How do I enable the macbook pro trackpad pinch open and close feature in Firefox?

TYPE OF SYSTEM: Macbook Pro, OSX V 10.5.8
My pinch and zoom function works fine with Safari. Is there a way to enable this feature in Firefox?

You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>

  • How can I enable the center mouse click to open and close tabs in Firefox and Chrome?

    I have a MacBook Pro Model A1261 purchased in 2009. On my other mac at work (and my PC) I can center click to open a link in a new tab while in Chrome or FireFox, and also to close a tab by clicking on it in the tabs at the top. I am using an external USB mouse on my MacBook Pro and when I click the center scroll wheel it brings up the dashboard. I looked in the settings but wasn't able to find a way to change that setting for the center button to open and close tabs in my web browser. Is there a way? Please help!

  • The Apple trackpad won't except the "pinch open and close" command on Firefox version 4. It is configured correctly in the system preferences. HELP!

    I am using the Apple trackpad with Firefox version 4. The trackpad won't "pinch open and close". It is configured correctly in the system preferences. It also worked in version 3. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Do the related browser.gesture prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page still have a value set for those gestures?
    Which Firefox function should be performed with those gestures?
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

    Drink the Irish, and as for the cleaning Vodka, buy the absolute cheapest one in the store, the one you wouldn't want to drink.
    They all meet FDA standards for human consumption unlike alcohol in the drug store.

  • How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor.  At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on.  I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
    If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
    Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable.  If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes.  It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

  • HT5624 How can I track the MACbook Pro that just used my apple ID to log into iCloud?  (I just got an email stating that someone just used it?)

    Here is the email:
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".  I had a MacBook Pro stolen in January and I'm wondering if someone was using that stolen computer to login??
    Anyway to track the computer trying to log in using my other Apple ID?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in System preferences>icloud), then you can try to track it.  Using another computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the mac is listed as "offline", then you can't track it.

  • Mag Safe power cord sparks when connected or disconnected--whereupon the MacBook Pro 13'' dumps date and time, and all passwords, plus any/all unsaved information.

    I purchased my MacBook Pro 13" from the Apple Store in Tucson, AZ, in mid-January. Since then, every time the Mag-Safe cord is jostled, not even disconnected, sparks fly from the power terminal on the computer, the computer shuts down, and dumps its passwords, as well as the date and time.
    Any work in progress is also lost.
    I work overseas, and Apple's advice was to give them my credit card number, await shipment of a new power supply and cord, and then, when I return the old power supply and cord, i'd receive a credit. That won't work, as packages from the US to my location take weeks if they arrive at all. There is no Apple Store within a reasonable distance. Or, Apple suggests, when I'm home on leave in mid-June, I should bring the computer to the Apple Store for repair--I have only days in which to do that, but I suppose I'll need to try. My concern is that I'll need to return overseas without my computer and won't be able to retrieve it for months, until my next leave.
    This issue shows up elsewhere online. Is there a short in the power terminal in the computer, or on the Mag-Safe power cord, or within the computer itself? It's a known issue, thus I wonder why it hasn't been fixed.

    Odd, but here's a copy of Page 1 of the links I got:

  • Using the MacBook Pro with external Monitor and Keyboard

    This may be a dumb question, but here it goes anyway:
    Can I use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without having it opened all of the time ?
    I am planning to buy a MacBook for my wife and most of the time she will be using it at her home office.
    I don't want her to use the computer opened all of the time when she is actually looking at the separate screen and using a separate keyboard. Having the laptop opened will only accumulate dust and reduce the lifetime of the built in screen.
    What I would actually need is a kind of "docking station", but Apple doesn't make that - I know.
    So can the MacBook at least be operated without the internal screen powered on while it is closed?
    Thanks for your help
    Martin

  • HELP!! Black screen on my MacBook Pro after leaving open and on for over 8 hours.

    Hi everyone,
    This is the first time I'm using the discussion board as I haven't had any problems with my MacBook Pro since I bought it in November 2010. However, yesterday, I left my laptop on and open for over 8 hours without realising. When I came back to my laptop it had a black screen that just wouldn't go away. I pressed all the buttons on my keypad to wake it up but this didn't work. The caps lock key lights up when pressed and the volume button makes the clicky noise when turned up and down but the screen is still black. I have tried turning the laptop on/off using the power button several times. When it starts up it makes the usual sounds and I can hear that it is on but the screen is still black.
    I do not use my laptop for anything complicated. I really only use it to browse the web. I hope someone can help me. I have tried to make an appointment with the Genius Bar but there are no available appointments at my local one. I'm not a mac expert and don't understand technical words so please speak in layman terms otherwise I won't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    If you've a 15" version, maybe...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
             com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
             com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000->0x8378dfff
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can i get my macbook pro to automatically login and open the server

    I apologize if this question has been asked before.  I am new to MAC and know almost nothing about configuring them.
