    Firefox 2 - change download location....

    I've seen the comment "What do you want FireFox to do at this point - Read your mind?" in other posts, and I don't believe it applies here at all. What I was trying to figure out is the way to control firefox (ie preference settings) that is transparent and consistent. I would be nice if...

    Firefox 2 - change download location....

    Also, on the clean install of Firefox on the new/clean OS X (10.4.8), when I click on a .pdf link, the dialog box defaults to • "Open with: Preview (default)"

    Firefox 2 - change download location....

    I tested this on a clean install of 10.4.8, fresh Safari, and new install of Firefox without any plugins. Firefox "save to disk" will download to the location selected in the firefox prefs. Files that are opened in another application through the "Open with Choose..." option, end up going to...

    Firefox 2 - change download location....

    I have disabled all of my extensions and have seen the same behaviour on another mac. I will give it a shot through another user account..... and I might have a 10.3.9 iBook without firefox, so I can do a clean install and test it out. Check out these linked files from my website. The .doc...

    Firefox 2 - change download location....

    I see that changing the downloads folder in Safari affects the location of Firefox "Open with Choose..." downloads. If Safari is set to download file to the desktop, then "Open with Choose..." links/downloads are saved to the desktop. If Safari is set to "my internet downloads", then then...

    How is 10.2? Rate it now!

    Quartz Extreme *IS* 10.2! Just makes it fly on anything with a 16mb radeon or better. In my limited testing on a G4/400 with a rage128, I did not notice any difference in speed. But it's only $100 for a video card upgrade. On a new G4/867DP with a dual monitor setup.....32MB AGP...

    Mac os 10.2

    For our graphic design firm with 24 employees it is very costly to upgrade everyone to a G4/800 in a short time span. We currently have 5 G4/400 towers, the boss has a TiBook 500 and we just recently picked up a TiBook 667. That's only 7 out of 24 users. I recently saw a G/533 tower for $1000...

    Mac os 10.2

    Yeah, Steve Job promised that Apple would build OS X so it could run on the original iMac (with it's 32mb of ram-hehe). Well if that's true, Steve should use that same iMac (I will even give him 384Mb of ram) with X for a month as his main machine at Apple headquarters. I think we would have ati...

    [HOWTO] - Empty the trash of stubborn items

    yes, BATCHmod is a great work around, much better than the terminal solution we used originally.....now when will Apple realize that we need to empty to the trash ; ) As I put down Apple for such a glaring oversight even one year after the release of X, I must applaud the Mac and Unix...

    [HOWTO] - Empty the trash of stubborn items

    This thread has been really helpful. Someone in my office ran into this issue and it caused a lot of problems. Going into the terminal helped him dump 4GB from the trash. But why should this happen at all? It's a really serious problem if a user has to use the terminal and scripts to empty...

    Lombard PowerBooks and OS X

    Hey, I put X on a 400Mhz Lombard with 384MB and it is very, very sluggish. I can barely even use iPhoto. Moving around the finder is painful. After a while it starts to feel okay, but then I reboot into 9 and realize how slow X really is. At the office we also have X on a Beige...

    We need more Mhz NOW, Why didn't apple...... .....Make the 667 and 733 G4 Macs with Dual processor options now. I know that the chips are in short supply (bad motorola, bad motorola).
