Can't Preview In Firefox - Mac

Hi all,
Sorry if there is a thread on this alread, but I couldn't find it.
So simple: Running CS4 on a new Mac. I have set firefox and the default preview browser and everytime I try to open preview, it keeps telling me to select a default browser, even though it has been done.
Is there any bugs that anyone is familiar with pertaining to this? CS3 worked fine.
Thanks,
Dave

It could be a bad preferences file. Go to your User Library->Preferences and delete the .plist file with Dreamweaver in the name, then re-add Firefox as the default browser. If that doesn't work can you please confirm the version of Firefox that you are using. This makes it easier for people to see if problems are reproducible, and if it is, it could potentially be a bug in which case it needs to be reported to:

Not all pdf preview in firefox. How do I fix this?

Hi!
When going to Option>Applications and searching for "pdf" 2 options come up in the list:
1 - pdf.
2 - portable document format.
For "portable document format" I can choose "preview in Firefox", but for "pdf" the preview option does not exist (I can just "save" or "alway ask" [and that just gives option to save or open with TWINUI]).
I tried to erase the "mimeTypes.rdf" and then "pdf" disappeared from the list all together leaving just the "portable document format" in the list. All pdf's opened in FF just like I wanted! But that only worked for a short while and "pdf" appeared again in the list with no preview option.
I use FF28 and win8.1 (comes with TWINUI to view pdf).
I didnt want to install more programs like adobe, so I want to open pdf files that are on my computer in FF.
Thanks!

Yep and you can manage the other file types in the Application settings in Preference/Options as you have done before.
There is also a nice add on for previewing both types, I think. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=search]

How can I better use my mac to link it with school work?

I would like to take full advatage of my mac, right now it just seems like I am using it for the internet and word.

Notability is a good app but syncing its work to your Mac is tedious. I believe you can only export it as a PDF and email it to yourself. Then, you can use Preview on your Mac to edit the work, but this is not an ideal solution. If you don't want to lose your Notability work, click its Share icon and send them as emails to yourself, or use Dropbox.
if you have both an iPad and a Mac, you're much better off using Pages or any other iWork app. They are designed to seamlessly integrate your work on both platforms. Use Notes for text; it works the same way. You already have Notes on your iPad as well as your Mac.
I don't recommend Google Drive or Google anything for that matter. Google Drive has had problems with Mavericks and I don't know if Google has fixed them yet. From Apple's presentation yesterday, they're planning on much more integration between Macs and iOS devices including a new service called iCloud Drive.
Google Drive, Dropbox and similar programs are quickly going to be left behind, along with all the problems associated with using them.

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Tried to download version 4, which replaced old 3.6, but I'm getting a message that version 4 will not work with Mac OS 10 (I have OS 10.4.11). How can I download previous Firefox version?

Our CMS does not support new version of Firefox. Can I have the "downgraded" version of Firefox AND the upgraded Firefox both on my Mac, so I can use the older Firefox to manage my CMS?

Essentially, the CMS we use to manage our website (mainstreetartsfest.org) is Sitefinity, and apparently it doesn't support the newest version of Firefox. And, from what I understand, this version of Sitefinity is not being upgraded at the support level - we are now being asked to spend $$ on moving to a new CMS to support the browsers. Chrome, Safari also a problem. Only IE works, and we all have Macs. I want to know if we can have the older Firefox AND the upgraded Firefox both on our computers so we can use the new Firefox for general browsing, and resort to the older, 3.2 version for managing the CMS. I know I can download a previous version - but I would rather not replace our new version of Firefox in the process.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

How can i preview my persona in firefox if not submitted yet firefox 10.0.2

How can i preview my persona in firefox if not submitted yet firefox 10.0.2, I cannot find the option

You can probably do that by installing a persona and replace the two file lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer with your persona files.<br />
Otherwise you need the Personas Plus extension.

Anyway I can continue to use Firefox with my MAC OS X 10.4.11 system?

I have a MAC OS X 10.4.11 operating system. I am using Firefox 3.6.6. I can't upgrade to Firefox 4 because of my operating system. I have just found that I can't even upgrade to 3.6.22 (the download will not complete itself). Does this mean that in the near future I will not be able to use Firefox securely? Is there any way I can be a secure Firefox user in the future with my OS X 10.4.11 system?
Thank you

Firefox 3.6.22 is the latest version available for Mac OSX 10.4 and PPC Macs. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 - which is a "community" version based on Firefox. <br />

June 10 2012 Firefox automatically updated itself (no choice) on my Intel Mac/Tiger 10.4.11. Can no longer use Firefox, so how do I get back the old one?

June 10 2012 Firefox automatically updated itself (no choice) on my Intel Mac/Tiger 10.4.11. I can no longer use Firefox. I have an old version of Firefox on my Mac G4, but am scared to use that machine in case that Firefox also automatically updates itself. How can I transfer a copy of that older version of Firefox (from the G4) to the Intel Mac, and how do I stop both versions from then automatically updating? How do I then remove the updated version of Firefox from the Intel Mac, which I cannot use? Thank you for your help.

esqki FF update to 13 and now you can't open ? sorry about that.
1. Download (with your safari) a copy of the latest (3.6.28) from your 10.4.11 mac
from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded (3.6.28).

If you have access to an Apple Store, the Genius Bar should be able to manually install a version that works with your Operating System.
Be sure to make an appointment though.
AppleCare should be able to help you as well.

Firefox is frozen, mac can't restart and firefox can uninstall because it is open - HELP!

Firefox is frozen, unresponsive script window popped up, can't shut dow Firefox, can't shut down my mac book because Firefox is open and can't uninstall Firefox because it is Firefox is open. How do I unfreeze it?

I recommend trying to disable unnecessary plugins and addons as they might be the root of the problem. You should also update to the latest version.

Can't preview my InDesign files on my Mac

Can't preview my InDesign files on my Mac using QuickLook – just moved up to Adobe CC on Yosemite from CS6 on Mountain Lion – anyone else having similar problems? It's a real pain when you've got thousands of files to search through

You may be using ArtView or SneakPeek from Codeline for providing QuickLook previews. I believe that the previews broke in the last Yosemite update 10.10.2. There's a line at the top of the Codeline website that suggests that an update is coming.

Why I can't see any Firefox browser windows after I open Firefox in Mac?

I open my Firefox as usual, but this time, I can't see any Firefox browser windows come out but only the menu bar on the top was changed into Firefox menu bar. Is there any problem with my Firefox or I accidentally activate some "hiding" function?

I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
* Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
* I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.
