Firefox 3.6.8 appends ".jpeg" to all .jpg files I save. Make this stop, please!

right-click an image (on a cookbook page).
select Save Image
The Save-as dialog opens, and the file is given the default name “cookies.jpg.jpeg”
I either have to manually edit and remove the ”.jpeg” from the save dialog box, or I have to open a DOS box in the the directory containing the image(s) and issue the command:
ren *.jpeg *.

Append line into all.js file to include in the Mozilla config file

I need to make settings globally to Firefox 23. To lock the settings the instructions state to:
Append line into all.js file to include in the Mozilla config file
The problem is, I cannot locate the all.js in the firefox directory. Also the changes do not appear to act globally on a public machine. The changes stay in my profile. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

hello, please implement the preferences lock file as it's described at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

When Firefox loads, a second window opens that is just a counter. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

When Firefox loads for the first time, a second window opens that is just a counter. I've downloaded a lot of add-ons. I thought it might be the piano add-on so I removed it but that didn't stop it. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

Safari appends .dot to all .doc files after Word 2008

I am having a weird problem with Safari which may be caused by incompatibilities with Office 2008.
Since upgrading to Office 2008 (and also trashing my entire system then installing Office 2008 for scratch), Safari is having this nasty habit of appending .dot to all .doc downloads.
For example, on the following site, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=311f4be8-9983-4ab0-9685 -f1bfec1e7d62&displaylang=en if I download "Deploying Vista Step by Step Guide.doc", Safari will save it as "Deploying Vista Step by Step Guide.doc.dot" which is rather unhelpful.
The knowledge base article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304155) suggests that the problem is due to web server configuration - but this does not seem to be the case, because it did not happen before I installed Office 2008.
Using the "misfox" preference pane (http://mac.clauss-net.de/misfox/) I think the problem appears to be that the MIME type application/msword is associated with the file extension .dot rather than .doc
Is anyone else encountering the same issue?
(I am running Mac OS X 10.5.1 on a first gen MacBook Pro upgraded to 2GB of RAM)
Thanks to anyone who can help or confirm/deny this weird problem!

After reading up on Uniform Type Identifiers, I think I have a solution - or at least some sort of workaround. This requires editing the Microsoft Word package.
1. Open the Microsoft Word package (Action -> Show Package Contents)
2. Go to Contents and open Info.plist in a plist editor (I used Panic Coda)
3. Remove lines 703-704 where it reads <key>public.mime-type</key><string>application/msword</string>
4. Remove any caches/whatever (I used Onyx) and reboot.
Further details on Step #3:
There are two instances where Microsoft Word defines application/msword. On my copy of Word, it defines it at line 684-685 and line 703. Line 685 refers to the document type .doc while line 703-704 refers to .dot.
Obviously, I want the MIME type application/msword to refer to .doc (and don't really care too much about .dot files).
Before (lines 688-706):
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<string>public.data</string>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>Microsoft Word 97 - 2004 template</string>
<key>UTTypeIconFile</key>
<string>W8TN.icns</string>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.microsoft.word.dot</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.ostype</key>
<string>W8TN</string>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<string>dot</string>
<key>public.mime-type</key>
<string>application/msword</string>
</dict>
</dict>
After:
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<string>public.data</string>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>Microsoft Word 97 - 2004 template</string>
<key>UTTypeIconFile</key>
<string>W8TN.icns</string>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.microsoft.word.dot</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.ostype</key>
<string>W8TN</string>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<string>dot</string>
</dict>
</dict>
Don't know if this will work anywhere else, but it solved my problem and Safari no longer mysteriously adds .dot to my .doc downloads.

I'm trying to export my masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC to masters and exporting with an IPTC4XMP file, no luck. These are all .jpg files. The ratings export OK if I export the versions. Any suggestions

I'm trying to export my Aperture masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC data to the masters and adding the IPTC4XMP file when exporting, neither worked. The ratings show up in Lightroom if I export the versions. These are all .jpg's that I am exporting. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

There are two problems here:
1) Aperture does not modify its "original" files on export. Meaning with the JPEG files that Aperture will NOT modify them, and it will not write IPTC data to them. It exports the XMP sidecar files, as you're seeing.
2) Adobe will NOT read IPTC sidecar files for non-RAW images. So if it sees a JPEG file, it will not look for an XMP sidecar file. It just doesn't read them, so the data won't be imported by Lightroom.
If you are using JPEG files, then probably the solution is to check the box in Aperture to tell it to write XMP metadata to the original files. They're not RAW files, so they're not proprietary in any way, so writing the XMP metadata to the JPEG files is probably pretty safe.

,how can I retrieve all my files? photos, songs, games, etc. please help me.. Thank you

I thought I will just reactive my iPad form the "find my iPhone"apps.instead I deleted my iPad! All my files has been erased, like photos, songs, games, etc. I really want to recover all of these. Is there a way you can help me? Thank you and god bless

After upgrading to 6.0 firefox will not open ant websites at all, while my other browsers work correctly: help, please

i run windows 7 on a sony y series. before upgrading to 6.0 firefox worked seamlessly. now it will not open any websites at all. i have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. thoughts? help? ...

I will be using IE9 until this is fixed. Perhaps for good!!

Firefox won't start. I followed all troubleshooting recommendations i found on this site and still nothing. please help.

Firefox worked on this computer in the past. Now, Firefox wont start.
1. I deleted everything off this computer including the profile and all files under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
2. I deleted my profile here:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
3. I uninstalled the program, deleted all cookies, temporary internet files etc. I restarted my computer.
When I reinstalled it, it still doesn't open.
When I ctrl+Alt+del I see the process (not application) is running, but nothing appears on the streen
Please help!!!
win 7, plenty of ram, plenty of disk space, high speed internet

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

New computer with 7.01 firefox does not show previous bookmarks tho all other files restored with my ClickFree backup. Found the profile but cant open places.sqlite

safely transferred all my saved files from old dead Vista to new computer with Windows 7 except for my firefox 7.01 bookmarks & QuickNote add on. i downloaded QuickNote but it is blank too. Found the profile C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8oy034hg.default & places.sqlite but cant open the file.Windows ask what program I want to open the places.sqlite file & i said Firefox but it doesnt open. How do I open the file & get my bookmarks & QuickNote back. help pls

Why not install and try Firefox portable, it may well be a good troubleshooting step. Try running it from an external memory stick.
The threads you referred to
* [/questions/956861] was closed but never solved
*[/questions/958824] similar
Some system information would help
*How much RAM is installed ?
*What is the total size of the Hard Disk Drive ?
*What is the current amount of free-space in GB ? and as a percentage ?
I try not to use Windows but certainly at one stage a rule of thumb was 20-25% free space should be available. Under about 12% defragging of a disk would likely fail. A page file would need to be larger than the amount of RAM maybe 1.5X , and a hibernate file would be the size of the RAM.
* Do not Hibernate if you are low on HDD space.
I suggest you proceed as follows
#Answer the above questions. I worry you have a lack of diskspace.
#Do a full scan with multiple and up-to-date anti-malware tools. Do not rely on Avast alone. No tool picks up everything. Report back what you scanned with and what was found.
#Backup and keep whatever profiles may be good or may contain recent information such as passwords and bookmarks, but do not use them yet.
#Download a new installer then Do a clean reinstall of Firefox, ensuring that the program folders are deleted before you re-install.
#Now restart, you expect the first restart to work. Close down and try again does it now work OK ?
The detailed instructions in the thread you read [/questions/958824#answer-436552] should help you.
If you have continuing problems is this after a restart of Firefox, or a restart of the Windows Operating System ?

I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

Close ALL open files and save jpg with jpg option

Hi,
I have some (a lot) of -jpg images to crop, and resize, while I have to do this one by one based on what portion of the image to crop, once done I need to close, and save them.
To speed up the process I open several files, and do the crop&resize, and when finished I use "close all", and would like to avoid to confirm the "save" dialogue, and the "jpeg options" "image quality option" dialogue, having to say save, and the option set to a given value.
Unfortunatelly I am not a coder, and didn't understand anything from the Javascript Scripting Reference guide.
I found this
app.docRef.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);
here, I pasted it into ExtendScript, saved it, but when opening the script from file > scripts > browse it returns error 21 (undefined is not an object)
Will you please kindly give me the script?
Thank you

Add this snippet to a script file.
Load script file in PS scripts folder
Restart photoshop
Assign keyboard shortcut to script
#target photoshop
//Make Photoshop the formost Appplication
app.bringToFront();
// Requires at least one open document
while (app.documents.length > 0)
//Save all open windows
{activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);}

My Firefox continues to stall a lot and Window Task Manager shows that Firefox is using a lot of memory (600,000k +) What can I do to make this stop stalling?

I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory. When it does that I can't do anything unless I just use the power button to shut the computer down or use the task manager to "End Process". I do not like to do either of these so I usually just sit and wait for it to fix itself then later it does it all over again.
Also when I was doing defrag on the file type tab it showed two Mozilla Firefox so I am wondering if this is the issue but I only see one in the control panel.

Welcome tab present each time I start Firefox, my homepage is opened in separate window. How do I make it stop?

Welcome page opens each time I start Firefox, my homepage opens in separate window. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and it continues to happen. Homepage is set to google and is present when I go to the general tab.
