So confused about backing up bookmarks

I lost all my bookmarks when my computer crashed. I thought they would have been on my backup drive, but they were not.
Some people say export to a htlm file, then put in documents, then when you backup, they will be there.
'Then I have heard about backing them up to a json file. i tried that and it wouldn't open up from my desktop.
So i don't know what to do. I cannot afford to lose them again. I am slowly building them back up, but had a lot of medical sites on there.
What is the best way and safest way.
I have windows 8.
Thanks.

If you use the above mentioned method and set the browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true then Firefox will create an automatic HTML backup each time you close Firefox in addition to the JSON backup that is created once each day when you start Firefox.
So this HTML back up always has the latest changes and you do not need to create one yourself. 
This HTML backup is created by default in the Firefox profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can specify its name and location via the browser.bookmarks.file pref.
This browser.bookmarks.file pref doesn't exist by default and thus needs to be created as a new Boolean pref via the right-click context menu of the about:config page (right-click: New > String).
You can enter a normal file path like C:\<backup directory>\bookmarks.html and Firefox will automatically escape (double the backslashes) for you when saving the pref to prefs.js. 
If you are OK with leaving the file in the Firefox profile folder then you can omit this step.

Confusion about backing beans and multiple pages

Hello:
I'm new to JSF and am confused by several high level and/or design issues surrounding backing beans. The
application I am working on (not unlike many apps out there, I suspect), is comprised of several forms which
collect various query parameters and other pages that display the query results via dataTables. Additionally, the
displayed results have hyper-text enabled content sprinkled throughout in order to allow further "drill-down" to
greater details about a given result.
Obviously, the initial forms are backed by a managed bean that has the getters/setters for each of the various
fields. From a modularization perspective, I'd prefer to have the query execution in a separate class entirely,
which I can accomplish via delegation or actionListeners. Where I get confused is in the case that one of the
hyper-text enabled fields needs to invoke yet another query requiring specific values from the original result.
In this case, how should I design the beans to store the pertinent selection information AND still be able to
have the resulting 'details' query in a separate class.
For example, let's assume that I have a form with a simple backing bean to collect initial query params. The user
fills out the form and clicks on submit. The action field of the <h:commandButton> tag inside the <h:form>
delegates to a method which performs the query and returns a navigation string to the results display page. The
results page then uses a <h:dataTable> tag to display the results. However, through the process of displaying the
results, it will create the hyper-text links as follows:
 <h:form>
 <h:commandLink action="viewDetails">
 <h:inputHidden id="P_ID" value="#{results.id}"/>
 <h:outputText value="Click here to see details"/>
 </h:commandLink>
 </h:form>Notice that the value="#{results.id}" is the key field (in some case I may need more than one) that the subsequent
details page will need to perform the query. However, this value is stored in the results attribute of the original
query backing bean. I do NOT want to add yet another level of queries into the same backing bean as I would like
to keep the original and details query beans separated for maintenance and style reasons. How then, can I get this
specific value ("#{results.id}") into another backing bean that could be accessed by the subsequent details page
and query? In general, how does one map a single display element to multiple backing beans (or accomplish the
effect of having one 'source' bean's value end up in another 'destination' bean's attr? If this is not possible,
then isn't the details query/page forced to use the same backing bean in order to get the data it needs? If so,
how can it determine which id was selected in this case?
I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas and suggestions here! Is there a better way to design the above in order to
maintain the separation of logic/control? What is the 'best practice' approach for this sort of stuff?
Thanks much in advance!

This is what I have done in the pass
<h:commandLink action="#{AppAction.getRecord}" >
<h:outputText value="#{bbr.id}"/>
<f:param name = "recordid" value ="#{bbr.id}" />
</h:commandLink>
within the getRecord method
String key = "";
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ServletContext servletContext = ServletContext)facesContext.getExternalContext().getContext();
key = (String)facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("recordid");
then call you dbmethod passing in the key of the record the user wants to edit
and then simply return a string to what page you want the user to go to
I think this is what your looking for

Confused about extending the Sprite class

Howdy --
I'm learning object oriented programming with ActionScript and am confused about the Sprite class and OO in general.
My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects together so that you can manipulate all of the objects simultaneously.
I've been exploring the Open Flash Chart code and notice that the main class extends the Sprite class:
public class Base extends Sprite {
What does this enable you to do?
Also, on a related note, how do I draw, say, a line once I've extended it?
Without extending Sprite I could write:
var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;
And it would work fine. Once I extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How do I modify that code so that it still draws a line? I tried:
var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
My understanding is that since I'm extending the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its graphics method (or property? I have no idea). But, it yells at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Graphics.

Thanks -- that helped get rid of the error, I really appreciate it.
Alas, I am still confused about the extended Sprite class.
Here's my code so far. I want to draw an x-axis:
package charts {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.Graphics;
    public class Chart extends Sprite {
        // Attributes
        public var chartName:String;
        // Constructor
        public function Chart(width:Number, height:Number) {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        // Methods
        public function render() {
            drawAxis();
        public function drawAxis() {
            var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
            newLine.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
            newLine.moveTo(0, 100);
            newLine.lineTo(100, 100);
I instantiate Chart by saying var myChart:Chart = new Chart(); then I say myChart.render(); hoping that it will draw the axis, but nothing happens.
I know I need the addChild method somewhere in here but I can't figure out where or what the parameter is, which goes back to my confusion regarding the extended Sprite class.
I'll get this eventually =)

Set firefox to back up bookmarks on exit

Firefox default behavior is to back up bookmarks the first time you run it on any given day.
I need to change this behavior to back up bookmarks on exit (I have it set to clear cache, active logins etc., it makes more sense to me to back the bookmarks up then too).
I can't find anything in the about:config that will allow me to do this.

Drag the icon into your Wind0ws startup folder or use msconfig.
Right click 'start' -> explore -> navigate to'' start menu\programs'' folder
This MS article is for Win98 but is still fairly relevant to Windows XP ''Take control of your Windows start-up''http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835638

I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!
Cheers,

Confused about Adobe IDs + Creative Cloud + DPS App Builder.

The "Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Getting Started Guide" recommends having the multiple email/multiple Adobe IDs for Accounts. (Master/Admin/Application/Builder/Designer) Great! I love being extremely organized and worked with my IT department to set these up. Now, initially, we are only going to release a couple SE apps (free w/CC), but hope to do a multi-folio down the road. So, for the SE app, I'm working through the "Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing iPad Apps with DPS, Single Edition" and I get to the page about building the app with DPS App Builder. Here it states (on page 49 for those following along) that if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you must use the same Adobe ID that you use to sign in to Creative Cloud. Well, of course I'm a CC subscriber. But with the company that I work at, the CC Adobe ID is associated to my work email address. So this is where I'm confused because back over in that Getting Started Guide it talks about not using an account tied to a person (which is what using my work email does). So what Adobe IDs am I suppose to use and when?

Ok, so we had a whole bunch of internal emails about this The person you were working with on Twitter was kind enough to reach out to me to make sure we gave you the right information. Turns out that SE *is* now available with Creative Cloud for Teams. This was news to me!
Back to your original question: you should sign in with your Adobe ID. If your Adobe ID for CC for Teams is your corporate email address then that's the Adobe ID you should use.

I'm new and confused about "connection" things

I'm new to BlackBerry--I have an 8320 Curve, I'm a small business owner and I'm not connected to a BES. I use the BB Desktop Manager to synchronize with Outlook and to back up my BB and I've done pretty well on most things, but I still have a few things I'm confused about. In this forum, I'll ask my "confusion questions" concerning data options.
I have a "pay as you go" data plan with AT&T, my provider, because there is virtually no cell reception at my home where I also work. (I'm not using my BB for email since I'm in front of my computer most of the time). I have a home network set up and I've incorporated a router that supports wireless. I've connected a netbook to the wireless network and used it to surf the Internet, so, I know my wireless connection works. I've also managed to create a wireless connection on my BB to this network and on the Home screen, it will display my wireless network's name when I'm here at home, so, I know the device is connected to my network.
BUT, I don't think I'm actually using my home wireless network...I tried the other day by browsing the Internet and then AT&T told me I incurred data charges--which I thought I shouldn't have if I wasn't using their network. Either I'm wrong about assuming they won't charge me if I use my network or I have something set up incorrectly on my BB...can anyone provide some guidance?
Next, I don't truly understand what BIS is...I searched through the KB and couldn't find anything that actually defines BIS...could somebody please explain what BIS is?
Finally, can somebody please explain the difference between "mobile network" and "wi-fi"? It seems, if I turn off "mobile network" I have no connection at all, including wi-fi. Is that the way things should be? But, I can turn off wi-fi and still get a connection (if I go outside as far from my house as possible and face south <g>).
Thanks...and now I'm off to the BB Desktop Manager forum to ask a few questions there!
Solved!

BIS is Blackberry Internet Service...a service, hosted by your carrier, that provides a conduit between internet facing email systems (e.g., Yahoo, GMail, etc.) and your BB. Inside of BIS, you create conduits for each of your email providers that you desire to receive OTA email for on your BB. BIS will check your provider on a periodic basis (documented to be every 15 minutes) and only when there is something that needs to come to your BB does it generate any traffic over the carrier network with your BB. BIS is an add-service, only available to those who, from their carrier, contract for The Blackberry Data Plan (as it is usually called) -- a generic data plan is not usually adequate to have access to BIS.

Mobile Network is your carriers network...data and/or voice services provided OTA for your BB. WiFi is wireless networking (802.11a/b/g/n) through your home WAP, hotspots, etc. I don't know if turning off Mobile Networ should or should not affect your ability to continue to use WiFi...I would think they are separate, but I don't have a BB model with WiFi.
I know nothing about the pay-as-you-go programs, but from all you describe, it seems that you may well be using your carrier network at times. You will need to find out (and there are others here who know) how to shut off your carrier network yet leave WiFi running so that you don't incurr the costs of surfing via the carrier network.
Hope that helps a little!

Difference between the backed-up bookmarks (.JSON versus .html)

I am totally lost with this question and have ended up wasting hours when i last tried to restore from backed up bookmarks. What is the difference between the .JSON and .html bookmarks and when to use which? Does the .html contain information that the .JSON does not? If I have both available, what is the BEST and easiest way to restore backed bookmarks? The last time I ended up hours trying to clean up the mess when I restored both bookmarks and ended up with duplicates.

Restoring a JSON backup will replace all your current bookmarks (you get a warning about that), so if you already have bookmarks that you wish to keep then export them to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup. 
You can import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup to get your current bookmarks back (you need to remove duplicates). 
You can't import a JSON backup to add (merge) bookmarks. 
Importing bookmarks from an HTML file adds the imported bookmarks to the already existing bookmarks, so you may need to remove duplicates. 
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup. 
A JSON backup doesn't preserve the website favicons, so you need to visit a website to get back that favicon.

Confusion about TreeMap

Hi,
I'm currently studying for SCJP exam and am confused about the following code.
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 TreeMap myMap = new TreeMap();
 myMap.put("ab", 10);
 myMap.put("cd", 5);
 myMap.put("ca", 30);
 myMap.put("az",20);
 NavigableMap myMap2 = myMap.headMap("cd", true);
 myMap.put("bl",100);
 myMap.put("hi",100);
 myMap2.put("bi", 100);
 System.out.println(myMap.size() + " " + myMap2.size());
 }When I run it, it outputs 7 6.
What I'm confused about is how when after the line NavigableMap myMap2 = myMap.headMap("cd", true);and values are being entered into the myMap object, that it is still possible for them to be entered in the NavigableMap object? Are the 2 entities not seen seperately? Is it to do with the "inclusive" field of the headMap method.
The solution states that the myMap contains the objects "ab","cd","ca","az","b1","h1","bi"
and myMap2 "ab","cd","ca","az","b1","bi".
But how when adding key-value pairs do both objects (myMap,myMap2) get considered for putting into?
Thanks.

From the API:
headMap
public NavigableMap<K,V> headMap(K toKey,
boolean inclusive)
Description copied from interface: NavigableMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are less than (or equal to, if inclusive is true) toKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map >supports all optional map operations that this map supports. So myMap2 contains all the elements from myMap that are <= "cd" (which are all except "hi"), and changes in either map are reflected on both, as stated.

Confused about conversation grouping Lion vs. Snow Leopard

Hello All,
I just upgraded. Literally just finished. I was checking out mail, and I am confused about how Mail 5 groups messages for conversations. In SL I had Mail group related messages as well, and it's a feature I really enjoy. Conversations just makes it that much better. But, I notice that Lion groups message differently than both SL and iOS. Now, it is no longer grouping emails that are all from various people but are part of the same thread. It is grouping multiple messages from the same sender, even if they have nothing to do with each other, or are only loosely connected.
It used to be (and still is on my iPhone) for example, that all the emails eminating from a single thread topic on one of my class forums would all group together. They have the same subject line and formatting. It was heaven. Will there be no way of doing this?
Also, now all the emails from the teacher of that class, regardless of the relevancy or subject line, group together in one conversation. It's annoying in a way, but I think I can get used to that. Does anyone know if these will be able to be changed in the future?
Thanks

As a Mac power user - LION IS A DISAPPOINTMENT
Apple needs to seriously consider briniging back
• SPACES: the capability to move up as well as down to access applications
     AND have applications stay in a desgnated space makes it much easier
     to run multiple applicatioins - especially in a multi-monitor environment
• SAVE AS: Saving various versions of a file is difficult with Lion.
    If I want a 3 versions of a document - with different pictures, it takes too many "clicks" to accomplish
     this task. LET ME CHOOSE HOW I STORE FILES
• COPY COMMAND: Snow Leaopard allowed me to copy files to a storage device AND if the file
     was already written to the device - the option to NOT REPLACE the file existed. This made it
     easy to backup work on a portable drive.
     LION ONLY has two options - copy all or make an addition copy of the file, causing storage bloat
APPLE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER PUTTING THESE FEATURES BACK INTO THEIR OS FOR THE BUSINESS AND POWER USER

I'm horribly confused about student licensing and commercial use

As the title says I'm horribly confused about student licensing and using it for commercial use.
I currently have a Student Licensing version of Adobe Creative Suite 4 that I purchased through my school's journeyEd portal.
Seeing how CS5 is now out I was browsing looking at prices (why not upgrade while I'm still a student, right?) and while browsing I bumped into one source that says that Student Licensing can not be used for commercial purposes, and this is when the confusion started. I remember reading before that we are able to use student licensing for commercial purposes, okay time to google search. I found one Adobe FAQ that says I can. .
http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
" Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use. "
and I found this old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/314304
Where an poster listed as an employee of Adobe states
"There is no upgrade from the CS3 Educational Edition to the comparable CS3 editions sold in non-academic environments. If you have an educational version of for CS3 obtained legitimately (i.e., you qualified for the educational version when you obtained it), you may continue to use that software for the indefinite future, even for commercial use! You cannot sell or otherwise transfer that license, though! When the next version of the Creative Suite is released, you will have two choices: (1) If you still qualify for the educational version, you can buy a copy of that next version (there is no special upgrade pricing from one educational version to another; the price is already very low) or (2) you can upgrade from the educational version of CS3 to the full version of the next version of the Creative Suite as an upgrade from CS3 at the prices published at that time. "
Okay cool, hmm what this? Adobe is asking me if I want to IM with live costumer service agent, sure why not? Then the conversation started and I asked her my question about using my CS4 license for commercial use, she asks for my product code and email to verify my product, then informs me I can purchase the upgrade version of CS5 and use that for commercial, okay great, but not really answering my question. I reword it and give her a link to that FAQ page it goes like this. ..
"[CS Rep] : [My name], I would like to inform you that Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are not allowed for
commercial use.
[CS Rep] : However, you can upgrade your current software to a normal upgrade version, and you can continue
using it for commercial purpose.
[Me] : Then is the FAQ page mistaken? Because it is very misleading if it is. But thank you for the information.
[CS Rep] : You are welcome.
[CS Rep] : I apologize for the misleading information in the FAQ."
. .And after that, I went back to being confused.
SO my questions are. . . Can I or can't I use my Adobe Creative Suite 4 student licensing for commercial purposes? and If I purchase a Student Licensing of CS5 can I use that for commercial purposes as well?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be perfectly clear on what I can and can not do with my purchase.

The rules differ in various parts of the world. In North America you can use it for commercial work.
There are no student/academic upgrades. The pricing is so low that in many cases you're better off buying another full student license but you are eligible for upgrade pricing for commercial versions once you're out of school.
You may not transfer the student license in any way.

I'm confused about sound on my iPad 2. I know it has speakers and it makes sounds for notifications, etc. But when I play the Time Warner TV app, there is no sound. Do I need to buy speakers or headphones?

I'm confused about sound on my iPad 2. I know it has speakers and it makes sounds for notifications, etc. But when I play the Time Warner TV app, there is no sound. Do I need to buy speakers or headphones?

Here is my situation, iPad 1 Time Warner app works fine with or without headphones, ipad2 I can unplug headphones and it works but when headphones are plugged in I can barely hear it even cranked up, my husbands ipad2 works fine with both so what that tells me is that there is something physically possibly programmed differently. It really makes no sense. I might just take my ipad2 back and swap it out. It is weird all the other sound through the iPad comes through on headphones and speakers fine. You are not alone with your time Warner app sound issues.

I'm confused about 'downloading' options via iTunes

When updating via iTunes, you get two options: (1) Download & Install NOW or (2) Download only [to install later]. I chose the 2nd option, as I wasn't quite ready to update my iPod touch to iOS 5. The download went surprisingly quick... took only 5 minutes. I thought it was strange, considering that people were Tweeting left and right that it was going to take 5-7 hours for their downloads to complete. When I finally went to update my iPod several hours later, instead of the update being there and ready to install... iTunes connected to the Apple Servers and started downloading the entire iOS 5 from the BEGINNING! Now, I'm also getting the estimated 7 hours to complete mantra. What gives? What the h*** is the purpose of giving me an option to download and install at a later time, if that's now what actually takes place? What am I confused about? Can anyone provide some insight? I'm highly upset right now.

Confused about the battery...

Hello everyone,
I'm from Pakistan and I just switched to Mac almost 2-3 weeks ago. Since, they have proper apple authorized dealers here so I finally decided to get one for myself. I had some confusion about the battery and my system and now I'm getting very much concerned and worried as a matter of fact.
I installed coconut battery (as few people suggested me) to check my battery status. First of all, it shows the age of my Mac as 5 months, which is pretty surprising since I got a brand new one and even the condition is of a brand new one so I have no clue why did it say that.
Secondly, I would like to tell the condition of my battery:
Current Battery Charge: 3591 mAh (I'm using on battery power right now)
Maximum Battery charge: 4068 mAh
88%
Current Battery Capacity: 4068 mAh
Original Battery Capacity: 4100 mAh
99%
Additional info:
Battery-Loadcycles : 12
Age of your Mac: 5 months
Charger connected: No
Battery is charging: No
I am just concerned that my battery current capacity decreased to 99% after just 12 load cycles. Why is that? Some people tell that they have a 100% even after using it for a long time and other than that does anyone have any idea why is the age being shown as 5 months when I have only used it for 2 weeks.
I'm really confused.
Another suggestion that I want is that in Pakistan, we are having major electricity load shedding so I can't keep it on AC power most of the time so if my computer is shut-down and being charged. If the electricity goes and when it comes back and it starts charging to the point from where it left, will that waste the load-cycle or will it continue to charge it from there without wasting cycle? Does that affect the battery life? (Assuming that the computer is shut-down while being charged)
Last thing, should I use it mostly on AC power or is it better to charge it and then drain the battery and then charge it and then use. Till how much percent should I keep using on the battery power and then connect the Magsafe connector?
Please help people
I'd highly appreciate if you could answer my questions.
Thank you.

I was told that it is best to keep it plugged in and connected to the charger when you can, but if you are not able to do that then just use battery power. I just know you don't want too many cycles, which means you don't want to drain the battery completely then fully recharge it. You should calibrate the battery, which is pretty much just draining battery then recharging it, every couple of months if you keep it plugged into the charger and don't use just the battery often.
