The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Does it (or something similar) show up under the Startup tab when you run msconfig?

One of my peeves with RealPlayer was that it kept re-installing "TkBellExe" (its self-launcher) whenever I played a .rm file. It was a real nuisance (pun not intended) when I was on dial-up, because it kept interrupting what I was doing and demanding access to the internet, even when I wasn't running RealPlayer.

eta: Ooops, looks like I was too late.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

can someone tell me the difference between locking a tab in firefox and protecting a tab? I can't find the answer to this.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is that default Firefox functionality? I can't find either in my copy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hmm. that's a good question. I wonder if I have this feature from one of my extensions.

no wonder I couldn't find documentation.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hmm. I have both of those options, but I have no idea what they do.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Help help! The click wheel on my iPod has stopped working. I cannot scroll through menus or change the volume. It just started doing this on the ride home tonight.

ETA: FIXED! The reset trick worked. But still, alarming. I've never had any trouble with Candylike the iPod before.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

le nubian, what was the answer? I have the same extention and now I'm curious.

Jilli, sometimes they need a swift kick in the pants. Like a PDA they're essentially on all the time, so when it starts acting quirky the best thing is a reset. It's normal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

SA -

okay, one will keep the tab open unless you specifically close it (protect I think)

one will force links you click to open in new tabs (lock I think)

You can lock and protect (since these are two different functions which is called "freeze").
