IE allows the placing of links in files and the desktop. Does Firefox also allow that?

I like Firefox but don't want it to be my default browser. When I'm at a web page using Internet Explorer, I frequently create a link to that page and save it on my desktop or in a file on my hard drive. When selected, such a link automatically opens IE before going to the web page. In order to use bookmarks, I must first open Firefox. Can I somehow place links (bookmarks) on my desktop when I use Firefox?

You can drag the site identity button to the desktop and it creates a shortcut for you. You can also drag a bookmark to the desktop and it will create a shortcut.
If you set Firefox as your default browser all your current links will open automatically in Firefox.

    This article contains the only thing that worked for me.  I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it.  Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users.  My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected  mini dock and over Wi-Fi.  It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process. 

    I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

  • I had Firefix, however I downloaded the newest Firefox along with all plugins. Now when I click in the desktop icon firefox refuses to open my default webpage. Why?

    I run Windows 7. I downloaded Firefox 6.0 for Windows which resulted in the following which I cannot fix:
    "I had Firefix, however I downloaded the newest Firefox along with all plugins. Now when I click in the desktop icon firefox refuses to open my default webpage. Why?....How do I fix this"
    I can go to internet explorer or AOL and it opens right up to my homepage but not when I click on Firefox.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox wants to update and when I tell it yes it has a box that says "software update" that comes up and just says at the top Downloading Firefox but below that it continues to say CONNECTING to update server

    This has been going on for weeks now. I've left it alone for a long time and when I come back the box still says "connecting to update server" - no evidence it actually updates - and Firefox keeps saying it wants to update - have used firefox for years and never had this problem before and the internet is working just fine.

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

  • If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    Depends on whether you are using the same iCloud account on the device, or if you are syncing Contacts via iTunes, if you are syncing both devices to the same computer.
    When you block someone, no matter which application you "launch" the block from (Messages, Phone, FaceTime) you are blocking the Contact. So, any app that uses that contact will see it as a blocked contact and will block any incoming activity to that app from that contact.

  • Link to files and projects

    Hello! I have a problem. I make a project in Adobe Captivate 4. In one slide there is button and it's link to .exe file. When i start publishing project (to .EXE file), a message appears: "The files\projects listed below are linked to the open project. The linked files\projects may require exporting......It also important  to copy all referenced files and projects with their corresponding HTML files to the output folder"...
    What does it mean? What i must do?
    I want so that on any computer with the pressure by user on the button, located on one of the slides, would be started .exe file...
    Help me please...Thank you..

    Hi there
    The dialog you see is simply telling you that you have created a link to a resource. That resource will also need to be copied to wherever your Captivate will exist in order for things to work.

  • Opening internet linked encrypted files and printing pdf documents

    I can't open an encrypted file that requires an link to a remote server, the system says the computer does not have an internet connection, but it does. I also can't print a page from a non-encrypted pdf file which I can open and display.  The printer doesn't respond, yet it works with everything else.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.10 twice and also installed it again and replaced with Adobe READER 10.1.4.  Neither of these changes make any difference. I've also disconnected the fire wall but to no avail.  I now have the following Adobe programmes installed :-  Adobe X 10.1.4, AIR, Flash Player 10 plugin, Flash Player 16 ActiveX.  Can anybody help?  Do I also need to install Adobe Acrobat and if so is there a free version?

    Maybe that method does not use Adobe Reader, but your operating system's print function?

  • Blinking file and question mark does not go away

    My imac is constantly showing this blinking file with a questionmark when starting it. I tried all kinds of things to bring it back to life, like cmd + R, holding the shift button, c button and other stuff but none of them works. Could anyone plese help?

    I take it you don't currently have backup to an external disk - Time Machine or a clone?
    Here's some instructions for backing up, although you need a working Mac to be able to do it. Obviously, this shows how vital it is to always keep current backup so you have a recovery plan before disaster strikes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553
    Hopefully you won't need to erase your data - repairing the disk, or simply re-installing the OS should not erase anything. Only an erase and install does that. You'll need backup if it turns out your hard disk is kaput (possible).
    If the Mac currently has either 10.8 or 10.9 installed does booting using Command+r not do anything?
    If it doesn't you can try putting the Leopard disk in the drive and booting holding Command + c - hopefully it'll boot and allow you to run Disk Utility to check/repair the disk - NOT to re-install the OS. If it does boot, at the first screen select your language and from the next screen, from the menu bar, select Utilities>Disk Utility. Select Macintosh HD>Repair Disk. If anything gets fixed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Once done restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If all that comes to nothing I think it's off to the repair centre.

  • Dynamic link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst does not exist

    Hi,
    I'm a french developer and I have a question.
    I didnt find any Dynamci link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst.
    Let me explain :
    I have a photoshop file (.psd) and I import it into Flash Catalyst.
    But I have some modification to do on my design file (psd) but the design does not update himself in Flash Catalyst .
    Do you plane to add the possibility ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Given that you named the class TextDynamicLayout, it implies you are trying to handle wordwrapping text.  That requires handing down the VBox's explicitWidth to the Text controls before they get measured.  Wordwrapping text can be any size so it needs to have its width fixed in order to determine its height.
    The List classes do not support percentages on the renderers.  All renderers are effectively given a size based on the List's size (or DG Column size).  You can see how explicitWidth is handled in the default renderer by looking at the source for ListItemRenderer.as.
    Note that VBox or any container makes for heavy and slow rendering.  That's why the default Flex renderers extend UIComponent and have custom measure() and updateDisplayList() methods.
