Does anyone know why unarchiving palemoon.res (like omni.ja and using the Mac terminal) would now have to be done from an admin account and not a standard account with MacOS Monterey? Up until and including Sierra, I could unarchive omni.ja for SeaMonkey and Thunderbird from my standard...

Slimjet will not accept extensions that have been added from a .crx installer packed by Slimjet itself. It seems that the extension has to be installed or packed from chrome.google.com/webstore. What is the difference? Is there some flag that is set somewhere in the profile that tells the...

Is there any Safari extension or add-on of any kind that can dim down white backgrounds on web pages? They bother my eyes and I have never managed to find such a thing for Safari. I have had to create a content stylesheet to re-theme all pages, and that does not always work well. Why is it...

In Mac OS Sierra, the icons in the Finder sidebar with just the normal view are light sepia. If one saves a file, the cutdown version of the Finder window shows grey icons in the sidebar. I know exactly where the sepia ones are, but the grey ones are not in the same place. Where are the grey...

Using Mac OS El Capitan, I changed some system folder icons in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources to full-colour folder images. For instance, I changed ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns to put a full-colour image on it rather than a silhouette. These images do not...

Why is it that synchronizing bookmarks is all-or-nothing? All sites do not work equally well with all browsers or all devices. Bookmarklets certainly do not work equally well with different browsers with different rendering engines. It would be much more useful if one could specify exactly what...

Is there any way to prevent HTML5 from automatically playing with SeaMonkey using a browser setting in about:config? Flashblock is not working well with YouTube, and its HTML5 videos start playing as soon as the page loads.

Why does sync have to be all-or-nothing? Why is it not possible to synchronize some bookmark folders and not others? Why can it not be limited to going one way but not the other?

Is it possible to sync more than one directory of photos into the iPod Photo Library? Is the only way to delete pictures in the Photo Library to sync with an empty directory? What criterion is used to determine in what order the pictures will be arranged in the Photo Library? They are not...

I am unable to get Safari 4.1.3 running on Mac OS 10.4.11 to open secure pages. It just gives an error message. 'Safari can’t open the page "https://<address of page>” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.' OR 'Your browser sent a request that this...

In my standard account, the finder list view is striped, with alternate lines being white and light grey. In my admin account, that view has a solid white background. How did that happen? How would I get the Finder to look the same in the admin account as in the standard account?
