How do I change it so that firefox does not refuse a realplayer video online?

I am trying to watch a video for my thesis (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/special_report/1999/09/99/iron_curtain/timelines/czech_2025.stm), so I downloaded the latest version of realplayer. When I tried to watch the video for the first time with realplayer, a firefox installation window popped up asking me to accept or decline realplayer's access to something (I don't exactly remember.) I chose to be safe and decline, because I thought the video would play anyway. However, after unistalling and reinstalling again, the video will still not play with realplayer and I can't refind the firefox window to click 'accept' this time. Help! This is very frustrating.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.

  • How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

    Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

    I already made an accoount, so how can I change it so that I do not have to choose a type of credit card. Cause it does not give me the option of NONE

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly ? The instructions work for me e.g. selecting a free app in the App Store app and tapping on 'free', then 'install app' and 'create new apple id' - filling in my details then gave a 'none' option on the payment details :

  • Facebook says that firefox does not re cognize other web sites for tagged photos.

    I have firefox and when I get on facebook and use my profile to view photos that I have been tagged in. they do not show up. all comments show, but when I click on view photo, it tells me that firefox does not recognize other web sites and wants me to approve them. this has never happened to me till I updated to this fire fox.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • How do I change the website that Firefox automatically defaults to (Yahoo search) when opening a new tab?

    Whenever I open a new tab, the new tab opens to a yahoo search page. It used to open to just a blank tab and changed somehow. I've been unsuccessful at changing it back.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I change my settings so Firefox will NOT always open a downloaded .amz file in Firefox?

  • Since I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1, it has been constantly freezing up. Now it does not work at all and I am unable to remove my profile. How can I remove my profile if Firefox does not work?

    I finally got so tired of Firefox freezing my computer that I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Upon reinstall, it will not work at all and I am unable to delete my old user profile. Is there any way to get rid of this profile so I can give one last attempt to get Firefox to work before switching permanently to Google Chrome? I really liked Firefox for years until they screwed it up with the recent changes.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Windows Internet Explorer 7 has a Favorites feature that Firefox does not have?

    The feature which I will like to see in Firefox is the ability to type a first letter of the Bookmark that I want to get to in the listing.
    In Windows Internet Explorer 7 favorites listing, I can easily reach the part of my favorites list by typing the first letter of that part of the list I wish to reach. Obviously this makes this easier than having to scroll down to the part of the list I want using Firefox Bookmarks.

    Cor-el:
    I know you're trying to help, but your not being clear. I don't know what you are talking about. For example: How do I open the Bookmarks in the sidebar? Where is the sidebar? How do I get to the sidebar?
    Look, let me be helpful to you in your efforts to help me and others who have this question. What you need to do is tell us step by step what to do. For example, say you were telling us how to open up the Firefox browser. Here's an example of proper instructions:
    1. Press Start on your computer.
    2. Look for the Firefox Icon in the left panel and click on it.
    3. That will start the Firefox browser.
    Look, that's a simple example which, I'm sure, everyone can relate to. What's important is that you see what I mean by giving proper instructions.
    Remember Cor-el, some users do not have your level of understanding. So, you may have to assume you're talking to someone who is sort of brand new to this browser.
    Thanks for replying anyway.

  • 5740--downloaded eleven pages twice(unintentionally). how do i clear printer so that it does not pri

    how does one clear printer when accidentally downloads several pages two times?  Or for that matter, how does one clear printer when downloaded material is not wanted to be printed?

    I did that already, and it cleared the applets for Safari, but not for Firefox.

  • Change of language in Firefox does not work. I have images of it.

    I cannot change language to Spanish as some time I had. Why?
    Menu bar is: File Edit View History... but when in Spanish: Archivo Editar Ver Historial.
    And so on with other menus and tools.
    I have images of both.

    * To change the list of preferred languages that you send to websites, see
    ** [[Settings for fonts, languages, and pop-ups]]
    In what way didn't that work? That list of preferred languages only has an effect on sites that display pages in a particular language based on the ''Accept-Language'' header. Examples include Mozilla and Bing.
    * https://www.mozilla.org
    * https://www.bing.com
    Even such sites have only translated their pages in a limited set of languages. For example, if you put ''Zulu [zu]'' at the top of your list of languages, you're not going to find many multilingual sites where that preference has an effect.

    Thanks for your help. First answer worked very well.

  • It is disappointing that Firefox does not have an add-on to support the Google toolbar, American Express toolbar and the United Shopping Mile Toolbar. Without this functionality, internet explorer becomes a better option.

    This incompatibility occurred with the upgrade to Firefox 5.0. While instability was a problem with the earlier version of Firefox, at least I could use the previously mentioned toolbars.

    The GTB '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about the GTB this morning. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    For the others, check for an updated version of those toolbars from wherever you got them from originally.

  • How do I cancel a subscription that apparently does not exist??

    Somebody PLEASE help. I have found Adobe are charging my credit card monthly (£17.15). I raised an account and find no subscription purchases on there. So, I went through my ITunes account just in case I have inadvertently bought something (I have a "free" Adobe Reader on there). There is no subscription noted there either. It seems impossible to communicate directly with Adobe. How on Earth do I cancel something I have no knowledge of and no trace of ?? Has anybody else had this experience?

  • Firefox does not load certain Youtube videos?

    I am running the 08/05/2012 build of Nightly and I am unable to load Youtube videos with ads, e.g. VeVo videos. I have tried disabling all add-ons and that did not resolve the issue.
    Videos work fine on Chrome and IE. How should I approach this?

    i've just seen that a problem with flash & the current nightly version was mentioned in another support question too. so probably you cannot fix it on your end & will have to waint until an update fixes it again. nightly versions are not intended for daily use and may be unstable.
