PartiallyPaintedBorder( int top, int left, int bottom, int right, Icon tileIcon ) {
          super( top, left, bottom, right, tileIcon );
     * Paints the matte border.
    public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
         super.paintBorder( c, g, x, y, width, height );
        Insets insets = getBorderInsets(c);
        Color oldColor = g.getColor();
        g.translate(x, y);
        color = c.getBackground();
        if ( color == null )
             color = Color.gray;
        // Erase part of top matte edge
        g.setColor(color);
        g.fillRect( width / 2, 0, width, insets.top);
        g.translate(-x, -y);
        g.setColor(oldColor);
     // Example use on a JPanel containing a JButton.
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JPanel p = new JPanel();
          p.setBorder( new PartiallyPaintedBorder( MARGIN, MARGIN, MARGIN, MARGIN, UIManager.getIcon( "FileView.computerIcon" ) ) );
          p.add( new javax.swing.JButton( "Press me" ) );
          JFrame f = new JFrame( "Tester" );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.getContentPane().add( p );
          f.pack();
          f.setVisible( true );
}
