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]]

    Not a good idea.
    What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

  • If I click stop, why can't I simply re-start the track?

    I got to say I can't get on with the new version of iTunes. And I normally embrace change but this is not better in any way whatsoever.
    Most frustrating is when I'm playing a track, If I click stop, why can't I simply re-start the track? It doesn't comu up with an option to pause the track...
    Also, when I click on an track that sits on my desktop, why doesn't iTunes autoatically default to show the music folder and the actual track thats showing....
    Grrrrrrrrrrr....
    Neil

    iTunes does allow you to pause and restart a track as long as you don't change the source. If you do that you only get the stop option.
    If I remember correctly iTunes has always done this, you are not the first person tp find this annoying.
    If you would like to suggest improvements to iTunes, use the "Provide iTunes feedback" option on teh iTunes help menu. We are all just users here so it is unlikely that anyone from Apple will read your post.

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

  • 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.

    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.

  • In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div'?

    In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

    Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool.  Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I do carry the insurance and you are right about the contract but I am still fustrated that out of 3 replacement phones, all 3 have something wrong with them. And yes I did get my original phone at a discount price but it was still $300+  so it should of lasted longer than 6 to 7 months.
    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)

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

  • Since downloading the update for Firefox 3.6.10 all websites that I previously stayed logged into must be logged into everytime I open them. Why? And can this be fixed?

    This has happened with previous Firefox updates but only after the initial update. Once I logged into websites such as facebook, yahoo, hotmail etc. I stayed logged in and was able to access these sites without having to log in each and every time. I have checked all boxes on these and all other sites to remember passwords and to keep me logged in and I still have to log in on each new visit. I rebooted my computer and this did not help. I made sure that Remember Passwords was checked on the Security tab under Options in the Tools for Firefox.

    How can Mozilla be contacted to report this problem directly to them instead of posting to a forum?

  • Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

    Please can someone help, I have a question in my coursework that I don't know the answer to! Explain how PostScript fits into the design process?

    The simple answer is that today PostScript really doesn't fit at all into the Graphic Design process, at least in terms of what the graphic designer needs to know.
    Historically, though, the PostScript imaging model, first introduced circa 1984 provided the basis for the initial publishing software including PageMaker, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and even Ventura Publisher. This imaging model included support for continuously scalable text, vector, and raster imagery as well as the concepts of a current transformation matrix that allowed arbitrary scaling, rotation, etc. and multiple color spaces (grayscale, RGB, CMYK, spot, device independent, and color-managed).
    The PostScript imaging model was effectively replaced by the PDF imaging model, a significant superset of the PostScript imaging model, by the time Illustrator 9 and InDesign 2 were released in terms of support of ICC color management, transparency, etc.
    The fact is that a good graphic designed doesn't need to know anything about PostScript or PDF per sé, but rather about the basics of color (such as issues associated with color gamut and what how that affects display and printing), use of text versus vector versus raster images and why one should keep content at the highest level of abstraction all the way to the rendering (or screen) or RIP process for printing. Some knowledge of typography also helps.
