if i have 8.0 installed in one directory, and i instal 23.0 in another, can i co-run them? the reason i ask is i want to be able to use 8.0 in case 23.0 doesn't work. thank you, 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 04:07, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
well, by "not working", i mean in case they did something weird like disable my ability to disable java and pictures, witch near as i can tell they did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 22:56, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
I have two computers. A desktop running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and a laptop running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.04. All four OS have the latest Firefox installed with the bookmarks synched. Over time the bookmarks have got out of control so that on the laptop it can take up to 5 minutes for them to pop up on Ubuntu. I cleaned them out but over the past week they seem to have returned. Any idea which of the four Firfoxes would be the best one to clean out and sync from? I am assuming the original Windows on the desktop. Is that correct?

I'm currently not at home and staying in a hotel. When I first checked my email on Ubuntu 13.04 I had no problems replying with Thunderbird. However, later in the day I could not reply directly. I had to go to my domain and log in and send from there giving all my email an odd send address, instead of myname@myaddress.com it's mycom@myaddress.com. However, if I do it through Windows I don't seem to have the same problem and it works fine. Could this be a Thunderbird problem or a Ubuntu 13.o4 problem? I have had trouble with 13.04 dropping the wireless and it just will not work at all with a wired connection, even after I followed the instructions to fix it.

I have heard that USB ports can only take so many plug-ins before wearing out, so this is maybe not a good thing to be doing in the long term. I was wondering if anyone knew a work-around. Thanks. Oh yes, and simply closing iTunes down and starting it again doesn't help. Vranak ( talk) 18:23, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
is mp4 an open format? and, are there free programs to convert from mp4 to others? thank you, 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 22:58, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
also, i can't get mplayer to work on my pc (windows 7), but smplayer works fine. when i click on "program file (x86)/smplayer/mplayer/mplayer.exe" a command prompt window flashes error text and closes. thanks, 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 23:30, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
yes, dragging a video into mplayer does play it, but it disables window 7 hero themes Intel i close it. 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 23:15, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
