How do I change the size of the location bar in firefox 18?

I want to make the location bar much smaller and the search bar much bigger (I still want them to use the entire width of the toolbar). I read elsewhere in the forums that you can change the size of the bar by going to CUSTOMIZE and once the cursor changes to a re-size cursor, simply click and drag. However, that only worked for me with previous versions of Firefox. Since I've had to upgrade, the cursor remains a hand and never changes to the re-size arrow.

No, you do not have to go to customize mode. 
You need to do this in normal mode and place the mouse pointer between the two bars.

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder. 
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive. The data is initially stored in the following locations:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

How do I use the location bar to automatically load the top google hit?

I recently re-installed Firefox 3.6.12 and created a new profile because my old one was malfunctioning. Before, when I typed something in the location bar (say "nyt") it would automatically load the first Google hit (so I didn't have to type "nytimes.com"). Now, it simply performs a Google search without loading the first page hit. I loved being able to save time this way. How do I restore this feature?

I had this problem in FF4 and found the answer here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/756711#answer-
To quote TonyE:
Current release versions of Firefox by default use the Google "browse by name" search option for the location bar, but Firefox 4 beta 6 no longer uses this. You can restore it by changing a hidden preference. In Firefox 4 beta 6 it should have defaulted to a Google search rather than what you got.
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
In the filter box type keyword
Double-click on the preference keyword.URL and change it to the one shown below

There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.

Hi, sorry to say, but OSX can't do that.

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed? I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can I change the location of files? (buffers, history)

I want to change the location of my history and buffers from my SSD to a flashdisk. [Reason: to overcome wear and rear on my SSD.] How can I do this?
Open question: What other file locations (paths) should I change?

You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the Cache. 
You can verify that on the about:cache page (disk cache entry is missing).
The history and the bookmarks are stored in the same file and can't be separated. 
You would have to move the entire Firefox profile folder to that other drive or use Private Browsing mode. 
It is probably a good idea to make regularly backups of valuable profile data in case of drive failure. 
Flash drives also do not last forever and are also usually slower.

My page is defaulting to UK and I am in Australia. The google search in toolbar searches UK. How do I change the location in settings?

Hi how do I change my location as in Country from UK to Australia

I assume that you are referring to the '''Search Bar''', which is to the right of the Location Bar where URL's appear. You have the '''en-GB''' version of Firefox installed, which comes with the Google GB search engine. Install a Google - Australia search engine from here. 
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html
There are two listed, so make sure you install the one for '''Pages From Australia'''.

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
