Cannot open folder files in browser window

Since the last 5 or so firefox update, i notice i am unable to open folder
files in the browser window on most of the websites i
have been on. Therefore if i need to upload a file on a website
when i click the open folder button on the website, i am
not seeing the folder window open with all my files on my
computer that i need to select. Instead i have to use another
browser to do all my uploads, and that breaks my momentum.
How can this be corrected?

Hi hardworker2014,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Cannot open .jsp files from browser

    Hi!
    I cannot open .jsp files form the browser.(Some sample jsp files I downloaded open without any problem, only the ones I added, don't- they're in the same directory, with their java files in the web-inf folder.) I have jdk1.2.2,jswdk1.0.1,jsse1.0.1,jsdk2.1. Does the jswdk server support converting jsp to servlets? Also, what do I have to add to jdk classpath for my servlets to be invoked via jsdk? I am confused as to whether I on the jswdk server or the jsdk server for these files to work?

    The error I get on the server while opening the jsp file is -------

  • I cannot open pdf file while browsing on my galaxy tab 10.1, I must download fisrt, why?

    I am wanting to view pdf files while I am browsing on my galaxy tab 10.1. The browser will not open the pdf. I always get the download screen asking what to name the file and where to put it.

    Adobe does not have a pdf plugin for Android. All pdf files will need to be saved and opened with a pdf reader external to the browser.

  • Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

    I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9.  I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window.  It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file.  I have Windows XP.  I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9.  I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail.  Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

    Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out.  I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage.   Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
    Thanks to al that responded.  

  • Cant open pdf files in browser

    Cannot open pdf files in browser but can open from hard drive. Using Adobe 11.0.02 with Windows 8. Have uninstalled Reader and reinstalled and then restarted PC; Checked for updates; used the Repair selection on the menu. Frustrated. Suggestions?

    Hi adityabhargava01-
    My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
    [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    I hope that helps!

  • Adobe Air I cannot open up a popup browser

    I'm having a problem with adobe air. I cannot open up a popup

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

    I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.<br />
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Windows 2k8R2 - Receiving Error when logging in ( MMC Cannot open the File: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

    Windows 2008 R2 - I just started receiving this when i log in, and also when i try to manage the machine:
    MMC Cannot open the File:
    C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc
    This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
    This always worked before, and works for other users just not me on this particular box. This is a production box and i need a resolution quick please. Thanks in advance.

  • After file encryption in Windows 7, Excel cannot open .xlsx file

    I just moved all my files to a new laptop with Windows 7.  I was using Excel 2007 and Windows XP on the OLD laptop.  The NEW laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate and Excel 2010.  I turned on file encryption (via Windows File Explorer) and now I'm
    unable to open most Excel files.  
    The error message says: "Excel cannot open the file 'ABC.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid.  Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
    I can open the file just fine if I use the backup version from the old laptop.  It appears that the Windows 7 file encryption damaged the file from Excel's perspective.  No other applications are showing issues and not all .xlsx files are failing.
    Any ideas, please?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    This is not a solution but a possible work around to see/salvage the contents of your file. If you have a Google Account
    Go to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com)
    Log in with your credentials
    Upload the troublesome files (xlsx, docx etc)
    If you are lucky Google may be able to salvage their contents.
    Once uploaded, you can always download the file from Google in a variety of formats

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

    Hi,
    Looks like your mmc dll is corrupted, with your install and uninstall of software.
    Two Options:
    1. Upgrade the Kernel with latest Patch level, which comes with new SAPMMC.dll file
    OR
    2. Just download the SAPMMC*.sar file from service market place and extract in exe directory, since it is windows re-booting the server doesn't hurt.
    Hope this helps. points are welcome.

  • 'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'

    Hi
    When I try and run SAPMMC on the desk top I get the error :
    'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'
    this is because the file does not exists, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of the MMC'
    I have full permissions on this server, has anyone seen this error before?
    The file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC does exist, infact there is a .1, .2, .3 and .4 version in C:\Windows.
    Thanks for any help.
