I'd like to make a suggestion to Firefox for tablets

I have been a long time user of FireFox on my PC's, and truly love it. It is stable and all in all concrete, no matter the update. But when I surf the web on my iPad I use a browser called Mercury. What is great about Mercury, is you can activate a side tool bar that can be moved around the screen. For example, I am right handed, and when I hold my pad, my hands generally sit around the middle edge of the screen. By activating the side tool bar, I have the back, close tab and refresh buttons right there at my right thumb. This is great, so that if I'm refreshing a forum page, I don't have to constantly go to the top of the page. Or if I'm finished reading an article, I can click the close tab button, taking me back to my main forum page (I open threads in separate tabs).
Well, as of yesterday, I have purchased and started using the Lenovo Helix, with Windows 8, and of course the first program I installed on my new laptop/tablet was Firefox. I even began using sync for the very first time ever between the tablet and my PC (amazing feature! Great work folks!). But I have to reach to the top of the page each time I want to refresh, go back or close a tab. Again, I'll make concessions because this is Firefox and I'm a huge fan, but I thought if I could give a suggestion it would be to include the ability to turn on a side bar, like Mercury for when people use these devices in tablet mode.
Just so you know, with a bit of playing I made a few changes that do help. By customizing the tool bar, I moved the forward and back buttons, the refresh and stop buttons to the bottom right hand corner of the page, in the add-on's bar. This is much more efficient, but still, having those icons at my thumb in the middle of the page would be great! If you have an iPad available, I'd install Mercury to see what I'm talking about. I wouldn't steal the idea, but designing something similar that would function in Windows would be great.
Oh and if this is something worth considering, don't forget to make that bar adjustable. Not only can I pick what side of the screen it goes on, I can slide it up and down on either side, so if I'm laying in bed, with my arms resting at my sides, I can move the bar down to better accommodate my reading. Either way, keep up the amazing work FireFox. I really love the browser!

Due to low use, the Firefox for Metro interface will no longer be released. If you would like to read more about this you can see the [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/ blog post]
I have also forwarded the feedback to the input team! Thank you!

Not true at all.
I listen to music on my iphone all the time.
It is your position that anyone who does not agree with you does not listen to music?
Really?
What a leap.

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

I do not like to see that mozilla offers firefox for MAC and also CAMINO browsers.

I like Mozilla.
BUT I do NOT like to be offered two browsers for my macbook.
WHY am I offered CAMINO and FIREFOX? Does not make sense.
Because CAMINO is more adhered to the MAC environ, I suggest you eliminate the other and just rename CAMINO as the version of FIREFOX for Macs! Simple, more economic for you.
Because now if I pick CAMINO I am picking a not very well known browser, and some webpages even do not recognize it (like the www.uned.es)

You can provide '''feedback''' to Mozilla here: <br />

I'm sure the users and developers of the Camino project would disagree with your opinion. And if other people thought like that back in 2002, Firefox might not exist today.

How do I turn off typing suggestions In Firefox for Android?

I am having a terrible problem with comments I previously typed (primarily in FB) taking over my screen when I am trying to type a new comment. I am unable to see what I am typing and all my previous comments show up for me to insert. If I click on one of the previous comments, it inserts it into the space where I am trying to type. There seems to be no way to close the suggestions and get them off the screen. I never, ever want to say the same thing twice. Can I please get rid of this function entirely? I am using an Asus Nexus 7 with the latest version of Android. Thank you, I just can't seem to find a way to fix this.

HI leinieman,
Sorry to hear this. Ok lets try disabling the feature. There is a former question that pointed to [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/clear-mobile-history/ Clear Mobile History Add on] but this essentially does the same as wiping history from the menu.
There is a private window you can navigate in that will also prevent history from being remembered. It is called a new guest window. [[Share your Android device with a Firefox Guest Session]]

When Twitter updated it's website I can't get it to load right in Firefox. This same thing happened with Tumblr, and I've just been using Chrome for it. But I'd like to be able to use Firefox for everything.

How to make a desktop app ready for tablet

I have a flash drawing tool on desktop, and just tried to use it on a windows 7 tablet pc.
The system comes with two virtual keyboards, a bigger one that the user has to actively open, and a smaller one that offers itself near many text entry fields (such as system file dialogs)
Now with flash only the bigger one is available, and when I type into it, flash player seems to lose focus.
What would be the best way to handle this situation?
Another part of the story: would it be possible to have 3 checkboxes inside the flash app that reflect the state of shift, ctrl, and alt keys and send keypress / keyrelease events such that mouse events report correct keyboard state?

Hi,
thanks a lot - but that is one part. The other one is this:
shift and ctrl are checkbox-type elements
I have two listeners, one for the keyboard and one for mouse events:
private function key(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{   trace(event);
    if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SHIFT)
         if(event.type == KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN)
             shift.checked = true;
         else
             shift.checked = false;
    else if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.CONTROL)
         if(event.type == KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN)
              ctrl.checked = true;
         else
              ctrl.checked = false;
When I operate the shift key, the indicator lights up, and I see
[KeyboardEvent type="keyDown" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2 charCode=0 keyCode=16 keyLocation=0 ctrlKey=false altKey=false shiftKey=true]
Subsequent mouse events show shiftKey true
Now there is also a listener on these indicators
private function toggle(event:MouseEvent):void
{   var ck:Ckbox = event.target as Ckbox;
    ck.checked = !ck.checked;
    var kc:int;
    if(ck == shift)
        kc = Keyboard.SHIFT;
    else if(ck == ctrl)
        kc = Keyboard.CONTROL;
    stage.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent(ck.checked ? KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN : KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, true, false, 0, kc, 0, ctrl.checked, false, shift.checked));
So when I click the shift indicator, it generates an event
[KeyboardEvent type="keyDown" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 charCode=0 keyCode=16 keyLocation=0 ctrlKey=false altKey=false shiftKey=true]
However, the next mouse event says that shiftKey is false

Where can we suggest new features for Yahoo Messenger and other RIM IM clients?

I just downloaded the new version of Yahoo Messenger and I like the user interface. But every time a new version comes out, this application creates a less-complete history of contact behavior. Several versions ago, the contact's status showed up in the open conversation, along with the time stamp of when the status changed. This included Idle and Custom Status changes. That disappeared. In the last version, you could see the time the contact signed in or out last, and sometimes both. Now they're gone as soon as you close the conversation.
The whole idea of having Yahoo up on the BlackBerry all the time is that you don't have to be staring at the screen all the time, that you should be able to take it out of your pocket and check out those events that occurred that didn't set off alarms. I'd like the whole contact history to be right there, for as long as I want to keep it active. How can I make this suggestion to RIM for the next version of Yahoo Messenger? Thanks.

How to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes

how to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes?
I can't find any link to do this. I found a page where you can request songs or an album to be added, but i can't find a page to submit my suggestions for itunes i have for new features i'd like to see

As of now there is no good, direct link for feedback on iTunes itself. Writing Apple might be the best option, with the website feedback page perhaps the next best.

How can i create my BC featured product list in to a slide show for multiple products in one row. i have products aligned in a row i just would like to make it a slide show of the multiple (20) products.

i have products aligned in a row already using custom css.i just would like to make it a slide show of the multiple (20) products in the one row.
i am using the featured product module from the development section of business catalyst. i would love to display as many new products as possible in one row of products. so i can just click a arrow left button and scroll through the products.
holy-shippers.businesscatalyst.com is the site i am mentioning.

Hello,
Aside from any custom implementations that may be suggested by any other members, you could also consider using some hero-type slider like those found on our new responsive templates, and have each web-app item contain a product.
Kind Regards,
Alex Pavelescu

I'd like to make a list of interactive Swing components....

EDIT: I've been doing more research about Layout Managers and it appears that BoxLayout may provide me with the solution I need. I'll mess around with it for awhile and report back if I still need help. Thanks pals!+
I would like to make a list of JPanels laid out in basically a column. One on top of the other. That's not so difficult, but I need to make it able able to add and remove panels in response to user-driven events (in other words, I can't just hard-code them all, and the panels are generated on the fly, so I don't even know how many I'll need to be displaying until I need to display them.
Here's a simple mockup of the window I'm talking about.
|      - o x |
|____________|
|            |
|            |
|   Panel1   |
|   Panel2   |
|   Panel3   |
|   Panel4   |
|____________|At first, I thought a JList would serve my purpose, but you can't add interactive Swing components to JLists (or JTables)... they'll render, but that's all. My panels will contain a button and a checkbox, so this is a no-go.
I was also thinking I could just manage the placement with GridBagLayout and just keep indexes for the current y position, but if there's an easier way, I'd rather not go this route. It has me writing a lot of extra code and manipulating a lot of fields of GridBagConstraints, which opens me to less-understandable code and more error-prone code, on account of I'm great at making little mistakes when I'm setting craploads of constraints.
Does anyone have any ideas? It'd be ideal if there was just some sort of container I could plop them in with add and remove methods (a la JTabbedPane or something).
I'm pretty new to Swing, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Edited by: Caryy on Sep 30, 2010 4:15 PM

I would recommend using BoxLayout or Box.createVerticalBox(). As mKorbel already mentioned, you need to call revalidate() after adding any component to an already realized/visible container, and additionally call repaint() after removing a component. To resize the top level window to accommodate its new content, you would call pack(). Or, again as suggested by mKorbel, wrap your panel/Box in a JScrollPane.
