If I'm on one site and click through several links on the page, I want to be able to look at the history of my clicks and return to an earlier click - like the second or third one instead of hitting the arrow button 12 times. You used to be able to get a drop-down history of all the clicks on one tab - it's now gone and it's really annoying.
There is a left arrow ("back button"). Click and hold down and after a second, you'll have a history list for the tab. You can then select the page you want from there.

# Question
Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?
Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed.
It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.
Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese.
Please explain in everyday English.
Thanks in advance,
posyHi Prabhuti,
Thank you so much for all your suggestions & helpful links to get help. I am not very computer literate. I have taken many classes over the years I've had a computer but I am still only a beginner.
I want to tell you that I found a solution to my problem. I finally realized that maybe FF was not the problem but Wind. 7 on my new comp. I went on the 7 Forums & found another person who had the same problem & the answer was simple all I had to do was to right click on the Notepad icon & it would bring up a new Notepad & I could open & minimize as many as I want. I had moved the Notepad icon to my taskbar from the Start menu when I got my new computer.
I have one more question for you. The notepad 2 program was mentioned there along with several others. I think it was about that prog. that someone said that it could open many notepads & when you closed the comp. the notepads would not disappear. Do you know if it was that program? Also is it possible to use that program the same way as I used the original Notepad? There are so many technical options on that program that I didn't understand. All I want to do is open the Notepad & copy & paste my notes in it & minimize them. Not losing them if I shut down the comp. would be real benefit to me. I believe that is the same prog. you recommended to me. Since you seem to understand tech things I thought maybe you could tell me if that is possible?
Thank you so much for all your help.

Mouse is very laggy while using trackpad, but click and right click are not
This problem started yesterday. While using the trackpad, the mouse became very laggy. I stopped to see if a few minutes would help fix the problem, but the mouse kept moving sporadically. I can click and right click fine and with no lag, but the mouse is either non responsive or extremely laggy. The problem was infrequent at first, but now it is almost constantly there. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX version 10.5.8.
Use the Toshiba application installer to reinstall the Touchpad driver.
To find it search your laptop for Toshiba application installer and run it is will download and install all your drivers.

Why can I no longer scroll with the mouse when using Pages?
A few days ago, I realized that I am unable to scroll within a Pages document with the mouse. The scroll bar is not there. The scroll feature works fine, and after trying to figure this out myself with no success, I thought I'd ask here. I have Pages '09 and I'm using OS X 10.9.5.
Thanks. That's not the problem. Scrolling works in everything else except Pages. I used to be able to scroll just by using my finger up or down on the mouse. Now, I can't do that. I tried setting the scroll bars to "Always", but then I have to physically click on the scroll bar and move it up and down. Not like it's that much hassle, lol, but I got used to just scrolling with my finger on the mouse.

When using Safari I am unable to scroll with the trackpad when on a PDF browser plugin page.
I can't scroll with the trackpad when I have a PDF open in Safari, I have to go use the scrollbar. Is there a way to fix this?
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
I'm using Iphone 5 .After updating it with the latest software i.e iOS 7.0.6 I'm not able to see the wats app and imsg on my notification center when my phone is locked until and unless i activate the "Show on Lock Screen" under each application. which was not same as in the earlier software version.I dnt want my messages or watsapp msges to be displayed on home screen when locked but should be displayed on the notification center on lock condition.
Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?
Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed. -

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.

Hi
I am running these tests using VS2012 on a remote desktop. The session is alive when I try to run it. The Window is not minimized.
The tests run fine on my own machine. The VM has test agent and controller installed on it, but I am not using them right now to run the tests. Do you know what setting on my machine might casue this issue ?

Thank you for your post.
“The VM has test agent and controller installed on it, but I am not using them right now to run the tests.”
In this case, how do you run the Coded UI test on the VM? You start the Coded UI test from your own machine and then open the remote desktop session to make the test run on VM?
If yes, I am afraid that you can’t do like that. You need to use the test controller and the agent in order to run the test on the remote desktop. Or you create the app and do coded UI test against it on the VM completely.
If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amanda Zhu [MSFT]
