Settings fur buttons get lost from time to time

I have customized the buttons in Firefox (via right-click on the toolbar, customize, dragging and dropping).
About every two to four months Firefox loses these settings and resets the buttons to the default.
Needless to say this is extraordinarily annoying.
I think this behavior first started with Firefox 3 or 4.
There is one scenario where I can somewhat reproduce the issue: A particular website opens new windows via JavaScript. On that window and all following windows the buttons are reset not every time, but pretty often.
However, it also happened on other occasions, e.g. today.
Is there a way I can store my button settings externally to Firefox and reload them when this happens? So I don't have to drag them all in place again manually.

  • 5320 - imap emails / imap connection lost from tim...

    I'm experiencing strange problems with IMAP4 (all ssl, 2gmails, one on a my own mailserver)...
    from time to time the imap connection is lost (dunno why... gprs connection is still up (accessing the emails via wap))...
    (phone print a message (that disappear automatically) and makes a little "beep")
    the only way to get the email online again is to manually re-"connect" it from the menu...
    (this is happening randomly... as not all the 3 email boxes goes "disconnected" at the same time...)
    Is there a way to force the phone to reconnect in case it got disconnected by ANY reason different from user decision?
    (sadly I've still a 3.08 firmware as nokia has not yet released anything new on NSU for my location (Italy)...)
    I've no idea if something got fixed with the later firmwares
    Is there an official changelog of all the fixes?
    thank you,
    best regards

  • Reinstall system to solve beachball issue, then get files from time machine backup.. will the bring beachball back

    Hi,
    My iMac has a beachball issue to the extent that now it not even starts up anymore, I don't even get to the desktop screen. I plan to reinstall the system from with the CD I got when I purchased the iMac 2 years ago, then update the operating system to the latest version, and then get my files and programs back from my latest time machine backup, which was completed c. 2 weeks ago.
    1) Will this process generally work? I am running Mavericks 10.9, so the CD I want to install from will be an older version, but I then plan to upgrade to 10.9 before accessing the time machine files.
    2) Post upgrading the op system to the latest version, when I then get the programs and files back from time machine, will that bring also back the beach ball issue, or given that everything will be saved and installed 'cleanly' it will be alright?
    I am not a mac pro, so still learning, please forgive if I am not posting required info. Let me know what you need.
    Thanks

    1. Yes.
    2. Depending on what is causing the beachball, restoring may or may not bring the problem back.

  • Mouse Clicked gets lost some times.

    Hello All,
    The scenario is that i have a tree and the doubleclick on the tree node openes a view with some information. Also the node has some childrens. Sometimes when i double click the node, the tree node gets expanded but my view does not get opened. This was due to mouseclicked does not arrive with click count as 2.
    In my code double click handling is done in the mouseclicked event. The code looks like
    public void mouseclicked(MouseEvent ev) {
    if(ev.getClickCount() == 2) {
    .......//Opens a view
    In some cases when i double click, mouse clicked is triggered only once with click count as one. But the mousepressed and mousereleased is triggered twice with clickcount 1 and 2 resp. I am not sure is this a valid behaviour. Please find below the traces of events.

    I just checked mouseClicked.. and its working fine for me.
    tree.addMouseListener(new MouseListener(){
                   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        if(e.getClickCount() == 2)
                             System.out.println("mouseClicked");
                   public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                   public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                   public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                   public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    });If we double click on a node which is having child nodes, then it will collapse/expand when double click on it.
    In all cases I am getting the display "mouseClicked" when doing double click.

  • Need advice (help!) Can I get files from Time Machine to a PC

    My Mac book's HD I think is dead. I have an external HD with Time Machine back ups on it. I really NEED to get my address book contacts off and onto my back up PC, for right now. Is there even a way to do that?? and while Im at it what about iTunes library?
    Please tell me there is a way.

    Chad,
    I must disagree with Nerowolf on this one. You should be able to get the items you need off the drive, even connected to a PC.
    Contrary to what Nerowolf believes, Time Machine stores backups as standard, complete files; it does not make "incremental" backups in the traditional sense. Each and every backup includes every file from the source, and each one is a complete file.
    The trick with Time Machine is that the data associated with those many, many files is only copied to the drive once, and each "iteration" of the same file links to that single copy of the data. The process whereby this occurs is called "multiple hard links," and the resultant files are called "multi-linked files."
    You need not be concerned with all this. The important point is that the files are seen as normal files to you and to the OS.
    The real problem, however, is that those files are stored on a volume formatted as HFS+, and Windows cannot normally access this file system. If you attempt to connect your Time Machine drive to a PC, it will want to format it. If you really need to access the drive, you'll need something like MacDrive, a PC utility that allows Windows to mount and access HFS+ volumes. Look for it on Versiontracker.com (in order to use it, you'll need to pay for it).
    CAVEAT: I do not know with certainty that MacDrive includes compatibility with Multi-linked files. Multi-linking is part and parcel of the HFS+ file system format, so there may be no problem, but you might want to double-check to make sure Multi-linked files are fully supported in MacDrive.

  • What happens to music that get lost from iPod

    I try to sync my brothers music to my Mac pro and lost his music. Can I get it back?

  • Getting videos from Time Capsule to my Apple TV

    I just got a time capsule and would like to stream my videos to my Apple TV.  I know I need a device in the middle Mac, iPad, etc.  But do I need to add the videos to iTunes first or can I play them via a file manager type app?  They are all in the mp4 format already so I've got that going for me at least.   Also not sure if it helps but the vides were originally on a Windows based computer but I'm moving away from that except for a couple of exceptions that are work related.

    As long as you can stream it to the ATV then you can use it.. so many applications can play video files and there is no need to add them to itunes.. but if you intend to use itunes as a main media application then it does make sense to add them to its library. The problem is the TC is not a great place really for the library to be stored.
    ATV2 are very popular because you can still Jailbreak them to add a proper media player and then you don't need a device in the middle.
    Or think outside the box.. a WD live TV can play media directly from the TC. Much easier.. no box in the middle.. you can sit at your TV and select. That is because ATV is a streamer not a true media player (unless you hack it of course and add XMBC to it). WDlive is a media player.

  • Getting Photos from Time Machine Backup disc to new mac

    Hi! I have everything saved from my macbook on an external hard drive via time machine. When I go into time machine and the back up from my mac book, I click on users and then photos and then iphoto library and have no problem seeing my library...
    BUT
    Now I am trying to download all of the photos from the backup onto my husband's macbook. When I go to import on iphoto and then go to the backup disc... I cannot select iphoto library. It is a faded color and won't let me select it. It makes me worried that I can not access my pictures from another computer and cannot download them onto my husband's computer.
    What is the problem and how do I resolve this?
    Thanks!

    I think it's because you're trying to restore to a computer with a different Owner. I would post that on the Time Machine forum.

  • I get prompts from time to time that large amounts of Mb are being used what is causing this?

    I am getting prompts that my Mb usage is very high and I should close Firefox and open it again. Can you tell me what is causing this and how to prevent this in the future? Is it possible I need to "delete" Firefox and download it again? Thank you

    There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
    *Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
    * Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
    If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
    * see [[plugin crash reports]]
    * [[what is plugin-container]]
    * [[firefox crashes]]
    There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
    Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

  • Administrator account keeps getting disabled in SAP BI 4 from time to time.

    Hi,
    I am working for Ericsson. Recently during a upgrade for a customer, we migrated from SAP BO XI 3 to BI 4 Platform. Everything is running fine, but the Administrator account keeps getting disabled from time to time. They need to login from any other account with Administrator rights to enable the Administrator account to resume operations. What can be done for this problem?

    Hi,
    Try to check if the administrators group have already enough rights.
    Also verify if one of the admin users is modifying the rights for the administrator.

  • Why after new changes in internal orders settings order number ranges lost?

    Dear Gurus,
    We have noticed that order number ranges are being lost from time to time.
    Than we have analysed that sometimes it happens after new transfers with new orders settings.
    Why the system behaves like that?
    And how can we avoid this problem?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    The process is as below to assign/change number ranges to order types
    Create Order type at KOT2 (KOT2_OPA) and enter Order Category ...say 01
    Enter Order type name and description and SAVE
    Select Number range Interval assingment Icon
    At last row of the number range screen you can see your newly created Order Type
    (Put the cursor on your order type and press F2) and Select the check box of group under which you need to assign and press F5
    Now the newly created order type has been assigned and new number range has been assigned
    So you can change existing order type also as mentioned above (even after posting made to that order types)
    This could be the reason for changing number ranges to order types
    Please take care while assigning number ranges to a new order types.  Do not touch number ranges of existing order types
