How to undo "remember my choice" when opening a downloaded document in firefox (windows 8).

I need to open a pdf in the firefox broswer, but since I clicked "open in TWINUI", and remember my choice, it doesn't let me open in the broswer anymore. How do I change that preference?

You can change file actions in Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

  • When opening Apple Mail links 2 Firefox Windows Open, The top one is blank and the one behind it contains the web link page???

    Whether with previous version of Firefox, or new one (3.6.4), when I open an Apple Mail link, Firefox opens 2 windows. Top window is blank, window behind it contains web page for mail link that I hit. I can't find anything in preferences of mail or Firefox to resolve this issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have discovered one solutionto my problem, which is not really convenient and is something I don't have to do with Safari 5 -- If I have Firefox open, but not a window open, then when I click on an Apple Mail link, only 1 window opens. But I don't always want to have my browser open, so this is kinda annoying. I'd rather not use Safari -- Firefox is so much better. Please fix this! Thanks.

  • How to stop automatic date changes when opening an old document?

    I use Pages to create my invoices. The problem I'm having is this:  when there is a question about an invoice and I need to reopen it the date changes from the original date (which I need) to today's date.  I understand why it does this, and I want it to do this when I create the thing, but is there a way to keep it from happening from saved documents?
    As a follow up question:  it must be very simple to find the date the document was created.  Could someone please tell me where to find this?
    Thanks in advance

    You likely put a date stamp on your invoice via the menu hiearchy, Insert > Date & Time. Highlight the date string, then from a right-mouse button menu, choose Edit Date & Time... You will see another pop-up that gives you some control over your newly inserted Date & Time.

  • How can I get my mail to open and read documents in Firefox after upgrading to Sony Vaio Gatew 2.4.0

    I upgraded my Sony Vaio Gate software to 2.4.0.06210 on Wednesday night. Afterwards, my mail functionality is not working with Firefox. It will work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox when I try to do the following such as clicking on check mail, open inbox or trying to open any views or documents.
    It will not open, but only states trying to load and indicates the following:unknown property text flow - declaration dropped and it is referencing my mail server in trying to read data from it. However, if I right click and clikd on a new tab it will read in the data and then if i open a new tab again it will open the document. It's not able to stack the data and hold it properly now for some reason. What do I need to do to get it to work with Firefox? Thanks. edit

    Hi Rick,
    do you mean I could get a direct download link to After Effects 11.0.4? So I don't have to run this patch that never seems to work?
    Hard to believe all the Adobe tech support guys I've spoken to wouldn't have mentioned that, I've spent hours and hours on the phone already....
    I will try!
    thank you

    How can I deselect  the PDF choice when opening a file sent to me in an email?

    Bernd, no this is not a PDF  file it is a TEXTPAD file.  I have just upgraded to Windows 7.  When I tried to open the TEXTPAD file I received a message Windows 7 did not recognize the format and asked me to select another format.  I selected Adobe PDF and it would not open in Adobe PDF so now I want to deselect Adobe PDF.  Can you tell me how to deselect?

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • "Last modified" attribute changes when opening a Excel-document

    Hi
    We are running Server 2008 R2 as terminal servers and fileserver. 
    When opening an Excel document stored on the fileserver so changes "date modified" at the opening regardless if you save the document or not. This is a problem for users who want to keep track of when the document has been changed "for real".
    Now, "last modified" changes when the document was last read instead, this confuse the users...
    If we test the same procedure on our older terminal server environment, Server 2003 or on our clients (Windows 7) it works how we wanted. The "last modified" only changes when you save the document, and not when you are opening it. Office
    2007 is installed on both our new terminal server environment (Server 2008 R2) and the old one (Server 2003). 
    Can someone explain to me why it behaves like this? And if anyone got a solution? It's only occur on Excel-documents and not the others Office documents...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi tomburken,
    It seems that this is not a server issue .
    This issue may due to the " automatically save " executed by some office scripts .
    To get the accurate assistance please post this issue to Microsoft office forum :

  • I received a pop up regarding security certificates when opening a PDF document today.  Is it safe to say "yes" to the installation of the security updates?

    I received a pop up regarding security certificates when opening a PDF document today.  Is it safe to say "yes" to the installation of the security updates?

    If you opened it with Adobe Reader, then yes: "Yes" is safe (I just did the same thing one minute ago).

  • Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

    Hello guys,
    I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
    Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
    Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
    Thanks
    Jeyaraman S

    Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
    Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

  • FM GUI_UPLOAD gives PC036 "Error when opening the download file".

    Dear all
    I'm having a problem with a particular PC.
    A program which calls FM GUI_UPLOAD gives the error PC036 "Error when opening the download file".
    The file we are trying to upload is a text file, with tab delimiter.
    If the same user executes the same program from another PCs, it works fine.
    If another user executes the program in the "problematic" PC, it gives the error.
    So, the problem is PC-related.
    I checked SAP GUI Codepage, and was the same as other PCs.
    I cheched regional configuration, and was also the same as other PCs.
    The operating  system is Windows XP, and the SAP GUI version is 7.10,  File version 7100.2.7.3077, Build 967944 , Patch level 7.
    SAP version is ECC6.
    I searched across forums, SAP note, and the web, but I couldn't find anything.
    I would be grateful if someone could give me ideas.
    Thanks in advance

    Check for Third Party plugins. Make sure that you only have plugins that come with InDesign application. Remove custom/sample plugins and try again.
    If the above doesn't work, delete InDesign preferences (at C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign).

  • Error 0xE0000235 when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.

    Unfortunately, Error 0xE0000235 occurs when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.
    I am installing the GV 800 GeoVision 32/64Bit 16CH Video Capture Card onto the server.
    Please urgently assist.
    Answer in clear English. Cryptic answers not welcome. Yes...I know you are an intelligent, highly valuable expert on the world's leading edge technology.

    Hi, I'd like to inform you that the error code 0xE0000235 refers to "Error in WOW64". This can be caused by corrupted or incompatible driver of the Video Capture Card. Similar issue may also occur on other driver on other operating system and I don't think
    this can be caused by SBS2008 blocking the driver.
    I suggest you contact with GeoVision Technical Support (http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/4_0.asp) and see if their driver should work on SBS2008 and make sure that you have downloaded
    latest driver from their site:

  • Undo "Remember my choice" selection

    How can I undo a "Remember my choice" selection?
    When accessing a site I was presented with the message:
    "A script from "International Business Machines Corporation" is requesting enhanced abilities that are UNSAFE and could be used to compromise your machine or data: Run or install software on your machinem, Read private data from any site or window, Read and upload local files.
    Allow these abilities only if you trust this source to be free of viruses or malicious programs.
    I said NO and also checked the check box Remember my choice. Now I realize that I actually need to allow this but I don't get the option anymore (since I checked the Remember my choice check box).
    How can I undo this selection so that I can allow the script to run.

    You can check on the '''about:config''' page to see if you can find a '''capability.principal.codebase.p*''' pref with the name of that website.<br />
    If you find such a pref the remove that specific p* (p0 or p1) section via the right-click context menu and Reset.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
