File associations not working correctly in Firefox

Hi,
I'm using Firefox 3.5.3 on KDE 4.3.2 and have configured Firefox to open files with the "xdg-open" tool. That way you should be able to double-click on files in the download list to open them directly.
However, Firefox does not use the preferred applications I have chosen in KDE to open a specific type of file. For example it opens whaawmp instead of smplayer for video files.
When I run xdg-open from a terminal it opens the correct application. Maybe it uses Gnome settings when invoked by Firefox?
How can I fix this, so that Firefox uses my KDE file-type settings?

I don't know how to import the KDE mime-types into Firefox but...
You can change the incorrect associations for filetypes from within Firefox -- from the menu bar select 'Edit > Preferences > Applications'. Choose the 'Content Type' you wish to change by clicking on it and a dropdown box will appear in the next column. Then just pick the appropriate program or action.

"back" button does not work correctly in Firefox 4. I have downgraded because of this.

Our intranet has a page (1) from which user generates a list of links to other items (page2). Follow one of these links to page (3). Press "back" - returns to page (1) not page (2). Works ok in Firefox 3.6.17.

Instructions for a clean installation then. 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

Lightroom 2.0: Save Metadata to File is not working correctly!

Hi,
I have this JPG file with no EXIF data whatsoever but I know it's capture time so I went to "Metadata » Edit Capture Time" and changed the capture time. On Lightroom in the Library module, I can see the capture time but then I save the metadata with "Metadata » Save Metadata to File". However, when I check the file on Windows Explorer, the capture time (or date taken as named by Windows) is not specified at all.
Why isn't the "Save Metadata do File" working correctly?

> Ok, this problem was working on only a specific file, so I just re-exported the file and it's all good.
Exporting to a JPEG and writing metadata to the original JPEG is two different things.
My experience was that when saving xmp metadata, LR does not create an EXIF section in a file where it was initially missing (And that's a common scenario with scanned film). The date and time information is only stored in the embedded xmp, of which Windows Explorer does not know a thing.
When exporting your original to a JPEG, that's a completely different thing. You create a new file, rather than modifying your original. SO, Lightroom will create a brand new valid jpeg with a valid exif section and everything.

Paypal button not working correctly in Firefox but does with IE

On the Donate page of www.jnh-goneriding.org are several Paypal buttons with drop down options. When you choose anything other than the first line and click on Buy Now - when it goes to the next screen it only shows the first line - not the line you picked in the drop down.
This works correctly in Internet Explorer.

Firefox will show the link if nothing is blocking it...
In case an ad blocker, script blocker, or another extension is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Database file views not working correctly

I have recently set up an Access database on my local
coldfusion server. When I go to the application panel and go to the
'databases' tab, I can see a list of my databases just fine. The
problem is that, when I open the individual tables of a database
I've created, the files show up as the path to the file and not the
file name as it normally should. For example, I'm working through a
lynda.com tutorial and have build a database called 'teacloud'.
When I open the teacloud tables in Dreamweaver, they should show
the individual names of the tables, like the following:
Products
ProductTypes
Reviews
Users
UserTypes
Instead, I get the following:
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\database\teacloud.Products
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\database\teacloud.ProductTypes
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\database\teacloud.Reviews
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\database\teacloud.Users
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\database\teacloud.UserTypes
How do I get rid of the file path structure to where
Dreamweaver simply shows the Table name only? This is very
annoying, as it prevents me from being able to see the individual
table names in many of the functions within Dreamweaver.

The problem was introduced during the CF 7.01 update. I
understand that the
7.02 update fixes the issue.

Problems with javascript not working correctly, have firefox version 15.0.1. Javascript enabled in tools option. What else should I be looking at?

Certain websites do not load correctly, the webpage sometimes does not display. Upgraded to current version of Java, this did not solve the problem. The most blatant thing I noticed is that when I hit the plus button to open a new tab, the page that displays displays my nine most favorite websites, all nine have descriptions, but only two or three display the actual web page.
I also have hotmail and when I try to load some pages directly from the e-mail I get the message Javascript needs to be enabled.

Are you using any cleanup software like CCleaner that might cleanup the cache?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Standalone PDF file system not working correctly

I have built a website http://greatayton.wikidot.com/ where one PDF Menu file calls up lots of other PDF files.
I now want to use the same menu system to call PDF files on a PC hard disk with the Internet turned off.
I used hyperlinks to link from the PDF Meny to the PDF files.
This works but first calls up Internet Explorer then displays the actual file which makes the operation slow and unweildy.
How do I just get the hyperlinks to call up the PDF files?
Thanks
Mike

Index does not work correctly in Firefox

I use WebHelp in Robohelp and had created my Index with the
index wizard. I recently had complaints about wrong topics opening
when using the index. This does not happen with content. I have not
looked closer at search to see if it is happening here.
When I went back to troubleshoot, I discovered that all the
links were correct. Further investigation showed that the problem
was only happening in Firefox not in IE. The problem also did not
occur all the time. I then realized that it was isolated to topics
within books or secondary level topics. The first time that you
click on a link that is a sublevel in your TOC it would go to the
main topic (book level). The breadcrumb only shows that level. But
the next time you would click on a link it would go one level
further (topic page level). So, if you clicked on the link twice,
the first time it would go to the level above and the second time
it would go to the correct level. (First click breadcrumb AA>BB
and the second click AA>BB>CC. The first click should take it
to the second example, not the first.) This only happens in Firfox.
I am viewing it in Firefox 3.0.1. Is there a work around for this?
I do not know how to correct it. The only solution I have is to
eliminate the index altogether which would not be fun since I also
have a custom created skin that includes the index that would need
to be redesigned.

Welcome to the forum.
When you say delete the index, I think you mean delete the
TOC?
This is a known problem with Firefox. You have books with
links to topics. If you remove those and have the required topic
immediately below the book, the problem will go away.

Batch File is not working correctly

Hey Everyone,
I've got a batch file that I'm trying to get to work and seem to be running into difficulties on getting the whole batch file to work. I'm guessing that I have something missing or incorrect. What
I'm trying to accomplish is we currently have Java versions 7.0.45 both x64 & x86 platforms installs on all production client machines. My batch file will uninstall the x86 version of Java 7.0.45 and theninstall the
latest version of Java 7.0.51 x86 without any problems. It's the x64 that my batch file is running into problems and does not uninstall it or install the new version of java (7.0.51 x64).
Here's what my batch file looks like:
@ECHO OFF
cls
:KillIE&JavaProcesses
echo *** This will kill Browsers and Java Processes
Rem ***
taskkill /F /IM iexplorer.exe
taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe
taskkill /F /IM firefox.exe
taskkill /F /IM chrome.exe
taskkill /F /IM jusched.exe
taskkill /F /IM jp2launcher.exe
taskkill /F /IM java.exe
taskkill /F /IM javaw.exe
taskkill /F /IM jqs.exe
rem cd x64
rem msiexec.exe /i jre1.7.0_51.msi /qn AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 EULA=1 /NORESTART /log c:\java_7_51_x64_install.log
rem cmd.exe /C rmdir "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Java" /S/q
rem cd..
cd x86
msiexec.exe /i jre1.7.0_51.msi /qn AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 EULA=1 /NORESTART /log c:\java_7_51_x86_install.log
cmd.exe /C rmdir "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Java" /S/q
The CM 2012 exemgr log shows that the batch file installed successfully. Please help.
Thanks!

Can't really tell without you posting more details. Here are a few pointers:
Don't use relative paths such as CD X86. Use absolute paths instead:
CD F:\X86.
There is no process called "iexplorer.exe". It should be "iexplore.exe".
What is the point of spawning an extra command processor to remove a folder?
Why do you try to delete the Java folder twice?
Did you invoke the batch file from a Console so that you can see the messages it generates?
What were these messages?
Did you run the batch file under elevated admin privileges?
Try this version:
@ECHO OFF
echo *** This will kill Browsers and Java Processes ***
taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe
taskkill /F /IM firefox.exe
taskkill /F /IM chrome.exe
taskkill /F /IM jusched.exe

Two Macs Networked, file sharing not working correctly

Okay, I've had a Mac Pro since February this year and it has been connected to a new iMac since about two days ago. Both computers can see each other on the ethernet network (their respective icons appear in the Finder sidebar). However, something weird is happening because not only are the correct "iMac" and "Mac Pro" icons showing, but also Windows "blue screen of death" icons are appearing also! These icons are named "mac001ffXXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX are a bunch of numbers. I can access the other computer's files by clicking on EITHER the official Mac icons in the sidebar, OR by clicking on the "blue screen of death" icons.
It should be noted that a Windows XP computer is also a part of this network. I currently have only the AFP sharing option selected (I did have both AFP and SMB, but I disabled SMB because Windows sharing is not really needed), but still the old Windows icon is appearing alongside the iMac icon -- both icons applicable to the iMac.
I believe this problem is connected to the file sharing issue I am having. While folders I have shared on the iMac can be seen by the Mac Pro, files on the Mac Pro for which I have specified Read and Write guest access to "Everyone" are not visible on the iMac -- the only way to access these files is to log in as a Registered User. I have tried a whole bunch of different things, but nothing seems to work. I was under the impression that communication between two Macs would be completely problem-free!
So is there something I am missing, or is it a Leopard issue?

A simple possibility is that you just don't have also have "Personal File Sharing" turned on for the Macs.
Otherwise, I bet it's on the PC end. Under windows filesharing (SMB), one machine will take control as the server. When there is a PC on the net, the Macs will generally cede that responsibility to the PC Try watching for that in the console log: take all the CPUs off the net, bring a Mac on, then the PC, open the "Console" app on the Mac, and look at the messages. If the problem -is- on the PC end, I'm sorry, but I'm not PC-savvy enough to tell you how to fix it. Hopefully, this will get you closer.

Flash not working correctly; Chrome & Firefox

I use to use Firefox exclusively and had Flash installed as a plugin and it worked fine. I accidentally un-installed it and then reinstalled it. Since then it will not load pages completely; only partially. I then got Chrome and it does the same thing. I am trying to use Flash to view job postings on the Accountemps & Robert Half websites. Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating

I had the same problem, so what I did was I went to chrome://plugins/ and hit the details for flash, and there were 3 versions of it under details, I just uneabled 2 and ran one until it worked. Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 this one was causing the issue , This one worked Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 , this one also caused the issue Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402.

History does not work correctly in Firefox when setting base tag?

It looks like there's a bug in history.js that makes Firefox work incorrectly with History when the <base> tag is set in the HTML that runs the Flex object.
We are not using the Flex-generated HTML, because of the way our application is built and one of the things that is different in the HTML that we run the Flex object in is the presence of the <base> tag.
The <base> tag is set in our case to http://www.ufxbank.com/fr, and the full URL of the page with Flex is http://www.ufxbank.com/fr/trading.aspx.
What happens is that the function setDefaultURL in history.js in its "if (browser.firefox || browser.opera)" part makes a call to "window.location.replace" with the value of "#", which in our case replaces the location to "http://www.ufxbank.com/fr/#", which brings a different page in the browser.
I had to replace the code in history.js to be "var newloc = window.location + "?#" + def;" instead of the original "var newloc = "#" + def;".
Does anyone has a better solution?
Is it a bug in the template that should be fixed?

Welcome to the forum.
When you say delete the index, I think you mean delete the
TOC?
This is a known problem with Firefox. You have books with

Process Multiple Files is not working correctly

When using Process Multiple Files to resize several images, the resulting files are way too small. I am resizing to 12"x8" at 150dpi which used to result in about a 2 meg file. Now the files are about 200k. Something has changes and I can't find it. Help!

Hi,
I don't have access to my ECC 6 system right now, I would check 2 things:
1) it is possible that the BAdI definition class (for classic BAdIs, it is usually CL_EX_BATCH_MASTER) has been changed manually by SAP, and they removed the LOOP, or have added an EXIT right before the ENDLOOP. I know they sometimes do it.
2) I would check if the BATCH_MASTER classic BAdI has been migrated to new BAdI, in that case I think you should migrate your BAdI implementations
3) Just to be sure: if an implementation raises an exception, that's normal that the other implementations are not executed.

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
Thank you and I hope this helps!
