I cannot open files via firefox on sharepoint 2010, i can however open the files on IE.

I cannot open files such as word, excel, pdfs on sharepoint when i use Sharepoint. I can open them ok on IE.
i have updated the firefox to the latest version 8.
Still no joy.
Is there a add on i need to install?

Looks like the site might make use of Adobe Flash. At this time we don't have support for the Android Adobe Flash plugin. We are working on getting Flash to work but it has been a difficult path as the Android Flash plugin is quite different from the desktop version.

  • Cannot publish Excel workbook to Sharepoint 2010 : "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"

    I am trying to save an Excel 2010 file to a Sahrepoint 2010 document library but keep getting the error:
    "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location"
    Googling this suggests enabling "Desktop Experience" on the server which I have done. Excel Services Application is Started.
    Has anyone come across this and been able to resolve successfully? I am wondering if this is more security related but the security set-up looks fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi Sally, thanks for the response.  Problem is the issue occurs with all users not just me.
    On the server-side do you know if the full Office installation must exist for this to work?
    The reason I think it may be security related in some way is that on another server we can access one site collection but not another.  The first site collection shows the various libraries available and the other gives the same error: "You
    can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location".  
    It's proving to be very frustrating!

  • I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

    I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

    Thanks Rob.
    I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
    I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

  • My home page is google and it works but when I open a new tab it displays an error message :Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.ht

    I've made sure a dozen times that my home page is set correctly, and when I hit the home button next to the search bar it works and takes me right to google BUT whenever i open a new tab i get the error that my page cannot load and the web url that it keeps trying to remember is in the error message:
    Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.
    of course the last dot is not the url anymore but the end of the sentence for the error message, but i don't ever use chrome ever on my laptop only my cell so what is going on????? help fix god please!!!!!!

    Do you have the FastStart extension?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder

    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

  • How can I open Pandora via Firefox?

    OS 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.13. Always opened Pandora Radio via Firefox until last week, when it opens to a page that says, "Oh man. Our servers must be down or something." I am able to open Pandora via Safari. How can I open Pandora via Firefox?

    The more usual method may be to leave a Firefox window open and use tabbed browsing, rather than leaving just the History Library running whilst Firfox is otherwise not in use.
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder#Create_a_new_profile_and_migrate_your_old_data <br>-- ^-- clickable link -- (blue) --
    Also maybe you may consider working from Bookmarks rather than history, and note that Firefox may be set to start with the previous tabs reopening

  • I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

    i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
    okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
    i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

    can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

  • Strange message: "Firefox can't find the file at /b" Please advise.

    When I open Firefox I get this message: “Firefox can't find the file at /b". As a browser Firefox is working for me but I have to click the google search button to connect to the internet. I have tried everything I can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling and updating firefox but to no avail. Please advise. Thank you!!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

    Do you have any idea how to get rid of this annoying pop-up? I searched for that file name on Google, but nothing came up.
    This only started happening after the Scareware program, Open Cloud Security, infected my computer a few days ago. My wife got into my registry to remove Open Cloud, but now I am left with this annoying Firefox problem. I have to close the annoying window TWICE to get back to Drudge.
    This happens 6 times per hour.

  • Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm

    I deleted a stack of files and must have accidentally deleted this one. I restored my computer and all the other files came back except this one. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and still I get Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm
    This version also won't let me use my AVG plug in? Says it's not compatible

    hello tanisha625, it looks like some program has overwritten the default new tab page. you can either install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
    enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''about:newtab'''.
