Firefox V30.0
I saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit > Preferences > Privacy "I can't find references under the edit menu" so cannot attempt the fix offered?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

    I checked the status of the server and hard drive by booting off of the 10.4 installation disk, select utilities and disk utility.
    I know very little about terminal, however I'm pretty good at dos so I can figure some things out if given some commands.
    Anyway, I ran some commands and here are the results:
    megaraid -showstatus
    MEGARAID CLI version 1.0.12
    No cmd argument
    Um, so I think I remebered the command incorrectly and I did -showdevices instead. Sorry.

    This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451 relates to the 3194 error. Generally this error has to do with trying to install an iOS that is not the most current. Maybe you tried to jailbreak the phone, or downgrade iOS? Any of this apply to you?

  • Our firefox crashes as it starts up. Can't find any solutions that work on your website. Have to have firefox for business purposes. Please help!

    Hello,
    We have used Firefox for years. We have Mac 10.6.8 and Firefox 11.0. It has been working fine until today. I have no idea what could have messed it up. Now every time we try to start it up an error box appears announcing that the application has crashed. My computer has already sent you quite a few error reports. I have to have Firefox for business purposes. Would appreciate help as soon as possible.
    Thank you,
    Nikol Jones

    Please do the following:
    Visit www.getfirefox.com in safari, download and install Firefox 17.0.1. Try to open Firefox. If that doesn't work, follow these instructions:
    #Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
    #Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • I saw Corey Barker do a demo where he extracted an image from the background, then cleaned up the edge with a process that allowed him to de-fringe it.  I can't remember how he did it. And I can't find it.  Help!

    I saw Corey Barker do a demo a few weeks ago where he extracted an image from the background, then used a technique I was not familiar with to clean it up. You selected the area, then did something that involved going either to edit or select, then there was a dialog box that allowed you to dial it in, depending on the color background you were removing.  I can't find this anywhere. Can't remember.  It's driving me crazy!  If someone can help me find this, I would be very glad and grateful. Thanks!  Laura

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • I charged my phone and now I can't get it to turn on again. What do I do? I can't find a solution here. All I get are error messages.

    I charged my phone and now I can't get it to turn on again. What do I do? I can't find a solution here. All I get are error messages.

    Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes and putting it back in.  Try pressing and holding the power button for a while 15-30 seconds to see if it will respond.  Did anything happen to it, drop, submersion, etc. Was it functioning before you charged, When did it last work. Are you sure it charged up and the charger is working.

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • A very simple scenario, but I can't find a solution

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone that runs IOS 4.1. It is synced with iTunes library at home which has all my music, video, podcasts, apps, etc. Occasionally when I'm at work I come across an audio clip or video clip that I would like to save on an iPhone to watch during the commute back. I am reasonably tech savvy, but I can't find a solution to accomplish this task. Since iPhone is synced with the library at home, it cannot be synced with the iTunes library at work without it being wiped and reinitialized. I have found partial solution for video files using the (now unavailable) VLC app, which allows transfer of FLV or MP4 files, although since hardware acceleration is not available to VLC app, watching any video above 480p is not possible. VLC app does not accept MP3 files, so I'm out of luck with these.
    In the past I used non-IOS iPods and had no problems syncing it with library at home and being able to manually add music/videos from iTunes library at work.
    I'm surprised that the device/ecosystem that is so user friendly suddenly cannot be used for such a simple task. All of the content I am talking about is DRM free and in open formats like MP3.
    This limitation of only one iTunes library being allowed to add/manage content on an IOS device seems very not user friendly to me. I understand the need to protect content, but again - I am only talking about non-purchased publicly available content like MP3 files of programs published by radio stations.
    I have a VPN connection between home and work, but iTunes does not allow syncing via anything but USB. I have even tried to find some sort of "Virtual USB" port that would allow me to connect iPhone at work and have computer at home see it as USB connected device, but could not find any solution for this on OS X.
    Am I missing something trivial or is it impossible to add an MP3 file to an iPhone from anywhere but one iTunes library?
    Thank you.

    I have finally been able to solve this problem, albeit through an unorthodox method.
    I have placed my iTunes library folder on a NAS I have at home and configured both home Mac Pro and Macbook Pro at work to use the same library. Since I have VPN, the file path is the same for both machines, so they both now can access the same library and sync to the phone from it.
    Now when at work I come across something I want to drop to the iPhone for listening on my way back home, I add the file to the library (it travels over the VPN to my home NAS) and then sync (it travels back over the same VPN to my iPhone)
    Since there's about 20mbit bandwidth, the speed and response is acceptable.
    The problem is solved.
    I wonder, why Apple had to put this strange limitation of only one library being able to sync to the iPhone? Is the rationale behind this decision documented anywhere?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • After using Firefox 4.0.1 for 2 weeks, still can't find solutions to these questions...

    After using Firefox 4.0.1 on Win7 x64 for almost two weeks, I still have the
    following questions/problems, for which I just can't find the solutions. Please help.
    (1)
    Is there a way to change the shape of the tabs to resemble real tabs, sort of like those tabs shown in the picture attached with the first reply I posted below.
    (2)
    I notice that when there are more than 6 tabs, only the current tab has a close button.
    Can there be a close button on every tab, no matter how many tabs are on the tab strip?
    (3)
    When you drag a file ( .html, .jpg, etc) from Windows Desktop or Windows Explorer and then drop it into Firefox, the file will be opened in the current tab.
    Can it be opened in a new tab?
    (4)
    Is there a convenient way to select multiple images on the same web page and open them all, each one in a new tab, with just one simple action, e.g., a toolbar button click, a keyboard shortcut, a mouse gesture, etc. ?
    (5)
    [ I asked this question a few days ago, but still got no answer. ]
    After the currently active tab is closed, I want the previously active tab to be displayed automatically, no matter what its position is on the tab strip, and no matter if it has any kind of relation with the closed tab. Just previously active.
    Can that be achieved?
    (6)
    Although "Use small icons" in "Customize Toolbar" is not selected, I still feel the icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar are too small. Can the size of those Boookmarks Toolbar icons be increased (scaled up)?
    Just the Bookmarks Toolbar icons. The other toolbars don't matter.
