Why can't different tabs have different languages?

I want to be able to switch between tabs, and that each tab will remember the language I used in it. Both explorer and chrome have this feature, but firefox does not, and I really like firefox in all other manners. This is a very important feature for non-english speaking counties.
I have wrote this question before (6 months ago), but did not get any feedback. FF4beta does not seem to have this feature as well.

Maybe try to contact the developer of the Content Preferences extension and ask if he can include that in a next version. The extension can set the encoding, but not the language if that is what you want.

  • Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different ACL?

    Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different access control list then the sources it draws from?
    Scenario: Some lecture content is in a private course viewable to course members only and some is put on a public page viewable to all. Can the content on the smart tab viewable to the public have different permissions?
    Scenario: Public site starts with small number of courses, say 16, located in 4 sections on the main welcome tab. Administrators have edit only rights to the Welcome page and grant editing rights to each of the course pages to others. A few months later the site has more content and decides to change the four sections on the Welcome page to four section pages with courses attached to it. The new pages would have new editors for them. Can the course pages originally located on the main welcome page be restricted to no viewers and smart tabs put in new courses connected to the new section tabs? The thought here is to avoid rebuilding the site as the architecture changes.
    All comments appreciated!

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why can I not just have a new phone.

    I am on my 3 refurbished replacement phone and am starting to get fustrated with Verizon. Every refurbished Galaxy S III that has been sent to me has had a different malfunction. Why can't I just have a new phone enstead of a refurbished one.

    Yes, it should, that's why they have a warranty, and the warranty says that after 14 days and up to 1 year, they will replace it with a refurbished device.
    If you buy a new car and have problems with the transmission after 6 months, do they give you a new car, or "refurbish" the one you have? (It's not like Verizon is doing something "new and different" with their warranty)

  • This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I click and find things at an instance like I could with the Google Toolbar?

    This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I can click and find things at an instance, like I could with the Google Toolbar?
    Example:- I've just spent 20 minutes looking how to 'translate' after I installed that add-on, there it was! A tiny little icon in the bottom right of the screen, I find the new set up very messy and very hard to navigate. Why can't I have the same set up on my toolbar that I've had for the last ten years? It's that bad that I'm even considering going back to I.E.
    Jon T

    Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
    I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.

  • Why can't a button have 'actions applied to it' in Flash CS3?

    Why can't a button have 'actions applied to it' in Flash CS3?
    I'm used to working with buttons in Flash MX and Flash 8 but
    after creating a button in Flash CS3, I'm getting text that reads
    'Current Selection Cannot Have Actions Applied To It' and so the
    actions menus are greyed out.
    What's the problem?

    There is nothing stopping you from producing files in the old
    ways. Go to the publish settings and select to publish as AS2. You
    can then use the techniques you are familiar with.
    However as dzedward points out, Actionscript has come a long
    way. The technique of putting the code directly on instances really
    went out with Flash MX in 2001 and for a long time now that wasn't
    the best way to do it. See this article by the very excellent David
    Stiller about it:
    http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
    So even if you aren't ready to take the plunge into AS3, I
    would recommend learning this style for all your AS2/1
    needs.

  • HT5444 why does finding the download link for mavericks have to be a scavenger hunt. why can't they simply have a downloads tab like any normal site. I love MAC, BUT WHO EVER IS MAKING THE WEB SITE IS A CREEP.

    can sombody tell me where to find the download link for the mavericks upgrade?

    Odd.... I read complaints ALL THE TIME that it's in the way of everything...
    Its in the App Store. (Mac HD/Applications/AppStore)

  • Client & server can use different language when using socket for client/ser

    When building client/server applications using socket , is it that client and server do not need to use both Java as long as they implement the same networking protocol?

  • Why can't we just have separate log ins and be done with this nonsense?

    As the topic says...
    This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...
    That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.
    If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.
    Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have to login to the forums... what give? Idiotic.
    Adding to the above, doing away with this single log in would also mean an end to this frustration of suddenly getting logged off, randomly staying logged in, etc., etc.

    It reduces the number of accounts people have to remember. I am very
    glad I do not have to have separate accounts for the Adobe site, the
    WebX forums, the Fusetalk forums, the Acrobat.com site, the
    Photoshop.com site, the trainers portal, the Community portal, the
    Partner portal etc.
    I remember the days those were all different accounts and I am glad they
    are gone. I can't wait until the prerelease site and the EDS site are
    fixed to work with the Adobe ID as well.
    In my reply to Kaguyen, I wrote:
    I agree that having a single loging procedure for all the forums was logic and necessary. However, I still completely fail to understand the logic behind tying the Adobe Store and the Forums login procedures. By its very nature, the former needs strong security measures that are not only unnecessary, but also completely absurd in a public forum. I gladly accept being logged out of my bank account and of the  Adobe Store after a fixed period of inactivity. However, I see no reason for, and strongly object to, being logged out of any public forum after any period of time.
    I would very much prefer remembering separate login data for each than been constantly logged out of the forums. Even more so as the login procedures currently in use were not tested properly before being implemented, and logouts occur unpredictably, including many cases where the user is active. Following your logic, why not have just one username and password for everything, including bank accounts, large stores such as Amazon, taxing purposes, etc?
    But separating them just isn't going to happen. And you know it isn't,
    because it isn't a technical decision but a policy choice. So I would
    very much appreciate if you stopped whining and detracting attention
    from issues that do stand a chance of changing.
    Jochem
    Now this is really a gem. I do hope you are not a member of the Adobe higher quarters, and that you are not officially speaking for Adobe, because a company that isn't able to recognize and correct a bad policy decision is doomed. Also, I hope you are willing to explain to us mere mortals which of the very many issues people are (in your words) whining about do stand a chance, however slight, of changing.

  • Why can I not tab out of table cell after running command from keyboard

    In my Jtable I have context menu with actions that can be performed on the selected cells either using mouse, or the action can be initiated directly from the keyboard using the defined acceleratorkey.
    After the action has completed you can tab out of the selected cells using the Tab key or cursor keys if the action was initiated with the mouse, but not if initiated with the keyboard but Im at a loss as to what causes the difference.
    thanks Paul

  • Why can't we simply have an option to enable/disable Javascript on sites again in the settings for Firefox 27? Suddenly my Gmail attachments won't open. Gmail.

    Suddenly my Gmail attachments have stopped opening, and I receive the message: JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.
    I found a Mozilla support thread where it was explained that Javascript has been turned off for a while in FF. OK. Then there was a complicated answer about how you could still turn it back on by typing in a config code into the address bar. What? Or, you could download an extension to do that for you. Why?
    Please-- if you really feel like users can't be trusted, and Javascript must be turned off, at least bring back the ability to enable/disable Javascript on a per site basis in options, without having to know code. It's Gmail.
    Thank you.

    There is nothing on that thread that says Javascript is turned off by default. to quote:
    "In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
    However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on. "
    The UI checkbox to disable Javascript was removed, but the option still exists in about:config (which isn't code btw, it's just preferences), nor was Javascript turned off by default, in fact the opposite is true, it is enabled by default with the option to disable it made a little more difficult to find, as only advanced users need to disable Javascript.
    Please try to clear the cache and cookies for gmail, let's see if those are causing problems. [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]], [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

  • Why can't inner classes have static methods?

    I just tried to add a static method to an inner class, which would have been useful for extracting constants about said inner class, and it turns out that is not allowed.
    Of course I have other ways to code what I wanted, but I'm curious as to why this restriction was set in place. Anybody know?

    Probably because an inner class is tied to an instance of the enclosing class. I think that, conceptually at least, the inner class' definition itself only exists in the context of an instance of the enclosing class. While I'm sure it would have been technically possible to allow it, it would be confusing and not make a whole lot of sense--what is the static context for the inner class, since the class only exists in a non-static context?

  • Why can I neither change the movie language nor the subtitle??

    Hi there,
    I did all the setting change in "Audiosubtitle" and "Audio", but nothing happens with the movie Jonny English; cannot whatch it in English.
    When watching the movie and when I push the center button it also doesn't bring up the menue to chose the language.
    Please help!

    This is not possible. The timestep for the model is fixed and compiled into the model. You can do things like trigger model subsystems based on an input value or some event within the model.

  • Why can't iPad 2 have Siri

    iPad 2 should have Siri.

    Why? Apple did not promise Siri when you bought your iPad.
    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
