When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?
I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.
I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.
In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click on the icon my computer, choose Properties, this little window is info on your operating system.

Just changed Safari on my imac. When you use the search menu in safari, I had the opportunity to "find in this page" which has been an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific words/phrases. Is it possible to have this feature using firefox?
I think that Safari has the same keyboard shortcut in Firefox 'cmd + F' on a Mac or a 'Ctrl + F' on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner to find. There are more likely to be next and previous differences in keyboard shortcuts, but continuing in the search bar at the bottom no matter what browser you use. It is an 'X' to reject the search bar. In Windows, the "Esc" key will reject the bar if you are in the search text entry box.
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Keyboard shortcuts | How | Help Firefox, Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
- Firefox and other shortcuts of the browser (comparison chart), more substantial, but is oriented Windows users with a few guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

I a s 6 more and when using the phone, if my face touches the screen it clicks on the logout button and the phone hangs up the call. Is it possible to prevent this without holding the phone away from my face when calling?
iPhones have a proximity sensor which is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when you hold it in your face. If this is not the case you can take the phone and have it checked.

Update Windows automatically restarts the computer. I would like to disable this feature. I'm running a machine business with complex projects requiring a configuration long and delicate. The details below:
Type of operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate
Problem: Status of the project lost after auto restart during the night
Require: A method of disabling automatic restart after an automatic update is happening.
Tried: I already tried looking in the registry for an appropriate key change, but no have been found appropriate.Aelryn,
You can configure Windows update to meet your needs, for example, download the update and then let me choose when to install the same. This way you always get the automatic updates but you chose when and where and how to install updates at a time that is convenient.Then I suggest to change the Automatic Updates settings to meet the needs of PAHO.
Choice, you can turn off to THE (not recommended), you can adjust to download updates only and allow you to install them at a convenient time, you can adjust information only, or you can leave to do what he likes.
If you update, you must restart sometime in the case otherwise you are not protected and you might as well do not update at all. Everything is a matter of choice. One size does not fit all, so a choice can be made. I have updates informed me only, then I decide what, when and how to do to install the updates. It's my choice.

How to increase or decrease the effect of an adjustment brush in Lightroom CC? In Lightroom 5, I could hover over the PIN and drag the two-way arrow left or right. This feature seems to have disappeared in the CC version.
I'll answer one of your three messages that asked this question. If possible, please remove the other two.
Hover and dragging moves the axis as it should. The cursor turns into a hand to indicate the area brushed, it moves.
Hover over the pin code, press the Alt/Opt key and drag left and right and the effect will become less and more. The cursor turns into a two-headed arrow to indicate that the function of the drag has changed. If you are not hovering over a pin code and press the Alt/Opt, then the cursor turns into a brush to erase to remove the adjustment every time you paint.

It closed just everything. All the all windows and tabs at the bottom which is reduced to the minimum. Go to the desktop as I have set out.
Hello Ron.
Those who are called accidents or CTDs (clear for desktop). There are several possible causes for this:
- defective extensions: start Firefox in safe mode to disable all extensions and see if the problems percist. If they are not, try to disable your extensions, one at a time, to see that it is that you difficulties.
- defective plugins: disable all plugins that you don't need. The normal user only get a PDF, a plugin, Java, Shockwave and Flash plugin.
- the anti-virus settings or firewall: in theory, it is possible that some antivirus or firewall are set in a way that Firefox crash in certain circumstances. NOT browse the web without an antivirus and firewall running and up to date, but make sure they are set to not impede the use of Firefox.

When you delete a box in question it will not disappear, but a copy goes to the trash, what's the problem?
You have corruption of dbx files.
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox (if you can) and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
Compact all folders as described below.
To avoid this in the future:
Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
