How do I keep Mozilla's "Yahoo" text, links, references off my computer screen, or do I need to start looking for a new web browser?????

I find the Yahoo search experience condescending, overbearing, dictatorial and offensive. I truly regret your forcing Yahoo on me without giving me a way to use a search engine I am comfortable with. Perhaps there is a way to opt out of Yahoo's contamination of Firefox, but I have yet to figure it out. How do I banish your Yahoo from my Firefox ? I'm trying not to be ugly about this but I really think this was a wrong turn for mozilla on the road to success.

Sorry I know some people do not like this, and as usual Firefox made a change without advance warning, but it is easy to change back.
Just change the search engine set as default in the search bar that changes all the Firefox searches to use that search engine.
So that includes, location bar, newtab, homepage, highlighted text
* Use Magnifying glass icon -> Change Search Settings -> |Search| Default Search Engine [ v^]
* See [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
Hope this helps you to quickly get back to normal. Please post back to say how you get on.

Thank you for your question about the search changes in Firefox. There's been a lot of exciting news and we are happy to assist you.
'''What has changed?'''<br>
In the US and Canada, the default search engine has been changed from ''Google'' to ''Yahoo''. In Russia, ''Yandex Search'' will become the default search and in China, ''Baidu'' will continue to be the default search. However, all other search engines will still be available in these regions. You will notice this change in Firefox 34.
'''Would you like to know more about the change?'''<br>
See the blog post written by Chris Beard, [https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/ New Search Strategy for Firefox: Promoting Choice & Innovation] and the News Release, [https://blog.mozilla.org/press/2014/11/yahoo-and-mozilla-form-strategic-partnership/ Yahoo and Mozilla Form Strategic Partnership].
'''Do you want to change your default search engine?'''<br>
In Firefox 33 or below, you would change your default search engine from the Search bar, as shown in [/gallery/image/19894 this animation]. Starting in Firefox 34, you can use one of these methods:<br>
''Note: The following may not apply to localized versions of Firefox.''
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose '''Options''' on Windows or '''Preferences''' on Mac or Linux, then select the '''Search''' settings panel.
* Click on the magnifying glass icon in the Search bar, then click on Change Search Settings, as shown here:
:[[Image:search prefs 34]]
In the Search settings panel that opens, select a different search engine from the drop-down menu (see [/en-US/gallery/image/20002 this screenshot]).
For more information, see the article [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]].
Let us know if this answers your questions. If you have any other questions, we are happy to help.

How do I keep more than 10 text messages on my Iphone 4s ?

how do I keep more than 10 text messages on my Iphone 4s ?

If you scroll up and don't see that button, then there are no more messages to see.
Here's a sample image I found on Google that shows the button.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

How to open an Applet from a text link in a HTML Page

Hi There
How to open an Applet from a text link
in a HTML page
For example I have a HyperLink "Open Applet"
When a user clicks that link i want to open a
Applet in a AWT Window.
How can i do this
Will any one help me?
-Ramya

u can use javascript for that
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function loadAppNow() {
document.write("<APPLET ......></APPLET>")
</SCRIPT>
LoadApplet
this will overwrite the applet on current window
There are many good ways other than document.write to open in same window. I don't remember the syntax right now.
Plz. refer to javascript tutorial for that.
even you can insert the applet while retaining previous contents. its quite easy actually.

Thanks. I saw a number of answers to the same basic question after I posted my question and apparently there are ways to to keep it on but, as you said, it will drain the battery quickly.

How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?

How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen? I can get a couple of words on the screen with a graphic but not 10 lines. I need 10 lines on the page with the image.

Priscilla,
I routinely combine 10 lines of 36 pt bible or lecture text to a suitable background using Boris Title 3D.
Many times the text is too long to fit the screen using Boris, so I devide it into 2 or more parts with no transition between sections.
In my case, the text is on the screen as the speaker quotes them.

Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

How do I get my TV to display what's on my computer screen (Not I-tunes)?

How do I get my TV to display what's on my computer screen (Not I-tunes)?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
