Little snitch and firefox trying to go out when not asked

On my minimac 10.4.11 I am running little snitch. It often tells me :
"firefox-bin wants to connect to addons.acelb.sj.mozilla.com on TCP port 443 (https)"
the confusion I am having is that firefox is not open, at least not on my user account. There are 3 others and sometimes they are still open.
I looked at my preferences , account and the login items does not list Firefox.
Anybody know if I should be concerned with this? I usually just tell it no for now.
My main browser is Safari but sometimes firefox is necessary so I haven't checked the never box
Thanks
Barry

That is normal if running in any account, it wants to check if any addons have needed updates. Nothing to worry about really, but you can Deny it Forever, then Change the setting easily, or check for updates at their site.

Little snitch and dashboardadvisoryd

I installed little snitch and i get this message that dahsboardadvisoryd wants to connect to www.apple.com.edgekey.net
so I want to know what is dashboardadvisoryd and should I allow it to connect forever

It checks to see if updates are available for your Dashboard widgets. If you think that's useful, allow it to connect when it wants.

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version of LR4 to install on the Mac. Someone in support (LR) gave the link for the downloads, and I chose the LR4.4 (but, it said LR5---kind of confusing). I don't have a DVD drive, so I am not sure if this one will work. I have the LR icon that says Light Room 4.4 on the screen, but LR does not open when I click it.....????? How do I open this? Thanks!!!

I called my ISP to set it to Bridge mode and they said that they couldn't do that (Linksys help desk gave me instructions on the switch to Bridge mode). However, they then tried to upsell me their own wireless router for $79.99......
Can I make this change myself or do they need to do it from their end?
Thanks!

I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

I have windows XP & uninstalled firefox & trying to reinstall but when I do it tells me to reboot my comp. to finish the uninstall I have done that a few times & still get the request . What can I do to reinstall it?

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

Here's some things you could try....

Im going to go to apple to show my phone that my wi-fi wasnt working and now iv droped my phone and the hole screen came out, its not mashed it just came out, but work, so now im worried apple my wont take care of it

You are correct to worry. There is no way for Apple to know if the wifi problem was before or after the drop. If you have Apple Care +, you can get a replacement device for a deductible. If not, user damage is not covered under the warranty or regular Apple Care. You would need to see if they will repair the screen (at your cost), or if you would have to purchase an out of warranty replacement.

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

Sorry, there is no feature for that built into Firefox, and I haven't seen an add-on to add that feature to Firefox.

Little Snitch and my mistake, maybe...

i love little snitch. but i wonder if i have accidently told it to stop apple (system) doing something it should.
iget this message in the console every 10 seconds, and i think it's affecting my macbook pro
Dec 11 22:43:34 Macintosh-10 com.apple.launchd[1] (at.obdev.littlesnitchd[1164]): Exited with exit code: 1

Gerry, I'm pretty sure it's a per user basis. I have tried it out and it's monitored my traffic but not my sister's traffic although she's using the same airport express as I am. She'd need to install it herself to see results.
