Of late the Alt F function does not operate to find personal names within a document while safari has no such restriction. Why is that? John Azzi

Firefox has been my default browser for years but lately I have been unable to use the alt F "find" function" to search for case names in case reports posted at www.austlii.edu.au.
Specifically, I was searching (using alt F function) for a particular case name (Hooker v Gilling) in a recent Federal Court judgment (International All Sports [2011] FCA 824) and was notified that it did not appear despite the judge (Jessup J) clearly referring to Hooker in his judgment. The same thing occurred in other cases. This has never occurred previously and therefore I wonder if it is a limiting function purposefully inserted to make life less convenient!

Seems to be working here if I look for Hooker

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

    Try one of your other USB ports. Be sure to insert it with the plated fingers pointing upwards.

  • The "New Tab" function does not work either from the tab bar, the File drop down menu or using CTRL+T

    The new tab is visible on the the tab bar but clicking on it does not open a new tab.Neither can I open a new tab from the File drop down menu, nor the Ctrl+T method as indicated in the troubleshooting guide.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' which many users have reported causing that problem.

  • I have purchased Quicktime Pro and entered the registration key but does not operate.  Apple does not have a support tab for this so I'd appreciate any help.  I have Windows 7 Home.

    I have purchased Quicktime Pro and entered the registration code.  It indicates at it has been installed, but it does not run.  Any suggestions? 

    The trim to selection function is available and it appears to be working.  For now, I seem to be operable as Pro even though the header doesn't say so. Thanks.

  • 'Find' function does not appear to work in TextEdit on .txt documents

    Most of the time the 'Find' function on the TextEdit application does not appear to work on .txt documents.  I have verified this by using Find on words that I know are in a document, and it cannot find them.  I've tried different options on the 'Find' function without success.  This appears to have started with version 10.6.8.  Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading to 10.6.8?

    Thanks -- but I swear it worked fine prior to either the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 updates and now it doesn't.  I'll just keep experimenting and playing around with it and see if I can get it to work.  Maybe the new Lion O.S. coming out will fix it, although I'm not going to rush -- I made the mistake of putting Snow Leopard on right after it came out and had problems with some programs not working properly anymore (like Pro Tools, for example).  Always a good idea to hold off until most of the bugs get fixed. 

  • HT1420 What if the "deauthorize all" function does not work?

    Greetings!
    I recently added a new iMac 27 to my "fleet" and encountered the "you already have five computers" authorized message when I tried to authorize the new machine in iTunes.
    After booting up a number of computers around the house and office, I managed to find one that I did not know was still authorized. I deauthorized it, but to no avail. Still getting the, "you have five computers..." message.
    So I thought I would try the "deauthorize all" option in my iTunes account settings and start from scratch on the machines I still use.
    However, it did not work.
    I am very reluctant to try hitting that button again, as Apple makes it clear this is a "once a year" option.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Note: I have two devices and five computers associated/authorized with my Apple ID. This is a computer authorization issue.
    Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide!

    These instructions are for 10.8. In 10.7, the application is called "Address Book."
    Back up all data.
    In Contacts, select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Contacts Archive
    from the menu bar, and save the archive to your Desktop.
    If you use iCloud, disable contact synchronization in the iCloud preference pane. When prompted, click Delete From Mac. Re-enable synchronization. Wait for the contacts to re-synchronize, then test.
    If you don't use iCloud, or if the contacts fail to synchronize, delete all contacts, then select
    File ▹ Import…
    and import the archive you created. It may take a few seconds for the contacts to be indexed. Test.
    If you don't like the results of this procedure, quit the application. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder

  • Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

    While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

    '''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
    Solution:
    I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
    Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
    After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

    When I try to reply to an e-mail, I get the message that the recipents e-mail address was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How do I fix this?

    Try this. Sometimes this is all that you need to do to fix that issue. Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • How do I delete documents from my iPad that were added when it ran regular Acrobat, now that it has switched to DC?  The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for non-cloud docs.

    I use an iPad.  It automatically switched me from old-fashioned Acrobat to DC.  How do I delete docs that were put on my iPad with the old Acrobat?  They are not in the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for them.

    Hi,
    By default, Acrobat DC for iOS displays recently viewed files.  You need to switch to other file location (such as Local, Document Cloud, Creative Cloud) to delete, rename, move, or duplicate files.
    You can switch to Local, if you would like to see the files and folders that are locally stored on your iPad.
    Would you take a look at the following document to see how you can switch to other file location and delete files?

    Please let us know if you have additional questions.  Thank you.

  • Crystal Report for VS2010 - The Go To Page function does not work

    When running a report into Crystal(VS2010), the Go To Page function does not work.  Typing in a page number and pressing Enter does not take you to that page.  The report remains on the current page. I'm not sure if there is suppose to be a button like the one in Crystal 8.5(VS2008).

    As long as you are using the CR assemblies for VS .NET, the viewer (Win) should look like this:
    Remember, the ActiveX viewer based on the Report Designer Component (RDC, referencing craxdrt.dll) is not supported in VS 2010.
