What is a "live bookmark," and how can I make sure none of my bookmarks are live?

I'm trying to reduce Firefox's voluminous automatic Internet communication (see previous thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968773#question-reply for background). As far as I know, I have not subscribed to any news-feeds nor clicked on "subscribe to this page."
One thing I don't understand is how to tell whether any of my bookmarks are "live," or whether any of the sites I normally visit automatically refresh their open pages on my browser. I can find no entries on Mozilla Support that even explain what a "live bookmark" is.
Can somebody please:
1) define a "live bookmark,"
2) tell me how to identify one in my bookmarks sidebar (or elsewhere),
3) tell me how to change any "live bookmark" into and ordinary (dead) bookmark, and
4) tell me how to prevent any open Web pages from automatically updating on my browser? (Internet Explorer used to have options for when a page should be updated, including "never.")
I'm currently running Firefox 24.0 under Windows XP SP3. Thanks in advance! -- JCW2

See the [[How to stop Firefox from automatically making connections without my permission]] article.
Live bookmarks, are not enabled by defualt, unless you enable them (the item will always show).

I see the dropdown menus for CC and BCC, but they don't work. I click on them and there is no response except the name I already had in the "TO" field disappears! The attached screenshots shows the name in the "to" field, then the result after choosing "add CC" - the "to" name disappears.

What happens when you use the MagSafe?

It says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

My imac keeps giving me a spinning color wheel and hangs up the machine for a few seconds and sometimes minutes. What could be the program and how can i get rid of it?

My imac keeps giving me a spinning color wheel when i open and close applications and also when I am typing in programs. It happens and spins and then releases. I have done the following: Run virus software and found no problems, I have reinstalled the operating system, I have reloaded Iworks software, I have checked system prefrerences and still the problem continues. What could the problem be and how can I correct the problem?

"the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

Help, please! I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points. What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it?

This is driving me crazy. I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points. Too much info for me. What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it? I've been through all of the preferences, views etc. I can find but no luck. Thinking this has something to with the color settings (obviously) but with all of the possible options there I could use some help. Thanks, all!

May have been a switch from RGB to CMYK.
Or you moved one of the sliders with shift key pressed.

Not fully au fait with iCloud. I don't use it. But if you have done a backup to iCloud then this might help. This reply will refresh your post thereby giving others an opportunity to comment.

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

Try emptying your browser cache more often. If you are using Safari, from the menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video on FB. If can't stream Flash content, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
If that doesn't help, try deleing Flash cookies > Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV
