I keep getting asked to download Firefox files with long file names like {C4EB194E-E...F$351}.html. How do I stop these?

Here's another one:
{77CFD6E4-7052-4BOB-AD73-65609FA03FEC}.html
It's described as a Firefox document, 6.35kb

As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions?

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

I get a dialogue box asking "What should Firefox do with this file" Options open with or save file. My wife selected save file and now it only opens note pad and displays the text of the file to be saved. OK in windows Internet Explorer.

Seem to have two versions of Firefox on my computer and I keep getting asked to help Firefox every time I use Firefox

I have two versions of Firefox on my computer and every time I use Firefox I keep being asked to help Firefox by answering a question about the product.

Which two versions?

When I try to open a website, a dialog bok opens heading "Opening Serch". I t asks 'What should Firefox do with this file?' instead of opening that web page.

When I try to open any web page, a dialog box opens up "Opening search". It asks me 'What should Firefox do with this file?'
The bullets 'Open with Browse' and Sane File.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security may alter the HTTP response headers if Firefox is not a trusted application.

Keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server rejected my password. How do I fix this?

I keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server "pop.charter.net" rejected the password. In the past I just went into my email and it came up automatically.

In Keychain, in the Keychain window, select "login". In the category window, select passwords.
In the name field, look for name of your outgoing server for that account (like smtp.mail.yahoo.com, outbound.att.net, or whatever outgoing server you have).
Just highlight it and delete it. Delete any and all for that account.
You also may want to check and make sure all your outgoing server settings are correct in Mail preferences. If any info is incorrect, it will not work. Sometimes providers change servers and you don't know about it. You may want to check that if the Keychain fix doesn't work.

Can't view files with long file names?

Hi, Im using Mac OSX 10.3.9 and I have a problem viewing files on a server that have long file names (i.e over about 20 characters) they do not show up on my mac but when viewed on a PC computer they are all there. Strange thing is though I have another mac on the same network running exactly the same operating system and version and files with long name can be viewed on that system ?? it is some simple preference does anybody know? Any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, I tried accessing a test file that I have made up with a long name through a browser and through FTP and cannot see it on either one. I can however see it on the other Mac that I have access to that is running the same OS and version etc... and also this file can been viewed on the PC's that are around me....

Cant download pdf files with long file names??

Why in windows mobile wont it let me open/download pdf links th have long file names...works fine on desktop....just a mobile issue??? Have Lumia 930...windows mob 8.1

Personally, I've not heard of this but maybe WP doesn't handle long names as well as Windows - what actually happens when you try? Is there an error message or does the download just fail silently?

Howcome i keep getting asked to download an (application/octect-stream) everytime im on youtube?

I go into youtube, i click on one video and it works.. when i either go into the search or click on another video, i am prompted to download an unknown application (which probably is a virus). This is the only website that it does it on.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com

Mine does that too. I don't know why. I just hit the "Cancel" button and it usually just goes away for the day.

I seem to get a variety of font sizes with different websites, usually very small compared to IE. How can I enlarge these?

Facebook's page is oversized and bleeding off the page. Gmail is a small font, shop.com/pamguttman is a very small font. I've looked at screen resolution but that doesn't change anything.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version in mac os

keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version on mac os. The version is 34.0.5 .As soon as I launch the brwswer i get the update message.

hello dbajayo, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6.
probably some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

I downloaded the newest version of firfex although each time I turn on I get asked to download the newest version, it does check and tell me I am OK. Is it normal to have this come up each time?
