The find function works really crappy in Firefox in general, but what's really a big deal for me is that it doesn't work at all to search text in Wikipedia articles when you are in in edit mode. Anyone know a work around/hack/add-on?-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 03:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
There is a "highlight all" button on the find bar that you get from pressing ctrl-F (not slash) -- Random832 ( contribs) 17:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I want to embed some SVG in HTML. The standards-compliant way is to use the 'object' tag. This requires the use of the attributes 'width' and 'height', however. Why is it necessary to specify these attributes? For some SVG files it's easy to find, since they are specified in the file itself. However, it seems that the renderer could work these out itself a lot of the time. This isn't required for images, so why for arbitrary objects? Also, if I'm not mistaken it might be possible for the rendered SVG to change dimensions depending on the renderer - doesn't this make the 'object' tag pretty useless, if this requirement is kept? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.210.249.81 ( talk) 12:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
My problem is that when I hold the Shift button and click on the four tildes, I get a blank screen that tells me that it is already done. What is up with that? Ericthebrainiac ( talk) 17:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I was trying to find out the kind of RAM needed for a computer with a FSB of 800 MHz. I did the formula, finding that this should be capable of 1600 MT/s and a bandwidth of 12.8 GB of data per second, giving it a name of PC12800 or DDR1600. I noticed there is no form of memory like this. Did I do something wrong, or does it have to do with different forms of SDRAM? (Like DDR, DDR2, DDR3) TheSeaIsBlue ( talk) 20:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Recently, whenever I have opened Firefox, I have got the following message:
Offline Mode
Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web.
The browser is operating in its offline mode and cannot connect to the requested item.
- Is the computer connected to an active network?
- Place the browser in online mode and try again.
I'm not sure why this is, as Safari, which I am using now, works fine.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to resolve it?

I was using my friends computer today (Windows Vista, unfortunately), when it suddenly crashed.
I had opened a run dialog box, then, after deciding not to use it, closed it. There was an error message to the effect of "explorer.exe has terminated unexpectedly", (I don't recall the specifics, but it seemed pretty standard sounding).
When I rebooted, Windows said that it couldn't start the OS, and it recommended that I use the Windows Startup repair utility. After running it, I got a Blue Screen (ugh). Running it a second time, it told me that it couldn't fix the problem.
The computer starts in safe mode, but not normally. Any ideas?
(I haven't installed any hardware lately, but my computer crashed during a large download of Maple Story (my friends download, not mine:P))
Ideas?
