Each time I open firefox i receive two unwanted pop ups of the "you have chosen to open..." variety. two for firefox setup and one for a word document how do i stop this?

i open firefox and get two popups that state "you have chosen to open and then its for firefox setup 3.6.1 or beta which i once used and uninstalled. a second is for a file in my documents--always the same file.

Delete downloads.sqlite (plus downloads.rdf, if it exists) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

After download, box which says 'you have chosen to open' 'greys out' after browse button is selected and whole page is frozen/crashed. PC restart neccesary.

Hi Firefox
After I have finished downloading a file the Mozilla Download page appears.
I right click the download to open it and the 'You Have Chosen To Open' box appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen with the 'radio button' already selected to 'Open with..
All this so far is perfectly normal.
However if I click on the 'Browse' button to make a choice then the title at the top of the box, the closing 'cross' and the 'OK' button have all faded to grey and are inoperable.
Furthermore the whole Firefox page is frozen/crashed and can't be closed.
I have no further options than to restart the PC.
I have tried various suggestions I have found on your forums including deleting cookies, turning off the hardware accelerator, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 12.
I have looked at your 'Troubleshooting Information' and it does show a graphics driver problem. However my driver is the lastest nVidia driver for my GeForce FX5200 card and it has worked fine with firefox 12.

Here is the specification of my computer:
MSI K8N Neo motherboard (N1996 MS-7030 VER:1),
an AMD Athlon (tm) 64 processor 3200+ (Socket 754)
3GB of RAM.
It has at present a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.
The system is running Windows XP Professional 32bit with SP3 and all drivers are up to date.
I have used Firefox for many years and would not use anyone else browser ever!
I have not had a problem until now. I do hope you can help me.
Kind Regards

Dear mha007 Your brilliant! Now I have the correct terms it was the 'Opening' box that was freezing and it was the 'Choose Helper Application' that couldn't be accessed.
However I followed the instructions which I have cut n' pasted below and I am sure it was the 'renaming' of the rdf file that put things right.
Thank you very much I am very grateful. Kindest Regards Chris
'''''''Reset download actions for all file types
To reset how all file types are handled by Firefox back to default:
Open your profile folder:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu (on Windows XP, click on the Help menu) and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Open Containing Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click Exit.
Rename the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old .
Restart Firefox. '''''''

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.

Every time I upload photos to Facebook it connects through an IOS folder and attaches to old comments etc, how do I stop this and just upload normally

If you read the user tip you will see that you do not access your photos from the finder but from the upload window in your browser when you log into Facebook and go to upload - in the upload window the media browser in the lawer left hand corner - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

You have chosen to open which is a: application/octet-stream error

I have been getting his error for a very long time now:
you have chosen to open (web address here) which is a: application/octet-stream ehat should firefox do with this file? open - save
i got this from firefox 3, i tried completely uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it
and the same thing happens in firefox 4, which i just uninstalled firefox 3 and did a clean install of firefox 4
it happens randomly and periodically, it seems each new session resets the warnings, and when i click on about 35% of the websites in my speeddial, it will load that warning and a blank tab, after i click the speeddial again, it will work for that site, for the rest of the session..
it seems completely random, sometimes its google.com, sometimes mozilla.com, it could really be anything..
it could be a website in my speeddial, but it also happens sometimes when typing from the address bar
i have done extensive spyware sweeps, and antivirus sweeps for anything out of the ordinary, and i even repaired Windows XP SP2, and then I even upgraded to Windows XP SP3, i have all the updates, etc..
I have 2 computers on this network, and they both do it.
its really driving me crazy.. i even thoght about wiping my entire hard drive and reinstalling XP, but i dont want to do that
i tried IE8, but i hated the lack of speedials and tab options
and I tried Opera but i hated the fact that there were no multiple speedial tabs
and im not fond of chrome or safari for similar reasons..
i've tried a few things i've found online, but nothing really applies to this problem
does anyone have any idea how to fix this so i can keep using firefox?
thanks

Show us the output of
emctl status dbconsoleMost of the times, EM stops with DGCP being enabled on the system after the db's creation. I faced alot of it just 2 days ago when 2 of my boxes stopped EM. So show us the output of the above command and to have an idea of basic EM troubleshooting, read this,

Repeated "You have chosen to open: JuniperSetupClientInstaller.exe

I have just downloaded Firefox. When I first opened it, I got the dialog box "You have chosen to open: JuniperSetupClientInstaller.exe
At the question "Would you like to save this file?", I chose Save File.
So far so good ... except, every time I open Firefox I get exactly the same dialog box.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
please guide

You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

I created two iTunes accounts: one for business purchases and one for personal. However, when I try to purchase an iBook on my personal account only the business account information appears, and my business password is requested. How can I select a different account depending on the type of purchase I am making?

You would have to sign out of the store with that AppleID and sign in with the alternate AppleID.
Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> tap the Apple ID showing, logout, then login.
Beware thought that you can only change a device's AppleID association once every 90 days.

So if you do this, you will not be able to use the other AppleID on that device for 90 days.

hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
I did some troubleshooting..
I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?
