How do I automatically connect to my ISP when I launch Firefox like Internet Explorer does (Firefox is set as my default browser)?

When Microsoft Internet Explorer was my browser the dial-up connection screen to my internet service provider would come up automatically when I launched the browser.
Now that I have made Mozilla Firefox my default browser this no longer happens. Launching Firefox results in an error message which says the website cannot be found. I then have to launch Internet Explorer, connect to my ISP, close Internet Explorer, then launch Firefox.
This is a bit tedious. Can Firefox perform the same connect to ISP action automatically just like Internet Explorer does? If so, how do I activate this?
Thanks

  • How to stop automatic connection to itune store when opening itunes?

    when ever i try to open i tunes without internet connection,a warning diallog box appears saying that  'itunes cannot connect to itunes store.check internet connection'.ive tried disabling store,podcasts and everythng in itune preferences but still doesnt make any change..please help me out..please..:(

    There is no issue here. If you have no Internet connection, it's impossible to access the store, therefore iTunes will alert you with this message so you don't get confused. You can use all the other offline features on iTunes, so you shouldn't be going through so much trouble to solve something which isn't a problem. There is no way to stop iTunes automatically attempting to access the store when you open iTunes, so you'll have to deal that message. If I'm not getting the issue, please tell me.

  • How to Play Documented type file in Firefox like Internet Explorer

    I am student in 3d Graphics, so i viewing some tutorials like Digital Tutors Vedios.So I have a problem to open documented file in FIREFOX. The same file is opening in INTERNET EXPLORER. But I like to use FIREFOX only.

    From what I've seen, none of the Linksys cameras have the option of DynDNS embedded in them. You could try setting DynDNS on your router itself. If you're using a Linksys router, all Linksys routers support DynDNS. Most other routers support DynDNS too.
    Not too sure about hiding the controls in Firefox. Have you tried Safari for Windows? One would think that it should work the same for Windows and Mac OS.

  • After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

    Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    How come my macbook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my wifi when it is saved under known networks and i have the box checked under network settings?

    Random35,
    does your wi-fi router filter access by MAC address? If it does, then have you added your MacBook Pro’s MAC address to your router’s whitelist of acceptable MAC addresses?

  • When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

    When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
    It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

    There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
    Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
    System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
    Replaceii[spacebar]
    With
    I[spacebar]
    Press return
    Quit System Preferences
    Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
    In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

  • How to use multiple JREs (1.5.0_20 and 1.6.0_07) with Internet Explorer 8?

    Hi!
    Question about the problem mentioned in subject.
    I have configured that JNLP opens with 1.5 version, both versions are enabled in Java Control Panel Runtime Settings but when I try to start a desktop java console says:
    Java Web Start 1.5.0_22
    Using JRE version 1.6.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
    And the opening of the desktop creates an exception:
    Java Web Start - Invalid Argument Error
    TooManyArgumentsException[ Too many arguments supplied: {C:\WINDOWS\Temporary, Internet, Files\Content.IE5\....
    I'm trying to open my desktop with 1.5 version and other programs with 1.6 version. What is it that I still need to do? I'm kind of confused with this. Some of my collagues have succeeded with this and some doesn't, with the same configuration.
    So the question is, how to use multiple JREs with IE8 so that one application uses 1.5 version and others 1.6 version?
    Br,
    Katri

    Once you can come up with an actual question, I might look at this more closely.

  • How do I return functionality of my bookmarks menu before Firefox update 23.0.1? I don't LIKE internet explorer, now my firefox is acting like IE; gee thanks.

    How can I restore the functionality of the Bookmarks shortcut. I DO NOT LIKE internet explorer, it is cumbersome and slow. How can I modify the bookmarks shortcut to act like a menu again? I do not like the bookmarks and history pop-out... Firefox was above the bar, now I have 2 copies of internet explorer on my computer, one with an icon that looks like an E and one that looks like my old firefox browser.... This was a result of the update 23.0.1 this morning, it was perfect when I went to bed last night.... Maybe I should use Chrome?

    does it work as expected when you launch firefox in safe mode once (to rule out the interfering of any addons)?

    Below is how it is being done.  This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine.  This issue with IE is new.  Let me know if you have any more ideas.

  • How can I automatically connect to multiple connecting streams? to have 2 way communications foreach

    I need to setup a send stream that will only allow each farID to connect 1 time, and automatically connect to the connector so I ca have 2 way communication.
    I learned if in my onpeerconnect function i do this...:
    var c:Object = new Object;
    c.onPeerConnect = function(subscriber:NetStream):Boolean
       if(ready==ready)
       if(receiveStream==null)
        setupReceiveStream(subscriber.farID);
        return true;
        else
        return false;
    it seems to work fine, and they will start a 2 way connection BUT i want to potentially allow multiple connections, and setup multiple receive streams so im trying to com up with a solution to check if its already streaming to the peer. I wish I could just do this:
    var c:Object = new Object;
    c.onPeerConnect = function(subscriber:NetStream):Boolean
        setupReceiveStream(subscriber.farID);
        return true;
    But, for some reason it just keeps returning true over and over and over it doesnt just do it once on the connect, i get something like this:
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start
    So, heres what im trying to do:
    protected function setupSendStream():void
    sendStream = new NetStream(netConnection, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
    sendStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, sendStreamHandler);
    var c:Object = new Object;
    c.onPeerConnect = function(subscriber:NetStream):Boolean
    var test:Boolean=true;
    var THEStream:NetStream = null;
    for each (var stream:NetStream in sendStream.peerStreams)
    if (stream["farID"] == subscriber.farID)
    well=false;
    trace("found it!");
    if(test)
    setupReceiveStream(subscriber.farID);
    trace("returned true");
    return true;
    else
    trace("returned false");
    return false;
    sendStream.client=c;
    sendStream.publish("MyChannel");
    trace("SETUP SEND STREAM");
    cirrusStatus=connectedReady;
    But it seems like after it returns true and runs the setup, so i can have 2 way communication, it runs the onpeerconnect function 1 more time after it returns true, and its a return false and then it makes the play fail and it ruins the connection.
    Any ideas on how I can listen for connects to my sendStream, then have it get the farID and then connect to that farID?
    keep in mind im trying to potentially support multiple connections to my sendstream which i think will be easy, but whats more confusing is having multiple receivestream connections

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • It will automatically connect to I Tune when I plugged in I phone or I pad mini. It didn't work since last month. I went to Apple shop ask for help but a Mr. told me you didn't support the Technic for windows, is that right?

    Hi
    My problem is I cannot connect my I Phone or I Pad Mini with my I Tune on HP note book. It was automatically connected but didn't work since last month. I went to Apple Store for asking help. A Mr. told me that you didn't provide help for Windows Is that right? How can I connect, Sync, and update my information?

    Apple Stores won't directly support issues with your Windows PC, even if the issue is iTunes which you need to configure your iDevice.

  • How do I physically connect the SCXI 1180 when using a 1520 and 1346 adapter?

    Here's my current configuration:
    SCXI 1000 chassis
    x2 SCXI 1520 Bridge Modules (Slot 1, and Slot 2)
    1180 Feedthrough panel.
    I recently purchased a 1346 adapter so I can use the feedthrough to access AI channels on the DAQ card.
    My question is, how do I physically connect the ribbon cable of the 1180? Does it plug into the BACK of the last module in the chassis (ie. bridge module2 in slot 2) or does it plug into the other 49pin connector on the 1346 adapter?
    If you read the installation manual for the 1180 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371062a.pdf (Page 2-3)
    And the installation manual for the 1346 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320722b.pdf (page 2)
    it seems the instruction contradict eachother. The 1180 manual says connect it to the back of the module
    the note under Fig.2 on page 2 of the 1346 says you cannot have anything plugged into the module next to the one that has the 1346 plugged into it; in my case that's module 2...

    I have the 1346 plugged into the first module in slot 1.
    But let me try and clairfy what you're saying...
    "Then the cable from the 1346 kind of loops back into the chassis and through the 1180". So this is my answer? But I'm actually taking  the cable from the 1180 and plugging it into the other 49-pin connector on the 1346. Sorry, symantics...
    "...it must be on the first card when using a 1520". By "it" are you referring to the 1346 (which is how it's currently configured) or the 1180 cable?
    and lastly; why does the 1180 need to go into slot 2? I can currently fill both slots (1&2) with the 1520's and with the 1346 plugged into module1/slot1, I can pass the ribbon cable around back of module2 and into the 1346.
    Is there some other reason beside potential space limitations that you'd use the feedthrough in slot2?
    Thanks for your info and patience!
