Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
- but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
- or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
- or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
- or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
- before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Use old-style search bar"
This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

    You are right, a lot of older dead podcasts do not belong in the podcasts section. But there is still a lot of these podcasts that have good information and deserve to still be listed.

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • How do I get FF to focus on a new tab? I right-click and choose "Open in New Tab" and the Tab appears in the Tab bar but I cannot access or see the new page.

    I open FF ver.10. My Home page is Google Search. I use a Bookmark and open, say, Hulu.com. I select a link by right-clicking and choose "Open in New Tab" The little tab in the tab bar opens but I am still viewing the Hulu.com main page and cannot view the new tab.
    This happens even if I use middle-click to open a new tab. It happens with all links on any website I visit.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

    When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Question
    I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • Can't find how to create on-the-fly playlists using search

    I used to make ad-hock playlists on the fly using the quick search in iTunes 10:I would display a list of songs (the full library or from a play list), type somethings in the quicksearch box, and the list would narrow down to the search results, where then I could simply hit "play" and use these results as a temporary ad-hoc playlist.
    That features seems to be gone- even after getting iTunes 11 to LOOK like iTunes 10, typing any search term will show (partial) results in a drop down menu, not narrowing the display, and no option in a single click to simply play the results.
    Am I missing something? Did Apple really remove that functionality?

  • Print images created on the fly by a servlet

    Please, look at it... my tiff image doesn't print in my browser (IE6).
    Could somone tell me why !????
    // Method of a "Page" class
    public void write (OutputStream out) {
                // Reading of the tiff file (this.tempFile is a valid File)
         PlanarImage image    = JAI.create("fileload", this.tempFile.getCanonicalPath ());
                /*   // Test : the writed file is a valid tiff file --> the reading is OK !
                 *   File outFile = new File ("c:\\temp\\JLdsWeb\\Test.tif");
                 *   RenderedOp op = JAI.create("filestore", image, outFile.getCanonicalPath (), "tiff");
         // Writing of the tiff file in the received OutputStream
                JAI.create("encode", image, out, this.FORMAT_NAME, null);
    // my 1st JSP :page.jsp (to call the 2nd JSP witch have an other content type)
    <%@page

    language="java"
    errorPage="errorpage.jsp"
    import="com.damaris.ldsweb.*,com.damaris.data.*,com.damaris.page.*,java.util.*"

        // pageToPrint is an instance of the class "Page" (getContentType ( ) give the String "image/tiff")

    <%
        ServletOutputStream bOut = response.getOutputStream();
        pageToPrint.write (bOut);
    %>
    </body>
    </html>

    You can get the Servlet to write an image out by changing the content type of the response object to "image/jpeg" and write the bytes of the image out down a ServletOutputStream you create from the response object.
    You must change the content type before you write anything to the response object. The servlet can only produce the image.
    I did it once but I've lost my code and am now trying to recreate it (I changed it to having a server app do the image processing and writing it to a socket which the servlet read the bytes from and wrote them to the ServletOutputStream but now want the servlet to do the processing).

  • Creating on the fly dynamic named bind variable names.

    I have an application process which gets called by a Dynamic action and Javascript.
    Everything is working great however I'm using it to drive dynamic charts.
    I could use IF statements at the end of the application process to decide what BIND vairable to fill with the information the process has collected however I'd prefer just to create the BIND variable from the
    name of the submitted information.
    So I have an application level variable called WHICHCHART. this gets populated with text upon calling the application process...so let's say 'chart1' is what it gets filled with.
    What I"d like to have at the end of the application process is just a bind variable waiting called :chart_1.
    So no matter what the value of WHICHCHART it will create an on the fly a bind variable with the same name.

    Ok. I guess this question was more how do you do this..then OH NO there are not other ways to do this.
    So I have a page with a chart region. this chart will have 3 Y Axes which prohibits the use of the default XML.
    So..
    I have the following Javscript:
    function getdata(whichchart) {
      var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=VM_XML_GENERATION',0);
            get.add('WHICHCHART',whichchart);
            gReturn = get.get('XML');
      get = null;
    Which is called when the page loads by a dynamic action:
    getdata('production');
    When the javascript is called as you can see it fires off:
    declare
       chart_series_data VARCHAR(32767);
       type array_cols is varray(7) of varchar2(100);
       array array_cols := array_cols('VM_HOSTS_NUM','VM_NUMBER','VM_PHYS_MEM','VM_VIRT_MEM','VM_CPU_COUNT', 'VM_TOTAL_DISK','VM_PROVISIONED_DISK');
    BEGIN
    --IF :WHICHCHART IS NULL THEN
    --RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'Chart variable not set');
    --END IF;
    chart_series_data := null;
    chart_series_data := '      <data>'||chr(10);
    chart_series_data := chart_series_data||  '        <series name="Hosts Number" type="Line" color="0x1D8BD1" >'||chr(10);
    for c1 in (SELECT VM_REPORT_DATE LABEL,VM_HOSTS_NUM from TABLE where VM_REPORT_DATE between add_months(SYSDATE,-24) and SYSDATE and lower(VM_DCNAME)=lower(:WHICHCHART) )
    loop
    chart_series_data := chart_series_data || '<point name="'||c1.LABEL||'" ';
    chart_series_data := chart_series_data || 'y="'||c1.VM_HOSTS_NUM||'"></point> '||chr(10);
    end loop;
    chart_series_data := chart_series_data|| '      </series>'||chr(10)||'</data>';
    :PROD_DATA := chart_series_data;
    END;
    The : production variable at the end of this I want to change the name of based on the value I'm sending of WHICHCHART from the javascript. I hope this is clearer now.
    AGAIN this is not really a need. It is a want to be able to create dynamic bind variable names going forward.
    Thanks

  • Create on-the-fly menu in JSC 2

    Hi everyone,
    How to create an on-the-fly menu in JSC 2? the on-the-fly menu is something like the menu bar on this Sun Developer Netowork page. When you move a mouse over a link such as APIs, Downloads, and Technologies, there is a menu shown up.
    A sample code would be perfect.
    Thanks in advance,

    The Sun Developer Network page uses javascript to display on-the-fly menus.
    Browsers usually provide ways to view the source code of any HTML page. The instructions to view them will of course vary for different browsers. For mozilla1.4, You can do 'View | Page Source' to see which javascripts are used. You can also select the 'View | Page Info' menuitem, select the 'Privacy' tab and expand 'Scripts' to get the URLs of the scripts used in that page.
    The menucode used in Sun Developer Network page is http://forum.sun.com/jive/js/menucode.js.
    The following are the resources suggested by mozilla.org for javascript:
    http://www.mozilla.org/js/
    http://www.mozilla.org/js/scripting/
    You can of course obtain a lot of free javascripts from the web; for dynamic menus you might want to check out 'http://www.softcomplex.com/products/tigra_menu/'

  • Can I on the fly, change the network from 100hdx to 1000fdx.

    What is the command in Sol 10 to change the network from 100hdx to 1000 fdx ??

    Please check to see the card or port of the network connects drivers have loaded. In most cases the cards  will have a configuration file in "/kernel/drv" under the OEM's name like nxge.conf for the nxge drivers. You can easily check to see if the drivers loaded in the kernal with the following:
    # > modinfo -w |grep net
    52 7bf1a550   1aac   -   1  neti (netinfo module)
    136 7b2b2000  709d8 291   1  nxge (Sun NIU 10Gb Ethernet)
    139 7bfed9e0   15c0   -   1  mac_ether (Ethernet MAC plugin 1.3)
    207 7aeda000  7c2a8  21   1  nfs (network filesystem)
    207 7aeda000  7c2a8   7   1  nfs (network filesystem version 2)
    207 7aeda000  7c2a8  22   1  nfs (network filesystem version 3)
    207 7aeda000  7c2a8  23   1  nfs (network filesystem version 4)
    Next check to see it was loaded without errors;
    # > modinfo -c |grep nxge
    136          1 nxge                             LOADED/INSTALLED
    Hope this helps.

  • Inserting into a table which is created "on the fly" from a trigger

    Hello all,
    I am trying to insert into a table from a trigger in Oracle form. The table name however, is inputted by the user in am item form.
    here is what the insert looks like:
    insert into :table_name
    values (:value1, :value2);
    the problem is that forms does not recognize ::table_name. If I replace :table_name with an actual database table, it works fine. However, I need to insert to a table_name based from oracle form item.
    By the way, the table|_name is built on the fly using a procedure before I try to insert into it.
    Any suggestion on how can I do that? My code in the trigger is:
    declare
    dm_drop_tbl(:table_name,'table) // a call to an external procedure to drop the table
    dm_create_tbl(:table_name,'att1','att2');
    insert into :table_name
    values (:value1, :value2);
    this give me an error:
    encounter "" when the symbol expecting one.....

    Hi ,
    You should use the FORMS_DDL built_in procedure. Read the on-line documentation of forms ...
