Is Firefox Sync compatible with x-marks, or do they both do the same thing?

X-marks has recently made a reappearance on my laptop, and is causing havoc with my bookmarks; on both the laptop and desktop.
Whilst x-marks "was away", Firefox Sync was installed and I am wondering if the two are compatible, or competitive; whether I would be better to dispose of x-marks nd rely upon Firefox Sync to keep the two machines in sync.
Your sage advice would be very welcome. Thank you!
Peter

Thanks so much for your prompt response. I get really frightened when Bookmarks start disappearing; apparently randomly, and apparently associated with X-marks syncing.
As Firefox Sync has been working quite happily for me, and X-marks seems to have only made a re-appearance in the last few days (the log re-started from 7th October having been dormant since June), I am inclined to think that the two are fighting each other.
Therefore I am leaning towards disabling X-marks. If you have any further thoughts on this matter, please do share them with me. Thanks you again for taking the trouble to respond.

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

I seem to have two email accounts with my service provider and they are receiving the same email as far as I can see. Can I delete one and feel safe that I am receiving all of my email.

I have three separate email accounts showing up in my Mail program on my MacBook Pro. Two of them are my local email provider one showing up as SaskTel Email and the other showing up as sasktel.net. The third one is ICloud. Can I delete one of the SaskTel ones, as they seem to get the same mail.

What do you tell your friends to use to send you email?
Are they going to the same "Incoming Mail Server", logging in with the same "User Name" ? If so, they are two instances of the same account, and one can certainly be deleted with impunity.
This detailed information is in
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > ...
... click on the accountname and inspect those fields.

Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one which uses the same email address?

Hello,
I have unlinked all my devices from an old sync account and setup a new sync. In this process I have used the same email address as before.
I have no use of my old sync account, therefore the question is:
Can I delete the old sync account (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all data associated with it without affecting my new Firefox account (and its data) in any way?
Thank you!

Yes you can https://services.mozilla.com/delete-account/ and put in your username and password, and hit permanently delete your account. I personally wouldn't you never know if you may need it in the future.

Whenever I right click on an image on a web page and select 'Save image as...', the filename always ends with '.jpg.jpeg' instead of '.jpg'. How do I stop Firefox doing this? It doesn't happen when I try the same thing with Internet Explorer

It hasn't done this since I first installed Firefox, only the last month or so.
I've tried running in Firefox safe mode with all extensions disabled but this makes no difference.
I've also found the following article:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
...that suggests reseting the '''browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes''' & '''plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types''' entries in about:config but I don't have these entries so can't reset them

In that case you may need to look in the Windows registry with the registry editor (regedit.exe) to see if the problem is there. 
You can do a search (Ctrl+F) for jpg after navigating to the HKCR\MIME\Database key.

For the second time today images in Firefox have disappeared and, as I was Sincing two computers at the time, now they BOTH have the same problem.

Earlier today, the images on Firefox completely disappeared. Nothing I did fixed this issue; not restarting in Safe Mode, not disabling individual add-ons, nothing. No other browser was affected. After a little over an hour of this, the images suddenly came back with no changes from me. A little less than an hour ago, the same issue started happening, this time, though, I was using Sinc to transfer data to another computer and now both of them cannot display images in Firefox. Please fix this.

Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Hi Jenny, it's not quite clear what you're seeing.
Is this at login, then it goes to loading the desktop & such, & then is unresponsive, or what exactly?

Every time i connect my car charger for ipad it says not charging and i tried more than one charger but they all say the same thing is there something wrong with my ipad?

My ipad doesnt want to charge in the car charger

What are the electrical specs of the car charger? The Apple wall charger is rated at 5V and 2A. If the car charger does not output 2A @5V, you'll get the not charging message. However, it will still charge, but very slowly.

After installing Firefox 5.0 and attempting to open the browser I get: Error: Platform Version '2.0.1' is not compatible with MinVersion = 5.0 MaxVersion = 5.0 At the top of the message is Yul Runner

While installing Firefox 5.0 and attempting to open the browser I get: Error: Platform Version '2.0.1' is not compatible with MinVersion > = 5.0 MaxVersion < = 5.0
Above the message in the border was XULRunner

That can happen if the updater wasn't able to update (replace) all the files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* 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.

Is Firefox 15 compatible with Windows 7- my computer god says"Firefox won't work in Windows 7" so no windows 7 unless I'm willing to switch to IE?

Looking for information I can (possibly) understand and she (person selling me my next computer with Windows 7), might be willing to look into & re-think. I prefer (most of the time) FF to IE. Although I'm willing, if necessary, to switch from Eudora (my choice) to Outlook (she says both are not compatible with Windows 7), I'm less willing to do so with FF. (Although, more & more with so increasingly many FF 'upgrades', I have become less enamored with FF.)
Thanks for any help, info and, please, if you do respond, pretend that for a used to be smart person, I'm ... a computer illiterate, moron, OK, OK, not that bright! Thanks Phyllis

Hi Phyllis! Just to set things clear, Firefox IS compatible with Windows 7.
Firefox supports Windows 7
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/15.0/system-requirements/
I don't use Eudora so I can't say anything about it. But just by searching around, the reason why Eudora has difficulty running in Windows 7 is that it saves files to a location that is protected in Windows 7. That means no programs may automatically save files there. There are probably some workarounds but I don't know enough about them to comment about here.
The main point is that the Firefox browser runs perfectly fine in Windows 7. I'm typing this on Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 64-bit right now too.
Hope this helps!

When are you going to make Firefox 5 compatible with Google toolbar?

When are you going to make Firefox 5 compatible with the Google Toolbox?

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems.

Why is the newest version of Firefox not compatible with Java ? All my java extensions are disabled !

I can't be entirely certain of the origin of this issue, but I've tried everything I can think of and the only thing I can nail down is that Firefox 6.0.1 is incompatible with Java. All of my extensions have been disabled without the option of even trying to enable them.
Now for the ACTUAL problem...this affect my Google/GMAIL experience and I use GMAIL for my business! The calendar used to display various mailboxes with different colours to identify different types of individuals and the Google Menu Bar on their homepage is not black, like it should be, it is TRANSPARENT with blue lettering. I can read the menu bar just fine, but the GMAIL thing is kind of important to my business!
I've tried the GMAIL forums to no avail...I've tried to uninstall Java [it wouldn't...just crashed and said there was an error...]. I even re-installed Java, but nothing changed!
I have also tried other browsers and they do the same thing, so I can't just pin it on Firefox, but I am hoping that someone here will have a good, working solution for me.
Thanks,
Dave

OK, I'll try removing all of the extensions but that doesn't explain why my GMAIL and various other JAVA related [I'm assuming] things are not displaying properly. I even went as far as to replace my video card and download the most up to date drivers...still no change, but I will try removing all of the disabled extensions.
Thanks and if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them
Dave

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help.
