Launching excel hyperlinks using Firefox
I have an excel calendar on a network folder that has hyperlinks to supporting documents (emails and spreadsheets). The hyperlinks launch fine in ie, but Firefox appears to be looking for the docs on my local drive rather than the network folder, so won't open them. The same happens for other network users who try to launch the hyperlink using Firefox. Any idea how to fix this?
You can have only '''one''' default browser.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer
How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?
When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

On 3/18 I used Firefox to download a translation app called Babylon to my Dell Latitude laptop - running XP Pro. I checked out the app, got all the pop-ups asking me to buy spinoff products & uninstalled Babylon. When I rebooted I couldn't open Firefox.
I started investigating, came up with a weird Pareto Logic UUS error, fixed that. Unistalled Firefox through the Control Panel. Used IE to again download & install latest Firefox. At the end of installation, the dialog box askes "Lauch Firefox now?" which I checked & clicked the Finish button. Nothing happened. I rebooted & tried to launch Firefox from the Start menu, then from the root .exe - no luck. IE launches fine; I just want my Firefox back!i wish i could paste the error message but it is

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -

How do I open a png file using firefox with windows 7
In Windows XP I could save an image in the png format then open it using firefox, copy and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. However I can't do this in Windows 7. Has anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution?
Kind regardsHi there,
Could you describe your workflow and what happens? If you mean that double-clicking on a .png file in a normal folder (Explorer) window doesn't launch it in Firefox, which application is launched when you click it? If you want to make Firefox the default application to handle .png files, you need to change these settings in Windows 7. Unfortunately I don't have it myself (running a Mac here) so I don't remember the exact instructions. But I'm sure you could right-click on a .png file and select "Open With..." and from there manually pick Firefox. Try that and see if you get the results you want!
Cheers,

Dear All,
I am facing a serious problem in BPC 10.0 NW version.
I am using Windows 8.1(64 bit) and Firefox Version 30. And, trying to access BPC 10.0 web over VPN connection.
After establishing VPN connection, I am able to login to BPC web. But, the landing page shows only the Admin link. It is not showing other links to laucnh Excel, Word, Powerpoint. Instead, as usual, There is a button(Install) to Install EPM office addin.
When I clicked the Install button, download just stops immediately, showing the byte size as ZERO. I believe since I have established VPN connection, it is not letting me to go to the Internet to download the EPM office addin. It sounds logical. But, I need to resolve this i.e. I should be able to launch Excel interface from the BPC web(web interface). This issue is eating my time.
I am getting the same result for IE 11.0 and Chrome 35.0 version browser as well.
Pls. note that, I am able to launch Excel DIRECTLY from the machine and establish connection to BPC web and everything works fine here.
Pls. help to resolve this.
Thank you.
Regards,
PeriHi Peri,
I just wanted to know if you resolved the issue since I've been also getting the same issue and it's eating lots of time .. :-(
Could you please share the solution if it's now working fine?

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 months ago?Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in

For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
The specific error message is:
Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
From the menu bar, select

When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message ‘An error as occurred. Please try again later’. It has been this way for some weeks. I don’t have this problem using Safari or Opera.
I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck. -
EWallet crashing when using Firefox on 64 bit Windows 8.1
Hi there,
Since I upgraded my laptop recently to a 64-bit HP Envy running Windows 8.1, I’ve been having trouble with eWallet (a digital wallet for passwords) using Firefox V35.0.1.
In case you don’t know eWallet, it is possible to store passwords, user-id’s and sign-on web page URLs in a card format. When you click on the URL, it populates the fields in the sign-on page.
I am having the same problem on a 64-bit Dell Inspiron laptop my wife uses
eWallet works seamlessly on 32-bit Win XP.
eWallet works on both the 64-bit machines using Internet Explorer and Chrome, but not Firefox.
After many emails back and forth, several complete removals (using Revo Uninstaller) and re-installs of both eWallet and Firefox, this is the conclusion of eWallet Support….
It looks to me like the Firefox installation still isn't quite right on your PC. If you look at the text file you sent me, you'll see on line 43[of the registry dump I sent them] that firefox is referenced under the "Program Files" folder -- but in other places in the file, it's referenced under "Program Files (x86)". My guess is that eWallet is trying to launch firefox using the path Windows is giving it (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe), and firefox is not actually there.
Please note that this area of the registry is Microsoft's, not ours -- we don't change anything in it, we merely use this area for its intended purpose: getting the path to the appropriate browser. I can't explain why Firefox isn't installing properly, but it's outside the scope of eWallet to be able to resolve that particular problem.
My understanding of what they are saying is that Firefox is not installing correctly for some reason.
I have also tried starting Firefox without any extensions or plug-ins, again no success.

Could you please provide me with some guidance that may help me in resolving this problem?
Thanks and regards,
SteveHi @curtisa, @guigs2 and @rmcguigan,
Thanks for your responses.
I managed to get eWallet working correctly for 24 hours approx. by uninstalling Firefox, running CCleaner, deleting all Mozilla references on my system drive, scanned for virus using Win Defender, SuperAntiSpyware, and SpyHunter, (nothing reported) then again downloading and installing the current version of FF to "Program Files (x86)".
However next morning, it had failed again.
I checked the Windows event log and it shows an error with a Source of .NET Runtime. The application is eWallet.exe, Framework Version V4.0.30319, Exception Info SystemAccessViolationException.
I'm not sure what that all means, and would welcome any further suggestions.
Cheers
Steve
