I can no longer place links to websites in the FF icon on my Windows 7 task bar, as I could with Firefox 4. Is it still possible? task bar since upgrading to Firefox 4. Can it be made possible?

With FF v.3 I could place links to oft-used websites in the right-click expanded Firefox icon on the task bar. It appears that Firefox v. 4 no longer provides for that feature. Can it be done some other way? Otherwise I have to open my FF homepage and click on a toolbar bookmark for the website.

>> Did you check what happens if you set the Task bar to be always visible?
No, because I do not want my Task bar to always be visible. I want it to auto-hide.
Firefox *is* maximized when this occurs. However, "maximized" window does not mean "cover up task bar", which is what FF is doing. I can maximize any of my other applications and still access the task bar as expected. For those applications, I did not have to hunt for special configuration files or anything else, because they are following what appears to be at the very least a UX best practice for Windows 7.
I definitely appreciate your taking the time to share the information that you have shared, and I have no doubt that your suggestions work as you have outlined. However, I'm seeking a user experience with FF in which I do not have to treat it differently than other applications in order to view my Windows task bar when its window is maximized. And I can view the taskbar with FF maximized, *sometimes*. Other times, it stops appearing indefinitely, across multiple sessions/shutdowns/etc.
(FYI, right now, I have FF maximized, and am able to view the Task bar, so I'm not currently experiencing this issue. I do not recall doing anything special to make it work.)
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to answer, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. :)

I can no longer get my MacBook to recognize the same camera (Sony DCR-SR68) I've been doing this with for the last year. I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.1 - did I make a mistake to upgrade my software ????!!!!

I am trying not lose my mind - and I won't even go into the Paralells issues.
My Grandmother just had a stroke, and I just want to get the video from some of this summer's parties with her.
Same MacBook, Same Sony DCR-SR68 Handycam, Same IMovie
The only difference is the 'new' 'upgrade'd software. The time I could be spending with my family, I am just drowning in all my computer issues
that I never had before this upgrade.
Help !

After plugging in your camcorder, I would run Software update just one more time.
I would also try to see if the app "Image Capture" doesn't see your camcorder. This is found in your applications folder but you can get to it easily by hitting command and space bar to bring up spotlight and then typing "Image Capture".
the current version of iMovie is 9.0.7
you could try creating a new user and seeing if the camera doesn't connect from there.
if it doesn't then you might need to find a friend with a compatible OS until Sony decides to update it's support for OSX.
I looked on their site but it doesn't seem like they've ever supported it with your model.
you might also want to send feedback to apple as to your experience, although their support is limited to their own hardware, so calling Sony might be a better idea...

Hello, I can no longer access my gmail account through the mail icon. When I use the icon gmail tells me my password is invalid, however when I log in through Safari I have no problems. Any suggestions?

I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help?

Since the recent Firefox update, our customers can no longer place items selected for purchase into the shopping cart; what is the cause and the fix?

Since Firefox was recently updated, customers who use Firefox as their browser can no longer place items selected at our e-commerce site into their shopping cart. We are not experiencing this problem with customers who use IE as their browser.

I created a brand new blank Captivate 6 file, applied a theme, inserted a few new slides and tried Preview. It worked! All four of the Captivate files I used in my previous testing were based on one file which hadn't been touched for two weeks. Somehow while working in the lastest file, either removing unused items from the Library or killing errors while Publishing, something somewhere got corrupted or removed. Something that all four files must have pointed to, since as soon as the latest file broke, all of the other files stopped working as well. Since the original file was inherited, I'm not even sure how to go about finding the problem. In my case, it won't be too big of a deal. I will create a clean template file and rebuild.
Thanks for your help!

I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

HT4597 I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?

iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine.

hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

I created a fillable form with FomCentral, saved it as pdf. I then uploaded it back to form formCentral and then opened it and distributed it. When I try to test the workability of the form by filling it myself and click on the submit button, I get an error message; Submission failed: This form can no longer be submitted. Please contact the author.
Note: I am using windows 8 operating system and have chrome, IE10 and firefox browsers.

When you say that "you were not getting any responses" do you mean that people told you they were submitting but you were not getting anything in the response table?
Once you delete the form in FormsCentral you automatically break all distributed PDF forms or distributed online fillable form link. You need to redistribute your new PDF form and resend your new online form's link.
