My Mozilla Firefox start page changed yesterday. It's cumbersome. How do I get back the start page I had previously?

The new start page fills the whole screen. You have to bump the cursor against the top margin to reveal the bar showing the tabs and the 'X' to close in the RH corner. At the bottom the start page covers the 'start' box and the information on the bottom row. Now I can't click directly on Bookmarks - I have to click the logo and then use the sidebar to access the bookmarks. I have also lost the ability to switch between the net and the document I am working on.
This new configuration may suit some people, but the previous one was straightforward and better for me. How do I get it back, and prevent Firefox updating it again to this version?

Hey Revert back changes (if you don't like) via settings on right top side . Also send a related image so we gave you exact info about the settings. You can Shut automatic updates (but it may leads some issues) via
'''option'''-> '''advance''' ->'''update''' now choose any one of the following :
* Automatically Install Updats
* Let me choose
* never check for

What you describe is normal behavior for HDV capture using FCE.
DV captures as one clip or may split the clip if there are timecode breaks on the tape.
HDV always breaks clips at the shot changes using FCE.
HDV cameras can downconvert to DV even if HDV was used to record the footage so it's important to know what the camera outputs during FCE capture.
Maybe this is why you have had mixed results with the differing capture windows?

How do I get to the start page when I'm not on it currently? there used to be a buttom for it

I recently updated to version 6.0.2 of Firefox. This version doesn't seem to have a "home page" button. How do I get to the home page when I'm currently not on it? I shouldn't have to press the "backpage" button until I get there or type it in to get there.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar if you do not like that new position.

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

Hi Terry,
2 minutes ago I was on a page in the community that had content 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago etc. Now I can't find it. I see 1 hour ago, 4 hours ago... How do I get back to that page.
When you say "2 minutes ago" was that literally 2 minutes ago, or did the page stay idle for some time? The page does not automatically update and continues to show the times of posts when last opened. If you leave the page and return to it, it will then update (reload) with new elapsed times.
Questions and replies come thick and fast. Perhaps the thread has been pushed down the page by newer posts. It could have been pushed to another page. Click on the Next button (top and bottom of page). "Next" is actually older posts (they are stored in descending time order).
Have you followed suggestions by b j t and ~Bee?

Ian.

How do I get back the capacity on my start up disk?

I deleted about half of my startup disk capacity when I was trying to partition. I own a 128gb macbook pro late 2013 retina. How do I get back the capacity? The part I deleted had free space. My storage reads 30.64gb free of 60.24gb.

Then here's my suggestion.
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
This will give you a whole new start on the SSD.

TS1702 How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

"BSOsoft". You really ought to practice asking coherent questions.
If I have downloaded the same app as you, I'd guess tapping the button called "Download All Pro - Click Here to Download" which is right at the top of the FAQ screen might be as good a guess as any.

I am on NYT website second page , how do I get back to main page as key board short cut

I have gone to another page on website ie NYT or medical journal on web , I have read the article now I want to go back to main menu, Any keyboard short cuts other than back back etc.

''How do I get back to my original page after reading several articles from that page''
{Mac user}
You've indicated a preference for '''[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts keyboard shortcuts]'''. There is no keyboard shortcut to go back a known or unknown number of pages within the same tab without using BACK, BACK, BACK ("Alt+left-arrow" {"command+left-arrow"}). There are a couple of exceptions to this.
'''Suppose NYT is your home page''' and you want to throw away everything in the tab with Ctrl+W {command+W} (was close the window but with tabs that is now close the Tab). So you do that and then you want to reopen your home page use "Alt+Home" {"Option+Home"}.
Another way of doing but without NYT being your home page, would be to make a bookmark with a '''[http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcut]''' such as "NYT:" or "NYT". So you would do exactly the same time as before but instead of bringing up your home page use the keyword shortcut to bring your NYT page. I recommend "'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/ Add Bookmark Here ²]'''" extension (60.4 KB) for working with keyword shortcuts and its additional bookmarking features ([http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/addbookmarkhere2.txt additional documentation]).
If you change your method of browsing to try to keep Tabs with only one level in them then you can use keyboard shortcuts to close each tab after reading it. There are two main methods of reading reading articles. Say we start with a bunch of blogs in a bookmark folder and open that folder into tabs as a starting point.
'''One method''' is to read the main blogs '''without interruption''' except to open links in the background at the far right end of the tabs bar for later viewing (Firefox 2 method). Closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
'''The other is to keep interrupting what you are reading''', by opening into a new tab in the foreground and reading that before continuing where you left off (Firefox 3). As with the other method, closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
You can read about setting up opening tabs at the far right as in Firefox 2, or opening tabs next to the parent article as in Firefox 3. The Firefox 3 method is going to present problems no matter how you work it, when dealing with sub articles next to the parent or to that of an offspring.
You can read more about opening tabs and [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tab_capacity/001_with_underscore.htm#taborder Order of Tabs in Tabs Bar -- Tests].
Just want to make sure this question was not based on there being no drop-down on the Back/Forward toolbar buttons -- you now use right-click to provide you with the same list as before old stuff on button, new stuff on top (limit of seeing 15 items in list at a time).
You can make '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
