When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

    Thanks to cor-el for the suggestion given in the link. Sadly I have to report:
    1) It is not a bookmark problem and it makes no difference whether I put
    www.adobe.com or 192.150.18.117 in the address bar.
    2) Cookies are allowed and there are no exceptions set
    3) All cookies have been deleted
    4) network.http.sendRefererHeader is already set to 2
    That deals with the items in the linked document.
    Additional information:
    5) I can get into the adobe site from a clean "in memory" installation of PuppyLinux using Seamonkey using the same router and dhcp setup.
    6) un-installing all Mozilla products - rebooting and re-installing makes no difference even when I remove the mozilla folder from docs&settings.
    so as I said in previous post (as annonymous) not a lot makes sense.
    Bear in mind that I have no problem running tracert in a command window

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.
    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

  • When I enter a subject in the help "search box" and enter, it does not go to the subject but goes back to the screen before I clicked on the help option at the top of the screen

    I cannot get thehelp option to work. When I click on the help option at the top of the screen, I get the page with the Search option, but when I enter a subject to search, tescreen returns me to the point where I started before clicking on "help". Is the help file corrupted? How can I fix?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

    I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
    The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
    Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

    Any update to provide at all here guys?  Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs).  I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing.  If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
    Thoughts???

  • Firefox is still running but does not show up in "task master" so it can be closed down and re-started?

    1. Sometimes Firefox displays a message "Firefox is still running" but there is no evidence that this is true.
    2. But, Firefox does not show up in "control-alternate-delete" to bring up Task Master in Windows 7.
    3. There does not seem to be any means to stop Firefox and to re-start Firefox without a complete Re-start of the PC.
    4. The mouse still works and the PC responds but there is no response from Firefox except the message "Firefox is still running..... etc.
    5. How to stop Firefox, shutdown Firefox without a complete reboot/restart?

    Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
    It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
    Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

  • At times the cursor that usually appears when you click on a textbox on a website (or the url bar in FF) does not appear

    If, say, a textbox contains some text (such as the address bar contains the URL), you can just click on a certain position of the string and, for instance, remove a letter. Sometimes this doesn't work with Firefox anymore. I can only select all the contents of a textbox, and there appears no cursor at all in whatever textbox I click on.

    The location bar generally shows a mix of bookmarked sites and history. You can change what appears in the bar using the Preferences dialog, and you also can just delete one or more history results or sites. These articles should help:

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Outlook 2013 asks for credentials but does not connect for Exchange email, but only when out of office

    Hi,
    New employee wishes to use his Office 365. Have loaded onto new PC, connected to exchange, loaded his folders, everything is fine.
    When he leaves the office and connects at home, he is asked for credentials.
    I have tried the usual credentials: [email protected] and domain\user
    With each attempt, Outlook displays disconnected
    The password is correct, OWA he can log on fine, he has no problem when returning to the office. He has all the correct permissions in AD.
    No other user has a problem when away from the office, but every other user is using Office 2010
    Advice appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please make sure the user has enable Outlook Anywhere in Outlook.
    To turn on Outlook Anywhere, on the Connection tab, under
    Outlook Anywhere, check Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP, and then click
    Exchange Proxy Settings. Your Exchange admin must enable this feature and provide you the proxy settings. For more information, please refer:

  • Sometimes right clicking on a image provides the option of copying or saving it and sometimes it does not

    sometimes right clicking on a image provides the option of copying or saving it and sometimes it does not even with the same image. I even saved the page because I could not save the image then when I right clicked again I could save the image. There is no pattern to when I can or can't save the image. Using Firefox 31.0 under MS Windows 7

    What kind of context menu do you see instead?
    You can right-click such an image and use Inspect Element to open the Inspector to see what gets selected instead.
