Text on a web page is highlighted with a link to another web page, is this an add-on or some other Firefox issue?
Today certain words on a web page are being highlighted in yellow with a double underscore and hovering over them causes a link to an external site to appear. I haven't knowingly installed any add-ons so is this being caused by something within Firefox or is it external?
Thanks for your help
Tim
It would help to know the website, the words underlined and details of the link.
It sounds like a spell or grammar check or a translation facility.

Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11. I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it. I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2. Then when you click on it the next error message says: PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI. Any ideas?
JimP08758It worked just fine for me.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
(please do not comment in bug reports) -
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.

Does 'Export Relative to Page Size' NOT work in Kindle books & some other ereaders?
Hi I've been looking at this issue that has made the wheels in my head work overtime! I've made a book with pictures for the Kindle store and all the images look too small.
I've used Indesign 5.5 on a Win 7 PC. My file has multiple graphic images and I am exporting it as an epub. When exporting from Indesign you have 2 main options when exporting graphics. You can display them Relative to page size, or have them a Fixed pixel size. In age of multiple size device screens Relative to page size is the logical option because it should be able to make images on a page fill roughly the same percentage of the screen size whatever device you read it on. However I am finding that it doesn't function with all programmes.
I created an epub. Exported it with the Relative to page size option. This works great when viewed on PC with 3rd party software such as Sigil, or in iBooks for iPhone/iPad or Adobe Digital Editions ereader software.
However the same epub the images DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Calibre ereader software (images display far too small).
Also, I have converted that same epub (using Calibre) to a mobi. The images in the .mobi DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Kindle for PC, Kindle for iPad, Kindle Fire, Kindle Keyboard or Calibre.
Now. I recognise that my test is in no way universal but something is happening that is making the same file display relative to page size with some software/devices and not relative with other software devices. I've been wondering Is this a bug in the Indesign software or is it not possible on Kindle. Has anybody experienced this. And my main objective is to find out if there is a way, using Indesign or changing the css code, to make images display relative to page size on the Kindle?!
Any help, thoughts, ideas, knowledge would be appreciated!InDesign doesn't have an export to Kindle function. It is not designed to export in the Kindle MOBI format.
There are many things which are lost when converting from EPUB to MOBI files. I'd recommend doing some reading on Elizabeth Castro's blog where she talks about some of these limitations. Also read her book "EPUB Straight to the Point for her section on converting to Kindle.
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
Another good place to ask is in the Mobile Read forums where many long-term eBook experts reside: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/ -
When I click on an entry it doesn't take me to that entry -- it takes me to another website. The only way I can seem to get directly to the entry is to cut and paste the URL directly. I never used to have to do this. What is happening?
This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
* SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
* Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?
With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
ThanksSeems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
Thanks. -

Hierarchy with some other fields behind
Hello I have a problem with some a little SQL
I have this SQL and that works fine:
SELECT Lpad(Unit_id, Length(unit_id) + LEVEL *4,'-') || ' ' || unit || ' ' || unit_level_id || ' ' || unit_rel_to_parent_val_from as Hierarchie
from ua_unit where unit_type_id = 1 and unit_rel_to_parent_val_from <= sysdate
start with unit_parent_id = 'CH'
connect by prior unit_id = unit_parent_id;
Now I have somthing like this
Hierarchie
----A ASR 2
--------A10 ASR FS 3 01.07.2002
------------100 ASR FS Bnk East 4 01.07.2002
------------105 ASR FS Bnk Central 4 01.07.2002
Thats create a hierarchy but I need some other fields beyond this hierarchy...how can I do that?

Oh I see the columns are there but miles away from the hierarchy column ( working with SQL Developer 1.2.1) how they can be near to the hierarchy column?
Edited by: user10411886 on Mar 16, 2009 2:54 AM
Now I have what I want. Thanks for all the help and Inputs from you guys!Thank for the fast reply..
this with the other columns is the right way first, fist I have now this hierarchy and now after this hierarchy
there should be some other columns listed, but when i do this
SELECT Lpad(Unit_id, Length(unit_id) + LEVEL *4,'-') || ' ' || unit || ' ' || unit_level_id as Hierarchie, unit, unit_id
from ua_unit where unit_type_id = 1 and unit_rel_to_parent_val_from <= sysdate
start with unit_parent_id = 'CH'
connect by prior unit_id = unit_parent_id;
That will not work...
I hope you now what I mean :8}

Can someone maybe point a page containing info on the HTML toolkit for me?It's called the API. Since you are using the HTMLEditorKit and an ElementIterator and an AttributeSet, I would start there.
There is no such API that says "get me all the links", so you have to do a little work on your own.
Maybe you could use a ParserCallback and every time you get a new tag you check for the "href" attribute. -
I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
Harry
Ron
Hermione
Hagrid
Albus
NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
Harry Harry
Ron Ron
Hermione Hermione
Hagrid Hagrid
Albus Albus
Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
<a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
<img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
<span>Harry</span></a>
<br/>
(Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.Try:
*Extended Copy Menu (fix version): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/extended-copy-menu-fix-vers/
