Firefox nightly doesn't use any file associations on downloaded files

I am using Firefox 8.0a with Gnome 3 and Shell. Chromium will open any downloaded files with the correct applications, but Firefox always asks me to locate an application to open a file with. Rather than searching through for all the correct binaries to open files with and setting them that way, is there a way to tell Firefox to always use the correct programs that have already been associated in Nautilus?
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi … n_problems then I need to install the libgnome package, but it is already installed.
edit: I also tried the second command on that page -
ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
but got this output:
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/theo/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache': File exists

Hi all, I've faced this problem too after installing firefox-nightly from the aur.
I believe that problem root is that linux binaries from mozilla are built with most generic flags, so are not integrated well with Archlinux.
I've just posted new PKGBUILD for firefox nightly that builds firefox from latest 'tip' tag from mozilla-central, linking it with system libs (except nspr and cairo, that fail build because of some bugs).
Build process takes some time (about an hour on Core i7), but you get nightly built with almost the same flags as firefox from [communiti] as a result.
gstreamer (H.264) support also included.

File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server

Hi All,
This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
Any guess as to what is going on here?

Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: File
source directory: /test or test ( either one works)
file name: * or . or *.txt nothing works
server: ftp server name
port: 21
data connection: passive
user: ******

connect mode: permanently
transfer mode: text
QOS: exactly once

processing mode: archive ( changed to test and delete as well, but made no difference.)

I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

Images in Firefox Nightly doesn't finish loading.

I have no idea why this is happening to me or how I can make it stop but... I have a really annoying problem with Firefox Nightly. Whenever there is an image, any kind of image, on a page it won’t finish loading approximately 99% of the time. It goes down maybe 20 inches and then all I see is the colour black, as if the loading sequence was interrupted or something.
I’ve tried clearing the history, cache, reinstalling Firefox Nightly and CCleaner to no use. My two or three addons that I use should not conflict with anything since I’ve been using them for a good while now.
Please help me!

If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
*all extensions are disabled
*the default theme is used (no persona)
*userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
*the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
*the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
*hardware acceleration is disabled
*plugins are not affected
*preferences are not affected

Camileo S10 - Arcsoft doesn't recognize any files on SD card & internal memory

I have just bought a Camileo s10 camcoder.
So far i was satisfied with the product till i connected it to my pc (vista fully compatible with recommendations).
I installed the Arcsoft software but i never got any file imported because *the program recognised both sd and internal memory as empty*(i could play the files in the camera's player as well as from my pc's card reader ).
I used other similar suites with no luck.I then tried to format the sd hc 8gb card and restore my files but unluckily i noticed *the video/foto files were not recognised, at that time, even from the camera* .
Another serious concern is that i had an hd(720p) .mov file from a trailer in my memory card and the camera could not see it (+i wanted to use the camcoder as a high def player connected to my sony full hd tv+).
I have searched for answers almost anywhere but so far i got no response

Actually thanks for the advice.I tried those you mentioned and i finally(partially at least) found out that in the sd card and internal memory folders *there where 2 folders* with the same name(100MEDIA.. something)
One was recognised as an application and the other as a folder.The folder was a hidden file permanently so i supposed this was the reason so my first concern is answered.I found it really weard though!
I made the format inside the camera.You mentioned a higher class card.Would this improve something specifically?I observed that i have class 4 SD hc.
*My main worry now is to recognise the recording format of this camera so i can convert other video formats to it.And so far nobody seems to know as everybody is interested in editing recorded videos and not in reproducing.
Thank you for your answer

JFileChooser doesn't show any file!!

Hi all,
I am developing an java application that uses JFileChooser to choose a directory. However, very strange, the JFileChooser opened does not show any file or directory in C: drive nor D: drive. How can that happen? Anyone knows?
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.showOpenDialog(this);Above is my code. When I only execute above code, it is normal (can see those files in C: drive). But if i run above code with my application, it doesnot show any file in C: drive. Please help me!!

Try specifying the default location in addition to the component.
if(windows machine) result=createDialog("Choose Parent Directory","Select Folder","C:\\");
private static JFileChooser createDialog(String title,String ilabel,String directory) {
          JFileChooser result= null;
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        // Create a window and some components
        JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
          JLabel label = new JLabel(ilabel);
        JFileChooser jFC = new JFileChooser(directory);
        // Set the window's layout
        label.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
        //set file dialog to use direcotries
        jFC.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        // Setup the text, list, and checkbox
        topPanel.add(label);
        topPanel.add(jFC);
        int returnVal = jFC.showOpenDialog(topPanel);
        if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            result = jFC;
        } else {
             result=null;
        return result;
     }

Firefox will not let use any checkboxes on any sites, like when you read the rules and want to check the acceot checkbox. We just started using firefox alot because IE is running incredibly slow on our computer. Any ideas

Our computer has been running terribly slow, so we switched to using Firefox and it will not let me use any checkboxes on any website. Is there a setting or anything that needs to be changed

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

Is there a video player that doesn't use temp files?

I need to find a video player that doesn't leak anything to the disk when playing files. The swap is already encrypted so that is no big deal. I view confidential client videos from a truecrypt encrypted disk.
Thanks

OK, that's good. A portfolio is essentially a master document with file attachments. It obviously has special functionality, but you can have similar functionality using a standard PDF as the master document and adding the other PDFs as attachments. The Attachments pane allows you to search the attached files and you can provide links to individual attachments in the master document. For example you could set up a series of buttons (with spiffy icons) that link to the attached documents so that they will open when the buttons are clicked.
So you could go through the trouble of preparing a portfolio proper as well as the type of document described above, or just the latter. As Steve mentioned, the future of portfolios is in doubt and they are not supported outside of Adobe PDF viewers, so you might want to go with this alternative exclusively.

An ipod doesn't show any files at all.

Hi!
My brother recently won a HP 20GB ipod, he connect it to the PC, install the software for the ipod, and itunes from the apple download site, everything supposed to work, all of his files are transfered to the ipod but when he want to see his music the ipod won't show anything, there is no music.
Maybe is the ipod but I connect it to my Mac and all my music was transfer without a problem and is show perfectly on the ipod.
Can someone tell me what is he doing wrong?

My year old 20GB ipod is having the same problems. ive been in discussions about this a lot recently, and it seems like itunes 6 is causing problems with some ipods. try uninstalling your itunes and ipod software and restart. install the software that came with your ipod on the cd.

Does the JSON file contain any registry associations with Firefox?

I'm thinking about unstalling Firefox and it's registries using a uninstaller tool like Revo or iObit if all else fails because FF is freezing up on me every 8 days or so. Also would it make a difference I exported my bookmarks as a HTML? Because I'm positive that doesn't have any registry associations with FF. By the way would I be able to backup passwords without any registry with lets say Mozbackup?

A JSON backup doesn't contain any registry data.
MozBackup or manually saving the content of the Firefox Profile Folder should work to backup your personal data.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup

Did you check these?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
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.
