Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

Unable to set "Fit one full page to window" as scrolling default for every PDF

I am trying to retain "Fit one full page to window" as default for every PDF so that when I open a document and scroll down once, it scrolls to the next full page, rather than chunks. I then need to manually select the option from the menu bar, after which it functions properly. When I change the Default Layout and Zoom to "Fit Page", it merely changes the zoom factor; it doesn't enable the scrolling setting. Is this no longer an option with Acrobat X? I recall being able to do so with previous versions.
I've even tried doing this manually for each PDF by going to File>Properties and setting the initial view similarly. This didn't work, though even if it did it would be too impractical based on how many PDFs I read on a given day.

I've been hoping for an answer to this for awhile. There's really annoying, since one would logically think "Default Layout and Zoom" under the page display contains that setting. Yes, it will affect the zoom, but it has no effect on whether or not the "Fit one full page to window" option is actually selected.
Every time I open a PDF, I have to click that icon, which gets super frustrating since I work with dozens of user manuals every day looking for spare parts, etc.
I really hope someone can answer this.

Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

thanks for your reply. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
yes, I thought my limits were 20 MB, but I let my client talk me into trying to send it anyway (won't be doing that again). I actually spent some time with the apple tech support person (who was awsome!) and he had me delete some files from my mail folder in the Administrator folder and changed some settings in my mail prefernces.
Everything is working fine now.

Com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership

Hey All, I've read several discussions about this issue. The com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership from admin to wheel. Disk Utility repair changes the group membership to admin but it will change back to wheel during normal use of the computer, it seems that accessing systempreferences.app and security preferences will change the group to wheel.
I don't really want to get into a discussion about the wheel account, unless necessary, but since this is a very important system settings file I'd like it to work correctly. I have noticed several issues with the firewall not responding as expected such as turning off by itself, and app settings changing or disappearing from the security preference pane. So, I have deleted the plist file and restarted as recommended on other discussions but the issue always returns during normal use. I think it might be the application owning the plist file causing the issue, but I am not sure which one owns the plist file. I assume it would be systempreference.app since I think it is a firewall plist file. The permissions for systempreferences.app is strange also;
- everyone - custom
- system    - read/write
- wheel      - read/write
- everyone -read
This may be the culprit but I tried to make a minor change, so as not to mess up the operating system, and disk utility repair permissions just puts it back the way it was.   Any ideas about this would be very appreciated.
Note: I have done a complete system reinstall and the issue still returns.

OK, Since I haven't gotten any responses about this it must be a complicated issue. Just as a quick check could some of you good people out there look at the "Get Info" window for the systempreferences.app and see if your permissions look like mine? I'm still having trouble with the firewall settings not acting as expected such as apps and processes that I have approved/denid connection access not showing up in the firewall pane of system preferences and having to reapprove each startup. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media. i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

File type changed to Unix Executable File

Hello:
I restored a corrupt Word file from a back-up drive (files are backed up using a special rsync that splits data and metadata forks. I did not assemble the two forks before copying the file back to the production volume) into a production folder in a local machine. Now when I browse the volume from my networked computer all Word files without extensions show up as Unix Executable Files. I've cleared the Launch services in the networked machine with no results. If I browse from other networked computers file types are set correctly. The problem seems to be with this specific networked machine. What an I do to restore file types as they should be? Please, note the problem seems to be with the client machine not the file server.

Thanks, Kappy. I've tried that but I get an error message saying "An error ocurred while changing...because not enough information is available." Could that mean that the action cannot be done because these files don't have extensions? When I go ahead and select to use Word to always open the file it only takes effect on that file. But the file remains a Unix Executable file.
Could anyone provide any further help with this issue?

You are still under warranty. Call Apple tech support and let them deal w/it.
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Environment fonts keep changing back to default

In order for my UIs to look good on all my deployed systems (usually windows xp or 7) I change all the environmental fonts (Tools>Options>Environmental>Fonts) to Tahoma (and, of course, set the init file to use tahoma for all these fonts). Lately I've been noticing that every once in a while I will open LabVIEW and the fonts will be changed back to their defaults. Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have a good work around? It is frustrating because I usually don't notice this has happened until I've finished aligning multiple elements and then realize I have to change the font and align them again.
Note: I'm developing in LabVIEW 2012 on a Windows 7 pc.

Hey Gollum,
I found what seems to be causing your issue. There is a bug in LabVIEW 2010 and later that causes custom font tokens to be overwritten when any other change occurs in the LabVIEW.ini file. The Corrective Action Request (CAR) ID Number is 256978. The issue was fixed in LabVIEW 2013 (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14541/en/).

Wallpaper keeps changing back to default

I posted this in another forum, by accident.
Here is a video of what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_iESJDAn6g
I'm usually pretty good with my Mac, but I can't figure this one out, for the life of me.
I use my older model Macbook Pro for a media computer. It's hooked up to a surround receiver, by a DVI>HDMI cable and with the optical audio out on the laptop. The surround receiver then goes to my TV, which I use as a display (I keep the laptop closed).
Recently, I've done two new things to my setup:
1. changed the desktop around with Geektool (it now displays the time, date and a calendar)
2. bought a Logitech Harmony 1100 remote to control my media setup.
For some reason, whenever I change from the Macbook Pro to, say, my Xbox, when I come BACK to the Macbook Pro, the wallpaper has changed from what I've chosen to the default wallpaper (from when you first install OS X). When I restart the computer, everything works properly and the wallpaper is back the way it should be, but until then, no matter how many times I change the wallpaper from the 'default,' it always waits about a second and changes itself back.
To be clear, in the Desktop/Screen Saver settings, everything looks how it should look: the wallpaper that I want to be the wallpaper is still selected as the current wallpaper. When the picture on the actual desktop changes, nothing changes in the Desktop/Screen Saver Settings, which is what is so confusing to me. I can pick a wallpaper and have it show up for about a second, at which point the default wallpaper pops up on the desktop (meanwhile, the wallpaper I've selected is still the wallpaper selected in Desktop settings).
It's truly bizarre. I've tried using InsomniaX, to see if maybe there was something weird when the computer was going to sleep (when I change inputs on the surround receiver), but the problem still persists.
I've turned off Geektool and restarted Finder and nothing's happened and I can't imagine that the Harmony is sending a weird code that would make my computer's wallpaper change.
I did a PRAM reset and that didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I suspect Geektool is the culprit. Did you have this problem prior to installing it. If not, then I suggest that you contact Geektool's manufacturer to see if they can come up w/some suggestions.
Have you tried any of the following?
Trashing the desktop.plist file & restarting your computer?
Repairing permissions and/or repairing your disk from the install DVD?

I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Colour option keeps changing back to grey scale

I imported a photo into illustrator CC and I then live traced it and expanded it. When I select it the colour options are grey scale. I can change the option but if I click off the image the options go back to grey scale. The doc colour set up is cmyk. How do I get it to stay on a different option without having to keep switch it all the time?

Step 1 - import colour photo
Step 2 - change colour options and colour mode to cmyk
Step 3 - Image trace default
Step 4 - expand
Step 5 - direct select parts of expanded image to change the colours
Step 6 - open colour options menu and see that it is grey scale
Step 7 - change it again to cmyk and choose a colour
Step 8 - direct select new part of expanded image
Step 9 - goto colour options again which has changed back to grey scale
Step 10 - change again to cmyk and pick a colour
Maybe this is normal behaviour?? But seems really cumbersome to have to keep on changing it for everything I select. I just want it to stay on cmyk not revert to what is selected.
