'Lineage'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
can someone tell me the difference between locking a tab in firefox and protecting a tab? I can't find the answer to this.
okay, so no one knows the answer? yikes. I'm done for.
Is that default Firefox functionality? I can't find either in my copy.
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.
Hmm. I have both of those options, but I have no idea what they do.
a ha! it was for one of my extensions: tab mix plus. took me into the bowels of a forum to find out what the feature did. now I know.
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.
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.
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").
