I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Leopard. Problem: after using succesfully an url on a site, original site(with url) has disappeared.

I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Apple Leopard. Problem: when I use an url on a site, I am correctly transfered to the site of the url. But I can't go back again to the original site, on which the url was mentioned. the site has disappeared. Thanks in advance for your help!

You can also open the links in a new tab with a middle click on the link. 
That way you do not need to use the Back button, but can simply close a tab or otherwise return to the previous tab. 
Also make sure that you have the cache enabled and that the cache is working. 
Check the current cache usage on the about:cache page.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hi Redfyre-
Here is an article on troubleshooting issues with the java plugin:
[[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
Hopefully that will help- especially the Java test page.

I am using an external drive for a time machine backup. It has disappeared from the desktop. How do I get it back again?

My time machine backup disc, which has been working ok for a couple of years has suddenly disappeared from the desktop. The time machine program tels me it is unavailable. I have checked that the drive is working by booting up in Windows. and Windows can see it and read it ok. What has gone wrong, and how can I fix it?
I have tried unplugging it and reconnecting, but it is still apparently not seen by the system.
I could use Windows to reformat it, and start again, but this would loose all my previous backups, and I've no guarantee that the system would notice it even then.
Has anyone any ideas?

I think it's formatted on FAT 32 system, but I'm not sure. It's been working for a couple of years so far without any problems, so I think it must be compatible with Mac. The problem is that all of a sudden, the Mac doesn't acknowledge that it is present.

Leopard problems after install/upgrade

Hi
I just installed/upgraded (from a black separately bought) leopard on my mum's iMac G5. The installation showed now problems, and then the computer restarted, booted up and gave me the account/log in screen. But here's the problem. After login in on (tried with several different accounts, but same problem), the computer freezes and then gives me the "you must restart your computer, hold down the power button," etc.
From what I've found online this is most likely a kernel error, so I tried Single User Mode (Apple(Cmd)+S), with "fsck -f" giving me = "The volume iMac appears to be OK."
I then ran Safe-mode and looked at the konsoll-log, and found these to be the last lines before the break down:
...stemStarter [59] kextload: kldload_frommemory() failed for module /Libary/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext/Contents/MacOS/VirtualPCOSServices
...stemStarter [59] kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extention /Libary/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
...stemStarter [59] link/load failed for extention /Libary/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
...stemStarter [59] (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)
And from what I can understand, it seems like it's an old version of VirtualPC on the computer, causing the problem?
Am I right? Does anyone now how to solve this?

I would recommend an [archive and install|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710?viewlocale=en_US]. it will give you a fresh copy of leopard while preserving your data and user settings. this will get rid of the extension conflicts which are causing the kernel panics.

Why does the "this cable or accessory is not certified..." message continue to come up on my iphone, when I have nothing plugged into my iphone and have never used anything other than the cables that originally came with this iphone?

As the question says. This message pops up on my iphone every 30 seconds, even though nothing is plugged in. I have turned my phone off an on, plugged in the real cable and unplugged it, restarted the ios, nothing works. This started only after I updated to ios7.

Check the port with a magnifying glass and a bright light. There may be something stuck in it.
Best of luck.

Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

Solution found at http://michaeljin.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/locked-out-of-mac-os-x-server/
It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

When I use Explored, ussually I diplay my pages in english, but Explore has a feature that you can point any word and it is translated from english to spanish (one one word at the time, not the complete page), does it is available in firefox?

When I use Explored, usually I display my pages in English, but Explore has a feature that you can point any word and it is translated from English to Spanish (one one word at the time, not the complete page), does it is available in Firefox?

I do not know the answer but if you look through the Add-ons under [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=translation translate] you may find something suitable. There is of course also the well known Google translate [http://translate.google.com/#es|en|choose%20the%20language%20combinations%2C%20and%20can%20handle%20single%20words%0Awith%20some%20odd%20results service]

With streaming music files I used to be able to hover over the file with the mouse and see a "Download" option. However, after a recent uninstall and reinstall of FireFox, I no longer see this option. Please help!

Even with files I used to be able to see the download option with (Quicktime files) I do not see the option when I hover over it with the mouse.

Which add-ons do you have that say "incompatible with Firefox 5.0"?
Maybe something like download helper? You need to find an update for that add-on.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Please do the following.

#In the dropdown menu at the top, change it to "'''Use custom settings for history'''"

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny
