When I go to google I do not see the gray lock in the top left of the address bar. I did before today

I left my mac on and connected to the internet last night. Today I restarted my computer and when I went to google.com I saw a gray exclamation point in the address bar instead of the usual gray lock. I reset firefox and even re-installed it. This did not fix the problem. Wondering what is going on with this.

If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.
You can open the Web Console (Tools > Web Developer) and check if there are lines with [mixed] marked red to see if that helps to identify the mixed content.

The google feeling lucky app from the address bar is not working, a program called vshare performs a search instead and I am unable to restore the original function. please help

I do not know how but vshare, has been performing a search everytime I type something in the address bar that is not a complete website i.e. facebook instead of facebook.com
this is very annoying and I am unable to uninstall vshare, I have even tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it

I had this problem too, and just fixed it, and found a great website that helped.
1. In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
2. Locate and double-click the entry for keyword.URL
3. Set the value based on which search provider you would like to use for your address bar searches. Here are a few search strings you can use.
Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=
Ask: http://www.ask.com/web?q=
Google: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
ChaCha: http://search.chacha.com/search/query?searchwithguide=0&query=
source: http://www.technipages.com/firefox-change-address-bar-search-provider.html
And if you want the I'm Feeling Lucky search, instead of just the Google page search, then put:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
instead of: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
I just did that, and it worked for me. I had to go through a bunch of the different options, but I found one that worked.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

My preferences are set to 'show informational overlay' but when I scroll through events I do not see the date as I'm supposed to. I only see the date underneath the event. What am i doing wrong?

I so not see the date as I scroll through my events and I have my preferences set to 'show informational overlay'. They only date I see is below the event. What am I doing wrong?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Passing values but not in the address bar?

Hi,
There is a desire to link to a quiz made in APEX from our Intranet page using the Intranet's login (they dont require an APEX login). The way I've been planning on doing it is to take the Intranet's &USER. (or however the value is referenced) and pass it to a hidden item on the first page and then to an application item. However, the user is able to simply delete a character from the address bar's parameter value or make a completely new name...is there a way to just display the URL as: http://link:port/pls/apex/f?p=177:12:4499632641891821::
and pass the parameters to the items another way? Javascript somehow for example? Any help appreciated <3
Mike

Unsure how bulletproof this solution is, but you can try including a check against the referring URL to ensure the URL isn't manually hacked.
if OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('HTTP_REFERER') is null
or lower(OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('HTTP_REFERER')) not like '%my-referring-url%' then
-- sorry, you came from the wrong link
end if;(Try calling owa_util.print_cgi_env in a pl/sql region to show all the environment info available)

How come I can not see the volume bar on my music

I do not always see the volume bar on my iPhone music, how can I get the volume bar to display on the bottom of the music screen?

tap on the screen?

Why can I not have the address bar appear when I installed Firefox 3.6?

Your "pictures" appeared and I had to choose one in order to continue. It would not clear unless I chose one. From then on, I could have no address bar, just Google, Yahoo, and in very dark bqckground which was hard to see. I tried everything; and finally gave up and deleted my Firefox. I have been a user for several years, but this one messed everything up. I could not get my addresses from the Express, and if I am going to have to use Outlook for the address book, I might as well just use Explorer! Give me some help (I have tried filling in the questions) and I will reinstall Firefox, I did like it a lot.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I do not see the whole Browser om my screen (seems to be biger than the screen) since I updated firefox to the last version (5.0 I think), I do not see the lateral bar

in addition to the first problem ("question") part of the text in for example online news papers is not sharp; i do not see any of these problems with internet explorer

I've just had a look at your system details.
You have three pieces of nasty software all of which cause major problems - MyWebSearch, Ask Toolbar and FBSMTWB(Fast Browser Search Make The Web Better!).
Google them if you are in any doubt. You will find information and advice - not from the people behind those or Fun Web Products or MindSpark. You can also look in the Search Firefox Help box above.
You can laboriously delete each one by going to Add-ons>Extensions and Plugins and also look in Windows Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs(Programs and Features in Win7) but they may leave debris behind in about:config and Windows Registry. You are showing as using Fx3.6.17. Is this correct? These types of problems often interfere with your User Agent String.
However, I think you might do better to start all over with an uninstall and re-install of a more up-to-date Firefox, eliminating all your add-ons but first backing up your bookmarks and settings.
This problem - and it is a very serious one - is beyond my capabilities.
One of the top contributors should come along some specific and concrete advice.
Help anyone?

In the newest firefox - when on youtube watching videos, I no longer see the streaming bar (lighter red) indicating the video has been downloaded. Any ideas why?

I have just upgraded to the latest firefox.
I have a problem streaming videos on youtube. Typically, when you stream a video on youtube, you can see on the "timebar", that the video is being downloaded shown in a lighter red, with the solid red the indicating which of the video you're already at.
However, in the latest version firefox, I longer see the streaming (lighter red) on the timebar, so I have no idea how much it has downloaded/streamed. I have updated my flash etc...but doesn't solve the problem. Can anybody help? Thanks!

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Is there a way to make sure firefox does not erase the address bar list

First of all I have no idea where I am supposed to ask this so forgive me if I am in the wrong place. I have noticed when firefox erases it's history all of the web addresses are erased from the location bar. This is a huge inconvenience. Is there a way to 1: customize the bar quickly with all my favorite websites and 2: prevent firefox from erasing the address list in the location bar?

# See [[How to customize the toolbar]] and [[Bookmarks Toolbar]]
# Don't clear browsing history. See more info in [[Clear Recent History]].

Foxfire just updated to 3.6.14. Now when I open Facebook, in the secured site, it keeps asking the name of this computer each and every single time. Facebook does not recognize the computer, as it did before.

As above, whenever I reopen Facebook, I have to put in my log in information, and then I have to put in "home", as the name of my computer, and I have to do this each time I open up Facebook, after I just got the new Firefox update to 3.6.14.

I recently updated to Photos. Now, when I am using my photo processing software, such as Flare or FX Photo Studio, I do not have the usability as I did before.

For example, I cannot drag and drop photos from Photos to the processing program. Nor can I save them directly from the processing program to Photos, it is not an option. I have to save it as a jpeg in finder, then open "other" and select Photos. Is this a Photos issue or a software issue? I did not have these issues when using iPhoto. I have Yosemite 10.10.3, and all photo processing software is the latest version.
Additionally, Photos is not even a topic to choose from in this forum yet, they still have only iPhotos listed under the "Life" category. Is Apple planning increasing its Photos support as iPhoto is phased out?

It is caused by the system upgrade to Yosemite. The new Photos.app has been designed using the newer frameworks in Yosemite, and the older applications need updates to be fully compatible with the way newer applications are sharing content in Yosemite.
Additionally, Photos is not even a topic to choose from in this forum yet, they still have only iPhotos listed under the "Life" category. Is Apple planning increasing its Photos support as iPhoto is phased out?
Photos is not an iLife application, is is Part of MacOS X 10.10.3 and the forum is listed under system software.

Did you make a backup of your system before you replaced the operating system?

When Firefox blocks an automatic redirect, can I see the address the site wants to redirect to?

I have the "Warn me when websites try to redirect ir reload the page" box checked under the general tab in Advanced Options. Frequently I get the pop-up bar that informs me "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." If I don't allow the redirect in most cases the site works fine although sometimes the site will no open unless I click allow. I want to see where the site is trying to send me, is there a way to do this?

Maybe an add on can do this, however there are also third party tools that do this: [http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/blog/seo-tools/trace-control-redirect-paths/]

When I go to google I do not see the gray lock in the top left of the address bar. I did before today
