Why can't I drag an image or html file into a browser window with Firefox 17

to get a quick view of various images or html files, I like simply dragging the files from my local drive into a Firefox browser window.
since upgrading to FF 17, I can no longer do that. a NO symbol comes up when attempting this. and Dreamweaver will no longer preview with Firefox, even though it's my designated, preferred browser.
anybody know if both of these are some setting or something?

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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

    I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
    When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages:  Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog.  File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
    These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

    Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
    able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
    from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
    problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
    Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
    panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
    computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
    other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
    enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
    their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
    again.

    Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
    and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
    dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the
    S100V)
    In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates
    Then install amera raw 6.7

  • Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form?

    Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form? Text (tab delimited) is not an option. I'm using Acrobat X Pro. Thank you in advance!

    Hello George -- The form was not created by me, but appears to have originated in Acrobat.  I also saved a copy with LiveCycle Designer to view/edit in design view.  Unfortunlately both files had the same limited formats for import.  Thanks, Julie

  • Drag and drop of html-files into Firefox 3.0.1 no longer works after going from XP to Win7

    I use firefox portable 3.0.1 on an external disk.
    Used to have a portable PC with XP SP2, now have a new Windows7 Professional machine.
    On the XP machine I was able to open Firefox from the USB disk and drag&drop html-files into its window to open them. Suddenly on Windows7 this no longer works?? Any ideas/fixes?
    Note: I do have to start the portable Firefox in XP SP2 compatibility mode, after which it seems to work fine (apart from this issue thus far)
    A lot of configuration went in this Firefox portable install, so it would be nice to get this to work with a quick fix instead of having to start from scratch with a newer version.

  • Why can't I stay signed in to Comcast email since my last update with Firefox yesterday (12/20/13) at 7:33 AM but still can with Safari?

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

    Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
    You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
    zzxc: Hello
    zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
    seegal: hello
    seegal: it doesn't copy
    zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
    seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
    Biolizard has joined the conversation.
    zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
    seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
    seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
    zzxc: Which version of OS X?
    seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
    zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
    zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
    seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
    seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
    zzxc: Which version of Excel?
    zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
    seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
    seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
    seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
    zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
    seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
    zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
    seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
    zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
    zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
    seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
    zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
    seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
    zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
    seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

  • Why can't I save an image off the net into the folder of my choice?

    I've used a PC all my life until two days ago when I bought my MacBook. I absolutely love it, but there are a few PC/Mac differences bugging me, and one of them is what I'm asking you all about:
    When I save an image off the internet and the pop-up asks me where to save it, it suggests only a few folders for me and I can't choose the folder I actually want to save the image in. Is there any way to change this? No one else seems to have asked about this on here before, but I hope someone can help me out.

    Ah, it's so simple! Thank you.

  • Why can't I drag and drop folders and files in finder?

    I was sorting out my folders and files when all of a sudden it stopped letting me drag and drop.
    I didn't go on 'Show View Options'.
    I've also checked my trackpad settings and all is as should be.
    Any idea what's up?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    all of a sudden it stopped letting me drag and drop.
    What do you mean by this?  What symptoms are being displayed?  Are you getting an error message when you try to drag and drop?  We need more information to help you diagnose the problem.

  • Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.
