Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing

Used to, I could organize my drop down book mark list from the tool bar, in alphabetical order from A-Z by clicking on view, sort by, select . Now every time I add a new bookmark it goes to the bottom of my bookmark list in Unsorted bookmarks . I can go to the bookmarks and sort the menu in Alpha. order. However, when I go back and drop down the bookmark list from the tool bar, the new bookmarks are still in the Unsorted list at the bottom. The bookmark's menu may or not have them in assorted list. This occurred several updates back. Why can I no longer sort the drop down book marks list in A-Z alph. order? This is a major obstacle when trying to search for a particular bookmark that I have made in the not too distant past.
That did solve my problem. Madperson Thank You Very Much!!!!! I'm not real literate on the mechanics of working computers even though I use them all the time. Basically I'm a point & click kinda guy and beyond that I'm pure novice! This is going to save me a lot of wasted time.

I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

I have an Adobe Flash Professionals digital classroom book and was following all steps easily until it ask me to select the text tool and change it from classic to tfl in the property inspector. I looked and all that drops down is dynamic, static, and input. Where is the TFL and Classic ? I watched adobe learning center but he was using CS5. Can anyone please help?
Hi,
Do you use Flash CS6 to follow the instructions in the classroom book? If yes, then you can find it under text drop down for an AS3 Document as shown below
If you follow the instruction in Flash CC or Flash CC2014 then you will not find this option as this is deprecated.
Thanks!

I do my banking online, and have previously been able to print my statements off the website. Since the last update, although the page shows in the browser as normal, the option to print from the drop-down file menu is greyed out and I cannot print anything, even if I try and select a portion. It is not a problem with the website as I can print without a problem in another browser program. This problem has now persisted for quite a while with no resolution over time. How do I get Firefox to allow print from a secure website (I assume that is the problem?) It occurs with more than one secure site (two different banks)
I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811325''
This only happens on the home page. The drop down appears as soon as the "Bing Web Search" at the top of the page disappears as one scrolls down the page and remains visible until I scroll all the way back to the top of the home page.Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

The only options in the search feature (in the top right corner of FF) are Delicious and Norton Safe Search. It's the Google search I'm looking for; it's the only one I ever use.
Thank you, cor-el. Your helpful instructions were far over my head. I ended up downgrading to a previous version of Firefox, and all the browser options returned.
THEN... the Norton went fubar, and we lost use of all browsers; couldn't connect to the Internet at all on that laptop. Ended up pulling out an old one, found a Norton representative who instructed us to download onto a flash drive, and used that to uninstall the Norton. Now we have all browsers working normally, with all search functions intact. -
After several frustrating attempts to connect the IBook G3 10.4.11 OS (I have no idea if that is a Lion or a Seahorse or whatever) to my wi-fi network I realized that the problem is the security setting. The only security option is WEP but my router is WPA2. Is there a work around or would it be necessary to purchase a new(er) Airplay card (which I'm not willing to do)? I also have no inclination to alter the security settings on my router as I have several other devices already connected. It's either alter the software settings on the IBook G3 or forget it. I'm also assuming that I would be unsuccessful at connecting the G3 even if I used an ethernet cable. Please verify.
I don't mind if this question is hijacked to explain the options I've already ruled out, for those who may be willing to do so.
ThanksThe iBook's 802.11b - only AirPort card can use WPA but not WPA2. The card cannot be upgraded. USB wireless adapters may be an option worth considering though I have none to recommend.
I'm also assuming that I would be unsuccessful at connecting the G3 even if I used an ethernet cable.
That's not correct. All iBooks have Ethernet ports. Using it would obviate its need for wireless security. Other than the need for a cable, Ethernet beats wireless in all respects. -
Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac?
Tiger or Leopard?
Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?Go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". You will get a window similar to this one -
You current OS X version number will be shown as I've marked.
OS X 10.4.x is Tiger, 10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard, 10.7.x is Lion, and 10.8.x is Mountain Lion.
Whether or not you can go to the latest OS X version depends upon your hardware -
You will need to purchase the retail set for the OS X version you want; there is no pint in getting and installing any intermediate versions. Once the retail version has been installed, you can update it to the latest release for that version via download updater. -
Since update, all CC apps no longer will launch from menu bar drop down
Accepted prompt to update CC apps, and now the menubar drop down menu lists two versions of every app I've installed — one with "(2014)" after the name.
And none of the apps will now launch from the menubar drop down CC app list.
How I downgrade back to the CC version that actually worked fine?Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Please read this and provide the pertinent information:

Update from Edge 2.0 to 3.0 messed up drag and drop
Greetings,
Win7, Edge 3.0
I just updated from Edge 2.0 to 3.0 and now my previously working drag and drop doesn't work.
This is the code I have in Stage > creationComplete...
yepnope({nope:['jquery-ui.min.js','jquery.ui.touch-punch.min.js'],complete: init});
//when yepnope has loaded everything execute init();
//sym.$('parentIcon').css({
function init(){
//Use the code! Draggable! Droppable!!
sym.$('parentIcon').draggable({revert:'invalid', cursor:"pointer"});
//Droppable... on the target!
sym.$('stepsDirectionsBox').droppable({
accept: sym.$('parentIcon'),
drop: function() {
sym.play('open');
It worked in the past, but now it doesn't.
Thanks for any help,
RYour corrected file here: https://app.box.com/s/gnmctk8gjnydzgbsj6bc
you need to remove function init() line and last }
leave only this:
sym.$('draggable').draggable({revert:'invalid', cursor:"pointer"});
//Droppable... on the target!
sym.$('droppable').droppable({
accept: sym.$('parentIcon'),
drop: function() {
sym.play("correct");

Configuring Server to update from Localhost
Please pardon my ignorance. I'm a Unix guy. I'm not a Windows hater, just a little frustrated.
I'm working with a disconnected network scenario. The export server has been synchronized and the WSUSContent and metadata have been transferred to the Import Server (Server 2012 Standard).
The question now is how do you get the Import Server to update from itself?
The WSUS Configuration in 2012 only has the option to point to another upstream server. Do I simply point it to itself? It can't be that easy.
Next question is, how do I get Server 2012 to initiate an update?WSUS is the server-side aspect, WUAgent is the client-side aspect.
Your (disconnected) WSUS, and the WSUS configuration of it, relates only to it's role as a WSUS server.
The machine (as does every other Windows machine) also has WUAgent (the WU client component) which needs to be configured, and, can be configured to be served by itself.
Treat this aspect of the WSUS server, just as you would all of the other clients that will be served by this host.
i.e., on the WSUS server machine, configure the relevant WUServer registry settings (manually, or via admin template/GPO)
How does WS2012 initiate updating? It's the same as for every other Windows machine (either client or server OS editions):
configure the registry settings (you can use the GUI to set the updating behaviour, but there is no GUI method for setting the WSUS server name to be managed-by).
You can also use console commands such as: wuauclt /detectnow
You can check the resultant activity of WUAgent by examining c:\windows\windowsupdate.log
(example of windowsupdate.log from my Win8.1 pc, after initiating the detection)

when i use ver 29 i get past menu drop downs. when i get the automatic update to 33 or higher I can't get the pull down menu. I don't like to type in the search work every time I go to a web site. It should remember where I've been or at least let me keep ver 29 without automatic updating., I've tried to set the firewall not to update but it does it anyway. some firewall. Thanks if you can help this. I'll have to go to safe mode and revert to yesterday and download ver 29 again, I can do this everyday but that makes me not want to use firefox. I don't want to leave firefox. I like it. ! HELP?????
in firefox 33 the search field on the homepage will now populate by search suggestions provided by the search engine once you start typing -this is why the dropdown with your entries from history is no longer there unfortunately...
