In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?
The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
[http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name -
I use iPhone 4S 8GB device. Want to move the back up from mobile device to computer. Can anyone help me on this?
It's not clear what you're asking. What mobile device are you talking about. iPhone back ups are ordinarily in one of two places: iCloud or a computer. The are not stored on the phone. If you're currently backing up your phone to iCloud and you want to back it up to your computer, you can do that using iTunes. You don't move a back up from iCloud to your computer.

I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?
See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

I need to enter the www.address. on this computer I can only enter the address in the google or yahoo section, not where the address should be. On the firefox home page the area where you search Google is the only way I can enter my address. There is no place where I can type an address.

Open the Firefox SafeMode and use '''Reset toolbars and controls.''' - only. -

Stop google results coming up after attempts to use the URL bar!!!
I just installed the latest firefox and am angry. I used to be able to type things into the URL bar and firefox would direct me to the relevant website, no questions asked. I could type, for example, "BBC world news" into the URL bar, and after hitting enter, I'd be at the BBC world news website. Now, typing "bbc world news" in the URL bar gives me GOOGLE RESULTS! Why??? I didn't search Google. What I loved about Firefox was that it could send you to the websites you wanted to go and all you needed to to was type in keywords.... I can't stand going to a search result page for NO REASON. How do I make this work properly, like it used to?
That's interesting I'm almost positive the first answer was previously marked as "Solved" before I wrote the second. Must be new system -- been a lot of things that seem strange. But I guess it also means the owner liked the second answer better, hope it helped the second person as well It is usually impossible for me to determine why something is marked "not helpful" or if that person could be helped as well.

My itunes aacount was on my home computer that me and my brother both used. The computer died and we will need to buy a new one. We thought that if we just logged into our account from my laptop all the music would be there, it's not. Can anyone help us?
Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??
Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
Another route: according to this site:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option. -
I have a 5s and am on iOS8.2. I used to be able to play iplayer/4od on the tube but now I get a connection error. It seems to only work if I have wifi/4g. Any ideas? Thanks.
It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences -

I bought my IPad 2 from a friend. I have reset to clear all of his information out. I am trying to connect it to my computer to sync my itunes and I keep getting the message that my IPad can't be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started can anyone help with this?
I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes. -
On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar?
I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/) , but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Command+Enter".
I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.
