Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned ico in taskbar causes Windows Explorer to crash.

Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned icon in taskbar (right click, choose "New Private Window") causes Windows Explorer to crash almost everytime, but not always. Very odd.
Didn´t happen with previous versions of Firefox.
Firefox 22.0, Win 7 Ultimate with all updates applied.

Hello Paul,
That's a very odd behavior indeed. All I can think of is that an add-on is confused and makes Firefox crash. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Starting the nzrView in listen mode from the command line...

I want to be able to start the nzrViewer in listen mode when I log into windows and then be able to accept an invite for a collaboration session. When I added a shortcut to the "nzrViewer.exe /listen 5550" to my Startup Folder, it launches the Remote Listener just fine, but when I someone invites me to collaborate a Remote Session, I get an error message "Ticket not provided for Rights Authentication."
I believe that the problem is when I launch the Viewer from the command line, I'm not authenticated to the Zen server, so it can't verify my Rights.
Does anyone have a better way to do this? Or do I have to log into ZCC and launch the "Remote Management Listener" from there?

There has been some updates in the documentation for 10.2.2 about remote control from cmd line.
Check it out, maybe there is a solution to your problem.

Is it possible to script Firefox to do things from the command line?

Specifically, I am attempting to print a web page at a specific url from the command line.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had already seen the page you linked to, but it doesn't have any commands to print a web page. Should I interpret from that absence that there isn't a way to print from Firefox from the command line?

How can I package an HTML5 panel from the command line?

I am able to use the Eclipse Extension Builder plugin to export a ZXP file, but for our build process we will need to do this from the command line. Is this possible?

Edit: Adobe has fixed the links and the downloads are now available.
The links to the Windows downloads do not seem to be active anymore. Is there somewhere else we can get these?

How do i create a database template from the command line?

Hi,
As part of implementing a backup and recovery strategy for a client (including disaster recovery) I want to automate the creation of a database template From an Existing Database (Structure as well as data) via a script that will run every night.
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
The idea is that nightly we will run a script that creates a database template from the Existing Database (Structure as well as data) and then transfers the 2 files involved e.g. DB_data_included.dbc and DB_data_included.DFB across to a standby server where they can be used to recreate the database in the event of us needing to after e.g. a complete server failure.
So I have a couple of questions about this that I would be very grateful if something could answer for me:
1)     Is it possible? That is, can a database template be created from some utility by supplying a series of parameter=value pairs on the command line?
2)     If yes how do I go about it, what utility do I use (the emca utility?). and what parameters do I need to supply on the command line to create the template?
3)     The intention is that the script to create the template will run in the early hours of the morning when no-one is using the database but what state does the database need to be in when the template creation script runs i.e. up, down, mounted and does the creation of a template affect the state of an already up database i.e. if I kick off the template creation script and the database is up will it switch it into mount mode or anything like that? My concern here is that I want to make sure I understand exactly what is going on so that no users or connected external systems are affected?
Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to guide me on what to do or what documentation to read.
Also if you require any clarification on what i'm asking please post up your query and i'll respond ASAP.
Kind Regards,

Sybrandb,
Firstly thanks for you reponse.
However, I don’t agree that dbca only creates empty databases otherwise why does the option to create a template from an existing database (structure as well as data) exist in the dbca wizard?
I have performed a test case where I have a created a database template including data on one 10g server. I have then used the files generated to recreate that database on a separate server. When the new database is started it is an exact copy of the original. So it’s not empty at all , it’s exactly what the client wants.
So I don’t agree that I’m gaining zero.
Why is this approach doomed to fail?
There a number of reasons why I “just set up a proper standby database”
1.     Time – I’m on a customer site in a tight engagement where the customer wants maximum value for money. I don’t have standby database skills and the customer isn’t willing to pay for me to learn on the job so please understand the tight circumstances I’m working in.
2.     Availability – As far as I know the client is running 10.2.0.3.0 standard edition. Correct me if I’m wrong but is standby db available in that edition. Where do I look to check V$OPTION.
On the RMAN duplicating a database front it’s an area I haven’t used before but I will take a look at it.
Also please revisit the context of my original posting where I state
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
So please understand that this a quick fix that the client wants developed in the minimum time possible in ADDITION to a full nightly RMAN backup being taken.
In an ideal world I’d have the time to follow best practice but in the real world of on-site customer support I just need to get the job done operating under the customer imposed constraints.
Many Thanks,

How do I reset Safari (clear cache) from the command line?

I have a macmini that runs in Safari in kiosk mode. I would like to be able to ssh into it and clear the browser cache. I don't have access to the system via a keyboard or mouse. Which files do I need to edit? Do I need to restart Safari after I make changes?

How do I start firefox in safe mode on a Mac as the equivalent of holding option key whilst starting doesn't open dialogue on Mac?

I am trying to reset toolbars and am following firefox's help instructions. How do I start firefox in safe mode on a Mac as the equivalent of holding option key whilst starting doesn't open a dialogue box on the Mac?

Thanks Morbus.. I hadn't noticed that but it was already set at Mac. I tried it again and it worked this time... but alas my main problem persists:
My back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox and I've lost all of my bookmarks! I've tried a few of the suggestions but without success at the moment.
Particularly unhelpful are the instructions to back-up your lost bookmarks - which I can't do cos they're lost!!

I use Session Manger and love this add on. Now for some reason I must start Firefox in Safe Mode and then close it and then reopen normally and it appears that session manger is causing this problem. How do I fix this??

I suddenly need to start Firefox in Safe Mode or it will not open. The problem after deleting extensions and adding profiles appears to be Session Manager which I have been using successfully for along time and really enjoy its usefulness. is there a fix to this problem?? Thank you.

I'm not using that extension, so I do not know which files are used in addition to sessionstore.js and you need to check the profile folder yourself for suspect files.
This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] 
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

Your site recommended that I start Firefox in "safe mode," but despite following the steps, I could not do so, why?

I have used Firefox as my browser for more than seven years, maybe ten.
After the two recent "updates" over the last six weeks or two months, Firefox has been horrible.
It constantly hangs and crashes, cannot access certain basic website, slows start-up, use, and shutdown, and, according to AVG, is using massive memory. Two weeks ago, AVG actually came out and directly recommended that Firefox be completely disabled.
I tried the Firefox recommendation to reset Firefox to default settings. It didn't work.
I tried the Firefox recommendation to start Firefox in "safe mode." But despite following their instructions as to how to do so, I could not start Firefox in safe mode; it just bounced back to the recommendation page.
It seems that Firefox has destroyed itself, and made itself completely unusable as a browser.
At this point, I see little alternative to removing Firefox completely from my computer and changing to Internet Explorer as my browser.
Has anyone had a similar experience, and similar problems, or does anyone have any ideas as to how I can try to salvage Firefox and restore it as a usable browser? Thanks to all who have any comments or ideas.

Please update to the current Firefox 33.1.1 release.

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode j

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

Is there a way to change the hotkey for starting firefox in safe-mode?

The current default hotkey is shift. Holding it when starting firefox will start it in safe mode (true story). My super duper favorite handy windows hotkey for starting programs pinned to the task bar in windows 7 is windows_key + shift + #, and that conflicts with the firefox setting, and i always end up starting firefox in safe mode because im that lazy.

Greetings!
I'm an irssi user, and I have awesome mouse gesture addon for it, and I'm afraid I can't live without it anymore.. But it requires Shift key for opening links, therefore Firefox, as my default browser, always starts in Safe mode :(
I'm not a programmer, easiest workaround would be modifying the irssi addon, but I suck on that, too.
If there's a way to bypass Safe Mode in Firefox, or at least a way to change the Shift key to something else, that would make my miserable life a tad easier.

How I can set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line in Windows 7?

I need to set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line, ie without using the GUI.

'''-setDefaultBrowser''' is the correct command - you need the two capital letters.
Why Firefox 17.0.1? You would be missing a number of important security updates. Firefox 17.0.'''9''' is the current ESR release version.
