Update to FF 23 changed resolution from 1600x900 to 1280x720, increased window size, and made text big and images and videos blurry

After upgrading to ff 23 from ff21 on my Windows 8 ultrabook laptop, the browser window blew up to fill the entire screen. Web pages stopped displaying properly - text is big, but images are blurry, including those on the ff toolbar, and videos are pixelated and unviewable.
I tried the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx fix - it didn't work. The text became unreadably small instead.
I noticed that javascript window resolution in Firefox 23 is showing a resolution of 1280x720 instead of the 1600x900 that it should be. How do I get FF 23 to display in 1600x900 resolution?

Yes, the screen.width and screen.height are adjusted for the device pixel ratio based on your zoom level. (Demo page: [http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/resolution.html])
It sounds as though your Firefox 23 is picking up a Windows setting of 125% zoom. If you change layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0, Firefox should display at your display's native resolution instead of your Windows resolution (100% instead of 125%). This will indeed make the text in the toolbar area a lot smaller, but the content area should look the same as Firefox 21. Does it look a lot different? How much zoom (e.g., Ctrl+) is needed to make it look like you remember?
Meanwhile, you can use this extension to adjust the toolbar area if you stick with the 1.0 setting: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer]. Clicking its icon and changing the font size from "Normal" to 14 or 15 usually works pretty well. Once you re done with your adjustments, you can use the Customize feature to take its icon off the toolbar. ([[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]])

Save for Web & Devices is changing resolution from 72ppi to 300ppi

Hi,
I'm writing an action to do the following.
Image size - change resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi
Automate - Fit Image - 600px x 600px
Save for web and devices - JPEG medium.
If I save at any stage (up to save for web & devices) the image is 72ppi
However when I open it again after saving for web & devices and check image size it's 300ppi HOW?
Am I missing something really stupid?
Peter

Hi Charles,
Sometimes we have to go through meaningless steps...
The spec for the job is to "automate" a process whereby we end up with a web suitable 600px JPEG of about 50k with © watermark.
Of course they are expecting a 72ppi image, so its easier if thats what they get!!!
The other requirement involves the fact that the web end of the business want to change the filename, so in order to keep a link, I write the filename to IPTC Title Field (using Peter Krogh's script)
However I've now found that if I "save for web & devices" with copyright & contact info, I get IPTC title and 72ppi,
So happy days....
Many thanks, but now just more curious to know exactly whats happening!

Software to restore apps window size and position after change in screen resolution

I use a 27' iMac'10 with SL 10.6.8, running it at 2560x1440 screen resolution.
Whenever I have to attend meetings via GoToMeeting or Webex and need to present, the resolution is too high, since most participants are on 15' laptops or even iPad's these days. Therefore, I reset the screen resolution to 1600x900 for the time of the presentation.
After the meeting is over, I reset the resolution back to 2560x1440.
Problem: After the reset, all my apps are scaled and out of place, so I need to manually reset them to their original sizes and positions. I use Divvy to make this a bit less painful, but still it's a manual chore.
Is there any software out there that let's me restore my windows to the exact settings they were the last time before I changed screen resolution?

I agree, the ability to remember window sizes and positions when switching between laptop and using the Thunderbolt display would be very useful. It's like your Mac remembering the volume level depending on whether you have headphones plugged in or not.

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name

I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.

The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
Download the file from here.

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

How can I change resolution from 72 ppi to 144 ppi?

Adobe's CS allows me to change the resolution of an image from 72 ppi to 144 ppi (Image | Image Size). Does iPhoto have a similar capability? Terence Delvin has previously posted how to resize an image to a specified dimension (iPhoto 8 | Installing | Resize), but I also need to change the resolution. iPhoto is so wonderful it's a shame to have to export a file and open it in CS if this is all I wish to do. Thanks, in advance.

Seriously, it is a photo competition where digital images are displayed through a computer/digital projector setup. The organization's requirements (not mine) are 1024 pixels on the longest side and maximum 144 ppi. Adobe resizes like this in both the CS and also Elements and when the file is then saved it keeps the 144 ppi and its size decreases (for example, from 3.22MB to only 751KB). I just would like to make my life simpler and use iPhoto to accomplish the resize.
OK I see. I am still confused as to their requirement of 144 ppi as the 1024 on the longest size will resize down for you.
I don't think iPhoto can change the ppi but you can resize down. Pick the photo, go to File -> Export... and then under size pick custom. On the pull down if you pick "dimension" then type in 1024 in the box under that, it will automatically output a new version of your photo with 1024 as the max size and you get a nice smaller file.
However, the PPI setting remains the same since this is a print setting and when displayed on a monitor or digital projector, it will display at exactly 1024 by whatever the other side is, assuming the program displaying it displays at 100%.
Let me poke around a bit more and see if I can come up with something.
Perhaps a simple exif editor (rather than having to open it in Elements or CS) that you can quickly change the PPI setting of the exported image. I'll have to look and see what is available.

How do I stop Firefox from claiming to have sessionrestore errors or opening the wrong session items and/or remember the wrong window size and/or position.

Since automatically updating to version 25 Firefox is randomly opening recent tabs and windows from the browsing history, and/or randomly positioning the browser window from history.
Currently using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Problems started immediately after automatic updates to 25.0.0. Problems are most noticeable on the Vista box because it has so much screen geography (the Windows 7 box is a laptop).
Problems include:
Firefox may open the correct tabs into a properly sized and positioned window, without problem. (Not a problem, included for completeness since it does, occasionally, work without error).
Firefox open a single empty tab (about:blank, my Home page). (Listed as a problem because Firefox simply forgot the tab which was open.)
Firefox may claim it cannot open the correct tabs and pop up about:sessionrestore. Proceeding will open all tabs (usually only one or two for me). This gives the impression Firefox did not actually have a problem. But, then, often, the tab Firefox is having problems restoring is about:blank so I should hope there was no problem!
Firefox may open randomly selected recent browsing items, without other problems. This gives the impression that Firefox does not properly record recent history for about:sessionrestore. Checking History appears correct; Firefox simply reached back hours, or days, or even weeks, and restored a random session from long ago.
Any of the above may occur, but the window position and/or size will be randomly selected from another recent history item. This is most noticeable when the position is on the wrong monitor and can be annoying since Firefox simply "disappears" if (as it often is for me) that other monitor is disconnected or powered off.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.<br />
Also make sure that your anti-virus software doesn't mess with files in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*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).

Can I increase menu sizes and fonts without lowering my resolution?

This is my first desktop Mac ever and its a huge shock to have the menus and fonts so small. I thought my having a large 27" display that its going to be easy to see everything.
At the same time I do not want to lower my resolution as i feel it defeats the purpose and I am also a photographer that needs to have the best resolution. I am okay with hitting comm+ to make applications bigger but the menu bars and applications I use tend to be much smaller than Im used to. Even a word doc on Pages opens up extremely small to where nobody can read it. I am 32 with perfect vision and its making hard to read.
Im just wondering and hoping that there is something I can adjust and since Im new to Mac dont realize yet. If not, than thats pretty disappointing and will start to wonder if i should have bought something else
I am open to downloading 3rd party stuff if it makes it do what I want it to.
Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestions Paul_31 and Strawb268 which, I agree does make a difference to the menu text size but at reduction of screen definition and clarity which is, after all, one of the main reasons I bought the iMac in the first place.
I've read elsewhere since making the initial post that the Apple engineers don't like a larger font. Maybe when they get a bit older they will wish they had made that option available!
I really hope that an option for changing the fonts in menus is included in a future upgrade of Mavericks. I really don't want to have to go back to a Windows PC to resolve such a simple issue.

Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?

Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
Anyone able to advise me please?

Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself...

I rented 2 movies on my mini3. I connected my mini3 to my MacBook 7.1 but can't find the movies. The only thing I can access from my mini three are the photos and videos. What steps do I need to know?

It appears you have a iPad Mini and a MacBook. Assuming that, this

If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
