You know, a file, like might sit > on the file system NTFS, the subject of this thread. Try to keep up. You spoke of the program. The program is called Firefox. You goofed and swapped the two. And the primary reason the Firefox file is called firefox is because of the programming convention to use lower case names on files to avoid the challenges of dealing with a case sensitive system. The name on OS X for the Firefox bundle is, as one would expect, Firefox. No need to have to change the case just to fit the standards of a less friendly system. >> It is largely of the inherent challenges of using a case sensitive file >> system that they use all lower case letters in program names in Linux (or at >> least generally recommend people to).

The process name listed in the Activity Monitor is "Firefox", but if you open the "Contents" folder in the bundle "Firefox.app" you can get to the executable file... the full path on most systems is: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox OH NO! Look at the mix of cases. SOOOOO confusing! LOL! On Linux they tend not to do that because of the higher risk of confusion. -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>
