Firefox won't "Open File..." to my hard drive/desk top since my OSX system update yesterday -- why?

Did an automated OSX system update and noticed after reboot that Firefox now won't "Open File..." or recognize any files (video, pdf, etc) on my computer! (Problem may not be related to update but suspicious timing!) Seems to play streaming video OK...
Checked/updated plugins from Firefox site and reinstalled Firefox without success -- issue remains. Safari recognizes all / will "Opens file..."
Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!

Hello, have you tried this full route?
This can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't help & you can afford to redo any Mail Rules...
Trash these files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/... MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup

  • How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?

    How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?

    Buy yourself a portable hard drive from WD or the like.  It should have a capacity at least twice that of your machine hard drive.  Then follow the instructions that come with it; it is quite straightforward.
    I have a similar machine to you by the sound of it.   After the initial back up, it is just a matter of topping up every couple of months or so, plus whenever you do to back up any major upgrade.
    A portable one is good because you can store it with relatives when not in use which gives protection in the case of fire or theft.
    I use two backups.   One, an external HD permanently connected for my Time Machine and the second, a portable for the reasons I gave.

  • Mail Won't Open (after removing external hard drive)

    Hello,
    I recently pulled out my external hard drive improperly (pulled out the cord before disconnecting it). Since then my Mail has not opened. When I click on the icon it just bounces and never opens.
    I have tried just about every suggestion on this board for the same problem, For example:
    - I have repaired disk permissions
    - Moved cache files to the hard drive
    - Deleted plist files
    - Reinstalled mail from my startup disc
    - Reinstalled Tiger altogether
    None of these have worked and I was wondering if anybody else had any suggestions. Below is the crash log that appears. Thank you!

    Hello, have you tried this full route?
    This can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index

  • Firefox won't open files (not links) in new tabs

    Hello I'm having an issue with Firefox on my Mac Mini. I want to view html files I've edited in multiple tabs in ONE window. My problem is that whenever I double-click an html file it always opens them in a new window even when I have an existing window open. I have tried changing settings in the about:config in firefox to no avail. Is there some kind of setting I need to change in Leopard to fix this? I'm new to the Mac and have been using Windows for a long time. I recently got this Mac Mini and love it, but I can't figure out this one problem. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.3 with Firefox 3 RC2. Here's the thing, I'm also running FF3RC2 on WinXP SP2 on my other machine and it does not have this problem at all. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

    Can you download and launch Word files normally from other sites, such as: [http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/5/bd515214-0728-4a54-9625-ab3f198cf448/internetexplorer8.doc]
    If so, it could be an issue on the mail provider's server. If the mail server is sending a generic content type ("application/octet-stream"), then Firefox won't actually associate that with any particular application (I suspect because it also is used for executable files).
    Sometimes the Open/Save/Cancel dialog will show you the "content type" indicated by the server. Is that information available?
    Is this a mail provider that would accept some constructive input on this issue?

  • Can't open file on external hard drive?

    Hi,
    I'm using an external hard drive for mac backup and also to store photo files.  I copied some photo files to the drive about two weeks ago and their icon appears, but when I want to open them, I get an error message: "The alias “...” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."  There is also a small arrow on the icon.  My other files can be opened okay.
    What's also strange is that I found the icon of the external drive in the folder with the picture files, even though I did not drag it there (the main icon is till on my computer's desktop, where it should be.)  That icon also has a small arrow on it.  When I click on it, it opens and I can see my folders, but the photo folders with the arrow on it will still not open.
    I tried ejecting the drive and reconnecting it, but it didn't help.  Is there anything I can do to recover the missing photo files, or are they most likely gone?  I have deleted these pictures from my computer hard drive.  What should I do about the mysterious second external drive icon?  Delete it or keep it?  Can I somehow use it to restore the photo files?
    Any help appreciated!  Thanks!

    The Hard Drive is a :
    Toshiba Canvio® Connect 1TB Portable Hard Drive (Silver)
    Model: HDTC710XS3A1
    This one: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=1 0001&krypto=3zEkJ%2BPHCwJUtrlzjGByIaVT405Hn%2BOkggwamseD1O2Y0FHbJ9AUp%2FvPow7k22 XRWnJ6JpaVN8kRgl1%2FsFLgpeXF3MELtwm2GBihw8f7efXGqDPuH1gOcMRylnlmBw9gsk%2BTp1l7y9 CIe9KKQs5NR6dOV3HVJyJoGFWpJuhiI4ebeznLAndHONOpAQH7BG04MKAdFPnSHdRzYEBcRoM%2FVHQM k2PSq4vj%2F684ZdSvLVCllSq4ffM7sqpFRf0VO825mlCiumRBMCpX4RLzBCDAjoVpsvSrfRAuJkk4ZW NwBP3Qfzok8RiYCyj3rmcmGc1iFsFS6dhKjH9xnnhEkb5%2Bag%3D%3D
    I copied the photos by dragging and dropping them into the folder on the external drive.  I highlighted them all and dragged them together, then clicked "Arrange by Name", so I would find them.  As the folders were visible, I assumed they were copied correctly, however I'm not sure I actually opened one to make sure.
    Other than the photo folder I have the hard drive connected to Time Machine and it automatically backs up files.  I still have about 700MB of space left on the drive.
    I used my Mac (disk utility) to format the drive, not the software that came with it, as someone on this forum recommended. Format is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  So far, it had been working great.
    Just looked at Disk Utility and it's strange, it's as if the Toshiba drive appears twice, with its original name and then the way I renamed it "Mac Backup".  Not sure if that's normal?  When I click on Mac Backup it correctly states how much storage I have left, but it lists over 230,000 folders and over 1.3 million files, which seems way too much, even considering the regular backups.

  • 4520s Won't Open 3TB Seagate External Hard Drive

    I think I have a Hardware Issue:  I have a HP Probook 4520s laptop running windows 7 Prof. 32Bit and a Seagate 3TB external hard drive. When I plug in the Seagate, my laptop auto detects it and it shows up in device manager under disk drives named “Seagate External USB Device”. But, it does NOT show in my-computer in the hard disk drive folder and therefore I can’t open it. I have plugged the Seagate into 5 various other windows driven laptops and desk-top computers  to include my MS Surface 2 and it shows up AND opens in all of them, just not my 4520s… Why? And, what can I do to fix this serious limitation?

    Actually, I figured it out. After I ejected the hard drive, I noticed a file with the same name as the HD. I had to "force eject" this file, but once that was done, I could open Word files from my HD again. Thanks for your help!

  • Cannot open files saved to hard drive

    Saved all my files to a maxtor external hard drive, and now cannot open on my newly restored mac. all the file names and folders are there, but most say zero for the size. and when trying to open says ""doc" is used by Max OS C and cannot be opened".  did i loose all my files?

    If you have  a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it using Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
    From Disk Utility, in there select your Maxtor external drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as  Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    Then exit Disk Utility and then copy a few files over and see if they open.

  • After visiting a website that was a pdf file (which didn't load -crashed), Firefox now constantly causes calls to my hard drive all the time when open.

    I went to a site that was a pdf of a map. When I clicked on it, the hard drive called constantly and the map never did download. Now when I open Firefox, my computer constantly makes calls to the hard drive all the time Firefox is operating. This does not happen when I use MS Explorer. Also, when I close Firefox from the desktop, it appears to close but is still operating in the background. I have to go into Task Manager to close Firefox. Then the calls to the hard drive stop.
    Something similar happened once before with a pdf file, but it stopped when I shut down Firefox, rebooted, and reopened in Safe Mode. Now the condition is permanent. Is there a fix?

  • Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. Firefox no longer opens these files correctly (see below).

    Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. These files which all use the same name but are saved in a different folder for each eBay auction no longer open correctly -- much of the eBay auction text information shows up for a split second and then disappears -- the area at the top of the saved eBay auction file then collapses -- the original eBay auction photo of the product shows up as well during that split second but disappears when the other auction text disappears. These eBay auction files open correctly when opened using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, Firefox adds some strange information at the end of the file name when it is opened which is not a part of the actual file name itself (i.e. here is the original file name which is the same for whatever ended eBay auction I open: eBayISAPI.dll.htm -- here is the altered file name after Firefox opens it: eBayISAPI.dll_files/eBayISAPI_data/eBayISAPI_002.htm#ht_658wt_1349 -- yes, it is that long -- the last part is slightly different for each separate auction file that I open). None of this happened until recently. The files open this way whether using Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox Safe Mode 3.6.16, and Firefox Safe Mode 4.0.

    Here is what I did:
    1) In Firefox 4.0, I opened the Bookmarks on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I clicked on the Import and Backup menu. I then exported all my bookmarks to the PC's desktop using the default file name BOOKMARKS.HTML.
    2) In Firefox, I opened the Add-ons menu under Tools on the Menu Bar. I clicked on the Prnt Scrn key on the top right of the PC's keyboard in order to obtain a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons. I then opened Microsoft Word and pasted the screen shot using the Control V command (Ctrl V). I then saved the Microsoft Word file on the PC's desktop for future reference.
    3) I then opened the Control Panel in the Start menu (accessed from the little Windows world globe on the bottom left of the screen -- the operating system is Windows 7).
    4) In the Control Panel, I opened Uninstall A Program in the Programs section.
    5) I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 clicking on the box "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" in order to remove whatever bug in my Firefox customizations was causing the two errors above (this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole process which is why I saved all my bookmarks as an HTML file and saved a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons).
    6) I then reinstalled my old Firefox 3.6.16 version obtained from the following link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (I am not yet in favor of using Firefox 4.0 -- you suppose you can reinstall Firefox 4.0 on your system if you want).
    7) After Firefox 3.6.16 was reinstalled, I had to import all my old bookmarks. Under Bookmarks on the Firefox Menu Bar at the top of the screen, I clicked on Organize Bookmarks. I then clicked on the Import and Backup menu and then the Import HTML command in order the BOOKMARKS.HTML file saved on the PC's desktop.
    8) I then re-added all my favorite Firefox add-ons by clicking on Add-ons under the Firefox Tools menu and then clicking on the Get Add-ons command. I then searched for all the old add-ons I wanted to re-add to Firefox using the Microsoft Word document on the PC's desktop saved with the screen shot of all the old Firefox add-ons on my system by I uninstalled Firefox 4.0.
    9) I then opened one of the old eBay auction page files saved on my hard drive under the eBay default file name "eBayISAPI.dll.htm". The file opened perfectly with NO missing sections and no missing original eBay auction listing photo! the file looked exactly like it did as if I was logged into eBay and looking at the original ended auction.
    10) I then opened Hotmail in Firefox and received NO "update your browser" message! I was able to open all my old emails and write and send new emails (with all my Contacts being automatically detected when I went to type in the email address of the person I was sending the new email to)!
    In summary, you need to uninstall Firefox 4.0 being sure to click on the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" box during the uninstall process. Be sure to save/export all your old bookmarks before the uninstall process and make a note of all your old add-ons. Then reinstall whatever version of Firefox you are comfortable with. Apparently, my Firefox customizations had become corrupted at some point; removing the Firefox customizations during the uninstall process allowed any future Firefox version installed on my PC to start over with a clean slate (these corrupted settings would show up in whatever version of Firefox I had installed on my PC so removing them during the uninstall process was the key to solving all my Firefox bugs). I hope my suggestions help to solve your problem and good luck!

    In order to test the problem, I think my suggestion is better; at least as a first try. Without Firefox running and without ~/.mozilla; no misconfiguration should prevent Firefox to run. The options you suggest will try to disable any problematic configuration. It can be usefull if you need to start Firefox to fix a configuration problem; but as a firt try renaming the ~/.mozilla is better because you are sure that Firefox can't read anything that can hurt it. Only after having figured out that a bad ~/.mozilla is the cause of the problem, we can try to fix the configuration (or restart with a new configuration).

  • Tried to use Restore to return to pre-Firefox4 but now Firefox won't open and won't uninstall.

    After trying to maneuver the new Firefox 4.0 for a while and giving up, I wanted to go back to the 3.6.1.6 version. I used the Restore feature to try to go back to the pre-Firefox 4.0 dowload. Since then, Firefox won't open. I have tried to uninstall Firefox 3.6.1.6, which is listed in my installed programs in the Control Panel, but it doesn't do anything. At this point I don't know what to do. I want to re-instate the 3.6.1.6 version on my computer. Thanks.

    You're in a bit of a pickle here because you can't use System Restore to revert to 3.6.16. You probably now have version 1.9.2.x which is in part, files which were not removed when you installed FF4
    What you can try and do is use System Resore to undo the last restoration which should take you back to 4.0 again. If that fails, see this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_firefox
    If the undo restoration is successful, do the following to revert to 3.6.16
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop. If necessary, download the file with IE8 and choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox''' at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

  • Firefox won't open following update. Can't open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line

    I'm running Firefox on a Windows 7 machine. Firefox won't open following the latest update. I've read the help articles and it seems like I need to create a new profile because my settings have likely been corrupted. I'm unable to open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line. I've tried the following commands in the command line:

    Nothing happens with either command.
    I'm also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help article Re Virtual Browsing features possibly causing a problem. The article said to check the virtualization setting in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went thru all of the settings menus in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I didn't see anything that looked like 'virtualization" settings, so I assumed that this doesn't apply to me.

    What can I do?
    Thanks
    Kris

    Did you delete the profiles.ini file?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\&lt;profile&gt;\
    *Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    *Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
    You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
    *Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    *Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    *Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

  • Firefox won't open, says profile may be missing or inaccessable, help pages not helpful

    Firefox won't open at all. I get a "Profile Missing" window saying "it may be missing or inaccessable". This morning my connection quit mid-reset while it said it was going through everything and not to turn it off, since then it refuses to open. I tried everything I could think of. Tonight I managed to open an ancient IE and am here now, tried as much of the "Help Pages" suggestions as the site sent me to (none were what my computer has even though I'm running XP), but nothing fixed the problem. I removed Firefox and then re-installed, twice, it still won't open.
    HELP!

    I can find NO "profiles.ini" file anywhere. When I open the "default library" there are none of the files you say should be there.
    I have tried a whole new download to update, it won't open because there is no profile.
    I tried removing the program and re-downloading, still won't open.
    I am not tech savvy enough to do much of the messing around you are suggesting. I need someone to help!
    Also - this site is about the least "user friendly" site I've had to deal with in ages!
    I should have been able to reply to the email, but you didn't allow that, too.
    I need someone to somehow walk me through what to do. HELP!
