Can't set Firefox as default JPEG viewer

When I double-click on a local JPEG file, I want it to load into Firefox. However, when I try to "Choose default program", Firefox isn't listed as an option. I can browse to firefox.exe in the dialog box, but doing so doesn't select it or add it to the list of options. Why is this? How can I force Windows to use Firefox as the default viewer?

Ok, I tried that and, for the record, it did nothing to fix my problem. Here's what did fix it: I did some digging through the registry, along with a lot of Googling, and found the entry that was causing the problem -
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\firefox.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\''{the path to an old (and since uninstalled) version of}''\\firefox.exe\" \"%1\""
It seems that many of these newer Windows features can't handle it when you try to keep more than one version of a program installed - or even if you install two unrelated programs that happen to have the same executable name. Once I pointed this entry to my current installation of Firefox, everything started working the way it should - although I shudder to think how confused it'd get if I were to install two different programs both called "example.exe". However, even though this is more of a Windows problem, you would think the Firefox installer would know to look for and correct errors like this.

How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
Thank you for your help.

You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

Can you also set the default programs in the Group Policy User Settings?

Can't set Firefox as default browser even after following steps in Firefox support

Can't set Firefox as my default browser even after following the steps outlined in Firefox support. Operating Firefox on Snow Leopard with Windows 7 running under Parallels. Clicking on links in emails, etc. always opens IE 8 in Windows instead of Firefox on the Mac
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view. Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online. And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id.
Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly). Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Spiro,
1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.
Hope this helps,

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function. Contact your carrier to see if they have this option. If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name. Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

How to set Firefox as default browser in Mac OS X via console

I would like to set Firefox as default browser via the command line in Mac OS X. The goal is to enforce Firefox as default browser for all users of a Mac OS X system by means of a login script. I am also looking for a way to add Firefox to the user's dock from a login script.

Launch Safari and open its preferences. You set the default browser there.
Not very logical is it? I think a Microsoft plant came up with that one.

Setting a custom default List View-

When in List View I have created by own "custom" list by sliding the items (Name, Time, Artist, Rating, Year, etc) left and right in the order I want....
But I have to do this for every new Playlist I create.
Is there way to set your own "default" list view, or copy an existing view?
I'm using iTunes 9.

The view for all new playlists will be copied from your Library - Music view.
To update playlists to match your current library view see this -> Assimilate View Options v2.2
"This script re-creates a selected playlist (excepting playlists within folders and the "special" playlists Purchased, Podcasts, iTunes DJ (Party Shuffle), Audibooks, TV Shows, and Movies) so its View Options are the same as the main Music library (taking advantage of the fact that new playlists acquire the Music library's View Options)."

Basic HTML Can I set Firefox to automatically load pages as 'Basic HTML'?

Will loading pages as "Basic HTML" load faster?
Pages take 30 - 60 seconds, downloads OK at 1 MB a minute.
Some sites, e.g. Yahoo Mail, have a button to load faster as Basic HTML. Can other sites load as Basic HTML?
So: Can I set Firefox to automatically load as Basic HTML if that site can be?
(Firefox 3.6.15, Windows XP, 2MB RAM, ISP is Hughes satellite in Virginia, USA.)

You can look at:
* Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1865
You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).
