When I download anything to my desktop why can I only open it using firefox
I constantly save to my desktop. When I try to open either a folder , site, article etc I can only open it if I right click and open with Firefox
Good news! I think reinstalling Firefox fixed the association between HTML files and Firefox. In the future, if it happens again, you can try the double switch of your default browser. In other words, change it to IE, then change it back to Firefox. Might not actually be quicker...

I bought and downloaded PAGES on my iPAD. Why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a simple way to just share it from my iPAD to my iMAC?
As stevejobsfan said. But also if your profile is correct and you are running system 10.7 on your iMac, you will not have much portability between the two either. Think of them as 2 different programs that just happen to have the same name.
OS 10.9 Mavericks' version of Pages has greater compatibility with the app version of it. But there are a lot of consequences to moving to Mavericks which should not be done lightly. Read around a bit on it before making any decision to upgrade. -
When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)
To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.'' -
Why can I only open DAQ assistant properties using the windiws profile I registered labview on?
I have Labview 7.1 installed on Windows 2000. When generating block diagrams for codes, the properties dialog box for the daq assistant can only be opened when logged into our system on the profile originally used to install the software or when logged in as administrator. All other properties dialog boxes open under any user profile.
I do not use Windows 2000, but I expect that the folder in which this function is held does not have a 'Full Control' access setting for all users.
See if you can change the folder profile to allow access and full control to all users.
Hope this helps. -

Why can't I open pdfs in Firefox any more? I'm using a Mac with OS10.5
When I open a pdf, I just get a blank window
Hey Musedoc,
Have you looked at the article [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is some troubleshooting content in there as well. You might want to look at the section on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Opening%20PDF%20files%20within%20Firefox?s=opening+PDF&r=0&as=s#w_re-initialize-the-plugins-database reinitializing the plugins database].
Hopefully this helps! -
Why can I only open the ringtone editor once per song?
I thought the free song of the week (Carol of the Bells) had a section that would make a good ringtone. I opened the ringtone editor to see how it worked and whether I could pick out the section I wanted. I then cancelled out of the ringtone editor since I don't even have an iPhone yet and it struck me as premature to actually buy a ringtone I can't use. Now the ringtone symbol is gone from that song. What gives?
A few things:
1. If there are different versions of the song in your library or in iTunes, some are supported for ringtones, and others are not - I know that sounds silly but it's true... it will be available on one album but not another.
2. Sometimes there are glitches with the ringtone icon. They are still, and constantly, rolling out new ringtones. Sometimes the icon comes and goes.
The best, and only, confirmed way to see if a ringtone is available is to right click a song and select "create ringtone". Some songs, even without a bell, will be supported. -
Again I ask why can I not play video using Firefox?
Firefox will not allow me to play any kind of video. It just won't play since I did the last update. I'm not a good computer fixer upper. So I need simple, easy to follow instructions.

Windows 7, when adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and taskbar icons become adobe icons, why
Windows 7 operating system, when Adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and task bar icons have the Adobe icon and will not open, why does this happen?
to answer your questions, i) tried installing both
ii) Tried 9 and 10
iii) Free version of both
iv) No!
I turned off the anti virus but the same thing happened, I'm getting tired of downloading and then having to uninstall Adobe. There must be an answer, something on the computer is not right. I had problems with a CD drive my computer stopped reading it, Replaced the CD burner and it still would not read, took it to be repaired and was a faulty registry which the guy at the shop fixed but the problem with adobe is only since I had the computer fixed last week or is this just a coincidence? -

When i download anything it disappears from the download location as its downloading gets completed? it's a serious problem for me as I am unable to find it anywhere
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Why can I only get the first 7 episodes of the killing series 2 ... I cannot find any more to download on iTunes ???
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure they are available yet. You may have bought a season pass, which means they will download once they are available. -
when I "share a link" (URL) using the pulldown menu in Safari, the email goes to all addresses I indicate, but only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal? Why can I only send to Apple machines?
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
