Wdows asks me which program I want to use but there is not a Firefox icon to click on to open a file.
In windows I am having a problem when it ask what program do you want to open this file. I do not have a Firefox icon to click from the the list. Am I suppose to have an icon for Firefox Icon, or what do I do?
I use Windows 7 an use Google for my searches
You should never select Firefox as the program to handle a file when you get the "Open with" dialog.<br />
If you would set an automatic action for this file type then you end up with tabs getting opened endlessly.<br />
If Firefox would be able to handle this file then you wouldn't get this dialog.
Can you tell us with which file type this happens?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Every time i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. But my search bar says file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. Never seen anything like this, half tempted to stop using Mozilla for this sole fact. PLEASE someone help me.
Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..

Firefox is asking me what program I want to use to open firefox. It has never done this before.
Several days ago an XP internet Security 2012 invaded my computer. It would not let me do anything except sign up for a $60 program. It did allow me to send a message to its support stall. But of course I could not get to my email to read their answer. Yesterday I went to safe mode Firefox and that allowed me to get to my email. The message from XP internet security apologized and suggested that I set the date on my computer 6 days ahead and that would remove their program. So I did and their program is gone. But now whenever I want to use firefox it asks me what program I want to use, I select Firefox and the site opens. Also I can not change to date back to normal. When I go to the control panel and click on date and time, it says application not found and does the same thing for most everything else in the control panel.
'''''XP internet Security 2012''''' is malware masquerading as anti-malware. You may need to go to an un-infected computer to read the following article, to download the tools needed to remove it (then transport them to your infected system on a CD or DVD; avoid using a pin/jump/thumb/USB drive to transport the files as it can become infected).

When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?
You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
Hope it helps! -
When I click on either the firefox shortcut or firefox.exe in the Mozilla folder, instead of running, the computer asks me to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox.exe". The recommended program is Adobe Reader 9.1, which obviously doesn't help.
I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but now I am trying to run Firefox Setup 4.0.exe, and it asks me again to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox setup 4.0.exe" Help?This is a registry problem with your .exe entry
The below program worked for me on my vista machine.

You can download an exe file from there that automatically sorts the issue or you can edit the registry manually. -
When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.
when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
thanks
jeffStart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
Can I set my computer to ask me which folder I want to download into?
You can't do this in Safari, though you can right-click on a link and the contextual menu will allow you to select where you wish to download the file. If you want your web browser to always ask where to download the file, use Firefox and make the setting in the General/Downloa dpreferences.

How to get rid of a window which says: CalendarAgent wants to use the "login" keychain
How to get rid of a window which says: CalendarAgent wants to use the "login" keychain
I would get free EasyFind (Spotlight will be a total waste of time), and search for caremefile and caremefile.info. If it comes up with anything, right-click and select move to trash, or just destroy. Since you didn't install anything, shouldn't be necessary to authenticate with the admin password before it will move to trash. Could also click on reveal in finder, which will allow you to see the actual location. Set it up as per the screenshot below.

Hello William,
Are you referring to Sony MiniDisc Recorder?
Locate the model # from the below link.
http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=264
The MiniDisc Recorder is not compatible with Windows 7 Operating System (OS) as these devices were released prior to the release of Windows 7 OS.

Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage. Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes. Note: this will only list your most current backup. You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.
