Firefox4 always cannot remember how to open these types of file

When I download certain types of file, for example, .rar file, firefox4 always cannot remember how to open these types of file next time. The check box “automatically use the same method to handle the file” in the download popup window looks grey and cannot be checked. Also, these types never appear in the list of option-application. I check previously installed firefox 3.6, these types are all called (application/***). What’s more, when I want to turn off computer, as long as firefox 4 is opened, it will lose response and prevent Windows from turning off. Whatever I do, reinstalling firefox, deleting profile and even reinstall Windows, I cannot get rid of those issues. I think these are bugs of firefox4. I hope they will be fixed as soon as possible.

Purchase a legal copy of Windows instead of attempting to pirate it. You will then have the installation disks you'll need and won't have to worry about opening Torrent files.

  • The target cannot open this type of file

    I have a new laptop with windows 8.1 and when I try to extract the first tutorial file, I get the message 'The target cannot open this type of file'.  How do I deal with this?

    You can choose Other...from the open with menu. This will allow you to browse you applications folder for a different app to open the file with. Preview.app sounds like the best bet for you since you want to see the file quickly & not wait for an image editor to load.
    Another option would be to control or right click on the file or a choose a number of files by command clicking on the files you want to see & choose slideshow from the contextual menu. This function can also be accesses from the gear icon at the top of the Finder window. This will allow you to view your photos in a slideshow manner (one at a time) or see them all at once (in an Expose manner). You can also send them directly to iPhoto from here.
    To change which application opens your jpeg files select the file & command or right click & choose get info from the contextual menu. Near the middle of the get info window there is an option that says Open With: Choose an application from the drop down menu or choose other to browse for the application of your choice that will open the jpeg file. If you want your chosen application to always open these types of files select Change All. Once the file is selected the get info window can also be accessed from the file menu or by pressing command I.

  • Colorsync Utility cannot open this type of file

    Hi
    I have imported jpg files into my IMac G5 and only some of them can be opened, most cannot with the above mentioned message.
    If I look at the "Open with" nothing is set but my choices are programmes like Photoshop which takes too long to load.
    Does anyone please have any suggestions.
    Many thanks as it is very frustration!

  • Help - Cannot Remember how to do this !

    I have a string data separated by a comma : xxx,aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,yyy,   etc..... stored in sql table.
    What is the command/technique to break up this string and display this data one on top of another :
    xxx
    aaa
    bbb
    ccc
    ddd
    eee
    yyy
    I remember doing it before but cannot remember how to do it and dont know what it is called to research.
    Thanks

    I found some old code using cfloop index and list, seems to work :
    <cfloop index = "i" list = "#carrierTracking#">
    <cfoutput>
    <cfinput type="text" name="carrierTracking" value="#i#">
    </cfoutput>
    <br>
    </cfloop>
    Now in my haste, I discoverd that this field originally was a textarea. When it is displayed, it just uses <cfoutput>#textareaName#</cfouput> so that the textarex box is eliminated. However, this is where the problem exists. One of the lines/sentence is aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff,.......etc, and without the textarea, this line continues to the right, throwing the screen out of whack.
    If I display it as a textarea, I think that would solve the problem. But is there anyway to do it without the textarea ? I dont want to display the lines.
    Thanks

  • HT4168 Have used Works08..Pages ver.3.0.3...How to open these old files won't  in my new Pages5 app

    Have used Works08..Pages ver.3.0.3...How to open these old files in my new Pages5 app

    You can't. You can install iWork 08 and update but it will only work for iWork documents. You need to have iWork 09 or Pages 09 to read Pages 08 documents.
    Pages 5 can read Pages 09 documents but a lot of them will look messed up as Pages 5 doesn't have all the features that Pages 09 have.
    My advise is use Pages/iWork 08 for you old documents. Pages 5 is only for those who moves/work on documents over iCloud.

    Hi Dave,
    I'd like to assist!
    Are you having a hard time finding the file? If so, you can go here:
    Files
    Be sure to use your Adobe ID and password.
    If you are having trouble opening it in .docx try checking to be sure the file is named accordingly.
    Let me know if that helps!
    Kind regards, Stacy

    Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

  • Always ask before opening this type of file - IE11

    Hi,
    I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with Internet Explorer and they way it handles opening file from the Internet. Sometimes it gives a prompt like this:
    Which is great, I want to turn this on for all common document types (e.g. PDF, Word Docs, Zips). What I've found is you have to either untick the option 'Always ask before opening this type of file', or delete a registry key in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute
    When I check my PC I find I don't have that option and the registry keys aren't present.
    Could someone clarify this for me? I'm running IE11 and Windows 7. 
    Thanks
    Dave

  • How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

    How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable audio file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

    In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
    So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
    1.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.jpg
    2.  Save a JPEG as:  abc
    3.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.
    4.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.xxx
    Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
    1.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with):  abc
    2.  No difference than 3 on a PC.
    3.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.
    4.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.xxx
    How is it different from the above on a Mac?
    Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here?  I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).
