HOW do we get you guys (and gals) to STOP CHANGING THE INTERFACE WITHOUT AN OFF SWITCH ???? A FEATURE WITHOUT AN OFF SWITCH IS JUST ANOTHER DEFECT !!!

Every time I choose to, or am forced to, upgrade, there is at least one stupid / un-useful/ performance or usability killing change to the Interface.
Make the product better or faster but STOP making Front End changes that cannot be undone, and also please document all front-end changes and how to set them back.
Beta testers are NOT a good poll for customer assumption. I beta many programs and am always shocked and amused at just what other users think is "useful", but i NEVER would suggest a front-end change without an 'OFF SWITCH" or "Choice-seletion" - that way, everyone is happy.
I.e
1 - New download window just sucks. I don't need to see History, the left waste-of-space window, nor the waste of space that comes from NOT having a 1-lin per download display
2 - Who was the brain surgeon who decided that no one wants menus, and then did not document it - we all had to find out in web searches just what key under about:config turns off that stupid button
3 - Tools/Options .. WHERE did all the OPTIONS GO ?? There used to be pages for each tab ?
Note - this is being sent from an XP system - but the same stupid things happen on my Win7 and Linux systems

I thought this was a gateway to the programmers and did not mean to deliver my scorn and distaste to you.
no offense, but your suggestions, all of them fall into the "just accept it and move on" category - which is just NOT acceptable to me.
.. I just ran into another "improvement" in 21.0 that has my teeth on edge .. and then the automatic update-notifier, if it was aware, would wonder why I strenuously refuse to upgrade .. - Every time I upgrade, something stupid is added or something useful is removed, and the only 'official' answers are to use a 3rd party add on or just 'accept it', or spend time, a LOT of time, decompiling and recompiling old FF code and adding it back into the current version to regain the Front end I want ... which is VERY time consuming.
How does one speak to, talk to, contact, the actual programmers or Product managers of this once-wonderful tool that is now running dead last behind Opera, Chrome and Safari (which is two years old and still better than version 21).
....I just restored my original downloads window, menus AND behavior but it took a week. I sent the message that you replied to when I was just plain stuck in rebuild, with no idea what was wrong. Took my son to notice an extra paren and comma ...
PLEASE tell me how to speak to, email with or at least contact, the actual programmers or Product managers ..
thank you

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • I deleted my phone from the list after trying to back it up how can I get it back and back up my phone , the only one showing on the phone is my ipad which is synced to it

    I wanted to back up my phone as have bought a new 6 so went to settings I cloud then back up but it wouldn't turn on . I went in to view the backups and it wasn't done since September last year , then I clicked on my phone detail and made a mistake of pressing delete back up . the phone now isn't listed just my ipad which is linked to the phone . So how can I back this phone up please and perhaps restore the phone detail in backups

    Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
    You also said "I have yet to back it up."  Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
    Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes.

  • How can I get an item and it's attachments from the current list using SP's JavaScript Client Object Model on newform.aspx?

    I only recently learned/read about SharePoint's JavaScript Client Object Model. I'm reading online trying to figure this out but not having much luck.
    On newform.aspx (and dispform.aspx) I want to get the
    current list,
    the last item created, and it's attachments. I now the CAML query I need to get the last item created, but first I have to get the current list and I am not sure how to do that.
    I tried this but it returns null:
    SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList()

    Hi,
    For your issue, you can get the list name from the new form url and retrieve the list last created item :

  • How can I get mouse pressed and mouse released positions on the desktop whi

    Hello All,
    I am generating a Frame using Swing API. My requirement is I need to capture the mouse pressed and mouse released positions, whenever user drags the mouse on desktop region (i.e. outside of the Frame). I require these points to find the rectangle region user has generated starting from mouse pressed to mouse released position. I need to pass that rectangle to Robot class in order to capture that desktop region.
    Can anybody help me out how can I achieve this using java on MAC, Linux and Windows platforms?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Just want to know the hint how it can be achieved so that I can move further on that lines.
    Your thoughts ?They use JNI with the OS API.

  • I have recently bought a new netbook. all my itunes songs are stored on an external drive, however when i downloaded itunes again for the new netbook, they no longer showed in itunes. how can i get my song and podcast library over to the new netbook?

    can anyone help with this please? i feel its wrong to have to pay Apple £25 for something that should be more obvious and easier to do.

    Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
    Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
    ** Edit
    You can set the location of your music here too.

  • How do I get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to be the application used to view pics, images? It doesn't even show up in the list of "other applications".

    Image files(jeg, gif, etc) are assocaited with the picture and fax viewer in the files options but firefox doesn't see the app, even inthe open with other list

    The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.<br />
    You need to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows.<br />
    Then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.<br />
    You can look at an alternative program for viewing images:
    * Irfan View - http://www.irfanview.com/

  • How do I get printer margins and resolution

    How do I get printer margins and dots per inch for the so-called default printer that is attached to my computer (and possible the less critical paper size)

    Thanks for your trying it. I learned from you that prinJob.pageDialog() sees the physical limitations on the margins.
    I found in the docs: "When creating a Paper object, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that the paper size and the imageable area are compatible".
    It seems that most of this stuff is the program telling the printer.
    I want the printer to tell the program two critical sets of data: the minimum margins and the resolution.
    Thanks again, I really appreciate your efforts, and learning one more thing.
    Here is my try. Sorry about the long lines.
        PrinterJob prinJob=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat pgFmt = prinJob.defaultPage();       
        System.out.println("old iW="+pgFmt.getImageableWidth()+" iH="+pgFmt.getImageableHeight()+" iY="+pgFmt.getImageableX()+" iX="+pgFmt.getImageableY());
        PageFormat newPgFmt = prinJob.pageDialog(pgFmt); //min: l=.226(16.272pt),r=.273,t=.25(18pt),b=.25 so wid=8.0(576pt), hgt=10.5(756pt)
        System.out.println("new iW="+newPgFmt.getImageableWidth()+" iH="+newPgFmt.getImageableHeight()+" iY="+newPgFmt.getImageableX()+" iX="+newPgFmt.getImageableY());
        Paper pap = newPgFmt.getPaper(); //pageDialog() seems to get the physical printer correctly approx agreeing with MSWord
        System.out.println("pap wid="+pap.getWidth()+" hgt="+pap.getHeight()+" iX="+pap.getImageableX()+" iY="+pap.getImageableY()+" iW="+pap.getImageableWidth()+" iH="+pap.getImageableHeight());
        pap.setImageableArea(0,0,72*8.5,72*11.0); //this allows programmer to set it incorrectly
        System.out.println("pap wid="+pap.getWidth()+" hgt="+pap.getHeight()+" iX="+pap.getImageableX()+" iY="+pap.getImageableY()+" iW="+pap.getImageableWidth()+" iH="+pap.getImageableHeight());
        newPgFmt.setPaper(pap);
        System.out.println("new iW="+newPgFmt.getImageableWidth()+" iH="+newPgFmt.getImageableHeight()+" iY="+newPgFmt.getImageableX()+" iX="+newPgFmt.getImageableY());

    To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over.  To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  There is no other way to do this.
    Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.
