File association in Gnome with Firefox Beta/Aurora/Nightly not working

Wiki instructions only seem to work with Firefox in the repos.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Oracle JInitiator issue with Firefox 3 and IE7 - not working!

Hi,
I'm accessing the oracle apps server through VPN using a Windows Vista system running Firefox 3 and IE 7. I'm able to log on and access the self service pages correctly. But I'm unable to access the form based pages. If I use the JInitiator 1.3.1.21, both browsers crash (though Firefox says missing plugin and mentions this version only). On installing higher versions of the plugin (28, 30), IE 7 keeps giving the message "installing components...oajinit.exe" and there is no more progress.
Could anyone please let me know what could be the issue and how to resolve it.
Thanks in advance!

As I don't have access to metalink yet, can you tell me for my configuration what is certified and what browser I should use? I already mentioned that my OS is Vista and I have IE7. I realise that IE6 cannot run on Vista and now Firefox 3 cannot be used. So what JInitiator should I use for IE 7?The currently supported desktops for Release 11i include:
- Win2K / WinXP + IE6 / Firefox 2.x
- WinXP + IE7 / Firefox 2.x
- Mac OS X v10.3.9 + Safari 1.3 and higher
- Mac OS X v10.4.7 + Safari 2.0 and higher
- Vista desktop clients running the native JRE plug-in on IE 7 ***
*** Oracle JInitiator Not Certified for Vista Desktops: Oracle JInitiator 1.3 will not be certified for Vista desktops. Jinitiator 1.3 is based on JDK 1.3. JDK 1.3 is not compatible with Vista. No new updates to JInitiator are planned for Vista.

What type is version 35.0.1for firefox browser? Release/beta/Aurora/nightly/ESR

The following webpage(http://www.geek.com/news/firefoxs-four-release-channels-explained-1489525/) says that Release versions are released every 6weeks.If that be so then how come v36.0 , v36.0.1 , v36.0.3 , v36.0.4 are relese channel versions ?
the particular release pages mention "Version 35.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on January 26, 2015"
Version 35.0, first offered to Release channel users on January 13, 2015
Firefox Notes
Version 36.0, first offered to Release channel users on February 24, 2015
Version 36.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on March 5, 2015
Version 36.0.3, first offered to Release channel users on March 20, 2015
Firefox Notes
Version 36.0.4, first offered to Release channel users on March 21, 2015
(Pls look at the dates.)
Thanking you

I explained what the 36.0, 36.0.1, v36.0.3 and v36.0.4 are at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1055806
The first version is the Major Release version. The last number like say 36.'''.4'''.0 was a chemspill update to do stability and or security fixes. These minor versions are not Releases. Ideally there is no minor updates.
As you can see with previous Firefox Releases like 30.0, 26.0, 22.0, 21.0 for example on https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ there were no updates for them as there was nothing that warranted a stability and or security fix before next Release at time.
Release/beta/Aurora/nightly/ESR are the main channels.
Current as of this post:
Release channel currently has 37.0.1 as you can see at www.mozilla.org/firefox/all
Beta = 38.0b# and currently has [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/ 38.0b1]
Aurora = 39.0a1
Nightly = 40.0a1
The Beta channel can have say six to twelve builds for a version.
Aurora is now called Developers Edition and both Aurora/Nightly gets checkins almost everyday so they get a update each of those days. Due to checkins they can be unstable at times until problem checkin(s) is fixed or backed out next update. These two channels are more for Testers and Devs and those who at least know how to manage separate folder installs and Profiles for each as they are not meant for regular Firefox users.
[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ ESR is short for Extended Support Release] and is currently based on Firefox 31.0 and the current Release version is [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ 31.6.0esr]. The second number like say the 6 in 31.'''6'''.0 esr goes up one version (next will be 36.7.0 esr) in line with the next Firefox Release (which will be 38.0) and the last number goes up if a chemspill update is warranted.
When Firefox 38.0 is Released the next ESR will be based on it.

Different program file associations in GNOME Trash folder

So, for example, I've set up GNOME to run all *.avi files with mplayer. Now if I delete an *.avi file to a Trash folder and run it from there Banshee is used as a default associated program. In fact, mplayer is not in the "Open With..." sub-menu (only in Properties for this file but it is ignored anyway as I just described.)
I've no idea why GNOME acts this way but I can provide some background information that might help pinpointing the real issue here. I first ran KDE on my Arch Linux setup. Somewhere along the way I decided to try GNOME and so I installed it alongside with KDE. When I first ran GNOME I had many files associated with KDE's programs (torrent files for instance).
I'm relatively new to GNOME and maybe I should've clicked some magic button that re-creates an index of file association for GNOME but so far I haven't discovered one
So, what can be done about this issue?

Anyone having a trouble like that?

I would like my google toolbar back and all my icons gmail and now with firefox 5 it is not compatiable why did you not ask me before taking them away with upgrade?????

I would like to roll back to previous version of Firefox that I had, because the upgrade took away Google toolbar which I loved and the g mail icons and Google this and that I had and now your Firefox is not compatible with Google tool bar so I cannot re-install them. Can I have the prior version back of Firefox.

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?
Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

Question

Details

As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Hi I am running a dual core Win7 64bit PC with Firefox Regular and Nightly on it. I also have 32bit Win XP Virtual PC on the same PC with Firefox... How do I sync all of them to give me the same bookmarks, history, cookies and passwords ??? TIA... Rick...

I assume that you have separate Profiles for the Release and Nightly installations.

Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.

Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.

I have Roboform Pro, I don't want to down grade to Lite. Roboform is working, but I can't get the full Toolbar to display all that shows up is the Show Toobar icon and nothing happens when I click it. So I can't fill in log on forms. Isn't there a way to get the pro version to work?
Thank you for your input and trying to answer my questions.

Question
HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

Vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history

vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history

I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.

Beta games will not work at all.

When I download beta games into peazip or anotherzip file. they either throw components of the game all over my desktop or, if I put it in a new folder, just do not work. All regular games work fine using this method, just beta games will not work. I extract from zip file onto my desktop in new file, open the exe. in that file to a blank black page. Called HP, they could not help me! I am going crazy with this,as my computer is only a few months old! HELP!!! Thank you very much to anyone who knows how to fix this problem! God bless!

Terri, welcome to the forum.
When you say beta games, I want to make certain that I understand what you mean. Is this a developer (Beta) or games that are in the beta testing stage? If they are beta test games, it isn't surprising that you are having problems. Beta test games simply, in many cases, are not ready for prime time. The best way to handle them is by checking to see if there are patches available. It would be rare, but possibly the only way to get them to work properly.

Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working

Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working - get blank screen. Tried to upload PDF to mobile me and link to that file - also didn't work. I'm not familiar with iFrames but have read about them in this forum - is that my only option? Why wouldn't a KN export work?
Thanks, Brian

I have just tried this with a test site and publishing to a folder and it does work perfectly for me.
I had a Keynote document already so all I did was click on File and then selected the Print option. I then selected the save as pdf option the the pdf document was created on my desktop instantly.
All I then did was open iWeb and type some words in a text box My Prices. I then highlighted My Prices and opened the Inspector and went to Hyperlink and clicked on the option Hyperlink to a file. I then selected the pdf file from my desktop.
I then used ftp to a folder on my desktop and when I opened the appropriate page, I click on the words My Prices and the pdf file opened straight away.
As OT has suggested, check that you have linked to the correct file. If it does not work, either you have not created the pdf correctly or at all or you have not linked to the correct file.
As I said, it worked for me.

How do I set Firefox 10.0.2 to be default browser in Windows 7, using a script or setup switch. "Firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser" does NOT work.

I want to set Firefox as default browser for all my users.
I can do this by opening Firefox and go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced and hit the "Check now" button. That works fine, but I need to accomplish this automatically.
Running setup with the -setDefaultBrowser switch does NOT work. Running "firefox.exe -silent -SetDefaultBrowser" after setup does NOT work.
Is this even possible? Or are we stuck with IE?

Thank you for your reply, however it really does not work for me.
I have Firefox installed, as well as Internet Explorer 9. If I check "Default Programs --> Set Default Programs" in Windows 7 it states that Internet Explorer is default.
If I create a shortcut on my desktop that points to "www.mozilla.org" for example, and double-click that shortcut, it will open in Internet Explorer.
I now run "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" with administrative privileges.
I look again in "Default programs" and i still says IE is default browser. If I click on my shortcut it still opens in IE.
If I change the setting manually from within Firefox it works fine.
Please help, I really can't make this work.
