FIREFOX OPENS RAR FILES INSTEAD OF DOWNLOAD

I'm using Firefox 21. When I try to click in a rar file link, firefox opens the file instead of download.
I've tried to change in "Tools->Options-> Aplications" the actions taken by the browser depending of file types, but there is no case for rar files and I cannot add it.
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance

This can happen if the server isn't configured properly and sends the file as text/plain.
You should be able to verify this in Tools > Page Info > General
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
In such a case you can't left-click a link, but need to use the right-click context menu and use "Save Link As"

Can I partition my hard drive to hold Windows 8 (Beta), instead of Windows 7, and can I do this with an external CD drive?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion installed, but my CD drive inside my computer is damaged*, and it's far cheaper to buy an external CD drive than to repair it entirely. Before I do either, I would like some grasp of whether or not it's worth my time and money, as I've yet to order the external drive or make a genius bar appointment.
Also, the reason I'm choosing Windows 8 (Beta) is because it's free.
*I dropped my computer once two years ago. I haven't even used my CD drive until recently when trying to install Windows 8. I assume the drop was the issue. I've used compressed air to remove dirt/dust as well as resetting the PRAM multiple times and nothing seems to work, but I'm not worried about it.
Thank you.

Can I partition my hard drive to hold Windows 8 (Beta), instead of Windows 7, and can I do this with an external CD drive?
No and No.
1: Apple only supports Windows 7 at this time in BootCamp (direct install into a bootable partition) because Win 8 is in Beta and no Mac hardware drivers are available yet from Apple for Windows 8.
2: You can't install Windows from a external cd drive into BootCamp, it has to be a internal one far as I know, perhaps a USB will work I don't know.
Yes:
1: You can download and install Windows 8 Beta into a the free virtual machine software called VirtualBox, which Windows 8 will run in a window in OS X. This is better as it's still in Beta and Windows Beta releases will expire. Plus Windows 8 is a pain in the behind and you will want to be able to have VirtualBox or OS X be able to regain control over the computer.

Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

Firefox opens file:// links instead of application

I set Windows explorer.exe to open file:// links, such as folders. Instead, Firefox opens them in a tab. How can I force them to be opened by the external application?

I found solution: set
"network.protocol-handler.expose.file=false" to not be opened in FF;
"network.protocol-handler.external.file=true" to allow external app;
"noscript.fixURI=false" to not overwrite ".expose." settings by NoScript AddOn.

Firefox opens new windows instead of tabs on my mac laptop not on my PC

Firefox 3.6.8 opens multiple windows instead of new tabs no matter how I select the options in preferences. This happens on my Macbook Pro but not on my Windows PC.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Firefox opens blank frames/dialogs

Hello,
I've a problem that sometimes the dialogs I open in Firefox are blank or the buttons are blank. It's quite hard to describe IMO, so I've made some screenshots: http://oi44.tinypic.com/rjfbkg.jpg
It gets fixed if I restart my browser, but it's quite annoying to do so every time.
For example when I installed the add-on that gets troubleshooting information, there wasn't an install and cancel button, but they were blank. The install button also didn't work and I had to restart my browser.
Thanks in advance!

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

This can also be a font problem that the font tables in Firefox somehow get corrupted if it sometimes works and then stops working.
If it happens then you can do a font test to see if you can identify not working (corrupted) font(s).

My Firefox browser has become corrupted by bannersdontwork popups and I will, sadly, have to quite using it.

Firefox opens on my homepage, but whatever item I click on, a full-page popup appears asking me to answer a survey or promoting some service or product. I have used Firefox for years, but this madness is driving me back to Internet Explorer.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

When I click the Safari app to open it, I keep getting this popup and I cannot close it without force quitting. I also cannot use Safari at all because this keeps poping up what do I do?

I will get this popup and when I try to quit it, it will show another popup called MacKeeper. I always get this ad however I have never downloaded. I am unable to use Safari because of this issue. I have tried restarting and shutting down my computer, but when I try and reopen Safari, I will get the same message and Mackeeper popup. Please help. It's like these popup ads have taken over my Safari. I have run multiple scans on my computer and it says no malware detected and no viruses.

Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect your computer from the Internet and try again.
Those popups are being opened directly from the web and not by any malware installed on the machine.

Firefox opens a pdf in the browser but I can't save it as a pdf file. How do I save pdf files as pdfs?

When I open pdf files in the browser I do not have a way to save the file as a pdf file on my hard drive. I can only save it as a firefox image file one page at a time. I can't print it either except as individual pages from the image file. When I use the "Save As" icon my only options are to save as a Firefox file. What am I missing? Thanks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

Try this, when I right clicked on the document to rotate the image a noticed a tool bar appeared at the bottom of the page with the save icon. It then disappeared, but by hovering at near the bottom of the document the tool bar appears and I can save the PDF.

Ffox crashed & I accidntlly hit open new sesson instead of restore tabs. Can I get back my tabs and tab groups?

ffox crashed, when the window came up to choose tabs to close, and then restore the remaining tabs, i accidently hit start new session so I lost all tabs and tab groups when the new firefox window opened. In disbelief that this had actually happened, I then closed this new firefox window, and then started firefox again in hopes that it was some sort of fluke, but again it was a new session without any of my old tabs or groups.

Uh oh, you closed and re-opened Firefox. When you start up, Firefox saves your previous session tabs from sessionstore.js to sessionstore.bak, but it's only there until you start up Firefox again, when the backup is replaced. So I don't hold out much hope...
But you could take a look here:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
This will open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Profile folder). If you look for sessionstore files, you should see at least sessionstore.js (current session) and sessionstore.bak (previous session). You may also see other files with numbers appended to the name.
Copy all of today's files to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). The strategy is to work through them to see whether they contain anything useful.
Keeping your profile folder open, switch over and exit Firefox. Then delete sessionstore.js and rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. After restarting Firefox, can you restore the earlier session (using either History > Restore Previous Session, or the button on the built-in Firefox home page)?
If that isn't the correct one, did you find any other sessionstore files that might be a bit older? If so, repeat the process. If not, unfortunately, it's gone, and you'll have to use your memory or Firefox History (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+h) to reconstruct the missing session.
There is an extension named Session Manager that lets you save more than just the one previous session. If you can't live without your list of tabs, you might want to look into it: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-manager/].

Firefox opens tabs after I have shut down and reopen

Each time I open Firefox, the program opens multiple tabs that I had searched and reviewed a couple months ago. I have attempted to properly log off Firefox. I have also uninstalled the Firefox program and all its components and then reinstalled the program. I have met the same results. All the tabs reopen each time I open Firefox. I have been happy with Firefox and would hate to have to give up on the program. Please help me.

Hi Janine, do these tabs only appear at startup or do they also appear when you open a new window using Ctrl+n or when you double-click the Firefox desktop shortcut a second time?
''If they show up with Ctrl+n AND every time you use the desktop shortcut:''
You might have accidentally made those tabs your home pages. You can view/edit/reset your home page(s) in the Options dialog. These articles have more information:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
''If they show up whenever you use the desktop shortcut:''
These pages might somehow have been added to the shortcut's "target". You can check that by right-clicking the shortcut > Properties, then on the Shortcut tab, the Target should be the following with nothing after it:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
''If they only show up when Firefox starts up:''
Firefox may be set to restore a previous session. Normally this shows windows and tabs from your most recently closed session, so it's strange that you get older ones. If you always want to start with your home page, you can make that change in the Options dialog. This article points the way:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
Does any of that help?

Firefox opens with two tab both saying "connecting" and the cursor spins, and nothing happens. I have to force quit it each time. I'm using MAC OS 10.7.2

There isn't more to say. There is no library in the system as far as I can see. I'd like to use firefox and can't get past this hang.

I can't open the cd on the DVD player and can't eject it.

I can't open the cd on the DVD player (external, Apple) and can't eject it. It contains my medical records. I looked for a pin-hole to push but the case only has one opening and that's for the cd/dvd. It's a new Apple device, no external serial or part number (no writing of any kind) on the device.

Metro firefox opens desktop mode instead of metro mode

Whenever I tap the metro app of Nightly, it always opens the desktop mode instead of the metro version. Nightly is set as default browser so it should open the metro version of this.

The way to switch to Metro mode changed recently. In the latest version of Nightly, you can press the menu button (three horizontal lines at the right end of the toolbar), then press "Windows 8 Touch" to switch from desktop to Metro mode.
After you do this, Nightly will continue to open in Metro mode automatically unless you switch back by choosing "Relaunch in the desktop" from the toolbar menu.
For more details, see [[How do I install Windows 8 (Metro-style) Firefox?]]

Why is firefox opening new window instead of tabs?

Until today when I clicked on a link it would open a new tab. For some reason when I click on a link now it opens a new window. I'm not sure why. I check my options and it's set up to open tabs. Yesterday it was opening in tabs. I just don't know what's going on, hope you can help.
