Why does firefox automatically go to work offline on my imac desktop computer and not on my laptop Mac.
Firefox goes to work offline when I do not want it to and I have to restart my computer every time in order to get my internet connected again. My laptop has the same firefox and it never goes to work offline.
What setting can I use to prevent firefox from going offline?
You can try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false

I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
Run the file after you download it to the desktop. -

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it. -
Why did Firefox automatically update to 9.01 today, disabling a needed extension and my main theme?
I (and many others) have complained constantly about FF's constant updates that consistently break extensions, etc.
Therefore, I turned off automatic updates in the OPTIONS folder. I have FF set not to even check for FF updates.
Today, I reboot the computer, my theme is gone, disabled for no good reason. An extension I use (FoxClocks) is gone and listed as incompatible with the new version, '''9.1'''
Hmmm. I thought that applied in mid-January. According to the Update History, Jan 12 to be exact.
Now, I turned off the automatic update feature for FF (leaving it for Add-ons and search engines). Yet, something still seems to have happened automatically in the background that disrupted my browser.
So could someone tell me
(a) has an automatic update been applied against my wishes?
(b) I thought I'd made sure that couldn't happen. How do I stop it from happening, otherwise?
(c) If this wasn't an automatic update, what was it? How do I stop it from happening?Auto update preferences are OFF. I turned off the automatic update feature for FF (leaving it for Add-ons and search engines)
I don't think 9.01 is a new update either. I applied it in mid-Jan according to the software history---that was a late application because I do not like Firefox's frequent update policy and I only apply after they are well established and not likely to break my extensions.
Yet, suddenly, nonetheless one morning my browser booted with the Noia theme gone, and Fox Clocks disabled. (It is now back.) Which is extremely odd since I also use FF on my laptop (Vista) and have FC installed there---and it works fine with this version and there was no such problem on my laptop. What in the world can that be about? (Note that the laptop is Vista; the desktop XP3) -
Why does my finder nest an iTunes music folder within my music folder and not let me delete it?
I'm working on the arduous task of combining and winnowing down my multiple iTunes libraries and music folders onto a single drive. The last thing I have to do is carve out the duplicate tracks from a time I tried to move my library to another drive and it rewrote all of my tracks and added a "1" to the file name (making it virtually impossible to use duplicate finder siftware.
In going systematically through every artist and album folder in my new iTunes/Music folder I found a subfolder called "Music" which essentially mirrors the folder it resides within. In that folder is another "Music" folder with exactlay the same comtents. It's like those russian dolls.
At first I though I found the reason why my folder was taking so much space on my drive (1.4 tb when it should noly be about 70 gb), so I though I would just delete it--but it will not allow me to, giving me the error code -8072.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks for your time.Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Your library is in the newer layout and you are trying to move/have moved the media folder (red outline) to D:\Music. The extra Music folder is supposed to separate other types of media within the iTunes Media folder.
If you don't want (or have room for) your library in the usual location of <User's Music>\iTunes, then you are usually much better off moving the entire iTunes folder to the root of your prefered drive, e.g. as D:\iTunes and accessing the relocated library by holding down shift as you start iTunes. The media folder would then be D:\iTunes\iTunes Media and music would end up at D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>. Keeping this structure make moving the library easier in future.
Since it seems you've already started moving things around it is probably too late to move the library in a single step. See Make a split library portable for details of how you can proceed.

For months Firefox has been providing me with a little dialogue box asking whether I want to update to the latest version. This has been annoying, but each time I have politely clicked the button saying that 'no, I do not wish to update at this time', allowing me to get on with my day using my preferred version of Firefox. However, just moments ago when I most recently opened my Firefox browser, a simple look at the tabs told me that Firefox had updated itself without my permission (something which has happened in the past and really ticks me off). Whenever this problem has presented itself to me in the past, however, I have simply been able to go onto the Firefox website and download my old version. When I tried doing that this time around however, I somehow keep getting stuck with the latest version, which is extremely rankling and the sole reason for my complaint. If Firefox would just stop inviting it's new versions onto my computer whenever it felt like it, I wouldn't be seriously inconvenienced whenever I felt like browsing the internet. It also seems to be harder to find the old versions of Firefox than it used to be, as I am having a devil of a time trying to find my old version (though that may just be me). Frankly, if Firefox would just stop automatically updating itself, it would save me a lot of unnecessary stress and hassle.
if i have to read any comment by matt n again i will throw up...in my mouth. i have gone all over google trying to figure out what the f ff did to me without my permission, i have updates turned off so there should be no prompting to restart, there should be a polite offer not a forced update. i am angry and so are a ton of people.
everytime i go to a new complaint, another angry fellow ff user there is matt n with his infuriating smiling little picture...telling me about the awesome safety and security of the new ff...ignoring that a supposed safe but ugly and unusable browser is worse than a customized, beautiful, well functioning browser...with supposed safety issues. i am so angry i cannot express how this has wasted my time. i have been online for 2 hours now figuring out how to fix, apparently i cannot. my old theme is not compatible now...so i am screwed.
good bye. if i wanted chrome i would have had chrome. but i have no choice now. -
I am trying to perform my first sync, but the progress bar on the tab that opens up does not move. I've left it overnight and still no change.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of firefox and when asked if I wanted to transfer my stuff from Internet explorer I did so but firefox only transferred one favorite folder and that was empty. I have even tried to do this from the firefox toolbar with the same result
Not sure what happened there, but you could try the alternate method.
This involves three steps:
# export your favorites from IE to an HTML-format file
# import that HTML-format into Firefox bookmarks
# move the imported favorites/bookmarks from the import folder to the desired location on the menu
Links for reference:
* IE: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-or-export-favorites-in-Internet-Explorer Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer]
* Firefox: [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]

Can we talk to a tech support person?
Billweins,
What you could try to do is (if not done yet) :
# Uninstall Firefox
#Download Firefox most recent version from [[http://mozilla.org/firefox Mozilla]]
#Re-install Firefox.
If the error persists, I would tell you to follow these steps :
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Why does a CRIO-9004 only provide a timed loop of 1kHz (clock) and not 1MHz?
I essentially have a compact CRIO-9004 and require a PID loop with update rates around 4-5 kHz. Additionally, I was hoping to use multiple 'timed loops' in the program in order to synchronize certain events. During this coding, the timed while loop will not work with a 1MHz clock rate and I am stuck with a clock rate of 1kHz instead. NI claims that PID loops in conjunction with the CRIO may have up date rates as high as 200 ksps. However, it appears that by employing the 1kHz clock that I can only obtain 1 ksps.
What are my options?
Thanks,
ShaneJohn-
The 9215 has a conversion time of 4.4us when scanning 1 channel (see page 14 of the 9215 operating manual). This equates to a little over 227KS/s. The 100KHz value is if you are reading from all 4 channels.

Everytime I try to download a new app it says that there was a problem with a previous purchase and then it said that my card was declined
These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know what the problem with the previous purchase might be.
Does the name and address on your credit card match exactly the name and address on your iTunes account, and have you checked with your card issuer to see if they are ones who are declining it ?

Why does blackberry receive email I've sent from my outlook desktop computer?
If I send an email from my desktop computer at home it comes through on my blackberry too. In the user guide it says I should be able to choose Options, email settings, press the menu key and choose Folder Redirection and then uncheck or check the box beside my email address - in my blackberry (8320 version 4.5 supplied by Orange) the check box is unchecked but I cannot click to activate it or do anything and under the menu key there are no more options about Sent folder - can anyone help as Orange don't know how to do this and say it's something to do with outlook as when I send an email using the BT browser it doesn't come through to my blackberry.
Please can anyone help?I have the same problem with my Pearl2 however it doesn't matter if I send an email from outlook or the browser I get the same result. I'm with O2 and my email is with Sky (which is really google mail). I contacted Sky about it they blamed outlook even though I said it happened without outlook.
I set up a Hotmail account and it's fine so that tells me it is something to do with either the way the BB service from O2 connects to Sky or the way sky are handling things.
What I did notice is if you look at the message headers it looks to me like they are two different emails.
The first email is from my email address to the receipient,

Firefox 3.5.1 on WinXP automatically switches to "Work Offline" when a connection to the internet drops. This was not the case with earlier versions. Why is this necessary? Is there an option/preference setting to change this?
# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Bacteria sized type and the 23" display
I don't know how many of you have ever read Dave Barry's book 'Dave Barry Turns 50', but if you ever have you'll know that he devotes a chapter to the phenomenon of bacteria sized type which appears to readers after age 50. That's the one complaint I
