Open Finder via a Hyperlink from FireFox for the MAC

I developed an application using ASP.NET running under IIS 7.0. The application presents clickable links to the user, and when the user clicks on the link, it opens Windows Explorer. I have it working fine for all platforms required except for FIREFOX on the MAC.
With FIREFOX on the PC, I'm using add-on "Local Filesystem Links 0.99.25". This add-on doesn't seem to be supported on the MAC, however.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Stackoverflow has amazing answered for development.

I have the old version of Firefox but when I download the update for firefox for the Mac OS X it says it is not compatible with my system which is 10.4.11 on the Mac. Can someone help me.

I need to update my current version of firefox for the Mac and when I do it says it is not compatible for my system but I can't find anywhere that it says what the system requirements are for the new version of firefox for the Mac.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

I need to use an older version of FireFox for the Mac (3.0) to be compatible with another program; how can I get it?

My company uses SalesForce CRM and recently changed wholesale to Macs. Unfortunately, certain functions in SalesForce are not compatible with the current version of Safari or any version of FireFox newer than 3.0 and we need to be able to use those functions. How can I download that version for the Mac?

There is also a portable Firefox 3.0 version via this link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/osxportableapps/PortableFirefox_3.0_en-US-OSX_r4.0u.dmg?download
It can take some time before the download starts.

Free at last from Word for the Mac 2011

     I used Word for 20 years but when I moved on to Lion, I found the 2011 version
of Word for the Mac to be a muddled, useless ball of snakes. I switched to Apple's Pages
and was pleased with its intuitive and productive arrangement. What a difference!
    With Pages, it is especially easy to produce items that are a mix of text and
drawing elements (e.g., borders). Unllike the disaster of Word's Ribbon, it has an
area at the top where you can display (from a wide array of options) those
choices of production tools you wish to have available.
     I think if you give Pages a try, you'll never go back to Word.

They did it once already.

Will current (v. 12) Firefox for Mac correctly open using a saved profile from Firefox 3.6 Mac?

Hi,
When I have a lot of windows and tabs open on a single subject, sometimes will save the Firefox profile folder, then simply replace the current profile with it when wish to get back to the same business. (And usually "restore" the current one when done.)
Was wondering if upgraded to current Firefox 12, could I simply pop a saved v3.6 ".default" profile folder into the same old place
~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles
whenever desired, and continue on, business as usual?
Thanks.

Thanks for the links. I will check them.
Though I don't really feel the need for multiple profiles (or simultaneous FF versions running). Just wanted to confirm I could swap in any already archived old FF 3.6 profile into a FF 12 install, if desired - without bothering with a test install etc. of 12 to verify.
I'm happy with 3.6.x, but am concerned security issues will no longer be addressed (as of the April 24th 2012 EOL).
Was not sure how compatible the 3.6 profile folder contents drag and drop "into" v. 12 Application Support FF folder would be. Just don't want to make my archived profiles useless.

OFFICE for the Mac, want lines on PPT slides to appear one at a time

I want to display lines on a ppt slide one line at a time/
I used to be able to do this by selecting Slideshow, Custom Automation, then "Appear"
I am using OFFICE for the Mac (2008).
But something has changed and I can no longer figure out how to get each line on a PPT slide to appear one line at a time every time I click it.
It's not that difficult, but I can't figured out where they moved the "Appear" option.
I am NOT using KEYNOTE, but PowerPoint from OFFICE for the Mac (2008)
Can someone help me.
Thanks,
Tom

etresoft:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
That info is exactly what I was looking for.
I tried it and it worked like a charm.
The older version of PowerPoint that I was familiar didn't have the "Add Entrance" step.
I knew that some smart and caring person would answer my plea for help.
Thanks again.

Binary files won't open since I upgraded Firefox for my mac.

Ever since I've updated my Firefox for my mac, I can't open Binary files. Example: When I click on an email attachment a window opens - You have chosen to open
"File Name"
which is a: Binary File
from: http:/where.ever
Would you like to save this file?
When I chose "save file" my "downloads" window would pop up but the file would not be there.
I was able to remedy that problem to the point at which the file would show up in the "downloads" window but when I attempted to open the file I would get:
! Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview
doesn't recognize.
So far this has happened with all Binary files I have attempted to open since my Firefox update.
Never had this problem before.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

Exactly the same problem. It doesn't happen with Safari. Seeking help before I abandon Firefox!

I open my work Lotus Notes through FireFox. since the upgrade if my email has attached I can't find them. The attachment windows is there but nothing is in it.

Question

you haven't lost anything, it's virtually impossible to delete your Zotero library by accident.
You may just need to show your add-on bar (View --> Toolbars ---> Add on Bar).
To check if Zotero is disabled, go to Tools--> Add-ons --> Extensions.
Make sure to check for Zotero updates, you may need the newest version (2.1.10) for FF6 compatibility.
As a general piece of advice, if technical problems make you frantic, don't perform major software upgrades in the middle of a project. Also, support for Zotero is better on the Zotero forums than here.

??? I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software. When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library. What should I do?

I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

I have an iPad and would like to replicate my Bookmarks list from Firefox for MAC to my iPad Safari.app; can this be done automatically?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.7, and an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3.
On the MAC, I have Firefox for MAC v 19.0.2 and Safari 6.0.3
On the iPad, I have only Safari for iPad. I always use Firefox as my browser for the MacBook, but there is no Firefox app for the iPad.
My Safari bookmarks automatically update from the MacBook to the iPad, but not from Firefox to the iPad. Is it possible for the automatic update to be made from Firefox instead of Safari to the iPad Safari.app? If not, is there an easy way on the MacBook to keep the Safari bookmarks up to date with the Firefox bookmarks, so that the iPad shares my Firefox bookmarks?
If not possible now, are you planning to make this possible for MAC users who also have an iPad?

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening. I have unistalled and installed (version 6) but still it crashes. It does not start in safe mode either. I have read the various help support but I seem to be going around in circles. I am not a computer geek so please bear with me. Thank you.

How can page margins be changed when printing from Firefox for Mac OS X?

This has been asked in the past with the thread closed even though the asker got no answer. I have the same problem so I am asking again....
How does one set the margin sizes on Firefox on the Mac?

Did not notice that you are using a Mac, otherwise, I would not have replied.
<s>It appears that page margins for OSX are set at the operating system level.</s>

Office for the Mac - file open slowness, freeze, or crash

When I select the File - Open window, any of the Office programs take a few minutes to display all of my files in the Documents folder. When they are finally displayed, any attempt to scroll through the list or go to a specific file results in the Mac's spinning wheel being displayed. Quite often, nothing happens after the wheel stops spinning. Sometimes, it just continues to spin. Consequently, it is almost impossible to use the File - Open window in Office to select a file to open. The only way I can do so is to use Finder to display my files in the Documents folder and then selecting them in that program's File - Open window.
When the wheel is spinning, Force Quit says that the specific Office program being used is "not responding." Usually, I use Force Quit to close down the Office program if it has frozen, crashed, or been slow using the File Open window.
I spent an hour yesterday with Microsoft Support on the problem. The conclusion of the tech was that I had too many files in my Documents folder. I pointed out that other programs such as FileMaker Pro didn't have this problem. The tech's response was that Office has to scan the entire Documents folder every time the File Open window is opened, but that FileMaker Pro stores a list of the last files in the Documents folder and doesn't rebuild the list every time.
I am skeptical of this "answer." The problem didn't exist until a few months ago.
My computer is a MacBook Pro 2.3gHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive which has about 500GB free. This is a fairly fast machine with a Geekspeed of 10688. I was running the latest Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1. The problem first surfaced with Office for the Mac 2008 about 3-4 months ago running Mac OS 10.10.1. I installed Office 365 yesterday, and and Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 today, and nothing changed.
The only solution that I know of is to take a lot of time to segregate my files in the Documents folder into more subfolders (I already have quite a few). That I am loath to do, because the solution doesn't work very well. It takes about a minute to select a subfolder in the File Open window, and then about another 30 seconds before Office allows me to scroll through a relatively small number of files (e.g., 100 files) in the subfolder.
When this question was posted to the Microsoft Community, I was directed to an article talking about problems with Office and Mac OS. None of the solutions worked, probably because the article considered only Office X and Office 2004 for the Mac and OS 10.2 and 10.3.
Help, please!

1) Verify that Office is fully updated. v14.4.7
2) I suggest you run Font Book and vailidate your Fonts. Microsoft installs duplicate fonts and after you clean up your fonts, this has often fixed odd issues with Office.
Office 2011 Duplicate Fonts to Delete
3) Delete the com.apple.LaunchServices file in your User's Library/Preferences folder. Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar and test. More info
If this fails to fix....
Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
Put a few test files in the Shared folder. Data in the Shared folder can be accessed by another User. When you "Switch Users", you can access the files in the shared folder. After you log into the new test User, drag from Shared (it actually copies). Put the test files in Documents.
Open Word. It won’t be in the Dock in the new User. Go to Applications to open.
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, you can eliminate the number of files in your Documents folder.
If no, then you might want to do a clean up in Documents.
*Remember to drag files back from Shared when you log into your main User.

How can I get qucken data from windows copied over to quicken for the Mac?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro. I have been using windows my whole life. I installed Quicken 2006 for the MAC. I backed up my windows quicken on a disk and it just doesn't open it. Is there a trick? or am I screwed?

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to convert a Quicken/WIndows data file to Quicken/Mac. This is a major complaint of a lot of switchers.
I can't find the link (I'll keep looking) but I know that Intuit offers a conversion service. You send them your data file, and for an absurd amount of money they'll convert the file for you.
You're probably better off starting your Quicken/Mac file from scratch.
That's what I did. It took some time to do, but now I'm happy with it and I didn't have to pay anyone to convert the file.
