Firefox problem
in [UK Mac]

From: Peter Ceresole on 12 Jun 2010 10:24 FF 3.6.3 in OS 10.4.11. I downloaded the Flash 10.1 security update and installed it. Everything works fine except that now, if I want to store a page url (with Cmd-D or using the menu item) instead of storing it, it offers to delete the url (and does so if I go ahead). I can't see how to get back to the original behaviour. Any ideas? -- Peter

Any ideas? I'm not sure it's down to Flash. I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the previous one, and the behaviour persists. But when I chose <command>D again, it behaved normally. Maybe it's when you try to Bookmark This Page and the bookmark already exists? If so, it's a Firefox thing. John. -- Please reply to john at yclept dot wanadoo dot co dot uk.

Previously, it didn't work. But just now, it did, and I'm back to where I want to be. Odd business, but it certainly coincided with installing the 10.1 version of Flash Player. Glad it's over... -- Peter |
