Firefox uses the windows HOSTS file?

When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, the HOSTS file is used to block unwanted sites to load. Firefox checks this file before loading these sites?

Yes, I use the hosts file and it works with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

  • Firefox uses the page host internet explorer after restarting the PC, even if I change again, it passes every time

    I use a laptop for my work. I have internet explore what is necessary for our things work related and internet intranet explore uses the intranet homepage of our work. I also use firefox and want to use a different home page (IE Bing, google, whatever...). So things work related I use IE, for web browsing of non-working, I use firefox. Recently whenever I reboot my PC and launch firefox, firefox uses my Explorer (working on the intranet) home page internet. I then easily reset on my preference (bing.com) and as long as the PC is on, if I close and Open firefox it keeps bing.com as my home page. I could do this 20 x and it will keep the bing.com homepage. However when I shut down and restart the PC, firefox goes back to the use of the IE homepage (on the intranet of the work). Is there a permanent way to fix this. Our IT Department has been no help. Started a week before what is happening they upgraded our computers to internet explore 11. I tried to reset Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

    Hi hunted, something is change or replace your prefs.js file.

    Maybe you can thwart it by creating a user.js file. This file is read at startup of Firefox and replace prefs.js. Basically, it only needs a single line, if you could open prefs.js in a text editor after you have corrected to the homepage preference, use Save as to create user.js and then remove all the lines and save/close.

  • on my laptop running windows 7 more information disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons - everything I can see tabs - how do the lack of points to display

    Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?

    most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons

    When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.

    The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...

    You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

    Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.

  • How you code multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file?

    I'm trying to create multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file and I am so far unsuccessful. I want to create a hierarchy like this:

    From the main screen of BB have a page called "SAP systems". When I select this page, do display sub-pages for the 'Production', 'Test', etc. If I choose the Test, it displays the sub-pages for each test SID T00, T01, T02, etc., and then select the SID to see the info on the database server and application server.

    (high level BB of the screen)

    SAP systems

    Select SAP systems and get a subpage that displays

    Production systems

    Test systems

    Select one of these subpages, and it will display a different set of subpages, one for each SID (for example, T00, T01, etc.). For example, to select the test systems and poster of the subpages for

    T00

    T01

    T02

    Select one of these subpages, and then you get information about the database servers and servers of applications for this SID.

    I found a link on the basis of knowledge of quest and the screens of the sample have been what I was looking for, but the file bb-hosts that they did not have their screens.

    Thank you

    You can create an additional level of exploration down by setting up areas of the screen. Doing will change the default URL to your BBDISPLAY. To do this:

    1. change $BBHOME/etc/bbdef-server.sh (%BBHOME%\etc\bbdef.cfg on Windows).

    2 set BBCURRDISP = 'something'

    3. change your bb-hosts (bb - hosts.cfg on Windows) file and use the 'view' token to create the third level of exploration down that you are looking for, something like:

    # Your bb-hosts file

  • The folder list is not the WIndows shortcut files

    Hello

    Why the 'Folder list' vi does not have the Windows shortcut files? Short WIndows files have an extension of "*.lnk", I'm using Labview 2011 SP1 on a WIndows XP Professional computer, the shortcut files on a mapped network drive.  I can find the files of shortcut if an open one window cmd and use the dir command.

    A potential problem is that you might be looking at the wrong place. A shortcut to a file appears in the list of files, and a shortcut to a directory appears in the list of directories. However (at least LV2011) shortcuts to directories that don't exist - as a disconnected network drive - as highlighted in the list of files.

  • Cannot reinstall Windows Vista because the Windows.old file is corrupted.

    I hope someone can help! I'm about to pull out my hair! :)

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720, under Windows Vista Home Premium, with 3 GB of ram. SP2

    I had problems with error messages

    Here are some of the messages I was getting.

    "Dell Quickset has stopped working"

    "Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped working"

    "The user profile service has stopped working".

    "Windows Update has stopped working"

    There were a couple more but I do not remember. They are all gave me the ability to check online for a solution I have chosen and the message would go for a while, but not forever.

    I'm tired of dealing with him, so I used my Dell disk to reinstall Vista. I did not choose the repair option first. I chose to do a clean install. When I got to the last step where it says "Complete the Installation", it gave me an error message telling me that the "Windows.old" file is corrupted. I do not have wright the rest of the information down, but he told me to run the check disk utility. (I think it has been shown as chkdsk). I clicked 'OK' and the screen went black and stayed like that for an hour. I turned off the computer and repeat all the steps but always goes to the black screen and stops. I tried to use the fix and it found a problem immediately and that fixed it, but after reboot, same thing. Yesterday I ran again the repair option, and it still works today. All night and nothing. She is still ongoing as I type this message. My question is how to run disk utility to check without an operating system installed? Use the "Diagnostic" option when I boot the disk from Dell? Any ideas on how I can get reinstalled Vista?

    Boot from the Dell cd and run diagnostics

    No, Windows 7 and Windows 10 require unique product keys and their respective installation files.

    Windows 10 is available as a digital download:

    Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
