In Firefox Sync, Firefox Home - what does the option "Use Safari" in the app settings actually do?

In the global settings page on the iPad, (this is where users can configure settings for each app.) there is an option for Firefox Home to "Use Safari". What does this setting actually do, or not do?

Thanks, Verdi - the first time I enabled,/ or disabled, I hadn't realised what had actually changed, as I think I'm so used to seeing my links open in Safari anyway!

  • Using firefox, scrolling over a link does nothing, but using IE on the same link I see an .aspx file that I can open. How do I fix firefox?

    Going to a state sponsored site I see a link (underlined and in blue), but scrolling over it while in Firefox does nothing. Clicking on the link also does nothing.
    Changing browsers to IE, I then go to the same site and scrolling over link changes cursor. Clicking on the link opens a new page.
    The link's address is an .aspx file.
    How can I fix Firefox to view this link.

    Thanks for the try, but no help.
    I tried removing the "style", but it did absolutely nothing.
    I did notice something odd.
    Going to the state site:
    http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/IRM00PRAES/PRASINDI.ASP?LicId=295&ProfNBR=3101
    there is a link "Going to complaint", when I scroll over this it reacts normally and clicking allows me to open a new page, BUT, the page is not in the browser, rather it appears to be a new window floating over the browser. This window has no address, it appears to be a separate document rather then a part of the website. In this window document there is a link, underlined and in blue, under the heading "case number". There is no way to remove style from this window, and clicking in Firefox does nothing, while doing so in IE leads me to a PDF document.
    I am a neophyte computer user, but wonder if there is something additional needed so Firefox can handle the .aspx file.

  • What does "/"  "\" mean when using it on the Timeline?

    Learning Adobe premier pro classroom CC

    The "\" key zooms into the timeline. So if you can't see all of your clips because you are zoomed in too far, the "\" will set your view to fit to the visible area of the timeline.
    The "/" key marks the selection.
    In the future, the best way to get that information is to go into the Edit menu, select Keyboard Shortcuts, and type in the keys you want to know more about. It will show you what action is related to the key you enter and if no action aqppears then you know that key or key combination is available for you to assign to something.

  • I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle.  When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music".  What does that mean?

    I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music".  What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only?  thanks,  Jester

    Dear jester,
    Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
    You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
    I hope this help you.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

  • Sync settings, what does each option do?

    When presented with this, what does each option do?
    Does 'Sync Local' push my local settings to the cloud, or sync the settings from the cloud to the local machine? Seems like this could be made more apparent... Any time I setup a new machine and get this sort of prompt on first launch I normally hit 'Sync Cloud' thinking it'll then download my settings and apply them, but that never happens - I always have to manually setup the settings again.

    Do the DW online docs help?

  • The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
    It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
    The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
    I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
    It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

  • What does "waiting" mean when its on the screen instead of an app logo/picture?

    I'm a new user of the iphone.  After downloading some apps I have a block(where normally is the name of the app) that is grey'd out and is labled "waiting".  What does this mean?  Thanks.

    Means the app is trying to download to the phone. If this has been some time, you might want to reset the phone and see if you can complete the download. The other alternative is to open iTunes on the computer, go to check for available downloads and then connect the phone to the computer and sync.

  • So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

    So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?

    If you're on windows try the following:
    This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck
