I also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself (also the add-ons) even when I turn off auto-update.
Sometimes you do not want to update or download a large file; because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off from the previous session, it changes the options to auto-update by itself, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to check again from to time, like a few times a day, because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now I can't use my yahoo toolbar, all my yahoo bookmarks are gone and I hate it! How can I get my stuff back?

First, I kept getting a notice that I should upgrade to Firefox 4. For a few days, I clicked on the link, and it said it was connecting to the server-all day long-until I clicked off of it. So, I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded the new version. My persona disappeared, my yahoo toolbar will not work, all my yahoo bookmarks disappeared and I can't get them back. Is there any way I can fix this! If not, I am going back to IE! This is stupid and frustrating!

Yea, they say they will have it done by '''MAY'''!
Guess I'll just have to turn my computer off for 2 months while I wait.
What other Add-ons don't work? It sure would have been nice to know BEFORE I updated.

Worst webbrowser in the history of web browsers. I cannot get FF to load any images. I have tried everything. Help or no longer using this browser.

FF just opens a black text type of webpage. Just Fing horrible. Everyone says to use you, but it's just a nightmare. Shitty. Sorry, all I seem to do Is F with browsers and anything related to FF. I stopped using FF 8 years ago and it seems as I was correct! JUNK! Can someone help me regarding just to get images from the GD internet to load? Simple, shouldn't have to go through a 45 step process to get this to work. Help or not. Not impressed at all.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.

Mozilla suggested I reset firefox to fix slowness and now all of my bookmarks are gone.

It took quite a while for firefox to start up when I clicked the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggesting I reset firefox and that all of my bookmarks, cookies, etc would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far the only thing this computer now recognizes is my sign-on so that I could ask this question.

Never mind. It must have just taken a while because now they are all there (weird because it took about 45 min.) Please disregard this question.

I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 & now all of my bookmarks are gone. I need help getting them back ASAP!!

Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone. You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

Why the hell does the flash installer try to install mcafee virus scanner?

I did not come to your website to try to get virus protection, so dont try to push it on me! Thats rediculous! Some not so tech savvy person is going to have a scanner already installed on the computer, try to install flash, and BAM! error BZZT ERROR two antiviruses will be installed, causing errors on the system. My Gosh. I hope you guy\s company fails becuase portable devices dont support flash.

After the most recent update my phone was restored to factory settings.... and all of my pictures are gone! Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

After the most recent software update my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage. Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct? In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

A.. bookmarks are GONE! I've tried to locate them as per the instructions to no avail. B. No history is being saved. Cant restore,says unable to process back up file. HELP!!! Thanks much in advance.

A. All of my bookmarks are gone. I've looked in the folders suggested by Mozilla. Nothing there.
B. Im unable to save any bookmarks except my homepage. When I do it is placing it in a bar above my open windows in the browser.
C. I used to be able to type in the first few letters of a website & it'd come up as a drop down in the browser bar-no longer does that.
D. NONE of my history is being saved. Attempts to restore a previous date it says its unable to process the request.
Ive gone through my settings many times and nothing seems out of order.
Help!!!

That combination of issues is an indication that there is a problem with the file that stores history and bookmarks. For details of how to fix it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Why does Firefox, like others, feel it's so important that their updated browser have a "brand new look"? I don't want a "brand new look." I'm happy with the look as it is. So I will NEVER go to Firefox4.

Firefox is highly customizable and you can customize Firefox 4 to look like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.

I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.
The plugin shows on the list as enabled and functioning, yet the tool does not show on the toolbar. It would appear that I need to restore the previous version of Firefox and wait until a newer release of the plugin is available before upgrading the browser.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

9iAS : WHY THE HELL I NEED A CDROM ?

Anyone wanna to laugh ?
I've here one computer that it does not have a CD-ROM! I unzip 9iAS disks installation to the HARDDRIVE, and i try to install just clicking on ISETUP from the the 1st disk!
I get an error "NO CD-ROM available"! WHY THE HELL i need a cd-rom i thought! And the installer shut off and don't give me a chance to install! Of course i went to other directories and found a SETUP.EXE and try it... but... BUGS, BIGS, BUGS... Some services wont start, sometime RUNTIME errors... etc!
So, i thought... ORACLE for sure made an alliance with CREATIVE CD-ROM'S department and in every program they made a routine to check if a CD-ROM is present... and i install a CD-ROM on the computer and try it again...
EUREKA... Setup launch from disk... but the CD-ROM presence WAS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
THIS IS FOR ORACLE GUYS... Why the HELL i need a CD-ROM if i install 9iAS from HARD DISK ????
Someone should be lay off!!!!!

Hi Joao,
One possible solution is to use the silent install methods outlined in Chapter 6 of the install guide. The iSetup.EXE launcher is specifically designed for use from the CD's, since that is the most common method of distribution. However, you can also run the installation silently or semi-silently, depending on how much information you provide in the response file. The response files are organized on the first CD under the \silent\<install_type> directories.
If you are installing the Enterprise Edition, please pay special attention to the silent install chapter, as there are several steps involved in handling the 8.0.6 RSF-based components to ensure that they are installed properly.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Larry

Why the hell shall I buy a external product? (x-fi car

Why the hell shall I buy the digital i/o module to have digital output on my soundcard?
I need to have digital output to connect my soundcard to my ddts-00 decoder like i used to do with my old audigy 2 zs.
Why does creative makes me buy a external module which is hard to find and expensi've when i just spent so much money to buy the soundcard?
Im so disappointed with this situation..Message Edited by tecznology on 07-2-20072:3 AM

If you have to buy something, it's an?adapter. If you own a SB460 model you need a miniplug-to-RCA cable or adapter (and the DDTS00 included one) and if you own a SB0730 model you need an optical miniplug-to-toslink adapter or cable.

How the hell does a person share session data between JSP page and a Servle

1. How the hell does one share session data between a servlet and a JSP page without using a bean but rather using a normal string variable.
2. When using session scope to access a bean the application complains about not finding the bean on the specified scope, however when I use an application scope the save the same bean, the application does find it.
Please help!!!!!!!
SERVLET:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
ServletContext servletContext = session.getServletContext();
customerID = result.getString("CustomerID");
userName = result.getString("UserName");
session.setAttribute("UserName",userName);
session.setAttribute("CustomerID",customerID);
System.out.println("Customer UserName = " + session.getAttribute("UserName"));
response.sendRedirect("/economics/subscriptions/default.jsp");
JSP PAGE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp=http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page mlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" xmlns:sql="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" version="2.0">
<jsp:directive.page isThreadSafe="true" session="true" contentType="text/xml"/><jsp:output omit-xml-declaration="false"/><jsp:scriptlet>response.addHeader("x-xslt-nocache", "true");</jsp:scriptlet><pml>
<page type="web" search="y">
 <pageName>Commercial Banking</pageName>
 <jsp:directive.include file="/economics/header.inc"/>
 <jsp:directive.include file="/login.inc"/>
 <jsp:directive.include file="/economics/leftMenu.inc"/>
 
 <content>
 <searchSum>Commercial - Main Content</searchSum>
 Value = <c:out value="${request.session.getAttribute("UserName")}"/>
 </content>
 <jsp:directive.include file="/economics/rightNav.inc"/>
 <jsp:directive.include file="/footer.inc"/>
</page></pml></jsp:root>

For a start, just "session" instead of "request.session" would work better. But why did you post this here and not in the JSP forum? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Java programming.
