Difference between extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault and extensions.update.enabled

What exactly is the difference between these options? I did some tests but am not 100% sure. Currently I guess extensions.update.enabled just looking for new versions of addons, but it does not install them while extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault installs only addons if Firefox has already found a new version of them.

In this case affecting only extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault to false will disable automatic installation of addons and affecting only extensions.update.enabled to false will disable the automatic search for new addons which also implicitly disables the automatic installation of addons.

If my hypothesis is correct affecting false to only extensions.update.enabled would be sufficient to turn off any communication to a server of the addon.

Your hypothesis seems to be confirmed in this thread of Bugzilla 2011 (Please do not post in the thread, it's for developers Mozilla only) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701987

    Hello

    These two tools are Toshiba one informs you of the new driver updates available on the Toshiba driver page.

    AFAIK Tempro is slightly older than the gas station.
    In addition the gas station seems to provide a bit more options and features like tool Tempro.

  • The difference between the admin directory and directory patch?

    What is the difference between $< PRODUCT_TOP >/admin/sql and $< PRODUCT_TOP > / 115/patch/sql

    I looked at a number of packages on my system, and they seem to be constructed from its location *.pls in my $< PRODUCT_TOP > / patch/115/directory sql

    However it is normally also have a file with the same name in $< PRODUCT_TOP >/admin/sql, but it generally has a different version number (in my case, I found some files in it that have a version number that is greater than what is in the directory of 115/patch/sql)

    Thank you

    My understanding is that the product admin directory using automatic upgrade as part of an upgrade?

    Fix.

    Q. Since Auto Upgrade is involved, I guess that means say 11i upgrade for R12 (what was once a migration) rather than what would be a Pack of updates to version (which is formerly a Maintenance release) for example 11.5.10.2?

    I would say that it is applicable to all the patches that update APPL_TOP, so it applies to the outermost Regions and the Maintenance Pack patches but not an 11i to R12 as a new APPL_TOP upgrade is created in this case (unless you are referring to the new APPL_TOP).

    Q. the patch product_top directory holds transferred files in to adpatch?

    Yes.

    If he holds only the latest version provided by the various patches that have been applied to this top product?

    Yes.

    Q: why would the product_top directory admin hold files with version numbers higher than that which is in the product_top patch?

    Can you give an example for this?

    Thank you

  • Difference between an Oracle database and Oracle SID

    Hello

    Can someone please differeniate what exactly is the difference between an Oracle SID and a new Oracle database.
    We just need to create another instance of an application (so we need another copy of all tables).

    So either we can:

    1. new database SID created or

    2. new user created in the existing schema or

    3. the new database provided

    What is the best approach?

    Hello

     New database SID created or
    

    Which is the equivalent of creating a new database in your case.

    New user created in existing schema or
    

    You mean new schema (user) created in the existing database. I assumed that this is because you do not want both asks to update the same copy of the table, but copy different.

    3. New database provided
    

    Depends of your you if you want to create a new database or a new scheme to get another copy of the table.

    A few points that I take in mind
    (1) if I have a production database and I need to create a new set of control panels, or any other end, I would create a new database.
    (2) if I have a test database and I need to create a new set of tables of control or any other purpose, if possible I would create a new schema of the existing database.
    (3) if I use less resources(hardware/memory), I would proffer a new schema of the existing database.
    (4) if I'm running not less resources and I want to keep these two entirely different copies, then for security reasons I would create a new database.

  • What is the difference between the HX - 90v and HX - 80 coming cameras?

    What is the difference between the HX - 90v and HX - 80 coming cameras?

    Thank you!

    I'd say it's supposed to be a fill, a little brother to the HX90v

    It removes the control ring and the GPS, and I think the rest is the same.

    It is for those who want the HX90v but the price is a bit steep for the compact range, and they need not necessarily GPS or the ring of command, just a camera that works.
    This kind of thing, at least to my knowledge.

  • Difference between the cDAQ-9174 and cDAQ-9178

    I have several cRIO-9081.  Each cRIO-9081 running NOR-DAQmx 15.5.  On four of the cRIO-9018 we show you cDAQ - 9178 with 8 modules.  Everything just worked.  On the fifth cRIO-9018, we tried to connect a cDAQ-9174.  The aircraft appeared in the Windows Device Manager and MAX, but MAX has indicated that the aircraft was missing (error-88705) and that Windows can't find a driver for the instrument.

    We then plugged a cDAQ-9178 in the fifth cRIO and everything just worked.

    What is the difference between a cDAQ-9174 and cDAQ-9178 other than the number of the module support?

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    It seems it could be a driver problem! What DAQmx version you have installed on two computers? Reinstall the latest version may be worth it because it looks like there may be corruption. You can find the latest version here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-15.5/5901/en/

    You can manually associate the device driver, here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5B80CAAA64413B4C86256C5E0000C1A7

    There are modules connected to the cDAQ chassis?

    Also, sometimes, this can happen if you do not restart your computer after the installation of the NOR-DAQmx driver. Restart your computer after the driver installation will allow you to reserve the device successfully. Here are a few others not to try:

    • Check the charger to device OR to see if it is running

    • Reset the service OR charger

    • Reset the MAX Configuration database

    • The system power cycle

  • What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and controlling the display of Simulator

    I want to create a simulation of 3D on the front panel, and I see that we can use a 3D image control or a display of Simulator control. It seems that each of them can be used at the same position. What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and display of Simulator?

    Hi sfh1,

    You are right, I found examples of Robotics that use 3D photo control and display Simulator control to display a scene 3D on the front panel. After further research, it seems that control the display of Simulator adds additional features compared to the 3D picture control. The control displays Simulator allows the user to right-click control during execution and change the background color, draw fashion, draw contact, view the ID of robot, display sensor data, suspension of service Simulator and reset service Simulator.

    More in depth on these options and the display of control Simulator can be found here:

  • What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish

    I've been curious.

    What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish?

    Hi Jeff17866. The difference between these two services are the location, accessibility and share-ability of the recorded images. Snapfish is a photo on the web edition and sharing and belonged to printing HP service. You upload your images on the Snapfish site and share with other sites (Facebook, Flickr, etc) by selecting the appropriate options. The images are then stored on the cloud, and you will be able to access it from any device with Internet access. So, if you want to easily share your photos with your friends and family around the country, Snapfish is a great tool to do. HP Photo Creations is a photo editing software that you download to your desktop. You can edit your photos and order prints just as with Snapfish, but all pictures remain on your hard drive. They can be shared by downloading files on the sites you want the images appear, but you are not able to access it on other devices. -Chauntain
