Prompt choice when opening an URL-based intent?

I know that there's this (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977330?esab=a&as=aaq) but it takes way too long for the actual website to load before I get to the little Android icon. Is there a way to make it so that it prompts me in the first place before loading the page?

The Android Gingerbread and earlier browser did this if you did not set a default browser and it sucked. The intent dialog would appear for each clicked link and often several times due to redirects.
If a site or intent gives Firefox a URI that it can load as a web page we treat it as such. Firefox is a web browser.

How do I deselect PDF as the file of choice when opening a file sent to me in an email?

How can I deselect the PDF choice when opening a file sent to me in an email?

Bernd, no this is not a PDF file it is a TEXTPAD file. I have just upgraded to Windows 7. When I tried to open the TEXTPAD file I received a message Windows 7 did not recognize the format and asked me to select another format. I selected Adobe PDF and it would not open in Adobe PDF so now I want to deselect Adobe PDF. Can you tell me how to deselect?

Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/91bc770b-bb70-4885-a4ad-a243edb88753/event-id-8026-workflow-soap-getworkflowdataforitem-failed-doc-library-no-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
I also created another list with the same permissions and using other office files but got the same behavior.
Now, we have migrated this site from SP2007 to SP2013.
Any ideas?

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

Adobe Reader freezes all browsers when opening a url to a PDF containing form fields...

There is an issue we are currently experienceing with Adobe Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest version) where ALL BROWSERS (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on each of two different systems (a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Leopard and a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows Vista) where the application will freeze up and crash the browser when we view a .pdf file from a url if the .pdf file iteself contains form fields.
At first I though it may have been specific to Mac OSX and this MacBook we were trying to view the document on, but the same issue is now occuring with a new Sony Vaio laptop (running Windows Vista) as well.
It seems like it is able to open .pdf documents containing form fields when they are stored locally, but when trying to access them via a url, the program will freeze up. Sometimes it will eventually work if you had previously opened a .pdf prior to opening it via the url link and sometimes it doesn't. And it seems to only be related to .pdfs containing fillable form fields (others open fine when accessing them by a url)
Obviously it's become quite irratating and I'm hopeing I can find some insight on this support forum as to what may be causing this issue.
Previous versions of Acrobat (installed on the MacBook) opened this very same .pdf file (url) fine before upgrading to version 9.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How to undo "remember my choice" when opening a downloaded document in firefox (windows 8).

I need to open a pdf in the firefox broswer, but since I clicked "open in TWINUI", and remember my choice, it doesn't let me open in the broswer anymore. How do I change that preference?

You can change file actions in Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Login prompt appearing when opening Excel Files - SharePoint 2010 SP1 - Office 2007

hi,
i have 2 sites on the same server, 1 at Port 80 and 1 at port 8300
https://contoso.com
https://contoso.com:8300
Both are under same AD and credentials.
But when users on 8300 port site, tries to open office files such as Word or Excel.
In read only mode, login credentials screen comes atleast 3 times again and again, although users are using same and correct credentials
but when clicked as edit mode, then file just opens.
I have saves their credentials locally using credentials vault under user accounts.
while suggestions on this page were already there:
http://sharepoint.licomputersource.com/2011/04/sharepoint-2010-prompts-for-credentials-when-opening-office-documents/
I have added https under Excel trusted File Locations under CA
I have correct AAM mapping under CA.
Please guide how to fix this. Thank you
Server: Sharepoint 2010 SP1
End Users: Office 2007 and Office 2010

Hi,
For Login prompt appearing, please refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943280. also, please make sure you have already add this site into trusted sites zone in IE since after this settings, you will not get the read only/edit popup windows. you can change different computers to test
to check if the office settings has some special. in addition, please keep one version of office product.
For he excel files open in browser and then have a option to open in Excel, please go to library settings > advanced settings > Opening Documents in the Browser to check if both sites have the same settings. also, maybe you miss click the open in word/
open in excel button after open in brwser.

IllegalArgumentException when opening an URL

Hi,
I am trying to open a URL which has some kind of special character inside.
This special character causes a IllegalArgumentException when I try to open it with Java while it works fine opening it in my Firefox Browser.
The code is:
String url = "http://www.flunk.de/webkatalog/forum/rtl-und-coca-cola-heimspiel-wg-ich-brauch-h%EDlfe-t335.html";
URL urlObj = new URL(url);
try {
InputSource source = new InputSource(url.openStream());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}This causes an exception with the following StackTrace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at sun.net.www.ParseUtil.decode(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.ParseUtil.toURI(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.openStream(Unknown Source)The Problem seems to be the "%ED" part of the URL. If I delete that part, no exception occures which doesn't help me, since the url is no more correct and I don't reach the correct website with it.
Does anybody know, how I can avoid that?
Thanks,
Henrik

Oh sorry - of course I tried this one:
String url = "http://www.flunk.de/webkatalog/forum/rtl-und-coca-cola-heimspiel-wg-ich-brauch-h%EDlfe-t335.html";
URL urlObj = new URL(url);
try {

When opening certain URLs (not all), the nuisance error message appears incorrectly saying I don't have latest Java RunTime installed and activated.

The "Add-ons Manager" shows Java Platform SE 6 6.0.240.7 is enabled. But when I open certain websites the error message "We have detected that no Java Runtime is installed on your system or you are using an old version..." appears. But I can't see that it has any effect. It just delays the opening while the detection program runs. Something seems contradictory!

Have you tried installing the latest version of Java, there have been 2 updates since your version. You can get the latest version from http://java.com/

Prompt Order when opening Report - And order in List Of Values

I guess this is a fearly easy question... But I thought easier to ask you guys than struggling all night.
1 - I have a report with some prompts. How do I change the order they appear in ?
2 - For some List Of Values I have really a strange order. How come ? And What should I do to fix it ?
Hoping on some good answers in the weekend
Best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
You can set the "Prompt Order" in "Properties" tab in the Query Panel.
1.Make sure that you are in the Query Panel. Make sure that "Edit Query" button is pressed.
2.Click on the "Properties" tab, just beside "Data" Tab
3.Scroll down to see the "Prompt Order" option. Select the prompt and use " UP or DOWN" arrows (not the keyboard arrows. Expand the "properties" tab window, if you don't see the arrows) to change the prompt order.
Thanks,

4.0 flashes or sustains a glaring white screen when opening a new tab 0r a new url-can this be corrected to show a dark transition screen instead?

We have a special color theme which we use for all your previous versions of Firefox so as to eliminate all white screen glare which has been successful until we installed 4.0. When opening a new tab the screen now flashes a stark white eye-strain glaring white light, and much worse when opening a url site this condition does not flash but lingers as long as it takes (sometimes very long) to load a new url. Since this never happened with previous versions, how can this be corrected without having to return to Firefox 3.6?

You can cause a new tab to display the site of your choice by installing the following Add-on:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*after installing, set the options by going to Add-ons > Extensions >New TabURL > Options
Also see --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
*If you have multiple home pages, the first one is automatically chosen by this Add-on
Future versions of Firefox will/may have this option without an Add-on.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

Getting Adobe sign-in prompts and ads when opening photoshop

I've just started getting PS CS6 sign-in prompts when opening PS after booting up and have now had this ad. Here's a DropBox link to a screenshot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40828105/Photoshop%20Trial%20Screenshot.jpg
Please can you tell me why this is happening and how I can stop it?
I also wanted to say, thanks so much Adobe for a truly wonderful programme without which I could not enjoy my hobbies.
Alex

In that case try using Adobe Cleaner to clear out Adobe Products and then re-install and activate CS6 Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
The pop-up shows that your CS6 install is for some reason running as trial install but menu Help does not have an Activate or Deactivate item available so you Photoshop install is not activated and can not be activated.
If a Photoshop install is Activated then the Help>DeActivate Item would not be grayed out... However if a Photoshop install is not Activated there should be a Help>Activate or a Help>Sign In item. A Help>grayed out Deactivate item should not be in there...
When Photoshop is installed as trial software Adobe does pop up ads for Photoshop these days the cloud. The pop usually includes how many days are left in the trial install. Since your pop-up does not include days left I assumed the trial period was over.
Running a malware scan is a good idea....
What version of CS6 does Help>About Photoshop show? Windows should show version 13.0.1.3 and Mac should show version 13.0.6
The subscription version of CS6 is version 13.1.2 which you should not have installed...

Tutorials in SWF output format prompted "Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?" when opening another SWF file

Please help.
I have a tutorial with in the output format of SWF and HTM. I have click boxes that On Success will open another tutorial (SWF file). When I click on the click box, I get prompted “Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?” by the Adobe Flash Player. I can click “Yes” and continue, however I don’t want the user to get prompted for every click box with this action (there is one for every tutorial and navigation buttons to each tutorial). I also think that SCORM can't handle the prompt, because when I run the tutorial from the LMS the click boxes do not work at all.
I have tried selecting “Always allow” in the Global Security Settings panel as per the instruction on this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wanted to add on a question to this posting.... I believe Rod's instructions must be followed on a per-PC basis, correct? Is there any way to disable this globally when/after I publish the files rather than telling 1000 users across the globe that they have to change their security settings? I don't think so from the article (very thorough) but just hoping there's something I can do?!
Thank you!
Michele
