Access to a website with a URL ending on .exe does not work

I need to access a website with a URL ending on .exe - Internet Explorer does not have any issues but with Firefox I only get the "file download" dialog box. Is there a setting where I can prevent this behaviour?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    Just updated my iPad with iOS 7 and now internet does not work anymore, how to fix if???? Desperate

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

    when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?  My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not.  Any suggestions?

    Hello Nina Izurin,
    While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My computer refuses to access almost any website with a .gov ending?

    I have been trying to access numerous government websites for a research project, and my computer will not load almost any website with a .gov ending. Although it will access things like the NIH, the FBI and the CDC, it refuses to acces some of the other main government sites, like the Department of Justice, the Department of Education or other departmental sites. I just tried to load the site on another computer, and it worked. Any ideas what I could do to fix this?

  • After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

    Hello,
    A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
    Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
    The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
    I have:
    tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
    tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
    tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
    The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
    Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
    +The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
    +You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
    Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
    Sincerely,
    Daniel

    Hi MisterX,
    thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
    I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
    +Dear Toshiba,+
    +after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
    +My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
    +serial: 5B378048K+
    +Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
    +Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
    +Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
    +This would be greatly appreciated,+
    +Daniel+
    MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  • This.print(pp) with interactive type silent or automatic does not work  after upgrade acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11

    After an upgrade of acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11 the automatic printing of a pdf. The pdf is opened, but the print does not happen. With acrobat reader 9 it works. But with acrobat reader 11 the printing does not happen.
    I discovered when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.full it works on acrobat reader 11. But when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent or pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic it does not work on acrobat reader 11. But with the full option we have a dialog  print box
    we do not want.
    In our jsp we load a pdf document and create a message handler to detect the print events of a pdf document that is in an <object> tag.

  • Installing Firefox with windows 7 64bit mode just does not work.

    I have windows 7 64bit mode. I cannot install firefox, it crashes all the time when I open it. I know the problem is because my windows 7 is in 64bit mode. Can you (firefox support) or someone on this forum provide the simple and easy steps of getting it to work. Also can you (firefox) hurry up and release a 64bit version. I'm using google chrome and crazy browser as they seem to have no problems at all. I really want to use firefox but it just won't set up for me because I'm running win7 64bit mode. If I was running win7 32bit mode I wouldn't be having any issues. Has anyone out there got a simple step by step solution for this? It it mind boggling that with todays technology no one has a simple fix for this issue. Help!!!!!

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

    I have been running Win 7 64 bit on an HP Pavilion lap for several months. The whole browser thing has been a nightmare. My work involves heavy duty internet research. Firefox crashes every few minutes. There is no specific event I can find that kicks this off, but running the latest Flash Players and Adobe Reader makes it a lot worse. In fact, I had to set up the adobe reader to not run within the Firefox window. I had to back off to an old version of adobe Reader and Flash Player to accomplish this. I love Firefox. I was disappointed to have to uninstall it as it was impossible to run searches with it.
    So then it proved to be that IE either version 8 or 9 was even worse. I could not keep it up long enough to run a search.
    So I installed Chrome which has some nice features, but it also crashes, albeit more gracefully so I do not lose my place and it makes a quick recovery but there are many online applications where Chrome just does not work.
    My son also has Win7 64 bit and says he is also having the same problems.
    I want my Firefox back! Please fix it.

  • Export Quicktime with Audio - timings to advance slides  -does not work

    Mac OS 10.6.1
    iMac 27" 4 GB 1067 MHZ
    Keynote 09 - 5.03
    I opened a .ppt
    I added an windows media file after getting it into GarageBand - so a GarageBand file actually
    I timed the slides - this does not work either as a side remark - you can not just enter seconds there - they disappear - you need to use the arrows
    If I test the slideshow, it runs nice in Keynote.
    If I export it to Quicktime, the sound works, the slides do not advance.
    (I think I had it once working before I moved my files to my new Mac)
    Help please
    nico

    I'm just posting this as a general discovery....
    I too have had many many frustrations with creating a slide show with audio clips linked to individual slides and a soundtrack music background. Of course this records fine and plays back fine in KN. The problem lies in any form of sharing/exporting. The audio either disappears or the timing goes nutty.
    What I discovered was....During a manual recording in which I advance the slides and the builds within the slides, the tap of the space bar directly correlates to when the audio would stop in the exported version. ie. Slide one, audio set to start automatically after transistion, text has no builds, Slide 2, audio set to start automatically, text builds with each bullet. In the exported version the second I hit the space bar to create the first build during the recording, is where the audio is cut off in the exported version.
    Therefore, if I go through each and every slide and set the timing for each and every build, transition, etc. , then record the slideshow so that I never have to hit the space bar to create builds (transitions to next slide seems to be fine) my exported recording seems to play back without problems. This is very tedious but seems to work (so far).
    I hope I have explained my findings clearly. I also hope that this is somewhat helpful to the rest of the world

  • Tabbed selection screen with AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON events does not work

    I have a selection screen with 3 tabs fields on each tab have AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field events.  
    If you are on tab 1 and select a variant that populates fields on all tabs and then click the execute button ABAP does not seem to recognize that the field has changed when it executes AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field event unless you physically go to each tab.
    I can work around this by:
    1) moving all of the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON field events in a AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event.  This is not efficient and it potentially opens me up to other problems.
    2) changing the selection screen to remove the tabs and have all of the fields on 1 screen.  This makes for a very long screen.
    Is there any way to have ABAP check all tabs?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I finally got it to start.   Let it sit and tried and it wouldn't but then I tried again and it did.  How do I blow the dust out?   I think it must be something with the heat since that comes up alot. 
    I will do it, I love my Mac.

  • Tired of working with Verizon on a phone that does not work. FASCINATE.

    Since I got my fascinate a six months ago I have had nothing but problems.. At this point in time, I don't get phone calls and can't make phone calls, I don't get text messages either at all or not for hours later and the ones I send people are not getting for hours and hours later, and when I send a text it keeps coming back not sent. And it drops my calls when I can get it to work.  So Verizon's solution is to replace this phone now twice and send me an extender box free..(By the way my phone doesn't work anywhere it is not just an at home issue) ..So I am sitting right next to this powerful extender box which cost $250.00 if you were to buy it and I am not getting a phone call, text message and can't make a call or send a text message..Box working real good. 
    I don't know I am paying $175.00 a month for three phones and I can't use mine at all. 
    If VERIZON don't get it fixed this week...I'M DONE.. Being jerked around with "Oh lets do this reset or that one and lets send you another phone. I have not had service for 6 months but I have been paying my bill for the last 6 months.. 
    So anyone else have these issues?  And if you did and got an new phone (droid incredible 2 or charge) which one worked better for you?  Thanks..

    Should we expect any different from Verizon, just look at they way the are treating their employees.
    The reluctance to make it right for fascinate owners and their refusal to negotiate with their employees are both examples of pure corporate greed. 
    I have to chime in on corporate greed.  The wireless side of Verizon has laid off a few thousand people recently.  I wonder if the CEO or  board of directors took any pay cut?
    I don't blame the lower folks for poor service, it all starts at the top and trickles down.
    And yes VZW should offer to make things right with each Fascinate owner, but that will not happen.

  • I tested Adobe CC then bought an educational license with another ID. Lightroom Mobile does not work anymore.

    I tested Adobe CC then bought an educational license with another ID. I cannot use Lightroom Mobile. Message "Evaluation version has expired is displayed" and information in Preferences showing the old ID, not the new one. Disappointing support from Adobe. How to get rid of the old information and solve the problem?

    Thanks but it did not work. Adobe (USA, not France) solved the problem. My subscription was not correctly entered in the database, it seems.

  • I created a website with iweb, some of the links do not work on ie

    Icreated a website on iweb, originally had problem with firefox, I was helped and that issue was resolved.  I just discovereded that some of my links within the site are not hot/working.  It seems to be working on safari, firefox and google chrome but not on internet explorer and it is not all the links.  Any suggestions?

    Hmm, okay I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know that a lot of iWeb users say that they have some issues with IE, and I know that lots of shapes and shadows can have an affect on an iWeb site's appearance in iWeb. But it seems strange that it would only happen on that one page, when the other pages are pretty similar.
    I would try the rage software/webcrusher method, as it is possible that if you run your site through webcrusher, it will end up working. That tutorial mentions not having shapes and shadows, but I doubt that's something you'd want to get rid of entirely as that seems to be the bulk of the design, but it's still worth a shot to just optimize the site and see if it works.
    If you need help with it, e-mail rage software and their support guys will be able to lend a hand.

  • At times the cursor that usually appears when you click on a textbox on a website (or the url bar in FF) does not appear

    If, say, a textbox contains some text (such as the address bar contains the URL), you can just click on a certain position of the string and, for instance, remove a letter. Sometimes this doesn't work with Firefox anymore. I can only select all the contents of a textbox, and there appears no cursor at all in whatever textbox I click on.

    The location bar generally shows a mix of bookmarked sites and history. You can change what appears in the bar using the Preferences dialog, and you also can just delete one or more history results or sites. These articles should help:
