  • Enter about: config in the address bar and press on enter
  • Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  • Right click somewhere in the list and select "new > String.
  • The name of the type in browser.cache.disk.parent_directory preference
  • For value, type the path to which you want to store the cache
  • Then locate the browser.cache.disk.enable preferably, it must be set to true, if it is not, double-click on it to edit its value

    Is there a setting to return to the 3.6 Cache Directory structure?

    I feel no questions slowing down access to the Disk Cache, and I liked the unique directory structure.

    N ° this new structure was created to allow more and more large files to be cached, and to overcome the limits of the cache that is used in older versions of Firefox.

  • How to shorten a movie taken with an iPhone?

    I have a film taken with an iPhone.  The film is 8 GB which is too large to burn it to a DVD.  How to shorten the movie in two parts each about 4 GB so I can burn it to a DVD?

    I'm not sure of the iOS, but, in general, you will need a film editing app such as:

    http://www.Apple.com/iOS/iMovie/

    This allows you to change/improve/part, but you still need to get it on your computer and it will take an app to burn to DVD. The new iMovie for Mac OS has a lot of stock options, but not an option of engraving. Roxio Toast done. So, in order to burn it to a DVD, you will need a computer, a burning application and a DVD reader/writer.

    Read here:

    • You can move the rental between devices as many times as you like during the rental period. However, the film can only be played on a device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device, and you have to look on this device.

    You can not!  iTunes movies are DRM protected and can only be read

    through iTunes on a computer authorized Apple ID or an iDevice.

    This is somewhat true for any service of films and is part of licensing

    agreements with movie studios.

    I'm sorry.

    However, you can get some kind of cable adapter for your computer or your iDevice

    (depends on what you want to use and what your connection to) and connect it to the

    TV and reading through them.

    How can I find movies in the original language? Ex Prince of Persia? I found it only in Italian. I already change my area in settings. TKS.

    The audio tracks or subtitles having a particular movie in the Bank of a country is defined by the holder of the rights to the film for this country - the audio options and subtitle must be listed on the page of description of the film in the store.

    If a movie is not available in your country in the language you want, then you can try to contact the rights holder and request that they give to Apple a license corresponding to your country (and perhaps also the request via Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html)

  • Photo constantly order of photos in a slideshow changes no matter how many times the movements of the user the photo back to the good look at an order. Example: Bathroom Plans eventually grouped with pictures of kitchen! I have found no way to stop this o

    Apple Photo 1.3 serious problems - how can I SOLVE all these problems?

    (1) breaks down without rhyme or reason no matter where I am in the workflow.

    (2) pictures will not be Shut Down Every Time, even after several days of waiting.

    (3) aPhoto frequently badly chooses picture in the EDIT picture option, I get a picture different than the one I clicked on which is on a 100 pictures in a row.

    (4) picture constantly order of photos in a slideshow changes no matter how many times the movements of the end user the photo back to the good look at an order. Example: Bathroom Plans eventually grouped with pictures of kitchen! I have found no way to stop this weird behavior! Is there a way to stop this? If I drag the photo again some 7 additional photos in the slide show, after a minute or less, he appears again to where it was it not. !@#$%$#

    (5) If you make any CHANGES to a photo, it often changes the appearance of your complete slideshow of this picture with impatience. So you lose all this not work fix your configuration of the slide show. Even changing the order of photos once more that I had put back where they should be. !@#$$#@

    (6) photo identifies often shades of lamps and long door handles as the faces of the people.

    (7) photo made bad decisions when it comes to brightness, contrast and colors effortlessly around other than to use other software, where as with iPhoto there was a lot of workarounds. I could continue, but will save one who might be reading of this.

    I am up to date on all updates for my Mac. If anyone have REAL answers so please spilling the beans, but according to me, it's the only truth is that Apple has rolled out a product inferrer to replace an exceptional product, called iPhoto, which does not work on my new iMac computer 5K of 27 ".   If I knew what I would have chosen another computer that I use iPhoto to prepare more of fifty to sixty thousand photos in a given year and I use iPhoto to make hundreds of slideshows from it.  Are there plugins for Photo 1.3? I ask because I see where there could be Add-ons, but I can't find.

    Apple has taken a serious decision by turning his back to iPhoto and tens of millions of loyal users.

    Thanks in advance to anyone brave enough to tackle this job.
