Firefox 4 doesn’t prompt to save tabs on exit

Posted by jwebb on March 31, 2011 No comments

If you are liked to the way Firefox 3 prompted to save open tabs on exit you’ll be surprised when Firefox 4 doesn’t ask by default. The feature isn’t missing, it’s just turned off. Follow the steps below to turn this feature on.

Please note: This solution was posted by TonyE on the Mozilla support forums. I am not taking credit, just passing it along.

Open Firefox 4.
Type about:config into the location bar and press enter.
Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences.
Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true.
Repeat this for these 2 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart.
There is one more preference that needs to be set to true – browser.showQuitWarning.

HTTP Error when uploading images through WordPress

Posted by jwebb on March 27, 2011 No comments

Recently I received an HTTP Error when trying to upload images for a post on this site. This error seems to relate to using 1and1 as a host. The fix is easy, add the line below to your .htaccess file located in the root of your WordPress install. Be sure to add the lines after # END WordPress or your changes may get wiped out.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Here is where I found the answer.

ZENworks imaging return codes

Posted by jwebb on March 27, 2011 No comments

One of the previous version of this site included instructions on how to get the return code from the img program and compile a list of their meanings. For archive sake I made a copy of the original article available here. I’ve also found a more comprehensive list of return codes and their meanings from the Novell wiki.
