==Web-location dragndrop to Finder== | |||
I would like to be able to click on a tab's icon in Firefox, drag it and drop it on a Finder window to create a web location file in the Finder. When I try to do this at present, I can drag the icon, but no plus-sign appears on it and when I try to drop it, no new file is created. | |||
==Dialogue Boxes in OS X - highlighting for "Save Page As..."== | |||
When I have navigated to a web page and give the command "Save Page As...", I get a dialogue box with the suggested name of the page highlighted. I use this a lot, and usually need to change the name that is suggested to something I prefer. This was made easier in earlier versions of Firefox for Mac, because not the whole name was highlighted: only the part before the dot and the extension. This was enormously time-saving since I could leave the extension as it is and just paste the new name from the clipboard. | |||
In the current version of Firefox, the extension is also highlighted. This means I must click to change the highlighting. I have always preferred macs for avoiding Microsoft's click-mania. Moreover, where the suggested name that is already highlighted contains spaces or hyphens, it is not enough to just double-click on the part before the dot. I have to click and drag to select the whole name before the dot. This involves looking closely at it to make sure I have selected the right bit before I overwrite it with typing. | |||
All this is enormously frustrating as I do it a lot. I collect freeware and muck around with it as a hobby. When I download it, I save a webpage in HTML only as a description of what I have downloaded. The names I give the web page and download correspond and are something copied from the web page that is complete and informative. I yearn for the time-saving simplicity of the smart selection feature Firefox used to have. | |||
