is it possible to install FF outside the folder of the windows user?
My work pc (windows 7) has a roaming profile. I'm local admin. The maximum size of my user account profile is only 100 MB. The first thing I did when I got a new OS was trying to install FF. That worked well, but after a few days, my profile has exceeded the 100 mb. FF amounted to more than 50 MB of data. Mainly in the app data files hidden.
So here's my question. Is it possible to do a custom installation, with a minimum amount of data in my win7 user account?
The simplest solution would be to use Firefox Portable instead.

You can also copy the installation files on a computer with an optical drive on a USB key. But by looking at system requirements, that it does not seem that we tested Windows RT, a different flavor of Windows 8, I believe, we can have more details once Windows RT is available publicly.

If I open bookmarks and select a folder which is longer than the window of Firefox is high, the part of the list of bookmarks that falls outside the window remains on the desktop when I leave bookmarks or close the window. I then do a refresh of the desktop to get rid of the junk. Doesn't happen with IE9 MS. I use Windows 7 Home Premium on a SONY VAIO laptop. All started when I went to the VAIO in last November. A 'Show Desktop' or a refresh of the office cleaning.
Could you try to disable graphics hardware acceleration? As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems with some drivers/graphics cards.
You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
If you restart Firefox, the problem is solved?

This problem has been resolved.
The MSE has not recognized that the windows firewall was conducted.
This problem has been resolved by running McAfee software removal followed by uninstallation tool and relocation of MSE.
After reinstallation, I rebooted and the updated definitions. He reported no problems with the Windows Firewall or the absence of firewall or at risk.
I ran a full scan of MSE and we found no malware.
For others who may have the MSE/firewall problem run followed by appropriate software removal tool to uninstall and reinstallation of MSE. It takes time, but it worked.

How can I put pictures outside the window of Photoshop elements 14 work, so that I'm not obliged to work within the program window, but use my screen completely for the image?

Note that you can work with two screens and drag and drop the image to display on the other window.
I think you mean working temporarily with the window enlarged image without displaying all the tools and panels.
See:
Panels and bins in Photoshop Elements
My advice: take the time to read the above help and especially to look at ways to maximize this window if you are on Mac or Win.
Set your preferences in the Edit menu to "allow the floating windows in expert mode.
Use the "tab" on the keyboard key to hide or show your panels and tools quickly.

CS6 pipette can enjoy outside the window more?
You used to be able to choose the color of ANYTHING, including an image that may be hovering in a window of another program or anything else on the screen (that is, a color of browser button) by simply clicking on a Photoshop document with the pipette, do not release the mouse and dragging outside the window of Photoshop and hovering over anything on the screen. Now, when you scroll to the edge of the window, the window scrolls in the CS6! Ugh! I've used this for years! I tried now different function keys in order to change the behavior, and none work. They took this on Photoshop after years and years whether a function? Any suggestions on how to do it?
Thank you!
No, this behavior has not changed (and indeed you have lots of fixes on MacOS).

I'm having a little wrong to describe this problem. Whenever something is opened, whether it's a pdf file, web browser, etc., at random points in time everything I use will be deselected as if I clicked on the desktop to stop control everything that is in the window/app, when I have not clicked out of it. It is as detailed as I can do, I don't know much about computers and can find no solution in the forums. Thank you!
Hello
You have a laptop by chance? Looks like you're accidentally hit the touchpad with your finger and therefore the development of switching away without realizing it. Its similar to the problem people have when the slider appears 'magical' jump to somewhere else than where they type. If it's happening that the only real cure is to disable the Touchpad and external mouse (which is what most people do).
If it is what do you want / need for instructions to disable the touchpad? Post here with what I can do for you.
Kind regards

Crashes Firefox attempts to access the windows user profiles (maybe)
After several relocations and other attempts based on comments found in the various positions in the solutions, I'm still stuck here. Firefox installs and works ok with high permissions (run as administrator), but crashes frequently then run normally. In normal mode it still crashes when opening the 'options' dialog box on: page preferences and when you download a file. It sometimes crashes when browsing. No high mode installation happens to 90 percent and crashes, elevated installation works very well. An explanation would be that firefox doesn't have access to C:\users\ < profile >------... at the level he needs, but I was not able to find out why. IE seems to work very well, and I reset the default security settings in IE. The signing of the accident say nothing useful about the reason. I adjusted all the firewall and down the ladder. Everything worked until I got other problems requiring aggressive edits and now all but firefox works. Basic navigation in firefox is ok, and work the plugins like flash and acrobat. So I was stuck on this for about a week, limping and try things. I don't know if it's firefox specific or something systemic, but it would be good to know what is the problem, so I have an idea how to solve this problem. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thank you.
So my next move was to create a new user account. The new user has been able to use Firefox normally. Several other problems existed with the original, but not as bad as Firefox user account. In any case, with user created a new account and the old one deleted, it seems once again things are finally normal. My guess is that some elements in the account data has been deleted, by something or someone, and Firefox to access, but did not check the possibility he wasn't there.
