I changed the "keyword url" setting in about:config to allow it to be used as a google search box, but when I exit and restart firefox it reverts to its previous setting.

chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties
This is the URL that is in "keyword:URL" in about:config in my Firefox 4. I attempted to change it to http://www.google.ie/search?q= so as to use the address bar as a search bar. It works fine while Firefox remains open, but when I exit and come back later to open Firefox and use the address bar for search items I find that it has reverted to the default setting.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

When I set my home page and restart Firefox, it reverts to iMesh, an inadequate search engine. How do I get it to retain the home page I set? I said yes when it asked.

I go to Google, drag it to the home page icon and then acknowledge by clicking yes. When I restart Frfirefox it goes back to imesh.

while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happened

You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

Cursor is in URL field, not (Google) search box

This problem is referred to on so many forums, but after half the afternoon going from site to site trying out suggestions, I haven't been able to fix it...
When I open Firefox (Google is my homepage), the cursor is in the Google search box, but if I open more tabs, the cursor is always in the URL field. Why would anyone want that?
I have tried restarting Firefox with all my addons disabled, and tried using extensions like NewTabURL 2.2.3, but the problem is there just the same. Has anyone found a definitive way to fix this?
Thanks!

First, please update to the latest version of Firefox. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Currently this is the default behavior to have the cursor in the url bar when you open a new tab. However there has been another add on that has been suggested in the past: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-cursor/?src=search]

After updating to 4.0 stable today, FF reports it is in offline mode and can't open pages! I've checked the work offline boolean in about:config, it is set to false as it should be. !?!?

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the about:config page or via extensions.

Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.

How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend

How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.

Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?
GG

In the URL bar, type about:config Type geo.enabled Double click on the geo.enabled preference Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled, does not work How do you turn this Off!

In the URL bar, type about:config
Type geo.enabled
Double click on the geo.enabled preference
Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
Google will not remove their location aware feature saying it is picked up by the location aware feature in my firefox browser and referred me to your like where I found the above to disable this feature. It just sent me to a yahoo search page. How do you disable this I want to use US Google not Google.ua and you don't need this to help me locate anything in the Ukraine. When I take my laptop with me on trips does my firefox local change wherever I go?

The Keyword.URL function keeps resetting to a different value.

I just downloaded Firefox 4, and normally what I would in Firefox 3.6, I would type a keyword in the URL bar. And it comes up saying that I'm searching using:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I don't know where that came from, so I opened about:config, went to keyword.URL and switched to Google.
Okay, it works now. I exit it, and I later on opened it back up. I put in a word again. The same thing came up from when I started:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I try fixing it again. It works now.
It seems the problem is the keyword.URL value keeps resetting, but I don't know how it got "jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties" to appear on it.
So, is this just a bug on Firefox 4, or am I just the only one experiencing it? And if so, how can I solve this problem?
I know I have like two other search engines available for use on my browser, but I mostly use the URL bar to search. Any solutions?

How can we get someone from Mozilla to correctly answer these questions instead of people like us? No offence, but there are different answers to this question all over the net and none of them are right. It is frustrating enough at time to drop Firefox altogether.

Podcast is having issues since I changed the feed url

Ever since I changed the feed url for my podcast in itunes I have problems with the feed not working properly.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=157571623
When I try to download random files or episodes in this podcast it wont download in itunes. I get an error code (-50) saying it could be a network problem. But if I go to the direct feed url which is this in safari browser. I can click on the mp3 link and it plays just fine. Then after doing that I can go back into itunes and click "get" on the exact same file that wasnt downloading earlier and now it downloads. Very odd. Once that is done all files in itunes download without any problems. I thought it was just something wrong with my itunes. But it only happens for my feed when I subscribe to it. I tried it on my windows system in itunes and having the exact same problem. I called a couple people up and its happeing with them in itunes also. When one of us accesses the feed by way other than itunes it will then work for awhile then go back to not working again. It started happening when I changed the url in itunes to have it point to the feedburner url. Im having the issue right now as a matter of fact. I cant even listen to the preview of each episode. Maybe someone can try the itunes feed and check it out for me. Any ideas?
Its frustrating. Im wondering if I need to just submit a new podcast to itunes.
PS: I posted this in itunes for windows, Im using both mac and windows. Its not specific to either OS.

Im pretty sure the problem has been resolve. We own both the .org and the .com extensions of our website. The primary being the .org and a redirect if a user goes to the .com address. I use feeder to create the podcast feeds and it has an autofill feature in it. Somewhere along the line on the enclosures I inputed the .com address instead of .org. Why the redirect works just fine in most feed readers. Apparently itunes doesnt support it. One of the users in the feedburner forum picked up on this. I corrected all the enclosure urls to .org as they should be and everything so far works fine.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order

Description
Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order of all lists that
* contain folder content types
* and have a custom content type order
* where a folder content type is the first content type in order.
Reproducible behaviour
1. Create a Team Site in Sharepoint
2. Create a Task List "Test" on the Team Site
3. Go to List Settings
4. The Content Type order is by default
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
5. Change the Content Type Order to
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
6. Go To Site Settings "Title, description and icon"
7. Change the Site Url
8. Go To List "Test" List Settings
9. The Content Type order now is
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
10. Select "Change New button order and default content type"
11. Here, the Content Type order still is
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
Is this a bug? Has anyone noticed this behaviour before?
Kind Regards,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
You are not missing something or doing something wrong. i Hope :). This behavior is reproductible.
The granularity of change is better by Powershell. But by the interface is most user-friendly.
Maybe that's the reason of this behavior.

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop and my desktop, do i have to wait until I enroll again or do I have to purchase the product again in order to put it on another computer?

Well that does change the story. If you purchased a PC version of CS6, the license is PC only. It can only be installed on a second PC for your own use.
If you buy a Mac, you would either buy another $350 copy of Photoshop Mac, or agree to a swap, that is exchange the PC license for a Mac license, giving up all rights to the PC license.
If you have the disposable income for it, get a $350 Photoshop Extended Mac license as well.

I changed the "keyword url" setting in about:config to allow it to be used as a google search box, but when I exit and restart firefox it reverts to its previous setting.
