Move Multiple Windows Simultaneously in Spaces
Command-drag a window in Spaces to move all windows associated with the dragged window's application to a new space. Control-drag will do the same thing, and will also preserve the same screen position in the space in which you drop the windows.

Firefox 3.6.8
Mozilla's Firefox 3.6.7 is a minor maintenance update that addresses a handful of security vulnerabilities and a long list of stability bugs. The 126 stability issues addressed in this update are minor and/or exceedingly technical, though if you'd like to peruse the list, it's available on Mozilla's Web site. The critical security vulnerabilities addressed could result in the standard threats of arbitrary code execution and attacker-controlled memory. More specific security notes are available. Finally, the just-released 3.6.8 "fixes a single stability issue affecting some pages containing plugins." (Free, 17.6 MB)

Unfortunately, upgrading to 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 has not solved this continuing problem on my Mac Pro 2x2 Dual-Core Xeon. Running OSX 10.6.4
How can I clear off all of the related software and get a clean program installed? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(By the way, Firefox 3.6.7 and 8, work fine on my MacBook Pro, so it must be related to the Mac Pro only.)
You might move that entire profile folder out to the Desktop, relaunch Firefox, and see if that solves it. If so, you can try moving bookmark files and whatnot from the old profile folder back into the new one (while Firefox is not running).
Any ideas what is causing this or if there is a setting somewhere to control this?
You need to have Adobe flash player installed.
How to test: navigate to www.snapnames.com
On any web page choose an image and selcet "Save image as" the box will close without you taking any other action.
This problem seems to affect the MAC only.
(1) At school, I downloaded them again, restarted the computer, again they vanished.
(2) Fearing a disk problem, I created files and saved them to the desktop to see whether they would vanish (a problem writing them to the disk) and whew, they were there.
(3) Then, using Firefox, I tried to overwrite the "temporary" files to see whether they would remain. Firefox told me that they were read only files and I had to rename them.
When I renamed them, and restarted the computer, they were also there.
(4) Next I tried Safari to confirm that it was not a disk issue. Safari saves all documents appropriately and they remain on the desktop when computer restarts/shuts down
(5) After that, I deleted and reinstalled Firefox. The installation date continues to read July 22, when I first installed the program. Preferences and bookmarks remain from first installation.
(6) This morning I verified and repaired permissions and verified the disk with utilities running from an external Startup DVD. The disk is ok.
(7) Finally, after I changed the location for downloading files several times, office documents remain on the desktop, pdfs disappear.
Any ideas...
