How do i get firefox to view localhost websites? (XAMPP,Apapche, Php, MySQL))

im trying to view locally hosted websites on my PC but firefox fails to display the wepages or the apache control panel each time i try???

Hi,
If the installation, configuration and settings of the XAMPP package are correct, you can try accessing via the addresses '''localhost''' or '''127.0.0.1''' after the web server has been started. Please also see [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html this].

  • How do I get Firefox to view the latest version of webpages when I return, instead of having to click on the refresh button?

    I couldn't find the option to choose on Firefox to view the latest version of web pages automatically each time I return. I've been needing to hit the refresh button.

    You can make Firefox always reload a page by changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''frequency''' to bring up a small number of preferences
    # Double-click on the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' and change its value to '''1'''
    For more details on that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

  • How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

    This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
    I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
    A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
    So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

    Strange problem.
    Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
    Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
    For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
    - a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
    - a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
    - a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
    If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

  • I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

    I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

    by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
    Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
    * http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
    #If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    #* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
    #* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
    #*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
    #proceed with the install.
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
    -- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
    Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
    If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
    Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

    If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
    If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

  • When a tab is close, firefox next shows the tab to the right. How do I get firefox to show the tab to the LEFT of the closed tab?

    I have 3 tabs open named 1, 2 and 3. If I close tab 2, Firefox will automatically show tab 3. How do I get Firefox to show tab 1 instead of tab 3? Basically, move to the left instead of the right?
    I searched about:config using words like: tab, open, close, next, left and right and compared the results on
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries to get a good idea of what each entry did. Learned a lot and reconfigured other aspects of Firefox in the process! But, I would really like to alter the way Firefox processes tab closures.
    Thank you.

  • How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

    Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
    I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • How can I get firefox to show everything from left to right, without a curser that I have to move, in win-xp?

    It used to be ok. I had a firexox teeshirt from way far back, firefox 1.0. Then i had a hemorrhagic stroke, about 3 years ago. Now i'm back, in a new place, for two months now.
    (I use my left hand now...) and once again, i have a desktop, with win-xp (and five internal harddrives, and a 600w ps.) Anyway, for the first time with my new desktop, there is a cursor in the bottom of firefox, and it doesn't show everything, left to right unless i move it.
    I've been out of commission, with only a laptop, with win-7-64bit edition, that i got just 7 months before my stroke. My sister threw away all of my desktops...many of which i built. The doctor said i may die...so my sister didn't even wait, but threw away my CLOTHES AND BOOKS AND COMPUTERS (except for the laptop), but she saved most of my harddrives...i guess i taught her how to save harddrives.
    Anyway, it's been three years, since i've had no 32bit computer with win-xp, and i can't figure out how to make things go back to the way i'm used to. HELP! I was in your forums, when my e-mail was [email protected], which it will be again , soon. But for how, how do i get firefox to show all, left to right, without a bottom cursor? i know it's possible. (And while i'm asking questions, how can i, tony mendola, get another firefox 1.0 tee shirt? i would even pay for it, even though i'm on social security-disability, with only one hand working..and no work. I used to wear it, proudly when fixing computers for others.)

    Hi manni394, what version of Firefox are you running now?
    Firefox 22 has a new way of setting the default zoom level: it is based on your Windows font size setting. So, if you set Windows fonts to 125% (enlarged 25%), your Firefox pages also will be enlarged 25%. On pages that do not adjust their layout, you may get a horizontal scroll bar.
    To reduce the zoom on a page, hold Ctrl and tap the - key (the one on the numeric keypad or the one on the number row of the keyboard). The zoom should be reduced for each tap.
    If you want to globally adjust your zoom level to be lower, you can use either of these add-ons:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint]
    If you already have one of those add-ons, check the default/global zoom level in case it needs to be adjusted.

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

  • How do I get firefox to up date from a standard user account....or at least tell me to log on as administrator and update?

    I do almost all my work from a standard user account. Firefox neither automatically updates (as I set it to) or informs me an update is available.
    How do I get Firefox to update automatically when I am logged on as a standard user....or at least tell me to switch to admin account and update?

    Let me add a note to the developers: WE ARE ALL NOT ADMINISTRATORS!
    Even on our own personal computers.
    I claim that administrator accounts are for administering, or developing; not using. I wouldn't be an administrator for longer than is necessary than walk down the centre of a highway with my eyes closed.
    I'll repeat: Mozilla really should prevent the 'Update' button showing to an ordinary user if it's not going to be possible to use it.
