Firefox by default opens the last used profile. I want it to open the default profile always unless specified with -P option

To make it more clear. If I use the following command
firefox -P profileRare
and then close the firefox, When I open the firefox again with by giving
firefox
It opens the profileRare again. Is there anyway to override this behaviour and open default profile when I call firefox without -P option?

Make sure that the profile that you want to use as the default is set as Default=1 in the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file profiles.ini]
If you use -P "profile_name" then the selected profile shouldn't change. Only if you use the profile manager and select a new profile then that profile will become the last selected profile, so make sure that "Don't ask at startup" is selected.

My Firefox has started opening downloaded PDF files in a creen with no option to save or print them. How can I fix this?

I get my bills etc electronically. I then download them and save them to a file on my computer. Firefox is now opening them in a window that has only the PDF and an address bar, the "File Edit View, etc" at the top of the screen is missing and I can't figure out how to save these files.

Hi rjwwalker3-
It is possible to adjust your preferences for files, and what Firefox does with them. Here is an article on how to adjust your preferences when dealing with files:
[[Managing file types]]
Hope that helps!

When clicking on an email link, I want the firefox user profile menu to open instead of going to the last used profile. How do I make this work?

When I click on a link in Thunderbird to open a web page, and Firefox is not already open, I want to have the user profile screen presented so that I can select which profile to use for the Firefox session. Instead, it opens the last used profile. Is there a way to do this?

That is is always a problem when you are using multiple profiles and Firefox isn't running.
It might work if no profile is selected (i.e. marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini). 
You can use desktop shortcut that open with a specific profile (-P "profile"). 
There is also a setting in the Profile Manager (Don't ask at startup).

What format are your sources and what are your sequence settings? I'd guess that you're working with h.264 material which is not fcp friendly. If so, use compressor to conver to prores422

Could not find the record specified with data_record option

Hi, we've got the same error in a couple of templates, but have no idea what can be the cause or solution. Does anyone know where I should look when I got "Could not find the record specified with data_record option" as message?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Raf,
That is what it normally is. I thought it might be related to a multi-record form, like in this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/09/working_with_multiple_data_rec.html.
That blog does not really go into it, but if your "record" is not the directly under the <xfa:data> element then you need a <record> element under config/data to say what the node is, something like <record>Worker</record>.
You error message sounded familiar but I have not been able to reproduce it, but then I've moved on a couple of versions of Designer.
Is it possible for you to share your form and seed data?
Regards
Bruce

Firefox will not open on my computer, even after reinstall, with no error message or when I try to run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p. Help?

I recently installed firefox so I could use an adblocker. It installed just fine, and it worked just fine for about three days. Then yesterday it stopped opening. I'm on a Toshiba running Windows 7. The icon highlights when I click on it, but then it stops and won't open the browser at all. When I try to run it with the manual command "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p, I get the error message, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location." I installed it to that location, and I don't need a disk. I'm connected to the Internet just fine and my other browsers (Chrome and IE) work the same as always. But they're swamped with ads and I really was happy wih Firefox when it was opening...how can I fix this issue?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I cannot print ANYTHING frmo the internet/email at all; only from Word. Comcast & Kodak say it's a FireFox problem. All the letters are little square ones with 1 to 2 spaces in between each word.

I cannot print ANYTHING from email or internet at all; only from Word. Comcast and Kodak says it's a FireFox problem. I have work to print and cannot. All the letters are little square ones with 1 to 2 spaces in between each word.

Caused by a Bug in Firefox 4.0b12. It was fixed on Monday in the 4.0b13 pre "tester" nightly's. The fix will be in the 4.0 Release Candidate.

I'm trying to decide between the time capsule & airport extreme. With either option, will i not have air play?

I'm trying to decide between the time capsule & airport extreme. With either option, will i not have air play? I have an IMAC, MACBOOK, 2 Apple TVs, 3 iPhones...

AIrplay to digital or analogue devices like speakers or hifi system is only available in Express. Or Apple TV.
The TC or Extreme will pass airplay protocol just fine to your ATV.
The Extreme and TC and now identical apart from the TC having an internal hard disk.

Firefox will not open at all, keep getting error message with last 2 saved web pages on it

Yesterday, I closed Firefox. I had multiple tabs opened, so it asked me if I wanted to save them. I clicked YES and closed Firefox.
I had Google Docs open at the time.
Now, when I open up Firefox, everytime, it tries to load the 2 saved pages, then gives me an error message saying that Windows will try to find the solution to why it can't open.
I cannot use Firefox at all now.
How can I fix this?
I have re-installed Firefox completely and it does not work, it remembers my settings.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

Zzxc: Firefox won't open sites as usual. Comes up with other stuff. I have a picture.

Creating a new profile did not solve my problem, it stayed the same. Whats the next step?

Have you tried [[Safe Mode]] then clicking on Disable All Addons on the popup box?

Today firefox didn't open .htm file saved in my computer how to solved the issue? yesterday opened perfectly yet today not opened .htm file why?

IN BANK WEBSITE TAX PAID PAGES SAVED IN MY COMPUTER AS .HTM file format since yesterday firefox, chrome opened this files perfectly. yet today i have not open this type of files. open the .htm file firefox opened in home page only.

If you drag and drop the .htm file on page currently displayed in a Firefox tab, does it display correctly?
If so, this implies that there is a problem passing the file name to Firefox, either a problem with the registry settings created whenever you make Firefox your default browser, or an issue with how Firefox is starting up.
Assuming you still have Google Chrome installed, could you do a double-switch of your default browser:
# Have Google Chrome make itself the default browser (see [https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95417?hl=en Make Chrome your default browser - Chrome Help]) 
# Have Firefox make itself the default browser again (see [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]])
Any improvement?

After reset my Firefox no longer opens web pages automatically when I type the keywords in the Location bar. How do I fix this?

Before I reset my Firefox I was able to just type words in the Location bar and Firefox would redirect me to the website. For example, typing "reservoir dogs imdb" would redirect to the IMDB page of this movie, and typing a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of some company that uses these characters as the abbreviation of its name.
I never set this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now this possibility is gone for me and I can't seem to fix it.
I use the laters Mozilla Firefox 21.

Starting with Firefox 23 the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar that way (keyword.enabled still works to disable this search).
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Tried to upgrade as suggested. Firefox won't open now, says my Mac isn't a compatible version. How do I get the old Firefox system back?

Went to open Firefox this morning. It said I should upgrade to the new Firefox. I downloaded as requested. When complete, I tried to open Firefox and it said the new version isn't compatible with my older Mac. How do I get the older version of Firefox on my system and get rid of the new one that won't open??

Links on my desktop have the firefox .ico and not the web link .ico Can this be automaticly attached like IE does

When I place an internet link on the desktop using Firefox 3.6.13 the link (.ico) icon is replaced with the Firefox (.ico) icon instead.
IE transfers this icon to the desktop with the link text.
Can someone fix this?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there. 
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

Firefox by default opens the last used profile. I want it to open the default profile always unless specified with -P option
