Can WORD open automatically in Firefox?

When I want to copy something from a website and paste it into a WORD document, I have to make sure WORD is open and a new doc is selected. Before I changed to Firefox I think I remember that there was a command (maybe in the EDIT or FILE command) to "edit with Word" and when I clicked that, the selection would automatically paste into a new doc. Is there any way to do that with Firefox?

The key might be Windows 7, not Explorer or Firefox.
Go to Start menu and pick "Default Programs" Choose "Set Your Default Programs". Select "Firefox" from the list to the left Click on "Set this program as default"
Without exiting window, choose "Thunderbird" from same list at the left. Click "Set this program as default"
You can do this with as many programs as you like.
Then click "OK" button at bottom right of window.
I did not have to reboot. Hope this works for you!

  • Can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture. I'm using mac os 10.5.8

    Been using Firefox (many years) version 3.16.. Received invitation to download Firefox version 4 for Mac this morning and did so (regretably losing 3.16 version) because now the new version 4 won't open. I just keep getting the error message "You can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture." I'm using the latest Mac OS 10.5.8. The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5.
    I trashed the first download and downloaded a 2nd Firefox version 4 and had the same results.

  • Message: You can't open the application Firefox because it may be damaged or incomplete

    I've been using Firefox for a long time. Today I decided to change the settings to delete my history when I closed the window. Now when I try to open up Firefox I get a continuous pinwheel. I deleted Firefox from my computer and reinstalled, but it still won't work. There's now a grey icon titled Firefox with a square and a circle and line through it. When I try to delete this icon, it won't let me, saying Firefox is still running. When I try to open the icon, I get the following message: "You can't open this application Firefox because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    Any suggestions on what to do?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • [Solved] Thunderbird can't open link in Firefox after update

    Today there were updates for Thunderbird and Firefox (and a few other). After that Thunderbird can't open links with Firefox. If I click on a link nothing happen. I started Thunderbird from terminal, and when I clicked on a link I got this message:
    ** (thunderbird-bin:6130): WARNING **: Could not launch default application for URI: Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/firefox-7.0/firefox" (No such file or directory)
    I checked /usr/lib and the folder for Firefox was directly under it, no folder "firefox-version" in between. I guess one must change the path somewhere for Thunderbird to find Firefox. Where to change that? I have looked both in the menus in Thunderbird, and in the Thunderbird folders in my home and in /usr/lib, but I  don't see the path to Firefox anywhere.

    Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    This resolved my problem
    I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case)  the same thing.  There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin.  I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin.  Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin.  Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

  • How can I open Pandora via Firefox?

    OS 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.13. Always opened Pandora Radio via Firefox until last week, when it opens to a page that says, "Oh man. Our servers must be down or something." I am able to open Pandora via Safari. How can I open Pandora via Firefox?

    The more usual method may be to leave a Firefox window open and use tabbed browsing, rather than leaving just the History Library running whilst Firfox is otherwise not in use.

    Also maybe you may consider working from Bookmarks rather than history, and note that Firefox may be set to start with the previous tabs reopening

  • I can't open documents in Firefox

    I can't open any files from Firefox. PDFs, Excel, etc. It used to work, and it still works fine in Internet Explorer, so it has to be this browser. What's up with it? It's getting to be so annoying I'm considering ditching Firefox.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

  • I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

    I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
