No longer able to fully customize?

Follow up to closed thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/985948
I have been happily using firefox since ages, although I've never liked the idea nor felt the need of frequent updates. Last January I did the move from 3.6 (aka 10) bundled with my Linux SuSE version to the latest version 28 (that was mainly done to fix a mishap on google maps which after all proved instead to be due to some bad cookies). At the same time I considered also chrome but did not like it. I struggled a bit to reintroduce some nice features I liked (tabs on bottom, text only buttons in menu bar, status bar) than I was reasonably happy and even added some nice plugins. I even found the way in about:config to reduce the ANNOYING frequency in which I was asked to update to a new version.
And so far did not update
This morning BY CHANCE I hit the update button instead of the "ask later", and found myself in version 31 with an APPALLING GUI without menu bar, and without access to some of the plugins (although they appeared to be compatible and active) including the very useful Session Manager. The immediate solution to continue work was to REVERT TO THE BACKUP of firefox 28.
Then I quietly checked the net for resources and experiences, and found that a lot of long-time firefox users do not like the new interface, that apparently there are ways to restore SOME BUT NOT ALL of the old nice features which were unexplainably suppressed. I also learned of the existence of PaleMoon.
I would like to EXPRESS MY IRRITATION for the changes in the UI without a clear notice, or a clear way to revert in full to the previous behaviour.
In the next days, when time allows, I will do (on a fresh separate installation) a thorough check of what is and is not customizable in firefox 31 as well as in PaleMoon, and do my final choice. But what I read so far about PaleMoon is inspiring me to switch over ...

  • Why am I no longer able to customize the order of addon buttons in the addon bar as of Firefox 8.0 beta?

    I have 3 add-ons which place themselves in the add-on bar: NetVideoHunter, Adblock Plus, Rikaichan
    I am no longer able to rearrange them as in the past, using the procedure as quoted from the [[What is the Add-on Bar?]] page. Step three does not appear to work any longer.
    How do I customize the Add-on Bar?
    # Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
    # Drag and drop the items you want into the Add-on Bar.
    # To rearrange items, drag them into the order you want them to appear.

  • LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply. 
    However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
    it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR  Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
    unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
    I  was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
    corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:

    Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.

    I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
    I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
    I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
    I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor  third party disc recording software.
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
    my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
    primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
    then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
    BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
    at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS.  However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
    clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
    made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
    primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
    What is meant with with double Layer Support.
    How much does it cost?

    Could you please really concentrate with me, and really reply to me to finish this problem pending.
    If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

    However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
    or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
    Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
    as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc  drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

  • Since ff4 beta download, i am no longer able to access windows live log in or hotmail in 3.6.8 can it beta though. tried uninstal and removal of beta and no luck

    since the first download of FF4 beta 4 my version of 3.6.8 is not able to access hotmail in any way. can not get the windows live log in page from any method. Not from the MSN link to hotmail or address bar attempts. i get the same error page that there is a problem with the site or something temporary but I can access all hotmail and windows live in ff4 beta. I have uninstalled both and reinstalled 3.6.8 and still am no longer able to go to hotmail. if i want hotmail in ff i need to use the beta version with no other addons. i tried 3.6.8 in safe mode too and no luck. IE8 had no problems and there are no problems with the windows live site as the error page implies. the problem is in 3.6.8 adn i do not know what. i have tried eliminate all add ons and still can not get to hotmail or windows live log in.

    I was able to partially fix this by removing both the beta version and the original 3.6.8 with revo uninstaller in a high mode and got everything but my prefs. It turns out there was a corruption of both as the profiles overlapped somehow. I opted to do a cookie removal of all the cookies that had anything to do with hotmail and windows.live.com sites as one or some of them were corrupt. By doing that i was able to save the rest of my prefs. The only thing is that sync will not work, has an unknown error whenever it tries to sync. I guess i have to redo the sync again as it can not adapt.
    I do not have beta anymore, I was sent an email that I would have to put it on a different directory ,which i had and another email that i had to use the -P option to have a separate profile and uncheck the box 'dont ask at start up' where ever it is. I had not been successful in just the normal uninstallation /reinstallation process but would had to remove all the prefs, and customizations as well and i opted to just change or remove the hotmail things first. so far it has addressed the one question /problem i had.

  • I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency

    I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency.
    Working at a university here in Brazil Unicamp.
    Here we have several projectors model VPL-ES4, we were using this projector with win7 however a few days they all stopped to show the image of computers accusing problem in frequency, we made all the alternatives so that One can be reestablished TRANSMISSION signal however all were in vain, reading in many forums found equal to our cases and the solution presented was to use a computer with win98 and it really worked, but with the end of support for this version of the system we are failing to use it, I wonder how we can solve this problem and why even this ocrrendo.
    I thank you in advance for help and attention

    Yes. NVIDIA+CRT+VGA cable = bad EDID.
    Here's what you can do. Fully remove the xorg.conf file. Regenerate them using nvidia-xconfig, Open the nvidia's GUI as root and just click "Save configuration", or something among those lines. Google your monitor's manual and find the RIGHT vertical and horizontal sync frequency ranges. After setting them in your xorg.conf log-out and log-in again. Go to the nvidia settings gui, you should be able to use a higher resolution.
    I've tried this a few times, but always end up with a "Signal out of range".  I think the trick is finding the correct ranges.  My monitor is a Soyo Topaz S 24", and I can't find any official manual or specs online.  What I have found is this:
    http://www.thinkcomputers.org/old/index … ews&id=733
    That review indicates:
    Frequency: Fh: 30 kHz - 80 kHz; Fv: 50 Hz - 75 Hz
    So I set:
    HorizSync 30-80
    VertRefresh 50-75
    Signal out of range, which is annoying because in order to fix it I either have to reboot using a live CD, mount the drive, or ssh into it.  Whoever started the trend of disabling ctl alt backspace to kill an xsession is not my friend...
    Some other forum posts about this monitor indicate that there may have been two variants, but I can't find a different set of specs.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi, Im trying to get the whole path in my server, so i tried that with this following code
    Get-ChildItem $sourceFolder  -Recurse | ?{$_.PsIsContainer} |Get-Acl
    But then, it showed me somtehing like this :
    Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
     I tried to find the solver everywhere and mostly they propose to change the path name, which is impossible, since I am working with my company server, and those folder have already there before i start to work here, then the other ask me to use robocopy,
    but all of the trick just dont work
    is there any way to solve this problem? thanks

    There is no simple solution to this. And it is not a limitation of powershell itself, but of the underlying NTFS file system.
    If the problem is that a folder with a name longer than 248 exists anywhere within your directory structure, you are hooped.
    If the problem is that some fully qualified path names exceed 260 characters, then, in those cases, the solution already given is to create a psdrive partway up the path from the drive letter or server/share root of the path. Unfortunately, the output produced
    will be relative to that psdrive and not to what is specified as the $sourcefolder.
    unless you already know where those problematic paths are, you might consider trying to trap those errors and have your script figure out where it needs to create psdrives. You might then be able to calculate the equivalent path for each file or folder and
    output that. the programming effort would be simpler to just created a psdrive for each folder encountered, however I expect that would be very inefficient.

  • Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

    Hi ,
    I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
    The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
    My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
    I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
    I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
    "Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
    Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
    The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
    I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
    Thank you for reading my post.

    Hi Kes, a star for the company !
    I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
    And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
    that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
    As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
    particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.
    Good luck,w/ this Q.

  • My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse.  It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book.  At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

    My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse.  It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book.  I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month.  It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone.  Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word.  The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer.  It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have.  The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up.  If it pulls up at all.  I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean.  I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks.  I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either.  I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me.  I do remember when I believe my computer became infected:  I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected.  I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late.  I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all.  I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer.  It refuses to uninstall.  The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible.  If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,

I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected  - an internal error occurred.

    No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8. 

    My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.
