yet another firefox thread

.. this time not moaning but just asking for some help -

1) does anyone know how to turn off the keyboard shortcut
that exits a firefox window (or maybe a tab, i dunno which
but it's annoying as fuck and i'm not gonna give it a whirl
now to test it) when you press CTRL-W ? I use pico/nano
sometimes on linux and after i've been using it i'll hit
CTRL-W instead of CTRL-F in firefox to try to find something
in a page and it just all goes to hell.. very annoying..

2) why aren't shockwave / flash yokes playing. the fucking
bastards. i've installed shockwave and flash for firefox
(Netscape/mozilla, really) and they still don't play. been
like this for months. i have to open IE every time i want to
view something of this nature and this too is very annoying

apart from that, yay for firefox eh? :D

shockwave / flash items should have a 'download this plug
in' image if they you've not got the write software
installed in firefox.

not sure that keyboard shortcut can be changed.

yea that came up a long time ago, i downloaded and installed
and hey presto all i get is a blank. nothing at all.

and it sucks cause i used to have this cool extension (not
installed anymore) that displayed a play button on all flash
animations so you could choose what you wanted to see (like
a nifty extra ad blocker)

I'm lucky, the "w" and "f" aren't that close to each other
on my keyboard.

q w e r t y u i o p
a s d f g h j k l

uninstall then, then re-install them only when prompted

1) maybe try this extension

2) i don't really know... you could have a conflict with one
of your other extensions, or you could have a corrupt
profile, or your plugin directory could be fuxXored
somehow.

try uninstalling all of your extensions and reinstalling
them one at a time.

if that doesn't work, close your browser, go to your install
directory [c:\program files\firefox], go into the \plugins\
folder, and delete everything... then restart firefox, go to
a page that uses flash, and reinstall it using the yellow
info bar.

if that doesn't work, delete your profile directory in [docs
and settings], and restart the browser (you'll have to
reinstall your extensions if you do this.).

if none of that works, uninstall firefox, delete your
profile directory completely, then reinstall it.

you'll probly want to export your bookmarks before you
delete your profile.

Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > File > Export

you can re-import them the same way, once you reinstall
everything.

the ~ key is to the left of the 1 key.

i have no £ key... in fact, i had to go here to
figure out how to type it just now.

you could have jusy copied and pasted the £ in my post you
know.

to the left of my 1 is a ` with a ¬ above it...real useful
key that is.

yes. that would've been easier. but, i am a maroon, you
see?

hmm.. what does the ¬ key signify?

/me seems to remember a thread about that a few weeks ago..
