This is great fix posted by PedroMRP today here

_________________________________________________________________

What this small fix does is to make your Fast Dial v2.14 Search Bar completely transparent.

All that one sees afterwards of the Toolbar is, (if you use Google) the small G of the Google Logo.

so:

Before (yours may be white)

after

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are different ways of changing your Fast Dial to enable this change.

To make the job easy, I have made this fix into a Stylish Style.

In that way you can copy paste the code directly into Stylish.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url("chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html") {

}

#search {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}

#search input {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: white;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
background: transparent;
}

One of the advantages of this system is that you can easily switch the style on and off, and also you can easily modify or play with the values should you so choose.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternatively, if you so wish you can paste PedroMRP's code directly into fastdial.css

This is the code: (or you can take it from the post)

#search {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}

#search input {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: white;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
background: transparent;
}


What you will need to do is to post the code into fastdial.css which is in your Firefox Profile.

Maybe the easiest way to find fastdial.css is to go into Search in Windows and enter the File name.
Select the version of fastdial.css that is in the Profile that you want to alter.

Right click on the file and edit with a suitable Text editor.

In the code you will see these lines

#search {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}

#search input {
font-size: 1.5em;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
}


So you need now to paste in the new lines and delete the old.
Or edit the ones that are there.

Once finished, press save in your Text editor and you are done.

****************************************************************************************

The seeming only way to Make Fast Dial the Root Folder in a New Profile in Fast Dial Version 2.14 is this:

Thanks to Mafi0z and Mafia_Penguin for their suggestions
****************************************

After you have loaded Fast Dial 2.14 into your new Profile you will probably not see the Root Folder when you hit the Fast Dial Toolbar Button.

Please do the following

Go to Bookmarks/Organise Bookmarks

Select Bookmarks Menu

In Bookmarks Menu right click and create a new Folder
Name the Folder Fast Dial (or in fact whatever name you want)

Right click on the Folder that you have just made in Bookmarks (probably named Fast Dial)

In the Context menu select where there is the Fast Dial Icon "Make Home Page"

This will make the Fast Dial Folder into your home page

Return to Firefox

--

Click on the Fast Dial Toolbar Icon and you should now be in the Fast Dial Root Folder, you are Home.

Bug report see here

*********************************

I can confirm that Java Scaling in Version 2.14 does not work with Java 6u10, and in Java 6u11, the latest Java Version.

The symptoms are that cells continue to refresh endlessly without ever finishing.

A number of users have experienced this problem.

---

Telega confirms that JRE 6u3 works fine.

I can confirm that JRE 6u7 also works fine.

JRE 6u10 and JRE 6u11 do not work.

To download earlier Versions of Java please see here

Go to JRE 6 where you can then select which version which Version you want to download.
