How to hide open windows with one swipe so i can see my desktop clear, as it was in snow leopard?

Hi, this was one very handy feature which I can not find now in Lion and kinda frustraits me. When I wanted to go strait to a clear desktop to open a folder, while being on another window, I had to swipe three fingers up (I think). Now trying swipe up, down, whatever, I got different showing of all opened windows, the one which says desktop though when clicking on it, brings the current window. Is it me or Lion is missing that? thanx

Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

I get a dialog box with a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be open at one time.

I get a dialog box with the following: "a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be opened at one time."
I do not see where firefox is open.
How do get back into firefox so that i can read the links that are in my emails?
Thank you.

Sometimes when FF is closing, not all of it shuts down properly.
On Windows, start the '''Task Manager''' (Other systems may have
different names and / or commands). Select '''Processes'''.
Look down the list for Firefox. Right click and select '''End Task'''.
If this problem keeps coming up, ask for more help.

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

Closing all folders and subfolders within a window with one command

In list view, is there a way to close all folders and subfolders within a window with one command, instead of having to close each individually?
Thanks!

Thanks, all, for your feedback, but no cigar, yet:
- opening folders with "option" is possible but problematic
- none of this solves the question of closing all the folders and subfolders within a window in one shot.
Any better solution would be appreciated.
Thanks!

How to hide main window in JavaFX 2.0

I want to hide application window in JavaFX 2.0, calling hide() on Stage object terminate application. How to hide main window and left application running?
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SysTray extends Application {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Application.launch(SysTray.class, args);
     @Override
     public void start(final Stage s) throws Exception {
          Group rootGroup=new Group();
          Scene scene=new Scene(rootGroup, 800, 600);
          s.setScene(scene);
          Button hide=new Button("hide");
          hide.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(ActionEvent paramT) {
                    s.hide();
          BorderPane mainPane=new BorderPane();
          mainPane.setCenter(hide);
          scene.setRoot(mainPane);
          s.setVisible(true);
}

That's interesting. I just checked and it looks like http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/stage/Stage.html#close%28%29 is also an alias for setVisible(false);
A little weird that they would have two aliases for such a thing. I'm guessing that setVisible isn't supposed to end the application, but what with JavaFX still being in Beta, the given functionality is acting as a placeholder. Maybe you should check [url http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/]Jira to see if this is already an issue. If not, you should probably file it to make sure.

Can't open Firefox. When I try to open, a window pops saying "Close Firefox" and "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.", and doesn't allow the application to open.

Came home to find computer restarted, which I assume is an automatic Firefox update.
When I try to open Firefox, window pops up saying "Close Firefox" and, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
I'm unable to open the program at this time, lots of critical work info stored there - please help. Thx.

Thanks

If the emails have been previously deleted (I.e. in the trash folder), tap Edit at the top of the list. You should see a delete all button at the bottom. If the messages are in a standard folder, they need to be handled one at a time.

Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.
