There is a new [[what is firefox sync?| sync]] feature available by default with firefox 4, you may be interested in that. There are also other editions of firefox that are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox,_Portable_Edition portable], and can be installed on a USB stick for instance.
The default location of the profile will not be ?c:desktop?, and if Windows crashes you will need to recover before you can use firefox.
It is however sensible to backup your profile, and you can back it up to or use it from almost anywhere see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information#w_restoring-to-a-different-location you can use the profile from a USB stick for instance, but there are slight problems with the way Windows assigns drive letters as you plug in and unplug drives. The easiest solution may be to leave the profile where it is, or move it to another fixed drive, and make a backup somewhere else.

Can I have my profile on another drive (other than C:) - Fx 4 beta 10, Win XP SP3

Is it possible to install or set up Firefox so that my profile is on the '''E: drive''' (for example) instead of C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcd3du4.default. I have installed Firefox on the E: drive.
(I know I can use a portable version to solve the problem but I want to know if it's possible with the regular Firefox.)

How can I set Firefox up with previously saved profiles? I had to erase my hard drive but saved my Firefox profiles to another drive first and copied them back but I don't know how to set up the browser to reload/recognize them.

Never mind, I got it. I found the page on "Manage Profiles" that explained everything. Thank you for your time if you were considering responding.

After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

Hi Supporters,
I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

Hi guys,
@cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
@jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

Error "need to place tarball in the right location" jre & jdk upgrade

Using pacaur to upgrade seom AUR packages - namely jre and jdk Iget this set of errors, ad infinitum:
Due to a change in how Oracle handles the Java SE License Agreement
you are required to:
1) accept the license and download the tarball (jre-7u4-linux-x64.tar.gz) yourself:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u4-download-1591157.html
2) move it to $startdir (/tmp/pacaurtmp-larry/jre/)
-> If saved in ~/Desktop/, ~/Downloads/ or /tmp/, it will be auto-moved for you
-> Press any key to continue..
==> ERROR: You need to place the tarball in the right location
-> Press any key to retry (or Ctrl-C to cancel)..
==> ERROR: You need to place the tarball in the right location
I have downloaded the java tarball and placed it in the correct directory. Still get same errors as above,
any ideas why?

Thanks for your offering. I have a bit of house cleaning and rearranging due
to my knowing I bought the CS4 software and had installed it and thinking
things would work as before I did not realize that by buying and installing
another software program Proshow Producer on an external HD and then
learning from the company that it had to be on C:/ to work properly. That
forced moving other things around, like CS2, CS3 and CS4 and leaving CS on
C:/ then reinstalling Producer as CS works fine for the pictures used in
Producer and all related files on C: as all my other working photos had to
move with the software!! With 5 and a half terabits on 6 external HD's I got
careless and did not properly set things set up as I should have in
anticipation of my current problem and Adobe's programers, not being mind
readers programmed things to look on C: when CS2,3, and 4 lived elsewhere.
It's all a mess but I do have my serial numbers and did discover, thanks to
your Creative Suite Cleaner Tool offering I found a link to Adobe's original
CS4 trial files that I was told by Adobe were no longer available due to CS6
and I can re-download CS4 there and use it since at the moment my CS4 is
hiding from me. I think a clean re-installation should work before running
the 'cleaner' with its' gottchas. I shall send a later follw up when things
are successfully reloaded. If you think of anything else of value, I would
certainly appreciate your knowledge!

Any way to import from another drive and leave clips in place?

Hi
Is there any way to import from other drives where you can leave your media in place?
Whenever I've imported clips from another drive I had to copy them to the library, while clips on the same drive as the library I could leave in place. Besides getting a bit tired of FCP treating like a kid with Alzheimer's, what would one do, say, when a drive gets full? I could see big projects needing more than a single drive.
best
elmer

LIke Russ said, the copy of the entire folder structure is similar to creating a camera archive. This copy or archive is treated just as if it were a camera card - in particular, "leave in place" is not available, and you have the option go import just parts of clips if you want.
so technicay even though they reside in a hard drive this is like importing from camera, as opposed to "import from file".
I Will try to describe how I handle my media. I hope this will help clarify things a bit. I am not saying thus is the way to do things, but it is my way.
I keep archives of the camera cards, which I then erase and reuse.
I import clips from my camera archives which I store as external media (copying to a folder of my choosing instead of into the library). These movie files, plus other files that I get from other sources, can be later imported and used in other libraries using "leave in place".
And all of this of course needs to be regularly backed up.

How to place User folders on another HD than the system?

Sorry for this perhaps ignorant question: I am contemplating to get a Mac Pro with two disks. Having heard about speed gains, I am thinking of having the system and applications on one HD and all the users' stuff (folders) on the second. In this respect I have two questions:
1) do you think this might really help with access speed?
2) how would I make the system to place the users' folders on the second disk?
Thanks...

Leave a "/Users" on the boot drive. Some applications don't like there not being one, even though technically having a symbolic link pointing to another drive should work.
having your home directory on another drive is easy to accomplish by changing one entry in NetInfo Manager (in /Utilities).
Find "Users" and click on there and then your own 'short name.' Down below will be "Path" entry as /Users/short-name
Change that to be /Volumes/vol-name-2/Users/short-name
where "vol-name-2" is actual name of the other drive or volume.
I would use some software to copy /Users to the 2nd drive, or create a folder there and copy. And copy your media and data files.
Might want to leave a small basic home folder /Library just to have one with prefs and such if needed. And always have backups.
There are a number of sites and books (David Pogue's Missing Manual covers it in less than two pages).
Gains are two forms. Free up space on boot drive. the system can access two or more drives concurrently without any contention over access or seeks.
I've always had my home directory on a RAID in this manner (since 5 yrs ago or more when Mike Bombich first mentioned and showed how to do so form the command line).

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

How do i move itunes from one profile to another?

does anyone know how to move my itunes from one profile to another?

Drag the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared/.
Log into the other user.
Option drag (this copies instead of moves and sets the correct permissions) the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared/ to your /Music/ folder, replacing what is there.
You can then delete /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.

I need to move my profile to an external drive but the edits I make to the profile.ini file don't seem to be working

I am using a Mac, and need to have my profile be on an external drive. I edit the profile.ini file per the instructions I found here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
but it's not working. I must have the path wrong. Again, I am using a Mac. Here is the info in the profile.ini file:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=Macintosh%HD/My%20Passport/Thunderbird/Profiles/o6fqy09d.default
Default=1
Do you see anything about the path that looks incorrect? The "My Passport" is the external drive.
Also, if there was an updated disk image for Portable Thunderbird, I could try setting that up but all I can find is a very old one which I tried but it won't update.
Thank you,
Todd

The "My Passport" external drive must be mounted somewhere in the file system. That's the path you need to use.

Hi I am actually in the UK - need to change my profile, b...

Hi
I am actually in the UK - need to change my profile, but...
Can anyone give me advice on a small-office network choice of components and cnfiguration? I am a relative newbie for larger-scale networking, and am looking to clean up and improve our network. We have a typical "domestic" 4-port wireless broadband router (Netgear) connected to a cable modem and a collection collection of 3 small 5-port hubs (1 D-Link, 1 Netgear, 1 generic own-brand - forget who) and a wireless extender to give us more ports as we ran out several times.
I would prefer to get a single good quality switch/router from one source as we keep getting outages and having to reset the network maybe once per day to gete the machine all to talk to each other, and we also have regular conflicts over bandwidth use where one person's large downloads may effectively prevent others from getting any decent internet access via http/ftp/smtp etc. We have about 6 desktop PCs and a similar number of laptops, and a few gaming consoles that need to be connected, plus occasional visitors who would like access out to the internet (but usually these are people we know and trust).
I am guessing that a 24-port gigabit switch would be a good option, but do we need a separate router or is there a combined 24-port switch/router? What do we do if we want 2 wireless access points? How can we control the priority and/or amount of bandwidth allocated to different types of traffic? What about VPN access or similar that we might want in the (near) future? I can't find any more tutorials or guides about good choices of kit to make this all work well.

you will need a separate router and switch. you may check some vpn routers from linksys if you want vpn connection behind the router. you may try rv08, rv016 or rv042. any gigabit switch will be fine behind the router.

What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

Either projects or events. You can make a compound clip in a event used to hold favorites. Add a couple of generator items to it and apply the custom transition. You can copy and paste from the compound clip to any project. Hold everything you want into the one event. It probably won't ever get very big, and the render files can be dumped at any time. You can simply move the event from machine to machine or place to place as needed, just as you can other custom content, like keyboard layouts and custom color presets.

Where do we need to place DLL files for webutil_c_api

Hi..
(I posted this a few days back, but no reply..buddies, help me plz)
In Forms 10g while using webutil_c_api to call c functions,
where do we need to place the DLL files. Is it enough if we place in the AS or do we need to place the dll files in all the client machines.
Please clarify me.
Thnx and Regards
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
Yes, you can place the dlls in the same folder as d2kwut60.dll. Also, for your dll
to get donwloaded to the client, you need to configure the webutil.cfg file and add an entry for your own dll , after the webutil dll entries, as shown below:
install.syslib.0.7.1=jacob.dll|94208|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.9.1=JNIsharedstubs.dll|65582|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.9.2=d2kwut60.dll|192512|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.user.1=scanner.dll|192512|1.0|true
