How do I reduce the size of Firefox on my HP laptop. I don't want the ful screen.
On start up Firefox covers the full screen. I manually adjust it, but on the next start up it does the same. I'm using a HP Pavilion dv1000 of indeterminate age . Any suggestions?
Firefox has a full screen mode where the menu and toolbars are hidden, and a maximized mode where you get all the bars but the window is not resizable.
Normally, Firefox will remember the last window size and re-use that. However, sometimes the file that stores this information (as well as your toolbar layout customizations) becomes corrupted. The usual workaround is to rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
When you start Firefox again, it should be back to its default toolbar layout and window sizing.
Note: If you have a program named Advanced SystemCare, its Surfing Protection feature might override your settings changes between sessions. You may need to disable this feature.

How do I get iTunes to ONLY open in Mini Player? I don't want the entire iTunes interface opening when I double click on an Mp3 file.
Over 6000 people have downladed the script to get around this after a fashion. Is it still required?

in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.
Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
Longer answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

How do I reduce font size on captions?
I want to use captions on my slideshows but the font is far too large. How do I reduce its size? At present the captions are far too intrusive. I am using PE9.
JudithHi,
In the slide show editor, select a slide and then click on the caption text in the slide. On the right, you should see options to change the text formatting including size. You can also drag the text box to a new location on the slide.
I am not aware of a global setting to change all the captions. Currently, the default size is variable, depending on the length of the text.
Hope that helps

Imported pictures are HUGE. Way too big. How do I reduce JPEG size?
JPEG size imports WAY TOO BIG. How do I reduce JPEG size? Thanks so much@!!
Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

If nothing happens when you press the F11 key, check if you have the same problem in Safe Mode.

how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone? i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed. I want to send the file as a file. Pleas advise. thank you.
Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive. -
I'm using 33.0.1 firefox. When I google I don't want a new tab to be opened unless I rt click and open.
As far as I remember, I wasn't the case before. Could someone help to change the settings or how do I open the link in that particular page itself rather opening in new tab?
Thankshello, this is a google setting that you can change at google.com/preferences.

Dreamweaver CS3 creates "_notes" directories. I don't want the "_notes" directories. How do I configure DW CS3 to not create those directories?
No, it makes no difference to Run-time styling.
A design-time stylesheet is a stylesheet that is only applied to the page as you are working in DW. This is very handy if you have elements on the page which are normally hidden/visible and you want to toggle that visibility while in Design view. Or when you have content that is styled in a way that DW doesn't understand, but the browsers do - you can use a DT stylesheet to modify this styling in Design view only. I'll give you an example -
There is a metric that is used for font sizing called "rem". A rem is a relative em value - in other words, it specifies the ratio between the actual character size and the size of a base definition for the character size on the page. In previous versions of DW, this metric was not supported. So text content was abnormally large as a result when looking at a page using Design view. A DT stylesheet solves that problem by redefining the character size in px, but only when I am working in DW. Here's a good explanation (http://www.css-tricks.com/rems-ems/)
You also will lose (I believe) details about which files have been recently synched, and some of your local settings for guides and snap to guides. -
I don't want the updates...If they take away the ease of using my computer! The latest version didn't recognize the FB shortcut. and I use my wireless printer now I don't think I can because it had no updates for the printer after firefox updated I want to be able to back out of the update if it isn't compatible!!!!
I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.
