I'm wondering if it is possible to determine if a user already has a web browser open to the web application I'm working on. It seems that they can open several instances of the same web app and click on buttons to read information that they have used before to enter into an input screen that they're currently working on.  What happens though is that it seems to screw up Session variables and then the user will update their previous work with their new work. Or they will delete their previous work all together or who knows...  EDIT I have seen this done before with online banking web applications. If you are already logged in, the new window will kindly tell you that you already have the app open. In my case, the user does not need to log in.  Is there a simple way to determine if they already have a browser window open to the web application and if so, just close the browser or display a different page to let them know they can only have 1 open at a time?  Thanks

I recently installed Ubuntu GNOME on my work computer, replacing Windows 7, because I will be doing a lot of Linux development work.  Many of our configuration and development scripts use shortened URLs for servers on the company network. That is, they use http://server rather than http://server.location.company.com. I never had problems with these URLS in Windows, but I have not been able to get them to work correctly in Ubuntu. It is not feasible for me to simply type the entire fully-qualified URL because the shortened form is used all over the place in various scripts, but I am able to access the long-form URLs.  When I connect to the company's VPN using the , the shortened URLS do work correctly.  Based on the research I have done so far, I think that I need to configure location.company.com as a search domain on Ubuntu, but my attempts at doing this have failed so far. Here is what I have tried:   In the "Network Connections" app, edit my wireless connection. Under the IPv4 tab, select Automatic (DHCP) addresses only. Then type in location.company.com as a search domain, and put our DNS server in as well. This made no noticeable difference. Modifying dhclient.conf as described . Running dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf to make sure that it dynamically updates resolv.conf.   I am also worried that at this point I have tried several different things and they could be interfering with each other. I know that some parts of this configuration changed in the last couple of years with Ubuntu, and it can be hard to find the most current information. It is not completely clear to me how network-manager, resolvconf, dhclient, and other configuration files work together in the newest versions of Ubuntu.  So, my question: How can I configure my computer to make the short-form URLs work correctly in Ubuntu 14.10?  Or, which network configuration programs should I be using to do this, how should I configure them, and how can I verify that they are working correctly?  Thanks for your help! Let me know if I can provide any additional info.  Edit: Here is my /etc/resolv.conf, which I believe was generated by resolvconf.  # Add Company Nameservers and Domain nameserver 192.168.200.53 nameserver 192.168.200.65 search location.company.com nameserver 127.0.1.1 search location.company.com # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.1.1 search hsd1.co.comcast.net

I'm looking for a chrome or firefox plugin that allows me to have windows with different sessions. It's a bit like chrome's  works: if you open an incognito window, it won't share the cookies with the "normal" browser window.   I'm searching for a solution that allows me to create several windows (incognito only allows two: the main window and the incognito window), each with a different session (i.e., without sharing cookies between browser windows).  Any thoughts? I'm using OSX.

For testing purposes, I want to install two different instances of firefox on ubuntu - so that they don't share cookies. (I want to simultaneously login with both instances as different users to our website).  How do I do that? I do it with Firefox &amp; Opera, but I prefer Firefox (because of firebug).

Whenever I click a link from something like outlook or a program opens a web page (not when I click a link from within chrome). It opens up in Chrome since it is my default browser but if I already have a page open it will open in a new tab on that same window. I can't tell you how many times I forget about this and close the window out, accidentally losing the other tab too. Ofcourse, I can open a new chrome window and find it under recently closed tabs but I would really just prefer if they opened in their own window so I can prevent this.

A bunch of our network/server/storage hardware uses web interfaces for their administrative portals. I'm currently using an Excel 2010 worksheet to keep track of each device. I have one column set aside to list the URL for each web interface. This makes it easy to simply click the URL to open each administrative portal.  My default browser is Firefox. However, some of the administrative portals don't play well with Firefox and require the use of IE. Until now, when I want to open a hyperlink in IE, I have to manually open IE, copy the URL from the Excel worksheet, and paste it into the IE address bar (otherwise it will open in Firefox if I simply click it). It's just an annoying extra couple of steps.  So without changing Firefox as my default browser, is there a simple way in Excel 2010 to tell it which hyperlinks to open in IE when they are clicked? I want to choose specifically which links open in which browser  (For reference I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit)

When I added my site to  (previously Google Webmaster Tools?) it asked me to add combinations of my site, with http and https and no www and with www, so now I have four. I had to verify that I owned each one. My webserver redirects everything to the https + www version anyway.   http://example.com http://www.example.com https://example.com https://www.example.com   Now that I have four, which one do I click on to use and view stats for etc? For example, I can add a sitemap but do I do this four times or just to one of them? I can link one with Google Analytics, but again which one? Some of them are reporting stats and some aren't. It seems that the http://www.example.com version is the one getting indexed correctly even though I'm using https. It all seems like a huge mess. Can someone explain it please?  A lot has already been discussed here: . But it doesn't seem to clear up my question.

When IE10 is set as my default browser, double-clicking an internet shortcut (*.url file) opens it in a new tab of the existing IE window. However, when it is not the default, every way of opening a *.url that I've tried brings up a new IE window per file. Is it possible to keep opening files in new tabs of the same IE window when it's not set as the default browser, and how?  What I've tried and it didn't work:   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Dir1\file.url" (opens a new window every time) C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll",OpenURL C:\Dir1\file.url (opens the default browser) classexec "C:\Dir1\file.url" --class htmlFile (using  utility, opens a new window every time)   I use Windows 7 x64.

What are the pros and cons of having http://www.example.com/ vs http://example.com/?  For example a problem I'm aware of is that if I use a domain without www I can't set a cookie for the current subdomain only (since there is no subdomain), and the cookies I set will be sent to all subdomains.

My default browser is Safari. I would like to open all Google Meet links (e.g. https://meet.google.com/xxx-xxxx-xxx) to open in Google Chrome. I open these links from a calendar event in Apple's Calendar app.  How can I make these kinds of links open in Chrome instead of Safari?

I am confused about hreflang="x-default".  I have a site in 2 languages. In each page I have a link to the page itself and a link to the same page in the other language. If I understand correctly, I have to put an x-default also. In my case it goes to the page "language". There the user can see two buttons to choose the language of the site.  The x-default link is the same on all pages and it is present in all of them.   &lt;link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://example.com/about" /&gt;  &lt;link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="http://example.com/fr/about" /&gt; &lt;link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="http://example.com/language" /&gt;   I use Screaming Frog to detect possible errors. It says "Missing confirmation links in all the pages" when I see the details of the error. It makes reference only to the x-default link. I do not understand.  How to use the hreflang="x-default"?

I have the following browsers on my phone:   stock Dolphin Mini Opera Mobile Firefox   I don't want to set a catch-all default because some pages render better on some browsers than on others.  When I click on a link on a non-browser app (e.g. google search or google reader) it asks me which browser to choose (as expected).  Can I set a default browser for some pages and a different default for others?

If I use a name like "www.example.com" to go to a web page, the browser will start from right to left, looking at the TLD to find the domain and then proceed further. If I enter the IP address of that host, how will the browser parse it?
