Upload file in google docs is ignored in FF 4b4 (OK other browsers and previous versions of FF)

I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4 and think there is a problem with the "Upload file" functionality in google docs combined with the latest beta4 release of FF. It worked up until beta v3. I have also installed v3.6.8 and seems to be a problem on all such evironments. I use Windows XP. I tried to disable adblock plus but same problem persists and I have to use say Opera.
Google docs provides an excellent gateway to publish stuff to my blog and to publish plain office and pictures. I have tried to disable "Popup blocker" but no difference.
Any help most welcome.

  • Uploading exported Excel file to Google Docs

    I exported a spreadsheet as an Excel .xls file, but Google won't let me upload it giving me an error:
    We're sorry, but we were unable to upload this document.
    If you have the desktop word processor installed on this computer, there are two other easy ways to bring the file into Google Docs:
    Using the Clipboard
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Type ⌘-A to select the contents of the entire document.
    Type ⌘-C to copy it to the clipboard.
    In Google Docs, create a new document.
    When the Edit window appears, type ⌘-V to paste it in.
    Save as HTML
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Choose File > Save As...
    In the dialog that appears, select Web Page (*.htm; *.html) for the "Save as type."
    Save the file, and make a note of the file name and folder, as you'll need it next.
    In Google Docs, choose Upload again from the main page.
    This time, specify the html file you just made in the desktop word processor.
    Using either of these approaches, you should now have the document open in Google Docs.

    Anyone else have this problem?
    It seems Google doesn't like the Excel version that Numbers exports. The file will open fine in Excel and if I re-save it from Excel it will upload no problem to Google Docs.

  • I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

    With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • Unable to see files in Google docs

    Just set up my OJ6500A+ on wireless network to take adv. of apps like Googledocs. I had a prob. getting printer & Googledocs to talk to ea. other. Printer kept acting like pswd was bad. I fixed that, and got GoogleDocs to open. I uploaded docs. to GoogleDocs but printer thinks folder is empty. Am I doing something wrong or is there yet another setting somewhere that needs to be changed?

    Hi ldm1701,
    I think you are using a standard account for google docs.
    The file type supported for standard account are :-
    - Google Presentation
    - PDF (.pdf)
    - Google Document
    You would need to check this option "Convert documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and drawings to the corresponding Google Docs formats" when you upload documents.
    Perhaps you can try to upload the docs and convert it to Google Docs format and see if the printer is able to files?
    Thank you.

  • Exporting/uploading Numbers to Google Docs

    The only thread I could find was this unanswered one;
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5181446&#5181446
    So I'm bumping this issue again.
    I'm trying to upload a simple Numbers table to Google Docs. I export the table as a .xls from Numbers, but Google Docs gives me a blank sheet when I try to open it.
    I've tried a really simple 'test' spreadsheet, but it still doesn't open in Google Docs correctly.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. This would work for static numbers, unfortunately my spreadsheet contains a lot of formula which I want to retain in Google Docs. Copy/Paste won't copy the formula.
    I could of course copy/paste each formula in turn. But at that point I might as well create the sheet from scratch in Google Docs to begin with!

  • I can no longer open word or excel files from my email in firefox, i can in all other browsers. it started november 5, 2014

    Yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, I can no longer open word or excel documents from my gmail account in firefox browser on windows 7. I can in all other browsers. The error message is "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    As a workaround, does it work to save the files first and then open them after saving?
    Sometimes when Firefox has problems handing off a download to another program it is caused by a corrupted settings file. That file is hard to edit, so usually we suggest renaming the file to see whether that resolves the issue. Here's how:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and test your Gmail attachments. Any improvement?
    Note: This resets some preferences to their defaults, such as which PDF viewer Firefox uses. If you need to update that again, please see this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

  • Google authentication page has accept/cancel button disabled, other browsers work fine

    This mechanism is working fine in other browsers Chrome and IE.

    Hi Shlomy,
    Please check your IE settings on the machine with issue:
    Click gear icon -> Internet Options -> Security, check if you have added your SharePoint sites to Trusted Sites or Local Intranet.
    If that is the case, please click Custom level and scroll down to User Authentication, uncheck the option "Prompt for user name and password", then check the option "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone".
    In addition, does the issue occur to any Office client application? Please test the issue via Word or Excel.

    MCTS,ITIL

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had issue about the .doc files with managed metadata column.
    Did you enable the “Add to all content types” when created the managed metadata column?
    You can create a new managed metadata column with “Add to all content types” enable, then check whether it works.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Firefox crashes when I pressing Browse button to upload files. The crash-ID is :bp-fcb99cd3-dbc3-4bab-ab00-49b632130409 and bp-b39ac817-7d8f-4f1b-a9e5-9f96e212

    when I want to attach a file in gmail or yahoo mail, firefox crashes with the crash-IDs of bp-fcb99cd3-dbc3-4bab-ab00-49b632130409 and bp-b39ac817-7d8f-4f1b-a9e5-9f96e212
    my windows is 7.

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, I am not able to pull up the crash reports but try safe mode:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • PDF file displays different number of text blocks in Acrobat Pro CC 2014 and CS6 versions

    Hi,
    I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat Pro used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
    As viewed in CC 2014:
    "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
    As viewed in CS 6:
    "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
    This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
    Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
    Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
    The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
    Any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks.
    David

    First of all, there is no such thing as Acrobat CS6 or Acrobat CC 2014. We assume you are referring to Acrobat X and Acrobat XI respectively.
    Secondly, how are you determining how many text blocks are in the PDF file? By use of the text touchup/edit function in Acrobat? If so, how this edit function displays text doesn't necessarily correspond to the actually underlying text fragments in the PDF file. In fact, sometimes it combines fragments based on heuristics. Those heuristics have varied with different version of Acrobat.
    PDF as a file format doesn't know the context of the graphical objects such as text. There is no concept of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a column, etc. in terms of text. Runs of text are context-insensitive. You will get “breaks” when switching between regular and italics or when unusual paragraph justification is involved.
    Is the actual problem in trying to edit the text or something else?
    If you post a file, and indicate what text we should look at, we can confirm what is actually going on in your file.

  • Cannot open google or mozilla sites in firefox ok in other browsers.

    I am running Firefox 36 which runs normally except that I cannot open certain websites a few eg.s below:
    any mozilla sites, cannot open extention site also
    no Google sites
    which is very fustrating. The above websites work in IE, Chrome & Opera. I have cleared cache and cookies, reloaded in safe mode, totally
    uninstalled firefox and cleaned out any reference to Firefox or Mozilla in my registry and after reinstalling no change. I have even downgraded
    to version 34 to no avail. I am using Kaspersky anti virus which I have tried closing down and I cannot see any problems with Windows firewall.
    After looking on your webiste I also tried disabling IPv6 & changing DNS Prefetching (about:config).f
    This problem first occured approx 5 days ago I am at a loss as to why this is happening, please can you advise.

    At this time, I don't have any good ideas, but please provide a bit more information so I or others can help further:
    # when you type in the url and press enter, in the bottom left of the browser window, it will have some status notification, it maybe "looking up..." "connecting..." "waiting for response...", "transferring data...", what was the status you get when trying to reach those websites?
    # when you say "can't open", what error page shows up?
    # if you can't open http://www.google.com/ can you open http://74.125.224.72 ? (this is the ip address of google.com, using this directly should bypass DNS issues).
