How do I stop loading a page? This feature disappeared with a Firefox update.

There used to be a "stop loading this page" button in the toolbar. Somehow it's disappeared and I can't find any relevant help.

I got it now. I looked at another Mac with an older version of iTunes to see what you were talking about.
I am not a power user of iTunes so I am curious about this. I assume you would hit Stop to stop the song (and the stop button then becomes a Play button) then click Play to start playing the first song in the new playlist? Now in iTunes 11 you hit Pause and then have to use the little Play button next to the playlist name to do the same thing? Or, as a single click action you can you just hit the little play button and it will stop the song and start playing the playlist.

When I bought my iPad there was a feature that allowed me to voice record reminders. What happened to this feature. With all the updates, it is now gone.

When I bought my ipad 2 a few years ago there was a feature so that I could record reminders. But with all the updates, this feature is now gone. What happened to it? Also, on my iphone and imac, I can dictate and it types for me. I thought I had this feature on the ipad too, but can't find it. Does it not exist for the ipad 2 or do I have to download an app?

Your Mac will need internet connection : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5449
For your iPad there is Dragon Dictation which might work (I haven't tried it)

How do I stop links on pages from being highlighed with color? Doesn't happen with Explorer - just Firefox. It is annoying

When I open web pages using Firefox, all of the outbound links
on the page are have a colored shading around them. Not only
is it annoying, sometime it's the same color as the link text which
makes the link unreadable.
I know this must be a simple adjustment, but I have looked high and
low, googled, etc., and cannot find a satisfactory answer.
Help!

If the background of links is red then that is probably caused by an extension like SEO or SearchStatus that has the option set to highlight noFollow links.
You can check the options of such an extension.
You can click the icon on the Status bar to open the SearchStatus options and un-tick "Highlight NoFollow Links"

"Reload current page/Stop loading current page" seems to be missing from Navigation Bar customization. How do I get it back?

I am loading Firefox on a new computer, and I can't find the Navigation Bar button for "Reload current page/Stop loading current page". Is there any way to get it back as a choice under Navigation Bar customization or to create a new function? CTRL-R used to work for this function, but I'd like to have the button on the Navigation Bar.

View Page Source has been moved to the "Web Developer" sub-menu. You can use any of the following to View Page Source:
*CTRL+U
*Right-click a blank area of the page and choose "View Page Source"
*Firefox button > Web Developer > View Page Source
*Using the Menu Bar: Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
*ALT+T+W, release ALT key, letter O key

How can I make Firefox stop loading a page?

Let's say I fat-finger a url (e.g., Facebook..com), or I type "fac" into the address bar and either miss the down arrow or hit "enter" before the websites containing "fac" appear in the drop-down. I realize my error immediately, hit "ESC"... and rather than stopping, Firefox continues on to the error message ("Server not found: Firefox can't find the server at www.facebook..com") or the search results (First Acceptance Corporation, according to Google) until that page finishes loading. This wasn't an issue with older versions of Firefox--actually, it was one of the reasons I preferred Firefox to IE, since all versions of IE always behaved as I described above. Is there a reason newer versions of Firefox can't stop loading a page immediately upon my hitting "ESC" the way older versions did perfectly? More importantly, is there something I can do to get my forced upgrade of Firefox to replicate the good user interface of previous versions? It's not a huge issue, but it's irritating and seems like a step back.

You can also try to disable keyword and set the keyword.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

ThanksSTOP SHOUTING!
now, while displaying the form generate some random number, or take the current time in millis or whatever. Put that number in a hidden field. Insert that unique number along with the real data into the database, but before you do check if the number already exists. If it does you can be pretty sure this is a resubmit of the same data, so don't allow it. This is one way of many to prevent resubmission of existing data.
A good way to prevent a refresh from resubmitting altogether is to do a redirect to a result page right after you deal with the POST request. When the user presses refresh then, he/she will refresh the redirect and not the form submit.

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

Where's the button to stop loading a page?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, I can't find the button (red X) to stop loading a page. It's not where the Help says it should be.

I see that now. I guess the page I'm having a problem with is already loaded as far as the browser is concerned. It's a Verizon page that's spinning its wheels trying to load my account info. Thanks.

How do you stop printing test page everytime you turn on printer

Have psc1350 all in one. How do I stop printing test page everytime I turn the printer on.

The page that is printing is an alignment page. It will be printed after a cartridge is changed, and will continue to print when the printer is turned on if the alignment is not successful. After the alignment page prints you need to place the page face down on the scanner glass and press the "Scan" button to complete the alignment. See your user manual for details.

Select the wi-fi tab in the menu bar then select "Open Network Preferences..." Select the "Advanced" button, then select the network that it is interfering with your MBP, then hit the - button and it will "forget" that network. Hope that fixes your problem, good luck.

''locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775159 ''

Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!
