My Firefox system seems to automatically use a town to provide information those automatic banner displays, but it is NOT my town. How do I set or reset this feature to be my hommetown versus another?

Several different advertisers seem to use an embedded setting to display a map within their banner display, however, it is not my town, but one close by.
A couple weeks ago, a Firefox window popped up, without my involvement, asking me to verify certain information on it. It seemed to be a 'general settings' window from Firefox and I noticed it had the name of the 'other' town listed in the field labeled "Your Location" (or something close to that), so I changed it to the 'correct' name of my hometown and closed the window properly.
This action caused no issues (i.e. it wasn't a Trojan virus or anything) and seemed to have cleared up the incorrect banner maps, maybe as I didn't pay too close attention recently. However, today I again noticed the system using the 'other' town's name when displaying those banner map ads.
How can I set/reset this setting to the name of my correct 'home'town?

You can automatically save downloads without seeing the Open/Save/Cancel dialog in the Options:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > General > "Saves files to"
However, I can't think of a way to have the Open/Save/Cancel dialog always default to Save. I think mine suggests whatever I did last for the same type of content, but I haven't paid close attention.
I'm out of time to address the problem with "do this automatically" but there is one suggestion for why it could be grayed out in this article: [[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]].
Is it possible you had a download-related extension before? To compare settings and extensions, please retain the Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. Aside from checking the extensions in there, it would be interesting to run a text file comparison on your currently active prefs.js file and your old one in that folder.

I have an older Airport Base Snow that I gave to my brother to use for his apartment. It's connected to a cable modem and I have a network but it is not protected. How do I set a password? There is no computer in this setup, just an iPad

I Have an older Snow Airport Base that I gave to my brother to use in his apartment. It is connected to a cable router. I have a network established but it is not secure. How do I password protect this network? There is no computer in this setup, only an iPad. Thanks!

If this base station is actually the "snow" then you will need a Mac or PC that can run a version of the AirPort Utility that can administer this "very old" 802.11b base station. You won't be able to do so with an iOS device or Mac running Lion or newer OS.

Used Firefox almost exclusively, then it stopped working. I reinstalled, find the program in Programs, but it will not load. How do I fix in Windows XP?

Firefox will not start. It had been my default browser. I downloaded and reinstalled program running Windows XP. When I click on icon on desktop, or attempt to run from Programs, nothing happens.
Permissions did not change in the McAfee security software
This is what shows in Properties:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
File version: 1.9.2.3989
File size: 890 KB (912,344 bytes)
Coincidentally, Windows Messenger now attempt to start every time I try to open an Internet Browser

The [[Firefox will not start]] article may help.
You can try creating a new profile to see if the problem is with your current profile (the profile is where Firefox stores user data). For details on doing that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
If the new profile does work, you can copy selected data from the old profile, as shown in the "Suggested profile contents to transfer" section of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile] article.

I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

In using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional I have added oval shapes to a form, but they do not print. How do I get all shapes to print?

I am using a Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional as the Operating System.

File > Page Setup = Scale
The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.

Is there a 64-bit version of Firefox? I searched on line and found a page I could download it from, but it did not look official to me...

This was the website
http://www.firefox64bit.com
but I don't know if it is by Mozilla, so I didn't download it. Is it a safe download?

hello, at the moment there are no stable 64bit releases of firefox - the waterfox project offers ports of the firefox browser in 64bit. please use the download link provided directly on their website to make sure the setup is safe & legit.

The iPhone has a feature called "Activation Lock" described here:

Without that Apple ID, you will not be able to use that iPhone.

As newer iPhones and iOS versions are made, apps start to drop support for the older versions of the iOS. It looks like you have fallen victim to this. I commend you for sticking with the original iPhone until now, but it looks like it's time for an upgrade if you want to use apps that have dropped support.
Also the new iPhone provides hundreds of new features and spec upgrades from the original. Check it out! http://www.apple.com/iphone/

I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.
