Looking for a way to optimize firefox for dsl

i recently switched from cable to dsl.
during the setup a small app from at&t tweaked ie8 to optimize the browser for dsl.
ie8 now loads pages faster than firefox 3.6.8!
is there an add on or set of tweaks that i can apply to optimize firefox ?

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers
Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (Java Platform: Download JRE)
Be careful with extensions like Fasterfox that make significant changes to network prefs. Not all sites may work well with such tweaks and by making too many connections to a server you may annoy administrators and get banned.

Looking for a way to monitor forums for a text string.

Hi as the subject says I'm looking for a way to monitor various forums for a list of text strings and give me a link to the post. I'm have tried googling but cant find anything specific enough I've tried looking at methabot but am unsure as to if this is the right sort of program, anyone with any experience or ideas in this area would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

you could write a daemon method which would, every so often, search the forums for the keyword.
Better yet, you can use google's "site: bbs.archlinux.org keyword format to do your search.
But, be sure not to do it too often. If you keep banging a particular forum website too often, your ip might get banned.

Please send instructions for correct way to UNINSTALL Firefox 5.0 and REINSTALL Firefox 3.6.3 and preserve all my cookies and bookmarks. DPGannon at sbcglobal dot net

Very simple: I do NOT want to use Firefox 5.0. I did not intend for it to be installed on this computer and need to get rid of it and go back to Firefox 3.6.3. Please send instructions on how I can do that without loosing my cookies and bookmarks.
I have been a fan and supporter of Mozilla and Firefox from the very beginning, but this latest release that appears to be a way to look like Google Chrome (that I hate) has me just about ready to hold my nose and go back to IE.
What were you guys thinking?????
Thank you.

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

When will you optimize Firefox for Mac OSX Lion?

Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

"Accessed denied" for Windows Media Player in Firefox for specific video

I get an "Access denied" error message after the video loads, it plays the intro video and the I get the error. Why?
Specifically, here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/video_player/popup.php?sid=6145418&pid=927204
The video will appear, show the intro, then give the "Access denied" error message. This happens to me in Firefox 1.5.

Install Flip4Mac WVM, http://www.flip4mac.com/, and see if that fixes the Safari problem. As I mentioned earlier, all trailers play without any problem.

Firefox for Android: Search not working.

I just got Firefox for Android yesterday and I've been having the problem of the address bar being very inconsistent and giving me very strange results.
The very first thing I typed into the app was the first word that came to mind as a long-time user of Firefox for Windows: "woot". The expectation was that it would open up google search for the term "woot". Instead, it lead me to some website at www.woot.com.
Afterwards, I tried several other terms and found the following results: (quotes not included in the search)
"word" lead to a "Domain Not Found" page from my ISP
" word " lead to the same as above.
"word anotherword" lead to a Google search results page.
"amazon" lead to amazon.com
"aw" lead to a Google search results page.
"it" lead to a Google search results page.
"go" lead to a "Domain Not Found" page from my ISP.
This all left me very dismayed, as typing in ANY of the above terms into my PC's Firefox's address bar as well as my old Opera Android browser's bars, would give me a Google search results page for the terms. Even when I search for "amazon", I expect to be given the option of searching for amazon rainforests instead of being forcibly taken directly to amazon.com.
So my main question is this: Is there any way to force Firefox for Android to use Google search *no matter what* is typed into the address bar?
I custom-fit a lot of the about:config settings for my FF on Windows to my liking, but have not been able to find a list of setting explanations for the Android version of FF. I am hoping that my problem can be fixed with some settings; and also if anyone has a list of them with explanations, I would highly appreciate a link to it.
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I was testing those on my home Wifi (optimum ISP), as that is what I use most. I did test with my phone carrier's 4g also and did get slightly different results, but still does not fix the problem. Here are the differences:
======================
"woot":
* [Wifi] leads to www.woot.com.
* [4G] tries to go to http://woot/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
"word":
* [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
* [4G] tries to go to http://word/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
" word ":
* [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
* [4G] ignores spaces and tries to go to http://word/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
"word anotherword"
* [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
* [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
"amazon"
* [Wifi] leads to amazon.com.
* [4G] tries to go to http://amazon/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
"aw"
* [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
* [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
"it"
* [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
* [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
"go"
* [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
* [4G] tries to go to http://go/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
======================
So weird! Can't even find much of a pattern minus that two words seem to do okay.
Furthermore, I just updated Firefox Android to version 24.0 which came out yesterday. Same exact results and the problem still persists.
I am using an HTC Amaze 4G from T-Mobile. Android version 4.0.3. All stock and unrooted.
Thank you again so much for your help!

Where i can find firefox for nokia symbian device ?

there is any way to use firefox for my symbian S60 or symbian^3 nokia smartphone ?.

The article '''mbrubeck '''links to on the "''future''" says: "''We are working to bring Firefox Home to both Blackberry and Symbian platforms in the coming months''". That was over a year ago. Ahh this IT land of casually discarded hopes and promises.
The only option for Nokia users now may be to defect to Opera. There are two versions of this (Mobile and Mini) and both work well on my N97 mini (S60 5thEd). Sad to discover this, as I was just getting enthused about the Synch facility on Firefox.

I have the old version of Firefox but when I download the update for firefox for the Mac OS X it says it is not compatible with my system which is 10.4.11 on the Mac. Can someone help me.

I need to update my current version of firefox for the Mac and when I do it says it is not compatible for my system but I can't find anywhere that it says what the system requirements are for the new version of firefox for the Mac.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

BSOD after using firefox for a minute.

Not sure what happened exactly but here's the details.
Basically I run using my on board Gigabit lan when at home on my desktop, however my girlfriends router is not on same level as her computer so wireless is necessary. I purchased a D-Link 160 dual band usb adapter to connect at her place. I installed the drivers then plugged in the adapter as instructed. Everything was fine at her house. When I got home I went back to my Gigabit hardware again. My computer ran fine IE10 worked fine but for some reason after using Firefox for about a minute it would crash my computer BSOD. Facebook, Google, trying to research issue so basically any website caused the problem. So I thought it could have been the D-Link drivers but I rolled my system back to before the D-Link install and still had the issues. I re installed my Firefox and so far all is well. So perhaps it was an update or perhaps it was drivers interfering. The date it started happening is July 5th. So depending when last update was could have been that.
As for Specs
Windows Pro x64
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
Kingston Hyper X genisus 16GB
AMD FX-8320
2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda Raid 0
Asus GTX 650 Ti Boost
Thats most parts that could remotely be causing the issue. Let me know if you solve anything if its just me the D-Link or an update would just like to know what went wrong. As I said re installing Firefox worked so perhaps drivers changed settings or something but i think system roll back should have fixed that I am not a pro though so any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Looking for a way to broadcast a line in to the Airpot Express?

Looking for a way to run line input into my macbook and broadcast it to the Airport Express to Play on my Stereo..

It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

Looking for a way to Export Still Image to iPhoto

Hi I'm looking for a way to export a still image from iMovie 08 to iPhoto 08? The simple drag, help, web search etc doesn't seem to come up with an answer but it's been a long day.
Thanks

Find the still within an event clip, right mouse, select add still frame to project. Repeat for all the stills you want.
In Finder under pictures, you should find files for all the stills you created. Import them into Iphoto and there you have it.
There is probably an easier way but this is not too bad.
