Everytime I click a link to view a wmv file the save or open dialog comes up. Do this automatically for files like this from now on is checked.

Firefox 4.0.1 ... I am running XP Home, Sp-3.
The dialog box keeps coming up. In Options/Applications
the item is set to open with the plugin.
Still the dialog come up each time, then the downloader appears and finally windows media player.
My vista machine does not have this problem. I have installed the Windows Media Player Plugin.
IE opens media player immediately.

If you can't find it there then you will have to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

    Adobe really does have the worst customer service/tech support of any product I have ever experienced. It is so unfortunate.

  • When downloading a file, I select "Save File", but I'm unable to check the box label "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." The box is faded out. It's very tedious when you have to select "Save File" everytime

    Click on the file to download
    The "Open" Dialog Box pops up
    Select "Save File"
    Try to click on the box labeled ""Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
    The box is disable

  • How do you view a .wmv file on a Mac?

  • Open new tab from any webpage, click any link on new tab, waits till the page is loaded and try to go back one page on new tab (arrow is disabled).

    It happens whenever I open new tab from any wabpage. Once the tab is opened and initial webpage is loaded I may use any link to jump on another, second webpage in same tab. However, if I want to go back on initial webpage I can't do it cause that option (arrow) is disabled. I could use link on second webpage to jump on third, and only at that moment go back option becomes available again. However, I could not ever go back on initial webpage any more. As initial webpage has never existed.
    It happens quite often (95%).

    Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to from the list.
    If the list is too long to display via the Back button, hit CTRL+H, change the view to "Last Visited" and then load it from there instead.

  • Clicking a link to a Word doc and it tries to open it with Adobe Acrobat

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on my Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. I have Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3 and Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) installed. I clicked on a link to a MS Word doc and I got a dialog box asking what I wanted to open it with. The default option is Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3, which, of course fails with an error message saying it is not a supported file type. I looked at the other options and Microsoft Word is not among them.

    Save the Word document. Create your email in your normal mail application (Mail?), click on the add attachment icon (the paperclip if you are using Mail). Navigate to where you saved the Word file and select it. It should now appear as an attachment in your email. If you are sending it to a PC user and you are using Mail make sure 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in the edit menu. And if you don't want the attachment to display inline within the body of the email Control+Click on it and select 'view as icon'.

  • When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

    When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

  • Since I updated to latest firefox version, every time I click a link or in a box a google play window opens up

    Since I updated to the latest release of Firefox a few days ago every time I click a link or in a dialog box (like this one) or try to pin something in Pinterest a google play window opens up. I have no new pluggi-ns and no add-ons. I have also scanned my cpu for viruses and none was found. What is causing this issue, which is driving me crazy, and how can it be fixed?

    To eliminate if it is a corrupted add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist add on. This will tell you if its a combination. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    Also sometimes one virus scanner will not detect a virus that another one would. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Opening A Link In New Window, While Leaving The Existing Webpage Open

    Hi,
    When I click on a link in a page, I want a new window to open with the contents of that link, leaving the 'linked from' page still open on my monitor. I don't want the existing 'linked from' page disappearing when the 'linked to' page opens on top of it. I don't think that in Internet Explorer, which I was using before, that the previous page disappeared in the way it does on Safari. I continually find myself losing the page I want to keep while I open another. In Preferences>General, I have tried to set Safari up to work the way I describe above, but I can't seem to find the right default procedure.
    Or,
    How do I leave the departure window open, and below the arrival window, when clicking a link from the former to the latter?
    Thanks,
    Rafael

    Hi,
    the only way I know of the is to go to file and click for a new Window.
    Sounds like tabs maybe your thing, from Safari's Helpviewer. for more info look there.......
    To turn on tabbed browsing, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Tab. Select Enable Tabbed Browsing.
    To open a link or bookmark in the bookmarks bar in a new tab, hold down the Command key and click the item, or hold down the Control key, click the item, and choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.
    To open a bookmark collection in the bookmarks bar or a folder of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Library in tabs, hold down the Control key, click the collection or folder, and choose Open in Tabs from the shortcut menu.
    If you select the Auto-Click checkbox for a folder in the bookmarks bar, then you can open all the bookmarks in the folder in tabs by clicking the folder name in the bookmarks bar.
    To open a webpage in a new tab, choose New Tab from the File menu and type the address for the page.
    To close a tab, click the close button in the tab.
    To quickly switch between tabs, press Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-].
    To show a webpage that is in a tab and close all other tabs, hold down the Option key and click the close box in the tab you want to remain open.
    When you click a link in a page you are viewing in a tab, the page opens in the current tab. Click the Back and Forward buttons in the address bar to scan pages you have opened in a tab.
    If you choose a page from the History or Bookmarks menu, the page opens in the current tab.
    Hope it helps you do what i think you are looking for.
    Cheers

  • Importing my video from my event library into my project library, it shows the full width of the clip, but on the viewing section, it's zoomed in and cut the sides of the video off.  How do I stop this from happening?

    When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
    narrowing the width of my footage.  How do I stop this from happening?

    In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
    Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
    You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
    I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

  • When holding on a link, why don't I have the option to open in a new tab?
