How do you set a default screen size for safari windows to open at ?

Hi guys, I'm running my mac mini through a 50 inch plasma. I really like that safari opens the browser at a size that's just big enough to fit the page you are viewing to; but annoyingly my flatmate keeps changing the window size to full screen. I don't like this and have tried to play around with the settings so that it opesn in a default size every time but have been unable to do so.
If anyone has any suggestions it'd be greatly apreciated as this seemingly stupid problem is realllllly annoying me.
Cheers,
AJ

Evict your flatmate.

  • How do you set a default home page for tabs

    Default home page setting is easy enough but when clicking the "+" to open a tab I want to set the page that it defauts to. You would think that it would do the default home page but it doesn't and I cant find where to set it.

    Troubleshooting tips on the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also beware of features in utility programs like Advanced SystemCare that roll back settings changes between sessions.
    If bad add-ons do not have a Remove button or keep coming back, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning them up. I know this seems long, but it's not that bad.
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    * in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • How do you set a default format property for a formula defined in the AWM?

    Is there a way to define a default format property for a formula that I create in the AW?
    For example, if I define a formula in AW I can assign it a datatype of decimal. But what property do I need to add if want that formula to by DEFAULT always display a certain way, regardless if I use the Discover Plus with OLAP option or OracleBI Spreadsheet Addin?
    Example: want to display it by default, in the AW cube, as being associated to a format of 00.0000 or 00.0000% or $###,##0.00 etc. This way, no mater what tool I use to view the cube, it will by default inherit my default format (set in the AW).
    Thanks.

    Okay, but if I use the out-of-the-box products Oracle provides (ie: Discover Plus with Olap, and the OracleBI Spreadsheet Addin) I still dont understand what my solution is?
    The only other solution we tried was to create formulas using AWM template files. The issue here is trying to find out what property syntax needs to be added to the XML code, so that my formula, by default, is associated to a certain formating style (ie: 00.00). And then when you reference that formula in those out-of-the-box Oracle products, it displays as expected.

    A few days ago I printed some envelopes and now when I print from some programs, the print page size has remained the envelope size.  I want to print from any program on letter size paper without changing the settings every time.
    Thanks

  • Running Mavericks - How do you change the default zoom level in safari

    How do you set the default zom level in Safari when running the new Mavericks OS X 10.9, so every page opened doesn't have to be zoomed individually?

    Take a look at this page from Version Tracker (I typed in "Safari search" and there seems to be a range of possibilities.)
    http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=safari +search&plt%5B%5D=macosx&x=0&y=0

  • Want to set a default zoom level for safari?  Here's how you do it.

    If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
    1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
    2) copy and paste in the following:
    body {
    zoom: 130%;
    change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
    3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
    4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect.
    Voila. Hope that helps someone.

    Yes you are right!
    This CSS zooming is a crude hack. I think it basically treats a web page like a pdf document where you just enlarges everything.
    When you zoom manually, safari does a smarter sort of zoom where it enlarges but tries to keep widths of the elements the same size, reflowing text where needed and scrolling only when necessary.
    If the web page has a fixed size that is smaller than your browser window, like this forum, css zoom works ok. But with a page like gmail, which has no width constraint, you get into trouble.
    Hmm, wait, I just checked out wiki, which also uses up all available screen real estate, but does NOT have this problem.
    Notice in gmail, even if you zoom way out below what should be 100%, the login is still off the screen. The font gets real small but the width of the page stays the same. The css zoom basically "sticks" and isn't completely reversible.
    Bottom line: you have to decide which is more annoying: having to hit Ctrl+ for every tab you open, or running into some problematic pages.
    On Windows, I use autohotkey (a kdb and mouse macro scripting program) to switch off the CSS on the fly when I need to. I think Mac has similar capability built in, right? If I were really clever, I guess I could program autohotkey to send a few ctrl+ whenever it detects a new window or tab in safari, but I'm not there yet.
    Bottom bottom line: Apple needs to add this feature. It's a pretty basic accessibility feature. Doesn't Apple have like an accessibility guru/advocate?

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • How do I set a default page size?

    When Firefox opens, pages are displayed in about 1/3 the size of the screen. I would like to be able to set a default display size for all pages, in the same manner that I can set a default zoom in Google Chrome.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

    thanks!

    ...You may increase the memory heap only when you're launching a new JVM.>Much like IWantToBeBig does.
    OTOH, it this is an app. with a GUI, it is easier to launch it using webstart, and request extra memory in the JNLP descriptor (the webstart launch file).

  • How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

    gurus,
    i'm using -
    Oracle 9i Database
    Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
    QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
    i did the following to achieve this -
    1. logged into portal
    2. clicked on builder
    3. clicked on administer tab
    4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
    5. went to the preferences tab
    6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
    7. logged out of portal
    8. open a new browsere session
    9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
    i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
    the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
    Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
    Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
    The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
    buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
    sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
    ideas anyone ....?
    thanx a bunch.
    hero

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.
    Regards,

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.
