In Ver 6.0.2, Gadgets I've added to the home page don't stay when I boot up again.
I recently upgraded Firefox from 3.6 (I think it was) to 6.0.2. When I boot up Firefox now, my old Gadgets are gone and new "default" gadgets appear such as Weather (set for a town in Florida), Clock etc. I change these to ones I want (following the directions correctly to select each Gadget) and the opening page then displays my selected Gadgets. But the next time I boot up Firefox, the opening page displays the old "default" Gadgets again. Why? Thank you!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

You have chosen to open “scores.htm”
What should Firefox do with this file?
-Open with: Firefox (default), or other
-Save file?
Do this automatically for the files like this one.
I chose cancel and when I rebooted the Google page the same window came up.
I don’t want to open with or it will open with something every time I come back to Google.
The best option until this is resolved is to “Save File” and that continues to down load into the “Download Firefox” folder.When I go to my Google page with the sport scores gadget on, Firefox download, in the downloads window a file "scores.htm" everytime. Consequently I have 10's if not 100's over time of scores(1), (2)(3).htm respectively. How do I stop it?

Win 7 and recently upgraded to ff 4.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but makes no diff.If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
-> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)''' -
Closing Firefox 5.0 resets Home Page to /www.searchqu.com. I know how to set it in the options tab.Earlier versions never had this issue. Plus, I return after being away to find that a "crash error" apologizing for the inconvenience. How2 can this be corrected?

How do I add "gadgets" to my home page?
iGoogle is to become unavailable. What I liked about it was that I could set up my home page with a number of "gadgets" of information that would appear on that page, such as current weather, time and date, S&P 500, CNN headlines, etc.
How do I do this with a Firefox home page?See http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/6-great-alternatives-igoogle.htm

Have mutli ver of LV -7.1 to LV10sp1 on XP PC. DAQmx - nilvaiu.dll missing when try to open CODE from WIN7 32 bit LV10?
What Driver do I need? VERSION Please -- DAQmx works fine in LV8.6.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Briana,
I believe I understand what you're asking, but which current DAQmx driver are you using with LV 2010? Only the 9.1.5 and above drivers are compatible with LV 2010, while many of the older drivers will still work for you in LV 8.6. Below, I've linked a compatibility chart for DAQmx drivers and Labview versions.

My gadgets on Windows 7 have suddenly stopped working properly since 2 days ago. I have tried:
System restore
UAC is ON
cmd scannow (no results),
tried the registry thing, didn't work either.
How to fix this?
That's how it looks...
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/Katjushka_/fuckedgadgets.jpgI do not personally recommend the alternate work-around of deleting any registry keys and/or reducing any of your internet security zones. I have found fixes to it in a more secure way below, as I consolidated and cleaned up countless snips from many
forums all over the place (cited sources of where I could remember I found the concepts); Here's my research notes: full disclaimers, hold me harmless, and always backup first!
IE11 BUG:
This bug in the public release version of Internet Explorer 11 (aka IE 11 aka IE11 RTM gold release) causes Windows 7 Gadgets to bug out.
Specifically, with IE11 installed on Windows 7, due to a bug in IE11, increasing DPI past 110% triggers SOME of the Gadgets to glitch, bug out, completely disappear, etc. This bug can be worked-around and "fixed" by modifying its Sidebar gadget.xml
<autoscaleDPI>... described in detail below.
This bug is irrelevant to Windows 8 / 8.1 because Microsoft removed the beloved Gadgets entirely in Win8 due to so many third-party evilware writers embedding malware into their "free" downloaded Gadgets (note to the best of my current knowledge,
using the standard Microsoft Gadgets included with Windows 7 are all perfectly safe).
To reiterate, notice the following Microsoft article is only talking about potential malware in third-party downloaded Gadgets, and specifically I do NOT see where it mentions any problems using any of the official Microsoft build-in Windows 7 gadgets, cited
from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dn261332
BUG FIX:
Option 1: Set DPI back to 100% Smaller Fonts (default) or maximum 110% and the Gadgets come back to life and work fine upon relog.
Option 2: If you need greater than 110% DPI, and want Gadgets to work, then... For each broken Gadget, modify its protected file: gadget.xml (as detailed below).
FIRST, TEMPORARILY CHANGE DPI BACK TO 100% (DEFAULT) JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE HIDDEN/GLITCHED GADGETS IN ORDER TO FIX THEM.
Note as a side-effect, after the "fixed" Gadgets in question come back they may look smaller in comparison with the ones that were not affected by the DPI bug (because this fix locks their DPI at default 100% whereas your others are dynamically changed).
Located in: C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
Inside that folder, find the glitched Gadget you want to fix, go into its specific folder, and edit its gadget.xml, Remove the following tag completely:
<autoscaleDPI><!--_locComment_text="{Locked}"-->true</autoscaleDPI>
Deleting that tag from the gadget.xml file resolves the issue even if the DPI is set to 125%. Setting the tag to allow autoscale doesn't help. BE CAREFUL not to leave a blank line!
Concepts:
1. Make backup of effected gadget.xml somewhere
2. Task Manager -> End Process of "sidebar.exe" to unlock all Gadget's files
3. Take temporary ownership and give yourself RW permission to modify Gadget's files
4. Put all Gadget file ownership and RW permissions back to "TrustedInstaller" for security
5. Change DPI and relog to relaunch Gadgets
Details:
From Security Tab in Properties of file you want to change >>Click Advanced >>Select Owner >>Click Edit >>Click Other users or Groups >>Click Advanced >>Click Find Now, make yourself owner, then add write access for yourself.
Launch NOTEPAD or similar editor as ADMIN, to modify the gadget.xml file (the folder structure itself is still permissions-protected, but I strongly suggest you leave that alone and just use admin for editing this one file this one time)
Put Ownership and all permissions back to what they were (First, set read-only for everyone EXCEPT leave RW alone for the TrustedInstaller service, and THEN set Owner back to TrustedInstaller).
NOTE: TrustedInstaller does not exist in the "visible" users and groups as it runs as an NT Service. Don't panic. To restore its special ownership:
Right mouse button click on the file and choose Properties
Click Security tab
Click Advanced button
Click Owner tab
Click Edit button
Click Other User or Group and type in: NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller
Search and click Ok on all dialogs until all property dialogs are closed etc.
Cited from http://blogs.msdn.com/irenak/archive/2007/01/30/sysk-277-how-to-bring-back-the-trustedinstaller.aspx
Double-confirm you set all regular users and groups permissions are reverted defaults back to what they were (read-only), and the *ONLY* Owner/RW is TrustedInstalled, to lock it back down for security reasons! E.G. to avoid future vulnerability!
To test:
I fixed my Clock gadget.xml but left the Calendar alone. Changed DPI to 125% and relog off/on and notice Clock now works, but yes it looks slightly smaller than the working Calendar Gadget which isn't effected by this bug. Repeat process for Calender
if you want it smaller to match, but it works fine bigger. Repeat this process for all of your favorite broken Gadgets using IE11 on Windows 7.
Notes:
1.) Personally I view this as a work-around not a true fix, but considering Microsoft officially discontinued Gadgets as mentioned earlier, it's possible this bug may take a very long time, if ever, to be officially fixed.
2.) IE11 also bugs out a lot of other things such as Outlook 2003 spellcheck, and other general software compatibility issues, especially in Windows 7, so it's probable that some or all of IE11's bugs should be eventually fixed in the future - thereby as a
side effect may also officially fix Gadgets some day too.
3.) Other concepts cited here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/448f9665-c043-48d2-9049-b74131bab7b1/gadgets-not-working-with-ie11-win7-pro-sp1-not-win81-preview?forum=iewebdevelopment

How to display the HTML pages in RRC/RQM dashboard using OpenSocial gadget
Hi,
I have a requirement as below:
1. I have couple of HTML pages which are hosted in the sharepoint site and I would like to display the HTML pages
2. I would like to have an OpenSocial gadget in the RRC/RQM dashboard that will display the HTML pages which are hosted in my sharepoint site.
Could you please suggest the best approach to create an OpenSocial gadget in the IBM's RRC/RQM dashboard whcih will display html contents of another URL ?
Thanks.
Knowledge is power.Hi Manoj,
As I understand, you would like to display SharePoint page in another platform.
Since the you are involving third party platform, you might still need to contact their support engineer about how to render other pages.
From SharePoint side, by default, SharePoint won't let end user to display site page to other platform, you could add "<WebPartPages:AllowFraming runat="server"/>" in master page or single page layout. So that SharePoint ASP.Net
page could be displayed on other platform.
Here I'm talking about ASP.Net page, since HTML page in SharePoint cannot be displayed in browser as I tested, it will be downloaded directly. So I'd suggest you use ASP.Net page as workaround.

When I try to save my home pages / tabs, I can't, because this option is greyed out. I even uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller completely, reinstalled with no new plugins or extensions, and it remains greyed out. The only thing that I can do, is pin the tabs, but I wish to be able to use this option. If I can't, I won't know if its Firefox, or malware or? Thank you in advance for any help. Windows 7 Premium SP1, Firefox ver. 22
Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
