How to make browser font (not web page fonts, I know how to do that) larger? Many older people need this.
Again not web page fonts. The font for the browser itself. The font for the menu, toolbars, ect. needs to be larger. My parents are 90 and 91 years young.
Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
*Big Buttons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/big-buttons/
*Classic (Small) Toolbar Buttons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cstbb/

Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
WING
GAMES
MAJORITY
ThanksIf the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
That particular page should resemble the following:
The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.
Try it: -

Unfortunately when I click on the Dreamweaver icon to open all that happens is the Dreamweaver logo flashes on and off and nothing more happens. In addition looking at my folders all the web pages in Dreamweaver have gone and all that I can do is open them in a browser, Runs on XP?

When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache. Be sure to turn on Hidden files & folders in your Windows Explorer.

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences.

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

EDGE being used in 3G area. How many other people see this??
I'm just trying to get a feel for how many other people see this.
In the last 6 weeks or so, twice my phone has switched from 3G to EDGE when i'm in a strong 3G area. Yesterday it did it just as I was leaving work and my iPhone stayed on EDGE all the way back home, when I know that the area in question is fully covered by 3G (and my iPhone normally says 3G). Later at home I went to use the phone and noticed it had finally switched back to 3G instead of EDGE.
Is this an area issue with AT&T getting overloaded? Is this a bug in the iPhone software? Anybody else experience this periodically?
Mark.First off, it could either be an issue with AT&T's network being overloaded so it switched you to Edge, or it could be a bug in the iPhone software.
Second, are you measuring the signal strength by how many bars the iPhone shows or by the dbm numbers? The dbm numbers show the actual signal strength and the bars don't. The iPhone could have a horrible signal and still show you 3-5 bars. To see the actual dbm numbers, you have to go into the phone feature and type in "star12345#3001#star" and hit send (be sure to place the * in place of the word star). Once you do that you will enter test mode and you will notice that there are numbers in the top left instead of the bars. The numbers range from (this is not the exact range because I don't know) -55 to -117. The lower the number the stronger signal you have, once you start hitting -100 your signal is getting pretty weak. If you want to continually be able to see the dbm numbers you have to force quit out of the field test mode. If you are on 3.x firmware you have to hold the sleep button until the power off slider appears, let go of the sleep button and then hold down the home button. Once the app closes you can now tap on the top left and switch between bars and dbm numbers. -
How is it that so many of our iCloud accounts are being hacked into? Mine was and scam messages were sent to a lot of people. I even received one from someone else's hacked iCloud account.
All it takes is for one computer to be infected by a virus (obviously a PC) that sends all its contacts to the hacker's server, and then all these contacts are used as recipients to scam emails. Hackers even post stolen contacts on the web for others to use.

what can in do?Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up. -
I'm looking for a template for writing an eBook in Pages. I know about exporting to PDF but wondered if I needed a specific type of template or another software of some kind. I have an older iBook G4 (and love it BTW) and am using Pages 3.03. Anybody with any ideas on what to od? Thanks
Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard -
when I try to open certain pages like newegg.com or the like it will hang and the entire page will go black. then when I go to close the browser I can't close it in the normal fashion I have to end the task in windows task manager. This only happens when I have installed Firefox Versions 4,5 and 6. I am still using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.20 due to the web page instability that I have experienced with the newest versions. Also this will happen when I visit the Mozilla Main page as well.
I have had to go back to 3.6 because 4 - 6 will not work on half the web sites I go to. I also have the same problem with newer versions of IE. There is some thing missing in newer versions or needs to be turned on.

After the latest Firefox version magnified everything, I used the NoSquint add-on (at 60%), which now makes web pages look as they did before. However, although the top two bars at the top of the screen are of normal size, the lower ones are still too large. The bar that contains the URL on the left and a Google search space on the right, for instance, can display only the first couple of letters of a URL (after the //).
How do I make these bars look the way they used to? Thanks.Hi Anne, there is a setting in Firefox that controls the scaling of both the toolbar area and the content area. I'm guessing that you have your Windows font setting at 150%. In that case, I'm going to suggest you try to manually adjust the scaling in Firefox to 125% and then set NoSquint to 80%.
Here we go!
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''pix''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' and change its value to '''1.25''' for the equivalent of 125% font size in Windows display settings.
If you view a tab with an address bar and this is not quite right you can adjust it to a different value, such as 1.2 (120%) or 1.3 (130%).
Please do not go lower than 1.0 or everything will start to get tiny.
Once that looks right, you can go back into your NoSquint settings and up your global zoom level for content to a comfortable number.
Can you get it the way you want? -
On occasion I will roll my cursor across a bookmark and my browser will take me to that web page without me clicking on it. I've been unable to detect a pattern; it seems to happen randomly. Can someone explain why this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening? And if so, can I be given instructions how to do that?
this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] -
The web pages do not completely fill the screen at the top of my computer screen as I can see the top of my desk top page. It is opaque but still visible. I would like to have the entire screen (the bookmarks still visible along the side, of course) and not see the background of the desk top. Thank you.
Try to disable transparency in Windows, see:
*[[/questions/804050]]
Right click in a free space on your desktop.<br />
Left click on Personalization.<br />
There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".<br />
Select a border color<br />
Uncheck: "Enable transparency"<br />

Can no longer send a web page to someone's email address, want that ability back. How to fix?
Hello, I miss the little orange rectangle in the upper left corner of my mozilla firefox screens, now that I have the new version, from which I could click and it would drop a menu down with some selections, one being "share" and I could email a link for the page I was on in firefox, to someone in my email list. I use Thunderbird, by the way. Is there still a way to email links to web pages from mozilla? If not, is there a way to get the old firefox version back? Thank you much.<br>
