Whenever I open Reddit, I get the pop up, "Firefox HTML Document (0 bytes)" which asks for my permission to be downloaded. On Cricinfo, I get a similar pop up.

On Reddit, whenever I open any page, I get this popup:

This would also occur on other websites, but these are the two of the websites that I frequent a lot more. The problem is, even if I click on "Do this automatically..." button, all what it eventually does is that all such files gets saved in the default "download" folder which slows my system down. Help?

Hello,
This behavior is not the right behavior - neither of these sites would prompt you to download any files when you visit them. Can you please check if this happens when you open Firefox in safe mode too. Instructions for running Firefox in safe mode are below
Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Getting the title of an HTML document displayed inside a JEDitorPane

Hello everybody,
I am currently working on an HTML help file browser displaying the document inside a JEditorPane. Now I wanna do this: get the current document's title (inside <title>...</title>) and set the title of the JInternalFrame containing the editor pane (MDI - I know) to the document title mentioned.
Setting the JInternalFrame title is not a problem, but when I tried to extract the title of the document, several attempts failed:
String content = hypertextPane.getText();Applying this method gave me the following content:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <p>
    </p>
</body>
</html>Looks somehow meager... :-X
Document currentDoc = hypertextPane.getDocument();The "document" this method returned only consisted of HTML and BIDI ROOT as root elements, and HTML had only one child element: BODY.
And the attempt
docTitle = currentDoc.getProperty(Document.TitleProperty);simply returned NULL. :-(
The editor pane's editor kit is:
new javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit()The default content type is, of course, text/html, and I never display a document which is not HTML with my editor pane.
Can please anybody help me? Thanks a lot!
Regards
Jacek.

getProperty(Document.TitleProperty) does NOT work in
my application. Here is the method I wrote for
extracting the document title:
* Returns the title of the document currently
ntly displayed by the browser
* @return <ul><li>the document's title<tt> -
t> - </tt>if such a title
*                 exists</li>
*             <li><tt>null - </tt>otherwise</li>
*         </ul>
public String getDocumentTitle() {
String content = new String();
String title = new String();
title = (String) ((HTMLDocument)
cument) hypertextPane.getDocument()).
getProperty(Document.TitleProperty);
return (title);
}The HTML pages I display with my browser all do have a
<title>...</title>. However, my method keeps returning
NULL all the time.
I built my browser with JDK 1.3.1 LINUX i586, but I
tested it with both 1.3.1 and 1.4.1. The results are
always the same. :-(
I think the promblem is, that getProperty(Document.TitleProperty) returns null until the document is loaded completly (this happens assynchronly). Add the following code to handle this issue:
        hypertextPane.addPropertyChangeListener( new PropertyChangeListener()
                    public void propertyChange( PropertyChangeEvent e )
                    if( e.getPropertyName().equals( "page" ) )
                        title = hypertextPane.getDocument().getProperty(Document.TitleProperty).toString();
                } );I use it this way

Whenever I open itunes, I lose the touchscreen feature on my Acer R7 laptop. I then must restart the computer to get it back. How do I fix this?

You can try to click the "Restore Defaults" button in the Customize palette.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*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 elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have a user on Adobe Reader X. whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

When i click on a hiper link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this adress, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.

when i click on a hyper-link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.
My question is: how do i get this hyper-link to open?

You have blocking software to change the url to prefix blocked to the url to get '''blockedhttp:''' to prevent you from opening the file. It might be the "Blocksite" extension, but I just typed in something I blocked into the location bar and I didn't see that happen. but that might not be the same as clicking on a link.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances
Maybe it's from the blocked sites list used by Firefox and other browsers maintained at google, or a parental controls application.

Try updating to iTunes 10.4.1 -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

While browsing Firefox, display another htm*file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer and not getting the erro message "Firefox is already running (etc) "

While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.

The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)

Thank you.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?
Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link:
http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc
It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.

That is an indication of an incompatible add-on. I believe that is one of the Zone Alarm add-ons, possibly the Zone Alarm Forcefield.
You will need to contact Zone Alarm to see if they have an update for Firefox 4.

When I try to opn Morilla Firefox I get the following -Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I am running windows 7. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but I still get the message Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

It might be best to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder in case some items are located in the Firefox program folder and those may be use to initialize a new profile.
Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see a name without file extension.
You can see the real file type if you open the Properties via the right-click context menu
You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 22.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Also create a new profile.
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
You can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't. You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.
