Saving internet files via Firefox

I'm trying to save internet pages, documents, files, etc via a Firefox format; my computer is saving them in Internet Explorer, instead. How do I resolve the problem?

Nope, IE works fine when I do not have Mozilla downloaded on my computer. When I download Firefox, it disables my entire network/internet connection after about an hour of use

  • Windows Disk Cleanup Temporary Internet Files for FireFox?

    Hi guys. When I run Windows Disk Cleanup there is an option to delete 234MB of Temporary Internet Files. I don't use IE so are these FireFox temp files?

    Plugins from MS like Windows Media Player and Silverlight use the IE Temporary Internet Files and Cookies folder, so you may be seeing files from those plugins. You can check those folder to see which files are in there to verify this.

  • I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

    I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

    Hi there!
    I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
    Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
    I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

  • Saving internet file now results is meaningless alphanumeric file name instead of doc name

    A few weeks ago reader X suddenly started puting all the tools (like save file) back in the top of the window. They were missing for quite some time and very frustrating. I could find no way to bring them back.  Now, however, whenever I save an internet file, a short meaningless alphanumeric name is inserted rather than using the file name/document name that has always been used before. Is there a way to return this to previous behaviour?

  • Why is Firefox saving all files in "firefox document" format?

    When I try to download a file by 'save target as' the only option I get is to save the file in Firefox Document format ( url.htm ). Why is that happening?!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • Firefox just started saving all files as firefox documents, why? how to fix?

    It was actually working fine today.. but then it started doing this and it keeps doing this. Everytime I right click a link and hit save as. It ALWAYS saves it as a firefox document, no matter what it is. It can be a pic, an mp3, you name it and it saves it as a document. I tried typing .jpg at the end of files when I saved them and still that didn't do anything..
    Please help. It's not doing this in internet explorer... But I don't like that browser lol

  • I cannot open files via firefox on sharepoint 2010, i can however open the files on IE.

    I cannot open files such as word, excel, pdfs on sharepoint when i use Sharepoint. I can open them ok on IE.
    i have updated the firefox to the latest version 8.
    Still no joy.
    Is there a add on i need to install?

    Looks like the site might make use of Adobe Flash. At this time we don't have support for the Android Adobe Flash plugin. We are working on getting Flash to work but it has been a difficult path as the Android Flash plugin is quite different from the desktop version.

  • Slow Internet surfing via Firefox

    I just purchased my MBP a few days ago (OS 10.6.4). Noticed that Internet surfing is pretty slow, page takes a while to load when I launch a new website or click on hyperlinks. Has anybody experienced this problem and what could I have done to improve the surfing speed?

    tanvivien, by +download time+ and +rendering time+ I meant the time that it takes for the browser to download the page via a clicked link to your hard disk, and the time that it takes for the browser to display the downloaded page from your hard disk. All too often, pages will have Flash advertisements embedded in them, and the rendering portion of displaying such pages in a browser will tend to take longer to display on OS X than on Windows.
    When your Vista laptop and your MacBook Pro are running from the same wireless router, do they both establish the same type of connection? (On the Mac, under the Apple menu, check About This Mac → More Info… → Network → AirPort; under Interfaces, look for Current Network Information, and note what its PHY Mode value is. I don’t know how to check for the equivalent information in Vista.)

  • Opening *.webloc files in Firefox on Windows

    when will Firefox on Windows support saved *. webloc files from Firefox on Mac?
    This is ridiculous :/

    Thank you for your reply.
    I i can drag & drop a website from Firefox on Mac onto my desktop and reopen it in Firefox in Mac AND Safari Browser, why i cannot open them in Firefox on Windows.
    I can drag and drop URLs from Firefox on Windows and reopen them
    So what's so wrong about adding support for these kinda files making them work vice versa?
    I'm working this way because it's easier and faster and more organized for many reasons when exchaning URLs.
    Reason 1.: (keep things organized and in focus)
    If i send somone many many web documents (research), there is much more information at first sight, rather than copy pasting the URLs itself plus having to add a description to every URL.
    For example this particular page here where we are on it describes itself in the web document name:
    ''' opening .webloc files in Firefox on Windows Firefox Support Forum Firefox Support'''
    read it > double klick > open in browser tab > done
    or else
    '''https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761091'''
    if converted to text only (e-mail, etc.) then i have to > mark url > copy/paste > add in browser.
    Understandable?
    But, hey, there is no reason for a reason because there are so many reasons. Fact is that a file which was created from Firefox should work Cross Plattform.
    Or du you think i will stay with the external "webloc2url" Perl Script Application forever dragging webloc files from FF on Mac one by one?
    If there is a single person who can write a Perl Script application converting/re-writing webloc files to correct URLs and open them without the hassle, why a company like mozilla can't do implement the code into FF?
    Go and Google all the complaints about webloc files from Mac.
    I mean, ehm ...

  • How do I manually delete temporary internet files, and if I delete them on IE are they also deleted onFirefox?

    I know how to delete cookies on firefox but have not figured out how to delete temporary internet files. I can do it on IE, does that do the job or do I have to delete TIF's on firefox also?

    The equivalent of temporary internet files on Firefox is the cache. For details of how to clear it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Clearing TIFs in IE will not clear the cache in Firefox.

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • What is the default name of the folder where the cache (i.e. Firefox's temporary internet files) is stored?

    What is the default name of the folder where the cache (i.e. Firefox's temporary internet files) is stored? Basically, what folder is Firefox's equivalent of Temporary Internet Files?

    You can find the location of the cache on the about:cache page (open that page via the location bar like a website).
    Only large image and media files are stored as individual files on disk.<br />
    Other files are stored in a few large container files (_CACHE_XXX_) in the cache folder and not as separate files on disk.<br />
    The individual files on disk have random names without a file extension for security reasons: you can't open an application or start a downloaded virus inadvertently by clicking a file in the cache folder.<br />
    You can look at this extension for easier access to files in the cache.

  • File-type "Firefox Document (.htm)" images saved to the HD won't open

    Images online occasionally default to file-type Firefox Document (.htm) as opposed to the usual jpg. They will not open even with firefox and display as coding.

    Can you describe in more detail what happens when you try to open the saved movie? I don't know what you mean by "main menu1".
    Since you saved your movie you may find it completely intact in the project's Package Contents folder. Right-click on the project icon (the one with the star on it). Select Package Contents in the drop down menu. In the Package Contents folder you should find a file named (project movie title).iMovieProj. Open that file and see if your movie is intact with all edits. If it is, duplicate it and move it to your desktop. Rename and save it as a new project. Don't otherwise mess with the Package Contents.
    Is your external drive formulated for Apple? Should be MAC OS extended or MAC OS extended (journaled).

  • Raw files saved to jpeg via bridge but now some jpegs won't open in CS5

    I saved Raw files to jpeg via bridge but now some of the jpegs won't open in CS5, they only open in bridge?  How do I get them to open up in photoshop instead?

    I'm not quite sure of your workflow, but here's a couple of things to try:
    1. Make sure the folder to be batch processed contains only JPEGs.
    2. In Bridge, go to Camera Raw Preferences (not Bridge Preferences) and change JPEG and TIFF Handling to Disable JPEG support. This should ensure that all JPEGs open directly in Photoshop.
