Microsoft opens up about more Windows 10 preview features in the works
Carey Frisch

From that article:
Belfiore did officially acknowledge some of the coming Windows 10 under-the-cover features that were disclosed early in a Microsoft blog post which was later pulled —such as the fact
a Microsoft Account won't be required for login (users will be able to use Azure Active Directory for single sign-on instead).
Is there seriously any possibility that a true local account won't be possible?
That's "last straw" material.  Microsoft needs to be careful.

Linux is starting to be more appealing.

  • When I have 4 or 5 tabs open, selecting one of them often forces that tab to open as a new window and close in the original window

    FF 32.0.1. Moving between tabs that are already open, clicking on one which I have opened before forces it to close and open as a new window, which is a real pain. It seems to happen when I have 4 or 5 open tabs, rather than 2 or 3.
    This has only been happening in the last week, after a clean Windows reinstall.
    I've searched and found lots of people have problems with new windows opening when they just want a new tab, but this seems to be about opening fresh tabs rather than returning to one that's already open, so I can't find the same problem as I describe.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Just updated to Firefox 3.6.9, I'm building a site and the Dreamweaver CS3 Preview feature no longer works in previewing my pages. Any fixes available?

    Just updated to Firefox 3.6.9 this morning. I'm building a site using Dreamweaver CS3 for a class and the Preview feature was working fine before the update. I can preview my pages in other browsers successfully, but now if I choose Firefox, no window opens.
    I have a Macbook Pro, OS X.

    Sorry, Mozilla did a security fix that broke Dreamweaver with Firefox. Virtually no other programs were broken with that fix, and considering the age of Dreamweaver (~5 years since it was last updated) they decided not to back-out that security fix for one old, elderly program. This problem was discussed at length back in January and February after Firefox 3.6 was first released.

  • Could someone from support please post a credible fix for the fact that the Dreamweaver preview feature hasn't worked since FF3.6 came out, and still won't work in FF3.6.10

    Ever since FF3.6 came out there has been an issue with the Dreamweaver preview feature. As a result, I uninstalled 3.6 and am hanging out with 3.5.9 until this issue is resolved. Every time a new version of Firefox comes out I do a Google search to see if the issue has been resolved. I just did another search, and as of 9/23/10 with FF3.6.10 this issue is still not resolved. Could Firefox Support please provide a credible article about resolving this issue. People have been posting about it for years, and the only useful advice I have seen is for people to go back to 3.5.9 !?
    I am currently working with Mac OS10.4.11, and DW CS3, but I have seen people post about having this issue with Mac OS10.5 and DW CS4 and other configurations, so the problem seems pretty universal.

    A Dreamweaver CS user came up with a fix for Dreamweaver: <br />
    http://solutions.marketingmedley.com/
    There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

  • Clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, but the window will open up but it appears blank

    When clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, the window will open up but it will just appear blank and says Type a Web address in the top bar.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • Firefox4 "Open Link in new Tab" and "Open Link in new Windows" switch back to the old FF3 version

    Am I the only one finding this annoying?
    I want to know how to switch "open link in new tab" and "open link in new Windows" like it was in Firefox 3.
    If you mousehover on a link and press the right mousebutton.

    Sara, I started having the same problem yesterday. In my case I was able to remedy it by disabling FasterFox 3.9.81. If you don't have that installed, I would recommend turning off your extensions (one by one), restarting firefox, and testing until you find the offender. Hope that helps!

  • When I open Itunes it says,Windows could not start the bonjour service on local computer.

    Just recently, I had a problem with the AVFoundation  thing on my computer. Well I got that fixed, but now it has a message coming up that says " Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
                                               Please tell me how to fix it.

    Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
    That's an unfamiliar one, steve.
    Let's see what happens if we try to start the service manually.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications"
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the Window to better see what's going on.)
    Select the Bonjour Service and click "Start".
    Do you get an error message then? If so, what does that one say?

  • HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

    I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I can't open Firefox no more, I try clicking on the icon but it doesn't even load anymore.

    After some time I realized I can not open Firefox anymore.
    I have always used Firefox as my default browser and I really like their features, it's the best browser for me, but for 2 weeks I haven't had the possibility to open it.
    I have tried many ways, such as try to open new tab, or try to open new windows, or try to open new private session but none worked. It's impossible to load Firefox. I have been searching on different sites to finally resolve my problem but it didn't help me at all.
    I also reinstalled it many times but the same problem.
    Thanks in advance and any help will be welcomed.

    sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. This may not be a problem with the fire fox instead this may be a problem with your computer.
    Plz check your computer for virus mainly "Trojan". download an antivirus and run a full scan and also be updated to latest fire fox version.

  • How do you get a topic to open in a custom window when accessed from the index?

    I right click on an index key word and open Properties. There is only one topic associated with this key word. I click on the Advanced tab, select the custom window that I created. Click OK, compile, etc.
    When I try to access this topic from the index, it still opens in the default pane. When I access it from the TOC, it opens in the custom window. How can I get the topic to open in the custom window from the index?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    The link might not work in Preview (When the option to open link in new tab is checked) however it will work if you do a File>Preview page/site in Browser.
    Muse Preview has only one tab and cannot open another tab/window which is why this functionality does not work in Muse Preview. but works in preview in Browser and in published site.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • Can I chnge the context menu "open in new tab / window" options back to the previous version (reverse order)?

    In Firefox 4, the context menu "open in new tab / open in new window" options are in reverse order compared to 3.6. Can this be "fixed," i.e. change the menu item order? I use this feature constantly and it's a matter of habit, also still use some 3.6 machines.

    You can use the Menu Editor extension to re-arrange the menus - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

  • I can't seem to get firefox to open a new blank window by going to the menu or doing "comand n" is there a setting disableing new windows?

    also when i click a link on an email in thunderbird nothing happens and when i try to rip a tab off to make its own window it disapears.

    You can inspect and adjust the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.

    I exchanged my iPod for a new one. Will the computer accept the new iPod? I will no longer use the old one. Is there anything else that I should know about?
