What happended to the prompt to clear history on exit?

I used to get a prompt to clear my history selections on exit. Now it seems I have to choose automatic clearing or doing it manually from the Tools menu.
Also, I would like to clear history over X days old. The save history for X days doesn't seem to do anything any more. Either I have history for months or all is cleared. I would really like my history to clear automatically for more than 2 days old. There isn't even a manual way to do it. I can clear recent history or all history, but not older history. This is pretty worthless.
Did I just dream that Firefox had a setting to clear history older than X days? I know that Internet Explorer has it.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. The good news is that I was not dreaming that Mozilla took something away. The better news was an add-on brings it back.
Now that you've shown me the add-on, I see there are many other posts on this topic. For some reason (bad search questions, I suppose), I couldn't find them before I posted my original question.

What happend to the Firefox triangler list history button that was just below the forward buttton.

What happened to the Firefox 3.x triangular list history button that was just below the forward button? It was kind of small. It was on the line with the web address.
Is there some option for getting it back?
I am running tenfourfox. I do not see a forum for them. I know it is a port of FireFox 4.0, so maybe the answer will be the same.
The history drop down is :
-- in an inconvenient location
-- has extra junk at the top
-- is limited to ten items. Is there a way to increase the number ?
Robert

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

What happend to the Moderator?

I am a Jr Oracle DBA, though I have several years of SYBASE experience my knowledge of Oracle is very minimal. With the large base of excellent Oracle masters and guru's, I rather remain a junior in this field because there is a lot to learn from everyone.
I have been using this forum and others on OTN and metalink to learn from others problems and solutions. Trying out stuff and learning along. Never needed to post anything yet because I could find most of what I was looking for from the documentation, books and forums such as these. So this is my first post, sad to say that I have to write on this first
Over the past 3 days or so I have noticed very unhealthy discussions by certain individuals such as ‘ohiostate’. He has been accusing the entire professional community in several layers, authors, volunteers, publishers and user groups. The thread “A Good Guideline book for Database systems” is a perfect example..
First of all, when people write such generic statements and generic advices they should have the basic commitment to disclose themselves. Otherwise they should be treated as anonymous and deleted. But what happend to the moderator?
By using such generic names in their user ids and using such abusive language, accusing others, who does he represent, causing disgrace to all the Oracle users from Ohio State or Ohio State University?
Everything this user has mentioned should be taken with little or no value. This user in particular is a disgrace to the Oracle user community. How does he call himself a Oracle DBA?
Moderator, could you delete the threads/replies created by this individual and bring some health to this discussion forum? or merely do something with this person?

Jason,
I agree with you, unfortunately there have been several individual whose contributions are less than non-sense couple of bytes such as "read the manual" without even worrying about pointing out to the specific piece of manual, or even worst, suggesting to read a manual they have even not read themselves. There have been other cases even worst who in a completely anonymous way attack and harass other members from the forum, those individuals have been removed from the forum several times, there was an individual who directly attacked Justin Cave several times, it attacked also Andrew Clark aka APC, and it was removed along with its rubbish threads.
Sad to hear this is the topic for your first post, but at the same time, I feel glad this forum at least has served at a certain extent to solve your problems, so you have not had the need to start a post on your own. Solving an specific problem for an OP or indirectly serving others as accurately as possible is the spirit of the forum.
There is a moderator, and you can reach him by posting your thread at the Community Feedback (No Product Questions)
Best Regards.

What happend to the sort function?!

Latest version for iPad, what happend to the sort function?
I have very big lists and I can't live without that function, I need to be able to sort the list descending.
So my latest adds will end up in TOP, not bottom.
I also need this function in my iPhone aswell...

Thanks, but I still don't see any reason for removing that function from an existing version.
Even if there is a new super-spotify under development... (that only might have that function..?)
I can only hope that this new super-spotify app will have the sorting functions that are compareable to the Windows version of Spotify, eg sort on track, artist, time, album ,added date. It's not a tricky thing to add and it should have been added years ago.
It's a real pain in the ass right now with big playlists in my iOS devices.

What happend to the four finger swipe?

I used to be able to swipe down with four fingers and all open windows would neatly arrange themselves so I could pick the one I wanted to use. Now, when I swipe the screens dims a little, but the active windows aren't there. If I minimize the windows and swipe, they arrange at the bottom in a new, smaller configeration. What happend to the swipe?

If it is still listed and selected in system preferences then try booting into Safe Mode and see if the problem persists. Here is a link to a system maintenance Application to help keep thing running smoothly.

What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject

Hello
What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject
THNX from germany
barish

Hi,
In the query execution there are a sequence of steps performed before we actually see the data. One of these steps is Authorization check.
When we check Auth Relevant for a characteristic and have a Authorization Variable in the query. The authorizations assigned to the user are checked to see what the user has access to. For instance if we have a auth relevance for Region char, and we used it in the query. User who is running the query has authorization to Germany only, then the output of the report has only data relevant to that user, i.e., for Germany.
Hope this helps.

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

Note that Firefox disables the disk cache if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cache (see about:cache), so you can either disable the disk cache via its related pref or set the prefs related to clearing this data,but then other items that have a check-mark by default are cleared as well.
*browser.cache.disk.enable
*privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache
*privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Having trouble connect consistantly with websites, clear history then it works and an hour later, need to do the same thing (clear history to connect)

Just purchased new laptop with Windows 8, loaded firefox for browser as have always used in other computers. Am having trouble accessing websites, for example when I go to my gmail gmail.com, an error comes up that it can't access the website, check connections. But if I go and clear history, includidng the cache, then close Firefox and reopen and then try it works. Then I'll move onto other things and go back and it still works. Not sure what is the trigger, but when I try to go back to my gmail for example.(as it happens on other sites as well, my banking, my facebook, etc) I get that error again, I then have to again clear history,...then everything works!!! It's very frustrating as I have to clear history at least a dozen times per day! What is happening!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

What happend to the save option for tabs?

in version 3.x, there was an option to save the open tabs and the prompt to save would come up when shutting FF, where is this now in 4.x?? Put it back please..

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# In the Firefox menu select Preferences to open the Preferences window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

What happend to the per tab history button?

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and noticed the per-tab history button which if you clicked on it would list all the sites that had been visited in that individual tab and would allow you to quickly select a site and go back to it has been removed! It was on the left of the tab bar just to the left of the "<" button and it looked like how the current "List all tabs" button looks. This feature was SO useful, now if I want to go and see all the sites I visited in a tab historically I must keep clicking the back arrow button which is much less efficient. Developers PLEASE ADD THIS BACK!!!

Click-hold or right-click the Unified Back / Forward button to see the "history" in that tab. Or, you can install this extension which restores the drop-marker arrow. <br />

What happend to the user's library folder?

I updated from 10.6 to 10.7 and now when I go to my username directory I do not see a library folder anymore?

I was able to get to the folder by using the option key but I was only able to drag it to the Finder window toolbar, how do I get to the sidebar? Preferably I would want the folder in the user home folder but I couldn't get it there either.

You don't need a script, all you have to do is what fanboy 512 and scottmij said. Hold the alt/option key and click on the Go menu. If you drag it to your Finder sidebar, it will stay there.

What happend to the color well in CS4?

Hi Guys,
So I recently upgraded to CS4 and I noticed something weird, in the properties inspector for text I'm missing the font properties, color well, etc.... I can find the items when I switch from HTML inspector to CSS inspector... but that wants to make a full on CSS stylesheet change not just a font.
This happens on not just exisiting pages but even blank new pages not associated with a stylesheet. I'm putting a screenshot in of what I'm talking about.
Is this intentional, or do I just have a setting not turned on?

This is intentional, CS4 is now more standards compliance orientated, and using css (stylesheets or in-line css styles), is the recommended way of styling a document.
Using css rules from the properties panel will place them in the head of the document, unless you select otherwise.
