  • Prevent opening new windows Firefox.

    I support an application that runs in Firefox on Ubuntu Linux 12.04. The computers used for this application are dedicated, not used for anything else.

    If users open another Firefox window, or through the desktop icon or ^ N Ctrl-N or file > new window and start another instance of the application, it makes a mess. So, I want to prevent new windows being opened. Also prevent the opening of new tabs, even if users are less likely to open another instance of the application in a tab.

    They do it (open multiple instances), by mistake, not unkindly.

    Remove
    File > new window
    and
    deactivation of ^ N
    would be useful. But the 2nd prevention + launch by icon, click is also required.

    Would be nice if an admin could cancel it, even from the command line Linux or by changing a config file.

    Thank you.

    Maybe consider creating an extension to intercept OpenBrowserWindow()

    Hi Robertc70810949,

    It is a digression of your technical question, but you haven't purchased two separate subscriptions for creative cloud? You are probably aware of this, but just in case you're not, a single Plan of creative photography cloud allows installation and activation on two computers. These computers can be two Macs, two windows, or one of each. See Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ for more information. Of course, you can have another reason to buy multiple subscriptions, but I wanted to clarify in case you can save yourself a little money.

    Kind regards

  • How to get the Mac Applications to open in Windows XP

    Hello

    With the help of Fusion 2.0.6 with Windows XP on Snow Leopard.  According to me, it is possible the help of guides to have XP open files for applications resident on Mac OS X.  I don't seem to be able to get this working.  So, is it possible to get a PDF in Adobe Reader file to open automatically on the side of the XP of the Reader application available on the transition from Mac?  I need to do with Office 2008 files as well as on the Mac side, to open on XP.

    I have file sharing set up on Mac and XP and also mirroring.  Do I just need to know if this is possible, and how is this best achieved?  I don't want to install Adobe Reader on Windows when it is already on OS X, in the same way Google earth and a few other things.  I'm running in Unity mode in the case that affects anything.

    Suggestions on how to fix would be very appreciated.  If it is not possible to do it now, then it is likely to be available in version 3?  Thank you!

    Well it's possible with Fusion 2.x as it was introduced with Fusion 2.

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

  • Save PowerPoint (for Mac) - as "pptx" opens in Keynote?

    I looked online about how to define a PowerPoint (for Mac) (2007) to open as a slide show automatically as soon as the opening. They have all said change or save as a file extension of "pptx" to "ppsx", and it will automatically open as a slide show. However, after doing this and reopening it opens in Keynote. The file is under the heading "Keynote" in the Finder. What is going on? How can I configure Powerpoint automatically opens on the slideshow when I send an email to others? Thank you.

    Right-click on a .ppsx file and choose read information. Find the menu drop-down 'Open with' in the information window and change it to PowerPoint. Press everything change.

  • HP Z400: Rest default config, now cannot open windows!

    Hello

    I did a reset of my system BIOS by resseting the 'default' Config in the file section of my computer.

    When I restarted my PC is really slow to open Windows 7, when prompted I did the Ctrl + Alt + Delete, really takes a lot of time to get password to connect to...

    After logging into the PC behaves as if its going to open Windows 7, but does not. Instead, I have the blue wheel type icon that lights up for a long time before the screen turns black. Althouth it is black I can still see the pointer, and it moves on the screen, but can't do anything else.

    I then did a restore to an earlier date... same problem.

    I can't get into windows in safe mode.

    What can I do now?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    First enter boot hit "safe mode with command prompt.

    Once inside the command-line type sfc/scannow and press enter

    It will take some time to analyze...  Once the completed scan glance to see if Windows detects any violation in Windows and has corrected all the errors found.  Try and normal restart and see if Windows can start successfully.  If Windows does not start correctly restart in "Safe Mode with command prompt" again...  Next type chkdsk /r and press to enter. You will then need to restart for a disk check run > This will take a while, but can fix all the errors on the disc that may prevent Windows from starting correctly.  Windows once complete will automatically restart and try a startup.

    NB: between the c and / there is a space NB: also a space between the k and /.

    I would like to know how it goes
