How the hell do I choose and install plugins now in FF4? It was easy in FF3, but now it seems so clunky. What happened?

What ever happened to just going to the add-ons page on the Firefox website from Firefox and then choosing the plugin section? Am I stupid...or is it now really, really clunky to install new plugins?? One would think that in the plugin page in the FF4 browser you have a way to add more plugins...but I can't find it.

Yeah...the first two are what I'm used to. I admit, I too can get to those pages but I was just ranting about how you really can't readily get to those pages without having to memorize or bookmark the url. It was so convenient in prior iterations of FF, but with the new one it seems like you're just left out if you don't know what you're looking for. I'm just surprised it was taken out, because I don't see the the disadvantage of leaving it in.
Thanks, though. I'm still think I'm missing something.

    This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

  • How the hell does a person share session data between JSP page and a Servle

    1. How the hell does one share session data between a servlet and a JSP page without using a bean but rather using a normal string variable.
    2. When using session scope to access a bean the application complains about not finding the bean on the specified scope, however when I use an application scope the save the same bean, the application does find it.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    For a start, just "session" instead of "request.session" would work better. But why did you post this here and not in the JSP forum? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Java programming.

    contact your local sales representative.
    You don't need a serial number to install LabVIEW.
    Registration is optional.
    Activation is needed after the evaluation period.
    Install it without number and it will work for a limited time (30days?) in evaluation mode, giving you plenty of time to decide if you want to buy it.

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive. 

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

  • Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes.  iTunes does not "see" the devise.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

    Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista).  iTunes does not "see" the device.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.  Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

    OK.  You merely erased the content and settings.  The IOS is still there.
    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures.  From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

  • How to inspect AUR package PKBUILD and .install files

    Hi,
    Linux and arch newbie here. I was reading the wiki article about the AUR and noticed this bit:
    Warning: Carefully check all files. cd to the newly created directory and carefully check the PKGBUILD and any .install file for malicious commands. PKGBUILDs are bash scripts containing functions to be executed by makepkg: these functions can contain any valid commands or Bash syntax, so it is totally possible for a PKGBUILD to contain dangerous commands through malice or ignorance on the part of the author. Since makepkg uses fakeroot (and should never be run as root), there is some level of protection but you should never count on it. If in doubt, do not build the package and seek advice on the forums or mailing list.
    This is something that have not been doing at all in the past, but I am trying to improve my practices managing my system.
    The problem is, I do not know what exactly I am looking at or for in these files. If I give these files a look over before installing the package, can I honestly expect to spot something malicious? What would I need to learn to notice if something was fishy?
    Anyway, I am not to worried about this practically, because I only use a handful of AUR packages and I usually install ones based on recommendations, not just at random. But it still seemed interesting for the wiki to stress this so strongly. How important is this guidline anyway?
    Thanks!
    [EDIT: spelling]
    Last edited by supernerd (2014-06-25 10:41:13)

    I scan the whole PKGBUILD. I start by ensuring that the source link to the original source looks accurate. For example, take the source line for gmusicbrowser-git:
    source=("${pkgname}::git+http://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser.git")
    I know this is the correct link to the source, and so it passes my check. But suppose it had said:
    source=("${pkgname}::git+http://youvebeenhackedhub.com/1337haxorz/gmusicbrowser.git")
    I would become suspicious. Of course this is an exaggeration, but common sense goes a long ways here. At least check the first time..
    With the source verified, I ensure that the md5sum or sha256sum block has a sum. This way, if a download is compromised at the source, the sha256 or md5sum can catch it before you installed (this assumes that the PKGBUILD is not "bad" and has the sum number of a package that wasnt compromised). Note that with git this isnt necessary (the git process protects against such problems). Anytime a tarball is downloaded and extracted however, the sums should be present in the PKGBUILD. If I go to install an AUR package that has 'SKIP' for the md5sum/sha256sum block, I will double or triple check the source of the tarball (or of the patch files enclosed in the build directory, etc..)
    I also look for any "dangerous" commands in the build and install sections. For example, if I see "rm -rf" I had better see something like $pkgdir to start the directory path or be VERY sure the path is "safe". Since makepkg is not run as root this should theoretically not be a problem, but imagine if someone put "rm -rf /home/*" (warning: do not run that command on your system!) in there! This is mostly common sense; in time as you get more comfortable with bash and various linux commands it will make more and more sense and you will be able to spot mistakes.
    Also, consider the user posting the pkgbuild. "Trusted Users" are selected as trustworthy members of the community, so obviously you can feel much more comfortable with PKGBUILDS they have made (Xyne comes to mind..). For people you may not know, check what other PKGBUILDs they have available. After awhile, you develop a trust for certain people whos PKGBUILDs or software you have used. For example, I wouldnt hesitate to build/install using a PKGBUILD put up by BurntSushi since I use some of his software, have personally corresponded with him, and find him to be responsible. You might "develop" such rapport with other AUR users I dont even know about.
    Consider the vote count of a package as an approximate metric. Dont discount a package because it has 0 votes- it may just be that not many people have use for that particular software. Ive considered hosting a PKGBUILD for "xfce4-terminal-nowindowhints"; consider that tilers generally ignore them anyway, and that my package would only be useful for someone literally using xfce4-terminal with pytyle. How high do you think the vote count would be (even if the PKGBUILD had 0 errors)? On the other hand, you at least have a good chance the PKGBUILD is solid if the package has 354 people voting for it.. That said, the package could have been well-maintained before (when it received a ton of votes), and the quality has dropped since- just be mindful of these trends.
    Finally, adding all of these things together will leave the odds of a malicious PKGBUILD affecting your system pretty slim, though its certainly not impossible. I have never (to my knowledge to be fair) encountered a malicious PKGBUILD, though I have found a few that had errors or outdated sources, etc.
