Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu?

Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu? I know where it is but others have trouble finding it. Why not bring it out into the light?

''the-edmeister [[#answer-695435|said]]''
<blockquote>
Not every user is going to receive the update on the day it is first released, for a couple of reasons. One is to spread out the load on the updates servers over a few days; not every "ping" that checks for the availability of an update will result in the update being downloaded and installed. Some users may not get the update for a few days, depending upon how often that use Firefox or launch Firefox. ''(Firefox "pings" the update server to see if an update is available as part of the startup routine once a day. For users that keep Firefox open for days at a time and keep their PC running 24/7, they won't get the update until they restart Firefox.)''
The second is when a suspected "issue" is found during the 4 or 5 days prior to the release date, when the "Release Candidate" builds are being tested. In such a case, Mozilla will "throttle" the update server to limit the number of users that get the update. That way far fewer users are inconvenienced with a potentially problematic "build" If it turns out that a "chemspill" build is needed to fix an "issue".

Yes, at last, a simple (for non techie users) responsible answer, accurate, and.......analyze exactly how the update works in firefox. I love that, simple, clear answers for simple questions. :-)
thank you the-edmeister :-)

Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated?

If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated? My home computer does not have room for the backup.

Well, you can do that, but your iPad will be totally erased and you will have to start from scratch. You need to backup your iPad and sync with iTunes before you install the update, because the updating process will erase the iPad completely. The reason that you should use your own computer is so that you can restore from the back and then sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You might want to think about the bigger picture and do something to move some of your files off of your home computer because if the hard drive is full, you are going to have computers problems as well, down the road. There are many inexpensive external hard drives available and you might want to take a look at one.

Can't get the software to work with Audigy 2

Hi, I have had my Audigy 2 ZS going on a year now and haven't had any problems. I recently made a clean install of Windows XP and upgraded to SP2 and all that. Now, I can get sound out of the card but can't get the software to work at all; cannot get the volume slider bar to appear when I click the icon (it appears in the task bar though and I get a small gray square where the slider should appear), the surround mixer does not show when I double click the volume icon, EAX conxole is a no go, get an empty error box when I try to start the Equaliser.
I have tried everything from simple re-install to clean sweep to praying to the pagan gods. I have alsoo tried updating the drivers of course.
I run XP on an Intel MoBo (on-boeard sound deactivated), 52RAM, ATI 9700 ALL-IN-WONDER.
DOES THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE DEPEND ON ANY WEIRD LITTLE WINDOWS SERVICE OR SETTING THAT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED DURING SETUP?
This is quite infuriating as any idea I come up with takes up a lot of time in installation, uninstallation and clean up. It worked before, why not now?
Thanks in advance. dentore

Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

How can i get the timestamp of first data at continue sample mode?

The tangent ist the derivative of the curve in that point. You can try to use a numerical derivative vi or keep it simple an approximate with a line through the adjacent points.

On My Wife's iPad 4, when she enters a note it is automatically copied to her Gmail email account. I can't get the settings right to do the same thing on my new iPad Air. Any suggestions?

Go into Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calenders then you need to click on your email and make sure you have the thing next to the word notes switch on.
Then they should sync over the iCloud
Hope this helps!

I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
Thanks!
SmettSky

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

CS3: Rotated page item: How can I get the top-right point

Hi
I have a rotated page item. Now I should have the top-right and the bottom left point. If I get the rectangle of this page item I only have the top-left and the bottom-right point. And I can read the rotation angle.
- How can I get the missing points?
Thanks
Hans

Algorithmically speaking (ie, this is NOT real code), isn't it just something like:
if page.rotationAngle == 90 then
origTopLeft = (newBottomRight.Y, newTopLeft.X);
else if page.rotationAngle == -90 then
origTopLeft = (newTopLeft.Y, newBottomRight.X);
else if page.rotationAngle == 180 then
origTopLeft = newBottomRight;
else
origTopLeft = newTopLeft;

The itunes store app on the iphone 4s does not appear on the iphone at all so i can't purchase any media. I have done all the updates on the iphone and in itunes. This happened right after i did the latest iphone update. HOW CAN I GET THE ITUNES BACK?

after doing all the latest updates to both my iphone 4s and itunes the itunes store app on the iphone just dissapeared. Now i can't purchase any media. How can i get itunes store app back on my iphone?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?

I just installed Firefox 4. How can I get the "✪Bookmarks▼" out of the way on the right end of my Bookmarks Toolbar so that I can see more of my "normally seen" bookmarks? in English

With my previous edition of Firefox, I had more bookmarks shown in the toolbar. I like it that way rather than having to move to the right and then scroll. How can I get that feature back?

You can remove the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks #bookmarks-menu-button { display:none !important; }
