"file upload" window remains open after selecting a file. Have to "force quit" to get it to go away. How can I fix this?

Every time I try to upload a file, the "file upload" window remains open and will not go away unless I force quit Firefox. The window stays in front of all other programs and applications. Is this a problem with Firefox or with OSX? Any idea how to solve it? I've tried clearing the cache & cookies, etc. Should I reinstall Firefox or is there a simpler solution?

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

    Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
    If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites. It sends me back to my home page after I have only been on the site a few minutes. How can I fix this?

    My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites for more than a few minutes . It closes the site and takes me back to home screen. Why and how do I fix this?

    For Safari you could try clearing its cache and history via Settings > Safari.
    For Safari and your other apps you could close them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

    Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
    Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
    As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
    And obviously I want to fix this.
    Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
    Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
    Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
    Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
    Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
    Thanks in advance!

    Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

  • Every time I try to open the firefox application, it won't load and pages and the application freezes. How can I fix this?

    When I open the application, there is one tab that says, "Connecting..." After several seconds, the program crashes and remains that way until I force quit the application. I tried restarting my computer. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, and nothing worked.

    I had the same problem.  I went into software updates and updated security, and two other updates (can't remember exact updates) then restarted my macbook.  My macbook wouldn't start! 
    I found information about restting the SMC (System Management Controller).
    Unplug the power adapter.
    Remove the battery.
    Hold the power button down for 5 secs.
    Reconnect the battery and power adapter.
    Press the power button.
    My Macbook started up and I opened up itunes and the itunes store opened up with images.
    I think the resolution was the software updates, but I'm not 100% sure so I included every step that was made.

  • Some emails do not appear when open, yet if I reply to the email, the text shows in the reply. How can I fix this?

    When I open certain emails, nothing appears except the headers. Yet when I reply to the message, all the text appears. I have made sure that the setting are correct for these accounts. If I open my email in IE 9, everything appears. Is there a way to fix this? IE is my last choice for browsers.
    Thanks.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • The Windows 7 pop up screen at the bottom toolbar does not function with Firefox 4. Instead there are now tabs on top. The Windows 7 feature was handy because one could easily see which pages you're working on. How can I fix this?

    One of the Windows 7 features is the pop up box icon at the bottom toolbar which displays which pages are open when scrolling over it. After installing Firefox 4 this function does not work anymore, instead it was replaced by Firefox tabs above.

    I believe you are talking about taskbar previews. To enable them you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''

  • When I click and open my Firefox browser ,it always opens to Firefox welcome page ,NOT my google search page , which is my home page , how can I fix this , I have to always have to close FF before I can search !!??

    Can you help me figure out how to stop Firefox from opening to welcome page / updated window, I have to close that before I can use my google search page ,which is my homepage !!

    You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
    If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/prefs.js_file prefs.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] isn't corrupted.

  • Firefox will not open my email client when I click on a "mailto" link on any website. How can I fix this.

    Anytime I drag my cursor across, or try to click on a "mailto" email link on any webpage, it will display an incorrect e-mail address (it seems to default to one in particular). It will not open a new e-mail window and if I "copy e-mail address" it's the wrong one. I've tried everything and was hoping with new updates the problem would solve itself but obviously it hasn't.
    HELP ! This is driving me CRAZY

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • I have been creating a document in numbers on my iPhone and synced to iCloud. Now I cannot open it, and when trying to download via browser I get an error message. How can I recover this document?

    Dear all,
    I have created a document on my iPhone, and stored it on iCloud. I have updated the document both on my iPhone and on my iPad. Now, I cannot open the document on my iPhone anymore, even a reset of the phone did not help. Via iPad I also cannot open the file, and when I try to download it to my PC via icloud.com I get an error message.I suspect that the file has become corrupt as I have updated it on the iPhone while I did not have network connectivity.
    I have two questions:
    1.) Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?
    2.) What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
    3.) Does the iPhone sync changes to iCloud in the background or does the application need to be active?
    Thank you,
    Niftan

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.
