How to fix a major conflict of Firefox with LG monitor running Dual Smart screen control.

PC: Dell Dimension E510 with MS windows XP professiona, Version 2002, Service Pack 3
Intel(R), Pentium (R) D CPU 2.8 GHz, 1.0 GB Ram.
I have a new 23" LG monitor (23EN43T). LG's software for managing screen displays is called Dual Smart Solution, which works great except with Firefox! The Firefox screen immediately goes to more than 100% of the available screen space. I can't even exit Firefox without using Cntrl-Alt-Delete. I then uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox, but that didn't solve the problem.
To get around this problem I have to use Internet Explorer.

Firefox may be restoring the last used window dimensions based on a no-longer-relevant monitor configuration. You could try removing a settings file and see whether Firefox better detects your setup on the next restart.
With Firefox closed, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder. Paste this into the Search box on the Start menu or in the address bar of Windows Explorer:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
If you find multiple folders, open the one that was most recently updated.
Rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old (in case you want to recover it later)
Restart Firefox. Does it position itself more logically?
By the way, you should be able to exit Firefox "blind" using either of the following keyboard combinations:
* Alt+F4 (general "close window" combination on Windows)
* Alt+F, then X (keyboard shortcut for File > Exit)

How to fix Spry Menu bar and Firefox with a Mac

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox with tags?

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox Bookmarks Organizer so the tags port over? I tried importing but the tags are not coming over.

I recommend Xmarks. For the long-winded reasons why there's nothing better, read below.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/]
# Once installed, run the setup wizard and sign up for a free Xmarks account.
# Once signed up, sync your bookmarks.
# Head over to [http://my.xmarks.com/ my.xmarks.com/] and click the '''Tools''' menu option on the page, then choose '''Import Bookmarks From Del.icio.us...'''
# Enter your del.icio.us login information so Xmarks can import your bookmarks.
# You should see a list of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Click the '''CHECK ALL''' button, then the '''IMPORT CHECKED ITEMS''' button.
# When Xmarks next syncs your bookmarks, you will have all of your del.icio.us bookmarks complete with tags, in a folder named "Imported from Delicious ''date of import''".
# If you're the untrusting sort, change your del.icio.us account password.
There are two official Delicious extensions at the moment. "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious Bookmarks]" which not compatible with Firefox 4.0.x, and "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-extension/ Delicious Extension]" which is marked as compatible but doesn't actually work.
@u48998 |
Slurp didn't work for me. I got all the prompts like I was supposed to, but clicking the '''Export''' button on the delicious page changed its text to '''Please Wait...''' and it just got stuck like that with no way to continue.
Apart from that, I was rather uneasy about installing an unreviewed extension from an author I've never heard of.
@the-edmeister |
You have that backwards. It's Firefox that does not either import or export tags from or to bookmarks.html. The only way to preserve tags when exporting is to create a json backup; these types of files wipe out all existing bookmarks when imported.

How to fix -In Windows 8.1, Firefox seems to revert to desktop not Start page, when it is closed.

Windows 8 seems to be running on two systems - the desktop (which is just like windows 7), and the start page. Is there a way to integrate Firefox into the start page system? It does open it, but closes out the the desktop. (We are longtime Firefox users, and don't want to use IE, so will just work around it, but it just seems a little disjointed.)

I don't know whether this is a Firefox-specific problem or a problem with "traditional" Windows apps in general. Do other programs you start from the desktop close and display the Start page the way you prefer?

If yes it is IMAP, check your server settings:
* Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders for imap mail account.
* Select: 'Place a copy in'
* Select; 'Other' and the 'Sent folder on the imap mail account.
note the 'Sent' folder on the server might be called 'Sent Items' or similar.
Re Archives, Drafts and Templates:
If you want to use the folders on the server...
* Select: 'Other' and the Archives folder on the imap mail account
* Select: 'Other' and the Drafts folder on the imap mail account
* Select: 'Other' and the Templates folder on the imap mail account
note: some people like to store their Archives in Local Folders.
So you would need to create an 'Archives folder in Local Folders and choose 'Other' and 'Archives' fodler on Local Folders.
click on OK to save changes to Account Settings.

Firefox will not open from any icons or shortcuts. I do not know how to fix it. Help, please. firefox 3.6.14, windows vista home premium. Thank you, dustyantique

This is not a new download, it has been working well for longer than a year.

Thank you Cor-el, for your help. Not being the smartest pup in the litter I found it a bit overwhelming but there is a glimmer of success. I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded the latest version. In doing so the update seems to have corrected the problem. Again, thank you for your help. dustyantique

How to fix permission denied for home folder with Apache in Mavericks?

I recently activated the apache that ships with OS X Mavericks. I followed some tutorial to set up the web-server, however. When I browse to my home-filter at http://localhost/~nazeem, I get the following error: You don't have permission to access /~nazeem/ on this server.
Installation steps
To set up the webserver, I took the following steps:
1. activated the webserver with command: apachectl start
2. enabled PHP by checking if the module is loaded
3. checked if the home folder module is loaded
4. made the user based configuration file, in /etc/apache2/users/nazeem.conf The content is as follows:
<Directory "/Users/nazeem/Development/Websites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Permissions
~/nazeem : drwxr-xr-x+ ~/nazeem/Development : drwxr-xr-x ~/nazeem/Development/Websites : drwxr-xr-x
Log
The apache log says the following:
[Mon May 19 21:22:57 2014] [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /Users/nazeem/Sites
In my opinion this is remarkable, as the path /Users/nazeem/Sites is nog what I defined in my user configuration.
Versions
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
Apache 2.2.26
Does anybody know how to solve this?

You will have to contact the author of that tutorial and ask. Apache can be configured an infinite number of ways. You seem to be attempting to configure it in two conflicting methods. You can define specific directories on your web server or you can use mod_userdir. You can't hack up a combination of the two.
I posted my own User Tip on how to configure Apache: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3083
This user tip only covers mod_userdir and will serve content out of $(HOME)/Sites. I strongly suggest starting there and only trying a custom location later, if you see the need.

How can I move new tabs in Firefox 4 from the top of the screen to their previous position under the links?

With the new version, my tabs for open windows are now displayed at the top of my screen and I find it very inconvenient. When I try to move them down, they are copied instead and then are in two places. How can I set up Firefox to put the tabs in the original (old) position automatically?

Right-click a bit right of the "new tab" button with symbol "+" and uncheck "Tabs on the top" (or something like that, I use another language). That should do it.

Can anyone explain how to fix this? The server responded with "502" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

I repeatedly get this error message for iCal whenever I am on line:
The server responded with "502 to operation CalDAV Account refresh queaeable operation." How can this be fixed.

Open up iCal Preferences and select the 'Accounts' tab. What accounts do you have listed there? Do you know what they all are? Do you use them all? If there are any that you know you don't use then remove them. If you don't know what they are then unclick 'Enable this account' and see if it makes any difference, not just to the problem but to how you use iCal. If you lose data then you need that account. It might be worth noting the details of that account then removing it and recreating it. You could also try changing the refresh frequency so that if you can't remove the problem totally then at least it won't bother you so often.
