<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the release of Firefox 28 just two days ago, Mozilla today updated its Firefox Beta channel to version 29 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. This is a massive release: Firefox Sync has been revamped and is now powered by Firefox Accounts, there's a new customization mode, and the major user interface overhaul Australis has finally arrived. </span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">Firefox 29 beta also introduces a new customization mode that lets you drag and drop items such as browser history, sync, or download, or add-on icons to your toolbar.The Firefox Sync feature which lets you keep your browser data synchronized between computers and mobile devices has also been updated to use the new Firefox Accounts feature.But it’s the new user interface which is by far the most notable new feature in Firefox 29 beta. Soon it’ll be the default UI for all versions of the browser.</span></span></div>

How to format a write-protected USB flash drive or memory card

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.279998779296875px;">Some memory cards and USB pen drives have write protection switches, which allows you to prevent files from being deleted, or any new files being written to the device. It also prevents the drive or card from being formatted.</span><span style="border: 0px; line-height: 17.279998779296875px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span><br />

Bear in mind that there is no guarantee that they will work for you: your drive or memory card may be corrupt or broken and no utility or low-level formatting tool will make it work again. The only solution in this case is to buy a new drive.</span></span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Windows 8.1 is here and brings many new and improved features. The update is free for current Windows 8 users, it’s available from the Windows Store, and the installation process, if not quick, at least is easy. If you would like to boot to the desktop, take advantage of the improved SkyDrive integration, or run multiple apps next to each other with the new dynamic Snap feature, you should consider upgrading.</span></div>

Issues">run into issues</a>, note that the only way to roll back to Windows 8 after upgrading to Windows 8.1, is to restore a previously made system image. Unfortunately, a Windows 8 system image can only be restored to Windows 8, meaning you will need Windows 8 installation media. Fear not, we outline the entire Windows 8.1 upgrade and downgrade process here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Microsoft has made several <strong>changes to the user interface (UI)</strong>. Not only does the Start screen no longer get cluttered with tiles when you install new apps, you can also share your desktop wallpaper with the Start screen, which makes the transition from one view to the other more natural. If you’re a multitasker, you will love that you can now snap more than two apps to display next to each other and dynamically change how much screen space each of them takes up.</span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.20000000298023224px; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are eager to take advantage of Windows 8.1′s new features, hold on for a moment. You can not roll back the upgrade and return to Windows 8 in case you do not like it! The only way you can “downgrade” from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8, is if you prepared a system image before you upgrade.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Run a <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/windows-update-everything-you-need-to-know/" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Windows Update: Everything You Need To Know">Windows Update</a> and install all important updates before you upgrade. You won’t be able to see the Windows 8.1 file until all key updates have been installed. Next, make sure you have sufficient storage space on your system drive; the upgrade file is between 2 and 4GB. After you cleaned up, create a backup of your files. Better yet, if you want to be able to downgrade or restore your system in case something goes wrong during the upgrade, create a system image.</span></div>

In Windows 8, open the Charms bar and do a <em>Search</em> for recovery in <em>Settings</em>. The option you are looking for is called Windows 7 File Recovery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This feature was added so you could restore backups made in Windows 7. Windows 7 File Recovery might seem familiar. Indeed, it looks the same as the <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/set-windows-7-backup-restore-feature/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease;" target="_blank" title="How To Set Up & Use Windows 7 Backup & Restore Feature">Windows 7 Backup and Restore</a>feature. Not only does it look the same way, it also works the same way, meaning it has retained the capability to create backups and system images. So go ahead and create that Windows 8 system image, which is your only chance to restore your personal Windows 8 setup, after an upgrade to Windows 8.1.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since Windows 8.1 won’t allow you to restore a system image of Windows 8, you will have to re-install Windows 8 before restoring your system image.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you do not have Windows 8 installation media, you should create them now. This is something Microsoft has actually made fairly easy.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once setup has completed, you will land on the improved Windows 8.1 Start screen. If you upgraded from Windows 8, your files and previously installed applications will still be there. If you upgraded from Windows 8.1 Preview, however, you’ll have to re-install your desktop programs and apps, although the download links for modern apps will be waiting for you on the Start screen. Enjoy exploring the updated environment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you disappointed in Windows 8.1? Don’t like how it works compared to Windows 8 or did something go wrong during the upgrade? This is the time to use your previously created system image to “downgrade” to Windows 8.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As mentioned previously, you can’t use your Windows 8 system image on Windows 8.1 because essentially, it’s a different operating system. So this is not a downgrade at all, but rather a very time intensive brute-force system restore. And here is how you do it…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, you have to replace Windows 8.1 with a fresh installation of Windows 8 using your original installation media or the ones you created prior to upgrading. Once you’re back in Windows 8, use a <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-a-windows-8-recovery-disk/" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="How To Create A Windows 8 Recovery Disk">Windows 8 recovery disk</a> or restart to recovery options from the Power menu.
