Solve : Permanently remove BING? |
Answer» I have a PC running Window 7 PRO. When I opened my Firefox browser I discovered Bing has hijacked my browser (from Google) as the default search engine. But only when I launch Firefox. If I open a NEW tab while the Bing search engine page is open, it opens in Google. And it remains in Google for any ADDITIONAL new tabs I open. But if I close all tabs and launch Firefox again. Bing opens. How do I get Google back upon launch and remove Bing 100% ?https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Permanently+remove+BING#kpvalbx=_jWG7X-W9EM-R4-EP9raXoA418 |

Solve : Chrome freezing upon waking from sleep? |
Answer» My PC has started freezing after being woken from sleep and I can't seem to find the right solution to fix this. By frozen, I mean the page can't be scrolled by using the mouse wheel. I can close the browser and OPEN another page or the same page (site) and everything is normal again.1) Is the computer freezing or is it just the browser? If just the browser, is it all browsers or just whichever one you use as your default? |

Solve : Loading pages on google.? |
Answer» Still in trouble, I use Google on my laptop and have an icon top left of the screen. When I open the CP I get a blank white page, after a few seconds the BBC or a Microsoft page appears. (I needed Google so I can check my mail). Now I drag the page down to uncover my google icon, then I click on the icon, the google page comes up, I then close the other page. I am now in business. The question is why do I have to do all this just to open google, it has only recently started playing up, any advice appreciated. You need to go into the preferences in your browser and set the website you want as your homepage, in your case Google. If you get stuck, post which browser you are using and I can tell you how to do it. The PRONOUN you're looking for is "we", not "I" thanks Al, I get to check the home button, but there is no change. I am trying to make google chrome my home page. primary because from there I get plenty of options including google mail I thank you for your help.Don't like to presume that ANYONE ELSE is going to join in and help, yes I'm new to this forum, but have noticed how many questions have gone unanswered for days, you only have to look at how many unanswered questions there are. I am not on here for flame wars, but to help people.Weird happenings, my problem seems to have solved itself and I no have google as my home page, solve one problem get another 4 weeks ago I downloaded and paid for ad-block, yet I am now getting pestered to buy ad-block, how can I contact them?You do not need to pay for an ad blocker - a lot of people use uBlock Origin, which is easy on CPU and memory, and it's free (I use this one). Another one is Adblock Plus, which is what I think you may have been looking for, which again is free. |

Solve : What is a “modern browser”?? |
Answer» I searched SO before asking this potentially vague question, found many references to 'modern browsers', but no definitions. Since this is a term very widely used and referenced, I was surprised that I couldn't find a definition or even a description on the Internet. I think a modern browser is one that supports multiple tabs. Older browsers didn't have tabs so, if you wanted to view multiple websites, you had to open a new instance of the browser.Very interesting. Could you provide an example of a browser that does not have tabs?I am assuming your question relates to what is known as "tabbed browsing" and I believe that Microsoft didn't start using tabbed browsing until IE6 or IE7, but I am not sure my brain is properly remembering that, so forgive me if I am wrong. Now this browser stuff goes back quite a few years and I am again not sure about my memory, but I think one of our ISOC founders was involved in the start of a tabbed browser back in maybe the 80s or 90s, but I am not sure. As for the general question related to defining a modern browser --- that's tough. To me everything about the Net is modern because I remember computers that took up whole rooms and needed lots of air-conditioning and that was in the late 60s when I was at school and my school at that time had some of the best computers in the world. I still have a few TRS80s, "Trash80s" we called them, and that is still modern to me. Maybe I can think of a true floppy disc as not "modern" any longer. I MEAN, the real floppy disc that could be bent. I still have a whole bunch of those, some not even out of the wrapper. But my TRS80s use those and I have quite a collection of all sorts of stuff on about 100 floppy DISCS. I think I can move those out of the description of "modern". But I still can't move that actual TRS80 unit out of the thinking that it is "modern" because I remember when they first came out and they were so small and so great, at that time. Now browsers these DAYS worry me, because I fear that all the hype about security is covering up the key point, commercialization. I suspect recent browsers are MAINLY so companies can do a better JOB of making money. Sure there is security mixed into that, but I wonder how important the "making money" part of browser upgrade is, compared to the security? Maybe some day I can hire some people to do a proper study on that subject. Something like a percentage thing of 50% of the upgrade is for security and 50% is for commercialization. Some sort of way to easily understand what's going on. A modern browser? What a difficult question? Especially for an old fart like me. |

Solve : Is it safe to delete IE from a Win7Pro OS?? |
Answer» Greetings! Long time no see. I have a desktop running Win7Pro, with both IE and Edge browsers. When I open Edge, I see IE open up and run underneath/in background. Both IE and Edge have been updated as recently as possible (with IE, it's kinda MOOT, EH?) Can I safely delete/uninstall IE so that only Edge RUNS? With two browsers running simultaneously, it bogs down. I noticed on my Win10 laptop that only Edge is installed, no sign of IE. If this has been answered elsewhere, please include link to that thread. I only looked back SEVEN pages in this section... |

Solve : How to make downloads go faster? |
Answer» hi i was wondering how could i MAKE downloads go faster. Right now my download from megaupload is going at 83.3kb but before it used to go at like 400kb. I noticed that when i download stuff now i can still go on to sites pretty fast but when it downloaded at like 400kb my browser sites would load slow. i was wondering if there was ANYWAY to change it so my download get full priority.Ok, since no one has answered, here is one. When you try to download some real file, the speed depends on quality of servers, quality of your connection, time of the day, how many users are accessing that file, etc.it mostly depends on the site, some sites limit their download speed pretty low,...you could download two files at the same time, first one file to know the speed for download 1 file. wait a minute download a second file just to see if the speed splits, if your first download was running at 80kbps for 1 minute and then when you downloaded the second and the speed splits so the files run at 40kbps then your connection speed has decreased and you should call your internet company dudes... but if not then 80kbps must be the site download speed limit, or it could be that you have limited the max download speed for your computer and theres no DOUBT there is such a function SOMEWHERE, .... |

Solve : How can I transfer data in Zotero (firefox add-on) from one comp to another?? |
Answer» Hello: I use Firefox and have the Zotero addon, which is used for researching articles. It takes screen shots, and also records a list of references, the names of the author, and any notes that I want to keep about what I've read. I have done a lot of research and have recorded it in Zotero. It's all on my laptop and I'd like to transfer it to my PC. Is this possible? In the past, I just copied the entire Firefox Folder: Does it work? But it won't insert/change the registry in any way, or insert the program into the start menu etc...You would have to install the program, and then replace the existing Application Data with the one copied from the other computer.Gotcha... Gentlemen: I now have my long lost laptop before me. I've gone to program files, mozilla firefox, but I can't find Zotero there. I looked in the general folder, and also in the subfolders, such as modules, plugins, components etc., but I can't find it! Can you help me find the file so I can copy it and try to put it into my new PC? Thanks! P.S. I guess I need to open a new forum topic on this one, but while you're here...I'm also trying to get my address book from one comp to the other. May I ask you--I've found the old one, copied it, and written it into a CD. And I checked the CD to make sure it's actually there, and it is. Then, I put the CD into my new PC and it comes up with a blank. It just says"Insert CD", and when I CLICK on properties of the two CD drives, it shows no disc. What can I do about that, or where on the forums should I go to ask? Thanks!For Firefox: Computer 1: Copy C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Computer 2: Paste to C:\Program Files Computer 1: Copy C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Firefox Computer 2: Paste C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application DataHello: First let me tell you that I ALREADY did have Firefox installed on my new computer. I was just looking for how to get my Zotero info in there, all the references that I had in the other one, I wanted to bring to the new one. Now, let me say that I don't have an "Application" folder in my Documents and Settings folder, or anywhere on C. Should I look somewhere else for it, or what? Thanks. Dr. d.Whew! I did it! I didn't/couldn't do it the way you said, so I did it "the hard way." That is, I went to the Zotero program on my old laptop, clicked the little wheel that says "Actions" and chose, Export Library. A whole BUNCH of files were exported to a file on my laptop. I copied that onto an external memory chip and plugged the chip into my new PC. For some reason, I couldn't copy it, I kept getting messages while it was copying so we gave up on that. Instead, I used the chip and read all the folders, about a hundred of them probably, each referring to one of the references. Inside each folder was one file with a firefox emblem, excuse me, icon. That was the key file. I clicked on that and the reference I wanted popped up in my new computer in the Zotero section. Then, I saved it to Zotero, just as if I had taken it from the internet or something, took a "Zotero picture", and then went onto the same file. It took about an hour, and I'm sure there is a BETTER way out there somewhere, but anyway, this did work. So, thanks for being there and giving all the support along the way. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my .wab file from my old compie onto the new one, but that's on another thread somewhere, I think! Many thanks to all. Dr. D.Glad you got it working. |

Solve : Firefox plugin questions!? |
Answer» I have Vista Home Basic x64 and Firefox 3.02 for about two months. During that time, I've installed two of the more important plugins manually, Shockwave Flash and the Windows Media Player plug-in. As far as the Shockwave Flash, I've always had a question about it First, Is it the same thing as Adobe Flash?They're not the same, however I only have the Shockwave Flash Plugin here, and everything is fine. No problems at all. Quote But, in your opinion, should I at least have NPSWF32.dll in my plugins folder? Would it make any difference, performance-wise?I'm not sure, what happens if you put it there? For me, the plugins folder just has one DLL file called npnul32.dll. Quote Now do I really need all of these?If you have them disabled, you don't need them, right? If you're wondering how they got there, they were most likely installed when you installed MS Office. I know that, if you install Skype, it will also install a Skype Add-On. Quote inally, and I'm sorry this has been so long a post, I went to a site the other day, http://www.mgoblue.com/home/ and up popped a drop-down that said "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". So I clicked on "Install Missing Plugins" and up popped the "Plugin Finder Service". It said, "No suitable plugins were found" "Unknown Plugin (text/html)" This has also happened on one other site for me.I don't get this. Does the site appear complete for you, or are there things missing? (like graphics, animations or flash apps) |

Solve : Spell Check? |
Answer» I am looking for a spell check utility for IE7 that works like the MS Word Spell Check by underlining or flagging incorrectly SPELT words, preferably one that you can even right click the word to fix it. Does anyone know a spell check for firefox? The latest Firefox browser has a built in spell checker.It does indeed (v2.0 and above) You can even install more dictionaries for different languages via the extensions section on the Mozilla site. For example, I have the EN-GB dictionary instead of EN-US. I find that it does still miss some words or flag others wrongly, but you can add them to the dictionary easily.k thanks. I guess it's time to update firefox.Well, I used to use FireFox, but IE7 just works so well with Vista! I suppose I could go back, but first, before I even think about doing that, is there a FireFox addon that allows a user to use the ALT+S COMMAND on a forum board? (ALT+S posts the message without having to click "post")TESTING Alt-S. Edit: Use Alt-Shift-S instead, or change a value in about:CONFIG. See here for more information. Hope this helps.I use Tab+Enter...That's another solution. I just click Post.I will try the registry edit... it sounds worth (and my first edit of the registery)Ok... so I have no idea what I am doing... Yes, I found this change annoying too. You can either use Shift-Alt+S to submit or you can change it back to how it was using about:config Change: ui.key.chromeAccess to 5 ui.key.contentAccess to 4 (Above from : http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2406523&sid=1f6422ce9e91132320a02b622d90ca92#2406523 )In Mozilla Firefox, type about:config in the address bar and press enter. You can then change any values you wish, but be careful as they can have ill effects. In effect, it is like the Windows Registry, but only affecting Firefox. By the way, make sure you read the whole page linked to, there is quite a bit of useful information there that you may want to consider before changing anything. Hope this helps.And now, the final test! Pressing ALT+S ... if you see this, it worked |

Solve : How can i Restrict the Sites ?? |
Answer» Hi, Im using Windows XP... In my User using Unwanted Sites and Downloading Images.. so the Viruse are Spreading... How can i Restrict the Particular Sites.. like (Yahoo.com,gmail... etc), So if any Option is there... help Me...goto run and type and paste notepad C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in, click ok once you are viewing the hostsfile in notepad, you can restrict access to a website by adding another line, it will look something like this #This is your hosts file #balbababalbaba #balblablalba #blablablaba #blabla 0.0.0.0 www.badwebsite.com 0.0.0.0 badwebsite.com with 0.0.0.0 www.badwebsite.com , all connections to www.badwebsite.com instead go to localhost "0.0.0.0" its the same as typing 127.0.0.1 badwebsite.com remember that webpages like live.com , have something infront of them so 0.0.0.0 www.live.com wont work, you would instead have to use 0.0.0.0 login.live.com you could also use a different page for example , adding the line 64.29.221.104 www.google.com would send you to lego.com everytime you tryed to go to google.comYea, thats pretty much it, just to add to it- You might have to go to "tools"-->"Folder options"-->"view" and check the box(circle) that says "Show hiden files and folders". And when you open the "hosts" file, it might look a little something like this: Code: [Select]# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a SAMPLE HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column FOLLOWED by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # ADDITIONALLY, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 X.acme.com # x CLIENT host Then you just change it like this: Code: [Select]# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 0.0.0.0 www.yahoo.com 0.0.0.0 yahoo.com ETC. But also- one more thing- before you open it to edit it, you must go to file properties and uncheck the box "read only". Then you can edit it and save it without trouble. And just to be on the safe side, once you've saved it, recheck the "read only" box in file properties. Ps I know diablo already covered alot of this, but I just thought I should give a few pointers for the "non-computer-smart-peaople"........... A Good Explanation of the Hosts File and How to Use ItYea, read through that and then go over my thread and diablo's |

Solve : Searching for keyword spider on google? |
Answer» Hi and thanks for taking a look at my question. To learn how to Google, Clock Here. That's not what the OP is asking. I seem to recall something like this, although I may be thinking of some webmaster tools showing how people found my website, which is more in line with the PageRank stuff you found. It's POSSIBLE that it was something Google used to offer and no longer do, it's equally possible it was another search engine entirely. Sorry I can't be of much help, but if anything else occurs to me I'll post back - as I say, I seem to recall something similar.Was it this?: https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEASQuote from: soybean on June 06, 2013, 06:06:15 PM Was it this?: https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS For my part, it could well have been - it was a few years ago so it would've been when I was dealing with Google Webmaster tools and AdSense.Thanks Geek-9pm I hope you were just having a shot at me with that. But the graphics were great. I wish I KNEW how to make things like that happen. Thanks Calum, I think your on the money. The tool was a helper to let you know about your keyword/s. It gave a main circle with your keyword, then around it they gave several circles and each circle would have its own subdirectory of keyword suggestions again with lines connecting to another group of keyword circles with similar words. Misspelt words sometimes would also appear occasionally. After three or so you were so far away from the word you started with. The bigger the writing inside the circle the more popular the word or the more that word was searched for (and I'm pretty certain it was google). Thanks too for your suggestion soybean. That is mainly for pay per click keywords. I think that is mainly for advertisers that want to know words that will maximize their return by choosing a more popular word that people will search for, more often. Of course, like all computer related stuff, only 2 years ago is a lifetime of changes. Apparently my mobile phone now has more computing power than the the Space ship Columbia. Really,I think you can find the answer somewhere on Google. Look at this: http://www.webpronews.com/google-circles-search-results-2011-09 Google Shows Circle Counts for People In Search Results ... Lately, Google has been placing a lot of emphasis on the IMPORTANCE of who you are on the web. That’s why they want you to use your real name on Google+ (or more broadly, your Google Profile). This thinking certainly applies to search. This year, Google introduced authorship markup, which helps Google associate various content from a person with that person in search results, and ultimately gets that person’s profile prominence in Google search results. If you ever see a little image of a person off to the side of a search result, which is clickable (leading to that person’s profile), this is likely what you’re seeing. ... Is that it?Great links Geek-9pm thanks for that. I watched the videos there and they really explain the new google, trying to link to people now. ( I want to remain anonymous though.hehehe ). I went through a few older drives looking for the links that I used to use back then and the one link I was most positive was the one, now gets redirected to adwords, as linked by soybean. As I said, it was a couple of years ago I used it, so it seems as with everything else, it has been replaced with a new updated model. Adwords pages now show on the right hand side a column with related terms and a counter that has "The number 100 represents the peak search interest" for related terms, instead of 254,978 searches for this word. Lets say, search for "dishwasher" @ 100 then the sub menu is now 90, 80, 60, so on. Clicking on related terms gives me, "Best dishwasher" or "Bosch dishwasher" etc., clicking on one of those, takes me to that search term. So it seems they have taken out the pretty coloured circles and replaced it with a flat line graph that I can hover over to find how many searches were for that term. The more I use adwords, the more I am committed to that being what I used to use. ( not as pretty but functional I suppose). Soybean seems to have it in gold on this one. Thanks for your input everyone. ImnoGuru. In another direction, one web SIRE offers an Infographic Google Guide. Iinfographic ? What sis Infographic ? Lots of graphics, little content. For people that like comic books. http://www.howtogeek.com/98698/improve-your-google-search-skills-infographic/ Hey, not bad Geek-9pm. Guess I'm just a visual kind of guy. I found some other stuff too while I was there. About a multiple antivirus scanning site here I tried a file to scan, that was zipped and it came back 46 out of 46. OK. Pretty cool actually. I wonder if it can do a full check on my hard drive? |

I am encountering a weird issue with the latest version of avant browser. when I try to open it, I am getting an error message "avant browser has stopped working" and then I need to close the program. it worked just fine until now. I tried to reinstall the browser, but no POSITIVE results. I am trying to keep my favorites which I have accumulated over the years. I hope somebody can help ! still hoping some help with issue on avant browser. I erased all previous files on my laptop, then downloaded again. still the same result: it does not open at all. help? Since avant doesn't even register on the charts of any browser usage statistics sources I've seen, I think you will have difficulty getting help with it. They are supposed to have a support forum at http://forum.avantbrowser.com/ but it's not displaying for me. Perhaps it's temporarily down for maintenance. I suggest you try it later. This Shows how to save your bookmarks over to IE...@ soybean: thank you for answeing. the forum on avant WEBSITE is down since a few days. TEMPORARY is a bit long, but I'll try again! @ patio: thank you. going there right now!@ patio: great info, but since I cannot even launch avant browser the process is not possible!WOW...even all their FORUMS are down... They should be located in User Profile/Favorites.@ patio: yep, there're down indeed! it seems that I am having some trouble to access User Profile/Favorites...You may need to turn on "show hidden files and folders" in Windows Explorer... What Win ver. is this ?@ patio: I have vista home premium forum at avant still down |

Solve : I'M SO SORRY........IE invader won't let me into IE forum!? |
Answer» SEE? When I want to open a new window, it gives me another tab. This time, it SERIOUSLY wouldn't allow me into the IE forum area. Please move my post? I have a Dell All in One with WINDOWS 7 Premium. I also have IE and Firefox. Recently, IE has TACKED on an extra browser tab to every search I aim for. It is soooo........ aggravating! Has anyone else gotten this new little add-on that doesn't show up anywhere to delete it? Well, I can delete the extra tab, but it's annoying to do it constantly. Please ADVISE me what to do with it??? Thanks, Pennie1) Does the same thing happen with other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari)? If you don't have any installed, please install one or more and try. 2) Please run full scans with BOTH your anti virus app and with MalwareBytes |

Solve : Gets stuck with "1 item remaining" when switching web sites? |
Answer» Whenever I switch to a new web site, it GETS stuck with "1 item remaining". In the left BOTTOM corner it will countdown as it opens all the components of that web page screen, and it shows "__ ITEMS remaining" and when it gets to "0" you can then work with the page, but not until it gets to 0. SOMETIME it just takes a long time for the last "1" to open and sometimes it gets stuck on "1" and never changes to 0. Why? How do I fix this? |

Solve : What have I done Now?? |
Answer» Hello and thank you for looking at my problem. You've been here long enough to know that "What have I done Now?" is not an appropriate topic title. Give your threads a subject related to your problem and you'll get more and better help.Thank you Allan for your reply, and I AGREE with you. It was a matter of frustration after curing a problem, but what do I title something like this? I cured the other problem but this seems at best, to be a display issue? But not a Windows display issue, maybe a Firefox issue? (There is after all only one site in contention, all other sites seem to be OK) Is there a way that I can reset the (maybe) display, back to a default setting? I tried a system restore, after I deleted websites that I was not familiar with, in "Options" "Allowed sites, Pop ups" but that didn't do it? It seems that deleting the sites I wasn't familiar with, was the cause of this. ( At the End of the day I got rid of Babylon problem) hahahaha. Quote from: PATIO on May 17, 2013, 01:02:08 PM We don't suggest Registry scanner/cleaners here...for obvious reasons. Yes I agree there too patio, Every time I go somewhere these days there is an ad for "fix you computer" Blah blah blah & you know they will be crap. Quote from: waltzcar on May 17, 2013, 10:56:38 AM I would try a trusted antivirus scan. If it comes up clean, a registry repair might fix the problem. Again, be sure it is a trusted program that you download. Good info waltzcar, but How do I TRUST in one, unless it is either recommended or I bite the bullet and give it a go untested? Hey and just on a side note what's with the underlined bits through "any" post and when you hover over them I am FACED with some sort of ad to whiten my teeth, win an IPad, answer these QUESTIONS and claim an IPhone 5, or play "Wintingo". Do you guys get money just because I hover over the link?, and how do I get some of this action? My bank balance could use a increase in activity on the the plus side.. Thank you ImnoGuru. |

Solve : I deleted bookmarks in firefox, how do I get it back?? |
Answer» I deleted bookmarks in firefox, how do I get it back?How did you delete them ? ? How did you delete them ? ? Using older ver of Firefox here, and below the profiles dir I have a dir named bookmarkbackups. In it are 5 files. bookmarks-2008-04-04.html through bookmarks-2008-04-08.html I think this is automatic behavior of Firefox. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks.bak http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks (I see some comments about Firefox 3 here) I hope this helps. export your bookmarks now and then to prevent yourself from losing the bookmarks permanently. Lost your precious bookmarked pages huh? Now check this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks. Hopefully you can recover what you lost. I sometimes export bookmark and import to internet explorer. That way, if all is lost, internet explorer is a temporary firefox until the REAL thing gets fixed for me. If you delete bookmarks can you still retrieve them?I just right clicked on bookmarks and hit delete, but i was trying to delete something else. I'm sure my bookmarks would still be there.Quote from: justinb003 on April 09, 2008, 12:59:12 PM I just right clicked on bookmarks and hit delete, ... Have you checked the Recycle Bin? See your bookmarks file in there? Quote from: WillyW on April 08, 2008, 12:55:29 PM Quote from: patio on April 08, 2008, 07:49:36 AMHow did you delete them ? ? These must be backups you created...i don't think it is normal Firefox behaviour. I show none in mine...I've got a folder called bookmarkbackups as well with 5 backups of bookmarks.html, and I haven't created it or the files myself. From http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks Quote In Firefox 1.5 and above, five daily bookmark backup files are saved in the bookmarkbackups folder, located in the Firefox profile folder. You must recover one of these five backups before they are overwritten by newer versions.Quote from: patio on April 09, 2008, 02:16:14 PM ... Nope. And they automatically rotate off as a new one is created each day. Quote ...i don't think it is normal Firefox behaviour. I think it is. Check those Mozilla Knowledge Base articles that I posted links for. Quote I show none in mine... If it is possible to shut off the function.... I don't know. And I was wondering if it might not be included in the latest version, which I assume you are using. But according to Deerpark's post/quote, it is. hmm... don't know what to say... as to why yours is not creating them. This is interesting. Just checked and in Tools/Options i don't see anything for AUTOMATED backup of bookmarks. Bit i'm not running ver 1.5. I'm not concerned about it as i run MozBack regular like...Quote from: patio on April 10, 2008, 10:00:25 AM Just checked and in Tools/Options i don't see anything for automated backup of bookmarks. Bit i'm not running ver 1.5. You're probably in the "and above" category. Quote I'm not concerned about it as i run MozBack regular like... It is just very curious that yours is not making the five automatic backups of that file. Side NOTE: I use SyncBack to make a back up copy to another drive. With Firefox making the automatic five backups, with different file names, it is a bit of a pain in the *censored*. As time goes by, I'd have a LOT of bookmark files saved by Syncback. 365 a year. Hey... WAIT.... IDEA!! I use SyncBack, not MozBack. You are just the opposite. MozBack is designed to work with Firefox. What are the chances that MozBack is handling this for you? in that MozBack, after it makes a backup copy for you, erases the extra copies made by Firefox? Perhaps as a way to prevent what I'm experiencing.... having to manually get rid of the extra copies. What do you think? You may be on to something...on a side note i also use SyncBack as well but only manually.....Probably in my Top Ten list of best Freeware ! |
