Guide For Finding The Download List In Mozilla Firefox Browser

I am a graduate student and I use a computer running on Windows 7 computer. For online browsing, I have installed the Mozilla Firefox browser and have used it to download many songs, videos and music files. When I did this for the first time, I was not able to locate the download list on the Firefox browser. But, with the necessary help from the Mozilla Firefox support team, I was able to find it very easily.

About Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a free web browser released by the Mozilla Corporation. It is a browser that is compatible with all kinds of operating systems like Windows, MAC, Linux, and Android. Usually, when we download any files by using this browser, a pop up window will appear showing the download list and it also shows the progress of the download. However, once the download is completed, this download window will disappear. But, there is no need to worry as there are simple instructions available to find the download list in a Mozilla Firefox browser.

Instructions

• Start the process of finding the download list in Mozilla Firefox by opening the Mozilla Firefox browser in your system by either clicking its shortcut icon or by accessing the application from the Windows Start menu. 
• When it opens on your screen, navigate to the browser toolbar using your mouse, click on the option called Tools. This toolbar would be seen at the top of the browser window in Windows OS, where as in Mac PCs these browser toolbars can be seen to the right of the Apple symbol on your Apple computer screen. The support site of Mozilla Firefox says that, the users can also access the download list in Firefox by pressing the keys Command and J. 
• Next, from the pop up list, you need to select the option called Downloads. Now a window will appear on the screen showing the download list. The download list will be empty or you would see a blank area, if you have not downloaded any items using your Mozilla Firefox browser. If you have downloaded any items like photos, videos, documents or any files, you would see those things in the list. 

The above instructions from the Mozilla Firefox support team would help you find the list of downloads that you have done using your Mozilla Firefox browser. To know more about it, contact the Mozilla Firefox customer care online.

More Updates For Microsoft Windows Azure Released

With more and more users going into the use of cloud computing, the popularity of the Microsoft Azure platform is on the rise. However, this also means that Microsoft has to release occasional updates, taking in to account the increasing demand for their cloud-computing platform. As usual, Microsoft provides excellent support services, with the support website and the Microsoft Support phone service.

About the Microsoft Azure Cloud computing platform

Windows Azure is Microsoft’s attempt to get a stronghold in the cloud computing market. Microsoft already have the Windows SkyDrive cloud storage service, and many of its software packages are now available as an online subscription service. Windows Azure takes all this one step further, and makes it possible for Microsoft to provide the IT infrastructure as well as a whole array of software programs through their cloud network.

Windows Azure also acts a development platform for the software developers to create apps on, for cloud computing needs. Indeed, this is the main feature of Windows Azure, where it would provide all the tools required for the developers to create such apps for the Windows platforms.

About the Microsoft updates for the Windows Azure platform

Released back in February 2010, Windows Azure was updated every few months or so, adding more tools and support to help software developers insert new features to their cloud applications. The just-released Windows Azure update includes notification hubs, disaster recovery and SQL Server AlwaysOn support to the platform.

The Notification Hub, as the name suggests, can be used to send notifications to multiple devices using an API call. The SQL Server AlwaysOn support would improve SQL Server deployments using the Virtual Machines in Windows Azure. The newly introduced Auto Scaling feature will help developers scale down the instances based on a time setting.

Also, there are many other features and options added to the Windows Azure platform, as well as improving the already present features in the platform. These new changes would help Microsoft take this platform to even more software developers who are developing cloud-based apps.

Also, Microsoft has added more server support for their cloud network. This means even more storage space is now available online, through the Microsoft Azure and other Microsoft cloud platforms.

Microsoft To Support Xbox 360 Until 2016

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is a gaming console that enables the users to play high quality games with little effort. Even though Microsoft released their new gaming console Xbox One recently, most of the Xbox 360 users are likely to hold on to the Xbox 360 gaming console. Even though Microsoft has released a new gaming console in the market, the happy news for Xbox 360 users is that Microsoft has decided to provide support and new games for the console until 2016.

Microsoft released the Xbox 360 gaming console last year in an effort to take a share of the gaming console industry from the leader in the industry, Sony. Sony with their PlayStation series have made it clear that they are the emperors in the gaming console industry. They made the notion clearer by releasing the latest PlayStation 4 gaming console with much better features than Xbox 360 and less pricy than Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. However, according to Microsoft help line, all this will change within a short time span as the new Xbox One gaming console is on its way.

Well with the words of Yusuf Mehdi in the air, it states that Microsoft will be providing Xbox 360 owners support until 2016 even though they are now concentrating on the Xbox One gaming console. However, people are not going to let go of the popular $499 something priced Xbox 360 in recent future as even game developers are interested in making games for the old one rather than for the new Xbox One.

Microsoft help line has provided support for the Xbox consoles even after Xbox 360 was released for a long time. However, the support for Xbox 360 is to increase even more according to the news we were able to procure from the Windows support site. Well it is a sad situation that Microsoft is recalling the service provided to Xbox consoles in 2016, but one must also consider the fact that until then Microsoft would have provided about eleven years of support for the console and that’s a long time if you ask me.

So the best thing you can do is to stop worrying about the end of support for the Xbox 360 gaming console and upgrade to the new Xbox One gaming console. You will be able to get more features in the latest Xbox One.

Microsoft Releases More Patches In Recent Automatic Update

After Microsoft released the latest rounds of Black Tuesday Patches, screams of agony began reverberating all over the Internet. There are many issues with the KB 2817630, KB 2760411, KB 2810009, KB 2760588, and KB 2760583 patches. This article discusses these problematic KBs in detail.

KB 2817630 is not a security patch. This is a functionality patch for the Office 2013 program and it mainly had an impact on the functionality. There are dozens of reports in the Internet stating that installing this particular patch in conjunction with the KB 2810009 patch, which is a part of MS13-074, makes the folder pane in the Outlook 2013 invisible.

Thirteen hours after the first post complaining about the issue appeared on the TechNet forum, Microsoft has not done anything yet to fix the issue. As of 00:15 am on Wednesday, September 11, the patches are still available in the Microsoft website, marked for automatic installation and these KB articles have not been updated to reflect the issues.

It seems that uninstalling both these patches will bring back the folders, although there is a more substantive workaround that is offered by one of the users.

The post says, “This behavior seems to be caused by using the latest version of the shared Office library mso.dll 15.0.4535.1002 from KB2817630 in combination with an outdated version of Outlook.” The post asks the users to install KB2817503 to update the Outlook program to match the version 15.0.4535.1004. The post also confirms that updating the Outlook program with the August 2013 hotfix KB2817503 restored the missing reading on a number of machines.

KB 2760411, KB 2760583 and KB 2760588 are parts of the MS13-073 and MS13-072 security patches for the Microsoft Office 2007 program. In sevenforums, harin35 says, “No error messages. Windows Update appears to install them; but the updates have not been installed. These are 'important' updates. When I run Windows Update again, these three updates reappear as 'important' updates.”

There is no guidance for handling this problem in the usual forums, as the people moderating the forums do not have a clue on what went wrong and Microsoft is not saying anything on fixing the issue. If you wish to know more on these problematic KBs and patches, you can contact the Outlook help team. You can also refer the Outlook help modules posted in the Microsoft website to know further on these problematic KB articles.
