Web pages saved with Firefox can't be opened with Firefox
Web pages saved with Firefox can't be opened from my file manager (Thunar/VectorLinux) with Firefox. Why is this? I can open them with Opera and other browsers but not Firefox.
What file extension do these files have?
Does it help if you rename them and add a .html file extension?
There are other things that need your attention.
Your above posted system details show two outdated Flash plugin(s).<br />
You should remove them both and update to the latest Flash 10.3 version.
# Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102
# Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

For FF19 with PDFs, can the yellow "Open With Different Viewer" pop-up bar be disabled?
Hi all, I really like the built in PDF viewer because search as a I type works with, thanks FF devs!
But ... I get this yellow pop-up with many PDFs I view:
This PDF document might not be displayed correctly and a button for Open With Different Viewer
The thing is these PDFs seem fine and I have to close the warning every time.
Is there anyway this pop-up can be disabled or I can set an about:config setting to skip it? I can manually save a PDF or disable FF19's viewer if there's a noticeable problem with the FF19 viewer.Ok, since the pop up bar can't be disabled I'll disable the built in PDF viewer. Too bad, I like the search as you type feature with PDFs but this un-disable-able pop-up bar is not user friendly.

Links to PDFs on webpages only opens a "new" tab which is blank. I cannot download or open PDFs. This started a couple of weeks ago.

Help!!Old backup with .nfb can't be opened with th...
Hello, With an old version of PC Suite I made a backup of my phone Nokia 6680. After updating the Phone I want to restore my backup. With the old version I didn't get any communication so I installed the latest version of PC Suite. Now I have a real problem because this file I can't open any more. Is there somebody who has the solution for this. With kind regards, Ferdi
In that case reset the ownership and permissions on the iPhoto Library as follows:
1 - download and launch BatChmod .
2 - drag the iPhoto Library into the BatChmod window.
3 - set the ownership and privileges settings to that shown in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
4 - launch iPhoto and see if that helped.

Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it--can't use "Help," can't search the Web, can't even use "Sign Out." I have to close it entirely to get out of it. A box comes up and says "Yahoo Mail is loading especially slowly" and tells me my computer speed is slow. But this is the same computer I've always used for Firefox, and Yahoo comes up quickly and completey through Internet Explorer (which is how I'm sending this message). Can anyone help me load Firefox so that it works? I even downloaded the latest version of Firefox, but it makes no difference. Thanks.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.
The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help. -
My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Web pages don't fill the entire monitor screen and words overlay
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Big trouble with "The application 'Firefox' can't be opened
Hello
I have a big problem. I cannot use firefox, either quit it or use this application. If I want use firefox than I get the Information "The Application firefox can't be opened -600". And also I cannot close my macbook Pro (alas it is a Retina) or trying reboot. It still stands and nothing changing on the desktop from the macbook. I have red some some problems with the probably solutions how can fix it, but I'm afraid about, that I would make a big mistake and destroy the macintosh Marverics System that I have.
Please. I need help !
Thank you!
Canno92This Step failed a lots of time. I tried everything in my mind. I tried to do this step you suggest me now, and nothing (some tries before) happened. What can I do to not have the message "the application firefox cannot be opened - 600" ? Its really **** that that happened now..
I tried to reboot - nothing changed
I tried quit the application - nothing changed
I tried to hold he "shut down" button - nothing has changed or has shut down
I tried go to system preferences/application/ and tried to trash the application - nothing changed, because the application is still working/or in use. And this s*** is really confusing me. Therefore I can not use firefox, not trash the application because it is in use, or either close the application to shut down or restart/reboot my macbook Pro.
Any other suggestions? If possible, than it would be very kindly. -
Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.
Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
Regards,
Barry -
Can no longer open two Firefox tabs at the same time. Will disappear from screen but won't close - have to go to Task Bar/ Processes to close it, some links won't activate on websites. As suggested in the support area I have gone through the process of backing up my profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox from computer, reinstalled profile in fresh folder, reinstalled firefox 6. I have done this twice for no effect - may work as it used to for a while (30mins) then gets back to its old tricks.
It is a bit irritating.Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
