In the Options of Firefox (version 3.6.8), on the Applications panel, I do not have "mailto" listed, so I cannot change my mailto settings. Help?

I would like to change the default email application, but I followed the directions in Mozilla support & did not have "mailto" in my listing.

You can check the mailto prefs on the about:config page.
If any of the mailto prefs is user set (bold) then right-click and Reset that pref to the default value.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions.

  • I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

    I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

    IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta.  It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
    Once installed all should be well again.
    Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet.  There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
    Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

  • I have updated my firefox version but it keeps on telling me that I do not have the latest version, even though I just updated it.

    On the homepage of firefox it sayd that I do not have the latest version of firefox. So i desidet to update it, but after that it kept on telling me that I do not have the latest version. I am sure that I have the latest version because I just updated it. Is it possible that the update did not work or is just an advertisement firefox shows to everyone? Hopefully you can provide me an answer, which would be helpful.
    Computer's operating system: vista (I do not know whether this is relevant)

    The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
    There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
    Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
    The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

    Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
    A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
    Hopefully you can sort it out.
    If not, there likely are fair parts in it.

  • How do I stop the 'Open as a web page' feature and just download the document directly? I want to keep the document's original title, not have it listed as "attachment".

    When I click on an email attachment, it downloads as "attachment" and not the original title. This just started happening recently, so I'm guessing it's some sort of setting.

    Outlook cannot handle what it refers to as "internet email." It is designed around its own mail server and has never been coded to completely handle email-standard emails.
    I have to say I don't understand the reference. By "its own mail server", do you mean a server running Outlook Exchange? If so, that doesn't apply to me, or I would imagine, many users of Outlook for Mac.
    As you are running a Mac, I wouldn't assume that you would be running a version of Outlook written for a "Windows PC." So, yes, none of that applies to you.

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows XP PC. On my Firefox opening page I still get a warning that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Which is the latest version for me and from where do I download it?

    On the opening page of Firefox, I am constantly reminded (and sometimes warned) that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Yet, when I click for upgrade, I start getting a download of the same version 8.0.1 which I am already running.

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help-About Firefox says I do?

    There are/were three problems:
    '''1.''' Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when '''Help>About''' Firefox says I do?
    '''2.''' Also, with the 8.xx version, I was unable to open in a new window with a right click until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I am curious.)
    '''3.''' When I tried to uninstall the older version the uninstaller told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

    1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
    From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

  • When Firefox loads I get an error saying 'the applications security component could not initiallize'. I have a 64-bit PC based system.

    When I load Firefox I get an error message that tells me that the application security component could nt be initiallized. The suggestion from the error meddage was to see if there is a read/write restriction for the application profile directory. I have looked and found no such restriction on that directory. Firefox will load and allow me to look on the web, but many of the functions do not work. I have a 64-bit system using Windows 7 (64-bit version).

    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.
    You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
    Firefox will create new files.
    The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
    See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
    If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.
    Also make sure that you allow the loopback connection with the Software Security Device in the firewall.<br />

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

    You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again
