How do I change what Firefox opens documents with so I can print them?

I used to print documents for work. The would show up in separate tabs across the top. I click on it and print. Now all the documents go to an arrow on the side and when Ipull them up they are in wordpad and jibberish. please help.

Could you describe this in a little more detail?
First, are you opening PDF documents from a website? If Firefox is automatically downloading them instead of displaying them, you may be able to change that setting. Please see this article for more information: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]].
Second, instead of clicking items on the download panel to open them, try clicking the folder icon on the right to open the folder they're in with the file highlighted. What kind of file does Windows say it is? If you right-click the file, do you have the option to open it in another program?
Third, if the problem comes after printing, make sure the checkbox for "Print to file" is NOT selected in the print dialog.

How do I change what site opens in a new tab?

Every time I open a new tab, it opens in the Yahoo search engine. I just want to change it to either be blank or to a different page, but the Tools, Options, Tabs settings don't give you those options. It didn't always go straight to Yahoo, but some program I downloaded installed it and stuck it there.

Thank you for your help lolly. For those who found this not helpful, it might not be exactly where you want to be, however, it does get you looking in the right location. You may find yourself needing to go to Firefox | Add-Ons | Extensions | and there you should find something that does not look right, disable it.

Can't Print from Firefox on certain sites/files. Can print them w/IE!

All I get's a blank page.
3.6.10 Windows 7
I have uninstalled, then reinstalled my printer.
Many sites, print just fine, but those with "peripheral" files like PDF will not print.
Examples: Ehow - will NOT print out right.
Example - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
will not print.
btw - NONE of the solutions on that mozillazine page worked. :(
Would this have to do w/FIREFOX? or my PRINTER? I don't think it's the printer, b/c printer prints anything from IE>
A few months back, Firefox would print anything. Lately, it doesn't. Not sure the change, but I figure it must be a Firefox setting. I'd be forever in your debt for a clue......

I have Firefox ver. 6.0.2 and I also found I could not print a PDF file from the browser. After much hair pulling and strange language I decided to "discover a fix"
1 - The problem is with Firefox!!!
2 - The Fix Is as follows!
3 - Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader Installed!
4 - In Firefox click on Tools and select Options then Applications and select
under 'Content type' "Adobe Acrobat Document" and
under 'Action' scroll down to "Use Adobe Reader (default)"
5 - Now click OK and any PDF documents will now open in the Reader and
printing the PDF will work !!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I change my setting so documents no longer open automatically in an old microsoft word vs word10?

I was trying to download a document, however, it wanted to open it in word10 but I don't have that installed on my computer. I then browsed for the old version of word I have and preceded to have it automatically open the document there but when it did, it was symbols and things that were not readable. I tried to download the document again and now it pulls up word with that same document. I need to know how I can go have it set so that it doesn't automatically do that anymore but ask how it did initially? Help!

hello letjeff, it depends if you've done this change in firefox only or on a windows system level...
for filetype association in firefox please see: [[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]]
for filetypes in windows 7 see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

How to change what app opens a certain file type downloaded in GoogleChrome

How do you change what program is the default to open a certain type of file? My specific issue is torrent files downloaded in Chrome automatically open in Limewire but I want it to open in Vuze. Is this a Chrome setting or an OSX setting that I need to change? In finder the torrents show as Limewire files and when I click "open with" I can select Vuze, tell it to always use Vuze but it only applies to each individual file and not new ones that I download.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I found the answer myself - go to get info on a file and change the program and select apply to all. This seems to have worked for all new files

Select a file in question. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Open With section select the desired default application from the drop down menu. Then click on the Change All button.

"AVG Safe Search" often makes the "Enter" key not work, it may be opening their search in a new tab since they are the ones with the search by that name. Make sure that you do not have that extension see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Actually there is more than just the one extension that AVG might install, reinstall AVG Free without the Link Scanner component as mentioned in the above link and always refuse additional baggage offered during an install -- AVG Free does not ask in the free version it just includes it and there are no options once installed in the Free version for components..
Also make sure you don't have the "Ask Toolbar" or other toolbars you did not ask for. see the same link above for Toolbar problems.
It is definitely an extension that causing the behavior you see.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

Photoshop crashes when I open documents with a diferent ICC profile

i just installed an epson Plotter and since every time I try to open documents with different ICC profile after photoshop ask's me to change the color configuration it crashes. I really need help with this issue.

I solved the problem by creating a spare user account. thanks for the help. now the issue is that I can't find, the corrupt file or what ever is making the original problem happen which is still happening in the main user account. my guess is that the corrupt file comes from the printer.
everything started to happen after I installed the printer which is an EPSON Pro 7600.
any Ideas how could I find the problematic file.
and if any of you have any Tips how to install the printer with out having problems I will really appreciate it.
thanks everyone for the help. everything was clear enough to get to know how mac works.

Automatically open document with Pages 5

When I upgraded from Pages 4.3 to 5x, documents were automatically set by the installation to all open with version 5.0.x . Due to some initial problems with Pages 5, I changed the setting so that Pages 4.3 opened all documents. I did that by command-i, get info, open with Pages 4.3, and change all.
Now I want to default back to opening with pages 5.0.1, but if I do the same procedure (command-i, get info, open with Pages 5, and change all), Pages is still opening documents with version 4.3.

All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
That makes it impossible to get the System to stick with a choice in Finder.
Trash/archive whichever one you don't want.

Opening documents with custom layer structure, especially default layer unlocked...

Hi, is it possible to open documents such as jpg screenshots which are apparently a locked layer by default, as instead an unlocked layer?
Would it even be possible/easy to have a method of opening such documents with the following layers:
1 original image (unlocked)
2 blank transparent layer
3 white locked background
4 group folder called 'archive' with a copy of the original image, with the group set to invisible
Could a droplet be made to open documents with such a "precreated" layer set-up?
For example, I would like to take a screenshot or scan, drag it onto a droplet, and have it open with the layer structure outlined above.
Thank you thank you thank you...

"The image is NOT locked."
Shesh whatever you call it the image the background the initial layer "the so called layer" I would just like to change its default opening to UNLOCKED so at minimum, as I have said four times now, it can be placed in a folder called "Archive" without having to f'ing unlock it...scripting additional opening actions in addition to that at this point must be beyond your imagination
"Have you tried working on the so called locked layer?"
HAVE YOU READ THE ORIGINAL QUESTION????
Working on the background layer is not my primary concern, organizing layers automatically at the start of a workflow is...but nevertheless...erasing part of the background in order to reveal imported images or drawings created beneath it on new layers requires the background be unlocked (so erased sections are transparent rather than black), changing layer order requires unlocking, moving the background on a resized canvas requires unlocking....and of course placing it within a folder requires unlocking -- what the hell is the advantage of it being default locked?? why isn't this optional?
I can't imagine people working on complex images with multiple folders and forty plus layers in various folders and such -- nevertheless consistently want to leave the background layer just sitting there hanging out in its default locked state. I'm ALWAYS unlocking the damn layer...if only, for the FIFTH TIME, for organizational purposes (to change its layer order and place it within a folder).
SHESH!
"Methinks..." Oh please...next time read the question.
