I use HP ProtectTools Security Manager to control my passwords. When i updated to Firefox 30. I received the following error message ; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I solve this problem ?

Hi le.hamzou,
Previous suggestions were to update the Security Manager if there was one. There were also these add ons:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se/ Fingerfox], but I am not sure if it will work on win8, it does on win7.
Another work around I saw was [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=ietab&appver=29.0&platform=all IE Tab].

Please post back with the results!

I received the following error when attempting to use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to manage my passwords; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I correct this?

I use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to control my passwords. Everything was fine until I updated to Firefox 4. Can I remove version 4 or is there a solution to my problem. I received the following error message; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program.

You'll have to downgrade to the previous secure version I regret to say. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.

We have a new computer and I cannot get my garmin running watch to sync with mozilla. The error message that I keep getting is"The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectagent) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
Help please

This is for a special URL that starts with
connectagent://
instead of with
http://
is that right?
Two thoughts:
(1) Could you try changing a setting for your Garmin plugin. Here's what I mean:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Find your Garmin plugin change "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".
Your system information seems to list two different versions of a similarly named plugin. I'm not sure whether that is causing a problem.
(2) Does Garmin's documentation specify any extra steps to set up Firefox, other than installing its add-ons?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...

'''I had this problem and just re-installed Firefox. Problem solved. In my case I believe it was due to installing FlashGet. Though I uninstalled FlashGet, it had pre-empted the Magnet links / protocol. I hope this helps you with your instance. Happily I had the installer for my version of Firefox (7.0.1) saved and used that but you might need to search for your current version or install a later version'''

I am trying to get to a college webpage for information and get this error message from firefox Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

Unable to download music - error message reads "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (wmms) isn't associated with any program."

I purchased a song to download from Walmart.com and received the error message when I tried to download the song; "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (wmms) isn't associated with any program." I've never had a problem before. I paid for this download & I can't even access it.

Does the Walmart site offer a plugin or program (Walmart MP3 Music Downloads) to handle that protocol? 
See:
* http://mp3.walmart.com/store/help/help.htm
* http://mp3.walmart.com/store/help/downloading.htm
On Windows a protocol need to be registered by a program that supports that protocol.

When trying to go into itunes I get this message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (itmss) isn't associated with any program"

When trying to log into itunes i get this message:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (itmss) isn't associated with any program.
I had to reset Firefox (due to slowness and shockwave error message that I kept getting). Itunes was downloaded after the reset, but I can't get into it? Any ideas?

I ran into this same problem after Firefox auto-updated to v24! I'm on the Beta Channel and I had Firefox set to automatically update.
What I did to correct the problem:
1. Turned off all automatic updating.
Options> Advanced> Update [tab]
Firefox updates
[x] Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them
[ ] (unchecked) Use a background service to install updates
I also unchecked;
[ ] Search Engines (I will turn this back on after I'm done with my experiment.)
2. Googled 'Firefox v23 download', downloaded and installed: Firefox_Setup_23.0b1.exe (version 23, Beta 1)
Since I reverted back to v23, I haven't had any problems.

I downloaded Newest mozilla yesterday, adobe updated, and now when I click a YouTube video I get a box saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." and can't watch any videos?

I downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox yesterday, full and complete, and I am actually using it right now. The only problem I have had is upon clicking any YouTube video, the box pops up saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." But there are no directions or suggestions on how to address this problem. Ive looked at YouTube add-ons and none of them really seem related. Upon the finish of the new Mozilla, I also was prompted to upgrade the flash player, and did so without any trouble. I am only guessing this is an extension/plug-in problem. I really am quite confused!
