You may have to set another browser temporarily as the default browser to make Firefox "redo" the default browser settings.

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

Internet Explorer closing when downloading Flashplayer 10

I have lost all facility on my computer to play clips from webpages on my pc.
I have tried to download adobe flashplayer 10.0.42.34 and each time the webpage closes with the message 'A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused internet explorer to close this web page'.
I am using IE8 on a x86 based pc. My operating system is Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600 service pack 3 build 2600.
All I want to do is be able to have the facility back again to allow my son to use the Club Penguin website.
My pc is a dell dimension running on a 32bit version of windows.
I have read various details about the problems that people are having with this download and it has confused me, Can anyone help?

I have downloaded the Active X Installer and have loaded the Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X (According to what it tells me in the loaded programs folder.)
When I downloaded the Installer the following message came up;
Error opening file for writing
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10d.exe
Click Abort to stop the installation or,Ignore to skip the file.
Retry did not work so I chose Ignore.
It then said that Adobe Set Up was complete.
How can I check that Flashplayer is now working ok?
When I open the Adobe.com webpage I get a message that says,
Assert in LSP
9_socket_data.Lookup(s) == 0
Capture\lsp\nolsp\wsp_patches.cpp:1273
Abort Retry Ignore
What does this mean?
Is my computer as safe as it was before loading the Installer?

Internet Explorer starts when clicking on Firefox.exe

Whether through the desktop shortcut (which points correctly to firefox.exe in the right folder) or through the exe itself, Internet Explorer starts instead of Firefox.
Asking for a default browser from IE did nothing, as did changing the default setting for the OS (Windows 7). Re-installing to the latest version of Firefox did not work. IE was current. "firefox.exe" does start up in Task Manager and can be shut down that way.
There are no error messages and no new add-ons were installed in Firefox before this happened.
Haven't heard of anything like this before.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Cannot recall any settings changing.

He did add the Broadsoft toolbar. We disabled it in IE (couldn't uninstall it) and uninstalled the Outlook add-on then restarted. This didn't take care of the problem.
My problem seems different than any of the ones posted. As Firefox does NOT start a browser window at all; instead IE starts a browser window.
The toolbar was designed for IE and was not installed on Firefox. Also, my boss said the problem was there before this toolbar was installed.

Problems with page not showing up in Internet Explorer

I uploaded my page. All was fine. Looked good in all
browsers.
home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/index.htm
Now all of a sudden my index.htm page (also have default.htm
page) shows up as a black screen only no pictures. No words.
All of the sub pages show up fine if you add that to the
address. Just the Index. is not showing up in Internet Explorer.
Looks good in Firefox, Netscape and Safari.
example home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/index3.htm
Anybody have any suggestions?
J Whedbee

I'm seeing the entry page at:
http://home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/
with no problems.
I'm also seeing
http://home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/index.htm
with no
problems... pics, black background.
http://home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/default.htm
is just the same as
index.htm
http://home.gci.net/~larry-and-jackie/Index.htm
(note the capital "I" )
can't be seen .... no such file.
Not sure why you would have an index.htm and a default.htm
both really
aren't needed.
Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Some tables show up in Internet Explorer and not on Modzilla

I just noticed that some of the cats on the Our Cats page of my website,
www.freedomfarm.net, show up on Internet Explorer, but not on Modzilla FireFox. They are actually listed as a table on the page with a picture and text. I will confess that I cheated. I copied the table code from another website that I liked. But since it works on IE and some of them work on Modzilla, I don't think that is the problem...could be wrong though. If anyone has any ideas what might be causing this, I sure would appreciate the help. Thanks!

There is obviously an inbalance with your 'comment' tags . Go into your pages code and delete everyone before and after the <hr> tags and the missing cats will appear. I don' t have time to figure out exactly which are casuing the issue, anyway other than mark the end and beginning of a section which the <hr> tag already does for you they are'nt required.

Need urgent help on file download servlet problem in Internet Explore

I have trouble to make my download servlet work in Internet Explore. I have gone through all the previous postings and done some research on the internet, but still can't figure out the solution. 
I have a jsp page called "download.jsp" which contains a URL to download a file from the server, and I wrote a servlet (called DownloadServlet) to look up the corresponding file from the database based on the URL and write the file to the HTTP output to send it back to the browser. 
the URL in download.jsp is coded like <a href="/download/<%= currentDoc.doc_id %>/<%= currentDoc.name %>">on the browser, it will be sth like , the number 87 is my internal unique number for a file, and "myfile.doc" is the real document name. 
in my web.xml, "/download/" is mapped to DownloadServlet 
the downloadServlet.java looks like
tem_name = ... //read DB for file name
// set content type
if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".doc")) {
response.setContentType("application/msword");
else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".pdf")){
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".ppt")){
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-powerpoint");
else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".xls")){
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
else {
response.setContentType("application/download");
// set HTTP header
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\""+tmp_name+"\"");
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
//read local file and write back to browser
int i;
while ((i = is.read()) != -1) {
os.write (i);
os.flush();
Everything works fine in Netscape 7.0, when I click on the link, Netscape prompts me to choose "open using Word" or "save this file to disk". That's exactly the behavior I want. 
However in IE 5.50, the behavior is VERY STRANGE.
First, when I click on the URL, the popup window asks me to "open the file from its current location" or "save the file to disk". It also says "You have chosen to download a file from this location, ...(some url).. from localhost"
(1) If I choose "save the file to disk", it will save the rendered "download.jsp" (ie, the currect page with URL I just clicked, which isn't what I want).
(2)But if I choose "open the file from its current location", the 2nd popup window replaces the 1st, which also has the "Open ..." and "Save.." options, but it says "You have chosen to download a file from this location, MYFILE.doc from localhost". (notice it shows the correct file name now)
(3) If I choose "Save..." on the 2nd window, IE will save the correct file which is "myfile.doc"; if I choose "Open ...", a 3rd replaces the 2nd window, and they look the same, and when I choose "Open..." on the 3rd window, IE will use Word to open it.
any ideas?
</a>

Did you find a solution to this problem? I've been wrestling with the same issues for the past six months. Nothing I try seems to work. I've tried setting the contentLength(), inline vs. attachments, different write algorythms, etc. I don't get the suggestion to rename the servlet to a pdf file.

Gradient filled background is not showing up in Internet Explorer on a PC.

My gradient filled background is not showing up in Internet Explorer on a PC.
I'm working on a MAC, so I don't know of anyway to preview a new MUSE Site in I.E. since it's no longer supported on a Mac.
When the Home Page is viewed, my blue sky gradient background shows up as a white box?? I need a fix for this please.
Here is my url: www.ThanksSanta.org

Hello,
We might have to look into your .muse file to have a better look into the issue.
I tried it on a sample file but it worked fine for me.
Could you please e-mail your .muse file on [email protected] You can use Adobe SendNow service (https://sendnow.acrobat.com/) to send your file in case it is larger than 20MB.
Please do not forget to mention the link to this forum in your e-mail.

Search hover panel not showing up in Internet Explorer with custom master page

The hover panel is not showing up in internet explorer. I am using a custom master page and it works no problem in the other browsers. When I fire up the debugger there is an error message when i hover over a search result item:
I tried debugging the JavaScript but i am not sure what is going on with it.
Am I missing reference or something done like that? It has to be something simple because I have been scratching my head for a while on this.
Any ideas?
Brad Wight

Have you tried rendering the site in IE Compatability Mode? Compatability Mode solves a lot of problems in this area because older versions of IE had a unique interpretation of HTML code.
Start here:

I trust that answers your question...

How do I insure that Firefox is my full-time browser -- I was using Internet Explorer prior to downloading Firefox. Shud I delete Internet Explorer?

I want to only use Firefox as my full-time browser. I do not want to use Internet Explorer because it doesn't work on a web site I want to use, but Firefox does work. All I want to know is how do I insure that Firefox will be my full-time browser?

Please do the following: 
#Start Internet Explorer. 
#Click Tools | Internet Options and then click the Programs tab. 
#Remove the checkmark from: "''Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser''. 
#Click Apply/OK and then close Internet Explorer. 
#Start Firefox, click the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced. 
#In the General tab, menu at the bottom, checkmark "'''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup'''" and then click the "''Check Now''" button. 
#Click OK.
That's all there is to it.

Adobe pdf won't download from gmail in internet explorer or firefox

What happens when you try to download (not open, just download?)

Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5?

Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5? If yes, where can it be downloaded from?

Only if you run Windows. IE does not work on a Mac without Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App. I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting.
