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!
t sounds like something in the install process itself is breaking, not connected to Firefox directly.
Technically the install/uninstall process on a Mac is
1. download disk image
2. Expand disk image
3. drag firefox to the extension folder.
To uninstall, drag Firefox to the trash.
JZ, do you have stuffit expander? I could make a zip file of the firefox.app and you could unzip it.
Actually, Macs should unzip without stuffit now, IIRC.
(sorry, out until just now taking Matilda to her first movie, Wall-E, which turned out to be a total happy success, yay!)
Daniel, you are a kindly genius, and I send you all sorts of virtual kisses and hugs and squeeings. WindSparrow is totally right about your world's bestness!
Whee - internets are working again! I unplugged and rebooted *everything* (modem, router, all peripherals) and whatever was clogging up the wireless tubes seems to have disappeared. Whew!
Mom and Dad are in the market for a new TV. Mom asked me the difference between plasma and LCD. I'm clueless. Can I get a clue from the hivemind please?
Plasma costs way way more. That's the extent of my knowledge.
Wasn't there once a problem with image burn or something with LCD? Which, I believe they have since solved.
Actually plasma is cheaper than LCD. LCD used to not have blacks that were as deep as Plasma, but that's no longer the case. LCD seems to be the one that is winning out lately. Cost have come down enough on LCD that it's the better way to go. Also it is much easier to get a 1080p set in LCD. Also, it was the early plasma sets that had the problem with burn in, not the LCD ones.
