FireFox update erases the original settings and shoots IE settings instead
I had considered moving away from Internet Explorer and Firefox will like our default browser to the company that I am administrator for. If I place a test configuration Firefox user like I wanted and then reconfigure IE to turn it off effectively. However, a disturbing event has consider me otherwise. My test user received an update for Firefox and updating pulled all the configuration information of IE rather than preserve the existing installation of Firefox. So essentially it disabled FireFox as well. I really don't want to disable updates, but I certainly don't want to go around and re - configure each of my 140 machines every time Firefox did an update. We also run web applications must have and relys on an older version of java. Even though I know that the latest version is preferred these apps simply do not work with them. Firefox in his infinite wisdom during an update disables my old version of java break my applications. I like FireFox, but I simply don't have time to micro - manage this piece of software. He must keep all settings for the installation of the original version. Is it possible to configure Firefox to do what I want to do it during an update instead of what he wants to do. I thought the software was supposed to make our lives more easy not bogg down day support run fixing fubars FireFox. If Firefox wants an alternative to IE, then it must be a step better. The reason why I want to move from IE, it's that I don't just have time to deal with daily issues due to updates. If Firefox is an alternative browser why it relies on IE to get its parameters.

Hi rbowman there, I can understand how this topic is. Looks like you have configured Firefox on one or two computers. It also seems that you went with the normal version of Firefox. When you first configure Firefox it asks if you want to make settings, history, etcetera. In my opinion, what he does after an update too. Fear in the ordinary. If the employee a right to say yes I want that all my stuff from IE, and we know how that worked. Firefox made a version for the admin of TI. 'S called it Firefox extended support. This allows you to manage the settings and all that an admin would have to do without going to a computer. I recommend you try this. Hope that this time, he's better.

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.
How to make 'save and exit' return?
Thank you
Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
- Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning
If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:
- Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the general Panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

Restore the system to the original settings
I'm trying to restore my computer to original settings to overcome a Trojan horse that has hijacked my Internet browser. When I use the restore option, it only allows me to come back in 3 months and then tells me that the parameters are then the same as today. How to restore original system checkpoint system - for when I bought the computer in March 2003? Thank you much for the help.
Hello
If your dining options offers more restore points, then there is no chance of working with this function.
So if you want to retrieve the original settings, you must recover your system with the supplied restore CD.

I noticed a few colors in the active panel (list Asset\Site) that are not anywhere on my site (using the Site Find/entiere)
How did get in the list? Maybe, I had used with the color of an element, then I deleted this item. If so the
Refresh and reset the list of site commands in the assets Panel, does not remove it. In fact, neither the Site or list of favorites in assets provides for all
Make a right click Delete function so I can not delete this unused color. This rather reduces the value of what is supposed to
have an exact list of the colors used in the site. I use DW CC while on the subject of the active panel, can someone explain the option named "update of the original"? What is this for?
Thanks in anticipation...
On the bottom right of the components window, you should see several icons, right-most being remove it Favorites (a ribbon icon with - in front of it). Highlight color or the file is most desired in the Panel and click this icon.
I do not use the components window, but I believe that the function "Update of the Original" has something to do with the functions in DW limited image editing.

Surprise! Cannot run an update with the new assembled - and your application.
Dear forum,A few days ago Microsoft released a KB update for developers, update the runtime (from 8.0.50727.762 to 8.0.50727.4053) assemblies.
Who caused all that we have built in the last days to require these new libraries, do not perform if they did not exist.
This caused a disorder and confusion, since without notice - our QA (not to receive automatic update) and the developers who have yet to receive the update - could not run our products.Only after some frantic research, the problem has been diagnosed and corrected by providing all non-developers the new package of redistribution that contains the new revisions by the runtime assemblies.
Now, putting aside frustration, I would really like to know what is the "Microsoft suggested way" to provide information on these cases. As most of our developers receive automatic updates 'silent', there was absolutely no way to guess what was about to happen. Even our engineer of deployment has not received the redistributable InstallShield appropriate.
Please advise!Thank youGil MosesWaves Audio Ltd.It is recommended that all customers get updated to the latest version and there are several tools such as WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager that helps you manage the updates. It is also recommended in some cases you are running the update in the test environment and so that caused no problem then distribute and you could either block or allow the update using these software.
Updates are being tested before release to ensure that they work properly, but it is not possible to test all because you're a developer, you know. And when such cases happened you can contact Microsoft Support and open a support case to help solve this problem as soon as possible.
