How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

  • How can I get files to open automatically upon download?

    I would like files I download to open automatically and for the download window to be turned off. I know how to turn off the download window, but cannot get files to automatically download.

    Hi JJMack. Thanks for getting back to me.
    I think I've created confusion about what I want. All I want is to end up with a file that is flattened so that I can save it as a tiff without getting a warning that it contains layers. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always assumed I should always flatten a file before I save it as a tiff unless I specifically want to retain layers or transparency. I’m only talking here of files that open with a single layer: ie. Layer 1. I assume that if I don’t flatten such files the resultant files will be unnecessarily big?
    The only reason I keep saying I want a Background layer is that I know that a flattened file will only have a Background layer. I don’t have any desire for a Background layer per se. I certainly don’t want to add extra layers - quite the opposite.
    So perhaps the question I should have asked should have been:
    How can I get files to open 'ready-flattened' by default so I can save them directly to tiff without having to manually flatten them every time?
    Cheers

  • How can I get firefox to open a powerpoint online instead of downloading it ?

    Whenever I save a powerpoint presentation from a web page, it automatically downloads on my mac. How do I get it to open the powerpoint instead of downloading it?

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • How can I get firefox to open multiple tabs on startup?

    I want to upto six or seven tabs to open automatically when I launch firefox. When I look at the options tab it only gives me a prompt to enter one home page not multiple.

    The easiest way to set up home pages is to have the page that you want all open in the tabs bar and then continue as before but with "Use current pages" as your choice (button).

  • How can I get firefox to open links to .smil documents ?

    Firefox does not open .smil docs correctly. I get news updates from RTE.ie (ireland's national radio station's website) in which all headlines are links to .smil documents which firefox just asks whether to download instead of opening the relevant document. Is there a setting or plugin to handle .smil documents? or other solution?
    Thanks,
    Aidan.

  • How can I get Firefox to open htm files?

    I have Firefox 3.6.13, and Windows XP. I can't open htm files. I went online, and followed all the directions for Changing the Default Program for a Specific File Extension in Windows XP, and see that Firefox is listed as the program that should open htm files, but I get a blank page when I try to open the file.

    Are that files that you have saved on your computer or web pages that you try to open?
    Are you opening the files with a double-click in Windows Explorer?

  • How can I get Firefox to open the page of a link I've clicked on in an email?

    Every time I click on a link, in an email (or in Facebook), unless a Firefox page is already open, I usually get my home page first. Then I have to go back to the email window to access the link again to get the page I wanted from the link. Is there a workaround?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure... maybe some months ago?

    You might want to consider using a simpler home page, ideally one that is on your local drive, so you know Firefox is working even if you don't have a connection.
    But your choice is much better than choosing a home page that just interfaces with a search site, when there is a builtin toolbar that can bring up any search that you care to add an engine for.

  • How can I get firefox to talk to a second network on my computer?

    I have 2 NICs in my computer. I want to connect to a server on the second NIC. However, firefox must be only trying to connect thru the first NIC to the internet. When I enter the IP address from firefox (which Windows would route to the second NIC) all I get is a timeout. It will not connect. How do I fix this problem?

    Everything on the subnet is used for animated lighting control. The "servers" on the other end of the network are controllers for controlling RGB lighting. The software/ servers communication using a protocol called E1.31 which is a specialized protocol for lighting control. It uses Ethernet as the transport. The controlling software encodes the control signals and addresses them to a specific address (such as 10.10.10.151). The addresses used are setup in the software itself. Other than addressing the data, the software does no routing and has no knowledge of how the signal arrives at its destination. I know that the software, network, routing table, and controllers are all working properly because the software properly controls the lights.
    However, I need to be able to "talk" with the controller, via my browser, in order to adjust the controller's settings. And Firefox (and Internet Explorer) will not connect to the controller under this network configuration. If I disconnect the network on NIC 1 (home network and internet connection), then Firefox will connect with the controller on NIC 2 with no problem. That has been the problem that started this question.
    I am assuming that Firefox is sending the address request straight to the internet instead of Windows actually routing the request to the proper NIC. But I don't know enough about how Firefox works to correct this. Of course, I am just guessing about how Firefox is routing the address. I could be way off.
    I hope this helps in the understanding of my problem.
    Thanks for your interest.
