Provide alternative for Active X objects in Firefox to get client information. As I have to fetch MAC Address of client machine at login.

As I have to fetch MAC Address of client machine at login, this is possible using ActiveX objects in IE but how it can be achieved using Javascript in Firefox browser. Plz reply.............................

You would need the user to install some kind of add-on in order to do this. Or you could explore whether it's possible in Flash or Java (but I'd be surprised if it is).

Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

What is it you need - Windows installer disc or something else? Your question is unclear. Could you be more specific?

Broken dependency with adobe-flashplugin: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin; prevents installing firefox

After a firefox update, my wife received a warning that there was a broken dependency in the adobe-flashplugin. Was unable to correct with apt-get, so I un-installed firefox. Now when I try to install firefox using apt-get install ... I receive the following error:
"(Reading database ... 292457 files and directories currently installed.)

Thanks for the recommendations, I solved the problem by downloading Firefox 12 from the Mozilla download site, then manually installing it.

My macBook Pro I click a link on a site for a PDF file and all I get is blank? I have done the preferance settings listed here but still blank. Please help

When I open a PDF file from an internet site all I get is "Blank" . I have tried the preference settings listed here but it is still blank. Please help

Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document or Adobe Acrobat Document.

HT1222 iPad 2 camera is really really bad. Is Apple considering upgrading this feature or providing alternatives for those who utilize their cameras on their iPad ?

Please fix the camera for the iPad 2. This tablet is too expensive for the camera to be such a lost. I took it to the apple store and even the employee there agreed that the camera is horrible. This of course did not make me feel Better after all I already paid my money. This is my second IPAD 2 in less than a year. The first IPAD video card was not working. My original IPAD 2 pictures were crappy and so is the new IPAD 2. Totally unacceptable. When I am due for a new tablet I will definitely take this into consideration during the decision process.

Take it back if you're not happy with the camera. If you want to take great photos, buy a decent camera - not an iPad.
Demo,
Any digital camera that is, at least, capable of taking 3 MP pictures, is going to give pretty good results and allow for some enlargement.
While the iPad's shape and size make picture taking a little awkward, the 5 MP rear cameras in newer iPad's are capable of taking great pictures when plenty of light is available. And you can get really nice 8 x 10 and 9x12 enlargements from those pixel size images.
I have taken quite a few images with my iPad as it is always with me wherever I go.
The images don't match the higher quality of my older 10 MP Sony DSLR, but they are pretty good with enough ambient light.
I wish iPads did a flash light next to the lens, though. It would make taking images in subdued light a better experience as I do not have to always edit these types of darkened images all of the time.

Is there an alternative for adobe flash player that I can get on iPhone

I can't use adobe flash player in safari is there anything I can use that will work the same

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Ther is no drop down bar for firefox to remember an address so therfore how do I get firefox to remember so I don't have to type the address in every time?

Firefox use to have a drop down from the bar that would ask if you wanted them to remember password. I have a few accounts to load that I will go to daily but I can not find where to get firefox to remember.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

Did the design team for Windows 8 migrate to Firefox, FF 29 gives every indication they have

I can uninstall firefox then reinstall it then it opens when i close firefox i get crash report then i have to uninstall then reinstall to get it to work.

I have tried everything. i have installed uninstalled it works the first time then when i close all windows and try to reopen i get a crash report. then i cant even open in safe mode. so i go through the uninstall and reinstall process again. this has been a nightmare. I hate chrome but may have no choice but to change browswers. I have had this problem before but dont remmeber what i had to change in the about:config settings to resolve.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I am using outlook 2013 for my emails. My junk emails get automatically deleted. I have had several people say they sent me emails and i can not find them. They are not in any of my inboxs. Can anyone please help

I am using outlook 2013 for my emails. My junk emails are gettting automatically deleted. Problem is i am getting sent emails from schools and others that i
am just not receving. It;s not in any of my inboxe. I am losing alot of important info and don't know why. Please help

If you suspect they are being marked as junk and deleted, turn off the auto-delete. Being that Office is a Microsoft product, you should ask them how to do that: http://www.microsoft.com/mac.

Is it at all possible for a program off the computer to get password information from the password manager?

With all of the discussion about needing an "external" password manager (outside the browser), and recent demonstration about how much information can be gotten about web browsing, IP addresses, physical location (at least down to the city), etc., I am concerned as to whether it IS safer to use a 3rd party password manager instead of the one in Firefox.\
ed

If you use a Master Password that is sufficiently strong then you should be safe.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/create-secure-passwords-keep-your-identity-safe
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength
*https://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx
If you do not use a master password then having access to key3.db and signons.sqlite is sufficient to have access to the encrypted names and passwords by placing the two files in a Firefox profile folder.

My new MacBook Pro keeps asking for my password in any application that I am in. I transferred from old Mac Pro via Time Machine

My new MBP will randomly ask for my password. It doesn't matter what application I am in, it could be in the middle of watching a dvd. The window will pop up.This is my second MBP, my last one kept crashing, and it was finally replaced. Can anyone help, please?
Thanks

When I open an email with images, Outlook Express keeps defaulting to Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to get the image, since I have IE disabled this means that I see no image. I have FF set as my default browser. Please can you help?

I first noticed the problem 3 months ago when a virus set a proxy on Internet Explorer. Removal of the proxy brought the image back, but this showed that Outlook Express uses IE to get images even when FF is set as default browser

I might be able to experiment with this a little.
Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?
