I want only one application to go through a VPN (for example firefox) is that possible? So if I want to use safari, mail, and itunes on my local connection, but firefox on a VPN connection at the same time, is this possible?

Does anyone know if Firefox 4 is Cocoa or Carbon. If it is none of those than what exactly is it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought my first Mac (iMac) and am a complete noob to OS X. I installed couple of applications -- skype and firefox -- and now i've these 2 icons on the right side of my desktop. The icons have the logo's of the corresponding applications. I want to know if I can delete these to unclutter and how. If I click on "Finder --> Eject disk", I get the warning "The disk 'skype' is in use and could not be ejected". Did I goof up while installing these apps??
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the white MacBook, I've had it about 2 years now. I was wondering if maybe I have too much on my hard drive and that is why my most commonly used applications have suddenly begun to close mid-use. I've never had this problem before and have recently uploaded quite a bit of music/photos to my MacBook, so it seems to be the only logical explanation for it? Or, I don't think I could've gotten a virus because 1. I'm very cautious about the files I download and 2. I don't think Macs are susceptible to most viruses. I could be wrong, though.
Nonetheless, does anyone know of any solution for this?
i know safari is default cuz its apple and all.. but what do you guys have as a separate option:
Google Chrome
Firefox 3.5
Firefox 4 Beta
Opera
Just safari
just curious.. wanting to put a browser but not too sure. (on my desktop PC, i have firefox 4), but i would like to know
the Firefox addons on Mozilla's website work on OSX when using Firefox? I just wanted to make sure since I like using all of the apps on my firefox configuration and was thinking about buying a mac. I know a lot of 3rd party apps that aren't specifically made for Mac at times will not work
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't like Firefox 11 one bit and am yearning for 3.6. I read online to drag firefox 11 to trash and that, of course did nothing to actually uninstall. I then dowloaded 3.6 and 'installed' that, restarted but still firefox 11 lives on in my computer.
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. Understand I am a novice user compaired to most so, here is what I've done so far. Deleted FF in Apps. (trashed)Deleted FF profile (trashed)Attempted stoping any process in the activity monitor(nothing there)Force quit FF (nothing there) Searched every place I can think of for any file named Firefox or Mozilla with no results.cannot find anything in a "profile" that looks FF related Tried re-downloading FF and re-installing(same error prompt) Tried restarting the comp I made the switch to Apple this year because owners and users of Mac seem to very proud of their product, so does Mac according to the price.
Info:
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.3), server software
I made a simple test by opening same webpages with firefox and safari.facebook, gmail, apple start page and an internet newspaper...in activity monitor safari was using 270 mb of memory versus 170 of firefox... on a clean reboot...before after using safari for a while.. kept the open pages and reopened them in firefox.. it was safari 550 mb vs. firefox 250 mb

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run firefox from a USB stick, but have come across a few issues. I recently lost a computer so I want to make sure that my online banking and other password kind of stuff/shopping is done without leaving any trace on my hard drive.
My first question is: Is it possible to protect myself in this way? I really don't understand the ins and outs of this, but I want to avoid leaving passwords etc on my hard drive. I am looking into ironkey since it was advertised here, but as I won't be moving the USB out of my home, I figured just running the app from my USB would be ok for now.
When running firefox, I can only get to a website by googling it, not by putting the address in the address bar.
I have tried to copy text from a site, but it only gives me the options to 'save image as' but when clicked, nothing else happens. The same is true for photos.
I've never been much of a Firefox fan. I think it feels too much like a Windows app, it's not as integrated into OS X as Safari and, in my opinion, it hasn't been as fast as Safari. I have to give it props for having add-ons and extensions but it creates a lot of security problems and conflicts with other extensions. I don't understand why so many people like Firefox so I just want to ask: Why do all of you like Firefox?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt's called Google Desktop. It's an old version (1.1) that doesn't work and I've been trying to get rid of it for ages. Whenever I uninstall, it says it will be deleted when Firefox restarts, but it doesn't; when it restarts, it says 1 new add-on has been installed, and it's Google Desktop! I've even tried going into my Firefox profile folder's Extensions folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla and deleting all the add-ons, but the Google Desktop one reappears the second I open Firefox!

I use the latest version of Firefox on an XP machine. I want to transfer my Firefox bookmarks, profile, etc. to a machine running Mac OS 10.3
Are there any snags to look out for since Mac OS 10.3 is a somewhat older operating system?
I have been having this problem for over two weeks on my iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running 10.6.6. I am running FF 3.6.12 and Thunderbird 3.1. I mention Thunderbird, because the persistent request to install fonts occurs on both apps, not just FF. Clicking "Do not ask me again," has no effect.
The odd thing is the requests in both apps want to install on the volume "NEON," which is my SuperDuper (bootable) backup drive, and should contain all the fonts that are on my boot drive.
I have tried the tricks suggested for FontBook (move all User Fonts to the Computer Fonts ?), with no change in behavior. With some difficulty, I did install the fonts being asked for on both volumes, with the result that Firefox and Thunderbird began asking to install a new set of completely different fonts, although fewer in number that when the problem began.
I recently arrived at college and when you join the wifi network (and through ethernet) you have to register your computer. I did this at orientation and everything worked fine. Once I got here I had to reregister (maybe they reset something in the system, so I don't think its a big deal but youre supposed to only have to register every 12 months).
I believe what happened is I opened Safari and I registered over Wifi and ethernet. And then nothing would load while I was on wifi, but Skype would work (but I've noticed that the Pandora One app won't load, but I'm not going to worry about that, at least for now. I can use the website).
So after like an hour chatting with tech support, resetting Safari, restarting, trying Chrome, I go in to the library where tech support is.
I have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I lost all my bookmarks on Firefox and now I cannot save any.

I've done a search and fond a really good one, but it's not available for the latest version of FF. I've also seen a few that were PC only but the rest I've been finding are more like spell checkers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I attempt to open a pdf file in Firefox I get a dialog box asking me to "Open with" or "Save to Disk"? The problem is the "Open with" lists only an old app that I no longer have, and doesn't give me a choice to select which app to use. If I go ahead and click OK it opens in Preview which is fine, but why does the dialog box only show an old app that is no longer available? How this this info get filled in, and how can I fix this?
