How do i make firefox automatically open a file. "Do this automatically with files like this from now on." does NOT work.
I have firefox set to Open .wav files with VLC and i have the check box marked to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." But every time i click download for a .wav voicemail from gmail, i get the same dialog box. I just want firefox to hand the downloaded file to VLC and play it. I don't want to have to click anything after i click the download link. Isn't that action what i'm telling firefox to do after i mark the checkbox with "Do this automatically with file like this from now on." ? Isn't that implied with my selection of the box? How can i fix this?i want to click a "download" link for a .wav voice mail in Gmail and have it automatically play in VLC without any further interaction from me.
No it's saving the preferences and the check box remains checked from session to session. It will even continue to ask me to what to do with the file even in the same session when i try to download the same file again 5 seconds after i downloaded it the first time.

Hello...
I updated my browser to the last versoin of firefox (31). But I have a problem with mozilla. why tha toolbar of alexa does not work on it?After a quick search in the addon.mozilla.org page, it looks like that add on is still compatible with version 31. Please try to [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]] or make a back up of the add on folder in the profile folder and reinstall the add on. [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?
I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems. It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

Try resetting your iPad:
Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings. -
The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.
Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps! -
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.

I just allowed FireFox to update itself. Now the version is at 25.0.1
Running on Windows XP Pro version 2002 SP2. FireFox has ALWAYS worked. NOW IT DOESNT. I can't even use it to connect to my own router login screen. IT IS DEAD.
RESET DID NOT WORK
SAFE MODE DID NOT WORK
What the F*** happened?2.Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
The detailed instructions go into firewall config bs. HOW DO I remove Firefox from my program's list of trusted or recognized programs? What does this have to do with Firewalls? Why is this happening in the first place? Can I revert to an earlier version. My Firewall is OFF. These instructions suck. -
I did the latest update to my I pad 2 and lost Safari . I was instructed to switch the Java script on which I did but Safari is still not working properly . how do I get everything back after this software update.
Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

word womp will not play because it says firefox has a bug in 3.6.14
Your More system details list shows a Firefox 3.6.14 user agent, so it looks that the update didn't succeed. You can try to update another time.

How do I make Firefox always open on my homepage?
If I close it when it's open on another page, when opening again, it opens on the last page rather than the home page.
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page" -
I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.
OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

An example: On the current page, clicking (single or double click) on items in the page heading produce no result.
This has been noted on my e-mail accounts with Yahoo.co.uk, Postmaster.co.uk and gmail.com, Barclays bank and other business and commercial sites. The main problem is caused by the inability to sign/log in.HI Bev,
*"I've tried safari, firefox and camino and it's the same for all of them."*
Since this is happening on all of your browsers I'm inclined to think it's the Parental Controls causing the glitch. Can you disable Parental Contols and see if the problem persists?
Keep in mind you can only enable and disable Parental Control's from your admin account.
Also, try repairing disk permissions and see if that helps...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Open System Preferences/Accounts. Click the gold padlock bottom left side of the window. You will be prompted for your admin password. Now select your personal account in the panel on the left. Now, make sure the box next to: Allow user to administer this computer is checked. Quit System Preferences and restart your Mac. Try internet access ...
One other thing. I noticed in your profile you are running 10.5.6. You need to be up to 10.5.8.
You can download and install the 10.5.8 combo update available here.

Tried google - no posts.
It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.
