How to enable the option to select a profile - firefox

I selected 'Don't ask Profile selection option during startup', but how do I disable it since it doesn't allow me to choose a profile prior to startup

from command line: firefox -ProfileManager will ask for profile
see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments

If I understand you correctly, sounds like you want to unselect "Don't ask Profile", then it will ask you. And like RC said, running firefox -P, when firefox is not already running, will allow you to check or uncheck that box in the ProfileManager dialog.
Assuming you're running my version 3.6.16., but I'm pretty sure that's been around for a while.

Some times
firefox -profilemanager
may not work, if it is so, try
firefox --profilemanager
It will open the profile manager window, You could click on "create new" button, give it a relevant name, also specify a location where you want the profile informations to be stored. Then click finish.
Open it again
Uncheck the "Don't ask at start up" checkbox. Then click ok. I think you are done.

Does Firefox have an offline throttling mode/disable network feature?

I'm doing some front end work and I need to test how the program reacts when it loses a network connection. Firefox has a "Work offline" setting but that drops the connection for every tab -- I only want to disable the network connection for a single tab. Chrome has this with an "Offline" checkbox in the Network tab of the devtools that makes this really convenient.
This is what this feature looks like in Chrome:
The best solution I've found is to use "Request Blocking". Add * to match all requests. It also blocks local requests.
~~As of at most v97, work offline can be found by clicking File > Work Offline in the top left of the window. If you do not have the File menu, try pressing alt to make it appear.
As commentators note, this apparently allows requests to localhost, and will set all of your tabs to offline mode.~~
Greg has a much better answer
Yes we do have the option in firefox
version: 65.01
Click on the setting button(hamburger)
Then click the web developer option
Then click on the work offline option
For at least Firefox v92 (and probably previous ones) offline mode can be found by pressing ALT to bring up the File/Edit/View etc menus, then File > Work Offline.

How do I play a blf file in CANalzyer

I'm somewhat new to using CANalyzer and have never used the logging feature in the product. I was sent a BLF file to analyze and am unsure how to use it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
To be a little more specific:
Set the offline mode in the standard toolbar.
Click on the configuration tab, usually at the bottom of the window. You will see the Measurement Setup window.
Double click on the Configuration of the Log Files block - there you can add your recorded log file (should be in .blf format).
For more CANalyzer documentation, you can go to: https://kb.vector.com/29/
When the .blf file is ready, after logging the activity in CANalyzer, open with desired workspace and change the mode to Offline mode.
In "Measurement Setup" make sure that the mode is "Offline" and now right click on the icon which comes as input to Offline block.
Click "Configuration" and in the next window, remove unwanted file selection and Add your required .blf file and press OK.
Now press F9 or select the "Start" icon on the tool bar.
After these steps, the activity logged will play in the corresponding tab.
This is not replaying the CANoe but it is analyzing the traces from given logs.
For Replaying you need to add this logs into real time ECU running with all configurations

Rename tab in MobaXterm for session duration

How can we rename tabs in MobaXTerm for the entire session duration? At the moment, I can right-click and rename the tabs, but as soon as I press enter to get command prompt, MobaXTerm resets tab name to its original default. I have tried changing PS1 env variable with no effect. Please help.
I haven't tried this myself but when you create a profile for a new ssh session, there is a tab "Bookmark settings" and within this tab there is a check box named "Lock terminal title." According to the manual:
Lock terminal title
Terminal title will be set to the session name
If you check this option, any attempt by the shell to set tab title will fail.
Uncheck this option if you want to allow the shell to change tab title.
Looks like you need to open every new tab as a New Session (Click on the "Session" button) and then follow what ks2000 suggested (It works for me).
There is limitation in number of sessions created for non-purchased mobaxterm. When you go for edit the session, red coloured message this message will be displayed. Delete unwanted sessions, unlock terminal title, then it will work. Otherwise purchase mobaxterm.
A bit late, but I came across this and wanted to update it.
I found the answer here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29963545/rename-tab-in-mobaxterm-for-session-duration
I wrote a bash function to quickly handle this for me.
set_title() {
PROMPT_COMMAND="echo -ne \"\033]0;$1\a\""
}
set_title "webserver"
If none of the above works, just go to the sessions tab and click on the session you want to rename (just like when you want to rename a file). You should see the following:
After that, enter the preferred name and hit enter. The following window will occur:
Click yes and voilà!
THIS IS NOT FOR THE SESSION DURATION BUT PERMANENT

Disable "The last time you opened *, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows" dialog in OSX 10.8

I managed to successfully silence the CrashReport dialog, but when my application crashes and I restart it, I get the annoying dialog as from Title. Is there a way to prevent it to appear, and just let the application run without interruption?
Try this to get rid of the reopening windows:
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
You may also disable it for every application by selecting this option in the preferences: "Close windows when quitting an application"
And for others reading this thread, to remove the CrashReport do this:
defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none
Also note that in the source of this information they say:
For this to work one needs to check the box, open the program in
question and immediately close it. On the next re-opening it will work
without Resume.
You may also have to delete:
/Users/…/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.python.python.savedState/
I was having a similar problem with google chrome and I could solve it by reading the following link:
https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/22716083?hl=en
Drew Z recommends the following solution there which worked for me:
In the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go.
Select Go to Folder.
Enter ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/ in the text field, then press Go.
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
Voila! I've just solved this problem by deleting all Unity-related files inside ~Library/Caches folder on my Mac!
For those trying to accomplish this
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
with Python, you may get the error Couldn't find an application named "Python"; defaults unchanged.
To solve this, repeat the process to get the "reopen windows?" pop-up again, but do not choose an option in the pop-up – leave it alone for now. Right-click on the Python application's icon on the dock and choose "Show in Finder". Right-click on the application icon within Finder, hold the option key, and click Copy "Python" as pathname". Paste that in as the "Application Name" for the command above and it should work.
You can disable this for a specific Xcode scheme by going to Edit Scheme, choosing the Options tab, and checking the box labeled "Launch application without state restoration."
However, this will only apply when you actually launch the application from Xcode; it won't disable the dialog when launching by double-clicking in Finder, or when launching from the terminal.
(As best I can tell, there no way for AppKit/NSApplication-based apps to do what UIKit apps can do with UIApplicationDelegate's application:shouldRestoreApplicationState: and disable persistent state entirely for the application.)

Mac PackageMaker "Destination Select" step A) skipping B)Option permanently disabled

I have a software that is bundled using PackageMaker. When i run the installer, the first screen "Introduction" shows up. Clicking on "Continue" takes the user to the 3rd screen "Installation Type" rather than taking the user to 2nd screen "Destination Select". This issue isn't reproducible at will.
Also, I have another issue with this "Destination Select" step.
I have enabled only "Install for me only" option in the Destination Select screen. Default behavior in this screen is for the user to click on this option and then the Continue button is enabled to proceed to 3rd screen. At times, this option "Install for me only" is permanently disabled. Even clicking on it doesn't enable the option. Is there something in the PackageMaker that I need to do/change/use to make this work all the time?
I have experimented a lot on both these issues but have been reaching a deadend always. Any pointers will be helpful.

The Destination Select Pane which you get from <domains enable_anywhere ... /> is generally buggy.
