When making firefox default browser, some print commands in Microsoft programs/games no longer work. example: printing a NAVLOG in Flight Simulator FSX. i have been able to reproduce this error at will. win7 IE9

basically this is it. In FSX when creating a flightplan there is a print button where you can print (on the PC default printer) the flight plan. (NAVLOG) When Firefox current version is the default browser, this print button simply does not work. Making IE9 (32 bit) the default browser, this print button works again. No doubt this will occur in other applications also but I have only encountered this in FSX sofar.
I run win7 64 bit but use the 32 bit browser. All patches are up to date. to be clear, this isnt limited to FSX. It affects all Microsoft programs that call the print command in win7. Clearly FF isnt fit for purpose if I cant make it reliably the default browser. anyone else come across this ?

Sorry if this comes to late, I just now came across this thread.  I have rtorrent and rutorrent sunning successfully on my x64 Arch Linux install.
Try putting the "SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000" line in your httpd.conf file right after the LoadModule lines (it's line 124 for me).
I seem to recall it not working when I put it at the end of the file.
Best of Luck!

  • Safari locks up when making it default browser

    If I try to make Safari my default browser by going through the setting in Safari it always locks up Safari. I'm then forced to do a force quit on Safari to relaunch it. Anybody have any idea why this would happen? Firefox has gotten strange on me lately, so I want to make Safari my default one until I can figure out what's up with Firefox.

    Hi Barry,
    Sorry for the delay in saying thanks for the help. I ended up rebuilding the launch services database that cured that problem and another one I had. I do really appreciate your help.
    Many thanks again,
    Mike

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

    Hi,
    we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser.<br />
    Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
    HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location.<br />
    HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location.<br />
    HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
    so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox.<br />
    However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
    the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox<br />
    i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

    Just in case, check this article for the missing information

  • Can't open URLs in outlook 2010 email. Works OK when IE is default browser. URL opens properly when I paste it into FF.

    Running Win 7, Outlook 2010 and FF 3.6.15. I used to have no problem clicking URLs in Outlook messages, but now, when FF is default browser, I get message: "General Failure. The url was: "http://.....". An error occurred sending the command to the application." Link opens OK if I copy url to FF. Also works when IE is default browser.

    Every single time that I have to do an update on Firefox I then have to go back into the regedit and follow the directions again in order to prevent this error. The issue should be corrected by Mozilla on their next update. To be honest, it is kind of annoying!! This has been an issue for several months, and I am tired of having to fix their mistakes!''' MOZILLA!!! PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!!!'''
    I HAVE ATTACHED A SCREEN SHOT OF THE ERROR THAT I AM GETTING.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.
    Good Luck

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • Cannot access yahoo email account when I have been able for 6 years.

    I am unable to log into my yahoo email account on my Mac OS X. This is very sudden. I have been able to for 6 years. I CAN access on a PC. I have never had this problem. I have never set up the mail program on Mac OS X.

    No, it will not affect anything but Safari. I do this regularly anyway (in my case with Firefox because I prefer it over Safari). The cache remembers websites you've visited and, when internet connections were slow, then that was handy because the browser would reload the page from memory instead of reloading it fresh. With faster internet connections today, it is no longer of the same importance - it does speed up things a bit initially, but I haven't noticed any difference. Cookies are set by every site you visit - the only ones you might want to keep are cookies from your bank, financial institution, etc so they remember your machine when you log in. Other than that, they are a marketing tool and completely superfluous. And history is again something the computer remembers that you've visited a site before.

    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!
