Why can't I open a PHP file as a web page in FF7? I could until I upgraded to 7 today.

I am a web designer and test sites on my local machine (3.06GHz 24" iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8). I open and preview all pages before uploading to my server. I have been doing this with Firefox for YEARS.
Today I foolishly "upgraded" to version 7 and now it is impossible to open any page with the .php file type. If I try, I get a dialog box asking if I want to save or open the file. If I select Open and choose Firefox as the default application, it just loops back to the same dialog box.
There has got to be a way around this since I was able to do it before upgrading.

Hi Rob_Jones-
I would recommend reading this Support article, as it troubleshoots issues with opening/downloading files:
[[Managing file types]]
Hope that helps.

  • Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

    Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.
    Jack

    1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
    2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
    free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc.  here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

    Why can't I open any PDF files ?

    I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1.  After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window.  Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window.  What next steps should I take?  Thanks.

  • Why can't I open up xls files?

    Why can't I open up xls files? I'm new with the mac so please help?

    Another possibility... If you have an older version of Excel, and the file you are trying to open is a new version with an .xlsx extenstion, then you need a converter to open it. (Sorry, I don't remember where to get it, because it didn't work for the first year that I tried it before I upgraded to Office 2011 at work.) Weird, since I'm able to open them on my iPhone, but not on my iMac. I've asked friends to save as an older version; some know how to use "save as".
    It can also happen cross-platform. If your file is from someone using a new version on a PC, and you don't have the equivalent version on the Mac, it might not open. On the PC, the extension doesn't show, so they may not know what version it is. But when they pen Excel, it will say as it opens.

  • Why can not I open WinRAR and WinZIP via MS Web Folder?

    Why can not I open WinRAR and WinZIP via MS Web Folder?
    For example, If you attempt to open the zip-file error: "Invalid fileid: <file name> ".

    Hi -
    I am unable to replicate your issue. I am able to open winzip files just fine through MSWebFolders. Your Windows client may have an older version of the Web Folder Client (MSDAIPP.DLL). Can you find that file on computer (should be in common files\system\oledb) and check the version (right click --> properties -->version flag). We support 12.0.6415.1000. There may be issues with older versions of that file (some of those issues are discussed here - http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webfolder-client-list.html).
    Office 2007 SP2 provides the most recent version of MSDAIPP.DLL

    I can't open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 on Elements 7. The files from my old Nikon D70s open but not my D7000... Any Idea why?

    Not sure what your version of PSE is but if it is PSE13 then you may need to update your product by going to

    This ensures you get the latest updates to support all known cameras in the market.
    Old products may not have the latest updates so you need to use DNG converter for which there is a wonderful video that is self explanatory:

  • Why can't i open my raw files in photoshop cc i use a canon 450D

  • Why can't I open my .ai file on a Mac that I made on a Microsoft Windows pc?

    I am using a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 on a Microsoft Windows 7 pc at work and neither my teacher nor myself could open the .ai file on Macs? Was that a fluke or more likely a recurring problem and is there a solution?

    Try saving the PC version as an .eps file with a Preview > 8-bit Macintosh in the Save As dialog box.  It could be the preview format.  Another option would be to Save As > Adobe PDF on the PC and see if you can open that on the Mac.  You may have to open the PDF using Acrobat > Save As > Postscript or even EPS.  Then try opening that using the Mac.  You could also try Preview ( Mac ) > Open > Save As > look for something that will open in Illustrator like PDF.

  • After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

    I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded,  can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
    I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same  message
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    Agein after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred

    Thank you Pat,
    I have already been there done that. I first  Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
    maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
    when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
    Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Sincerely,

  • Why can't i open an adobe file emailed as a zip file

    My bank emailed me an important adobe file as a zip and I keep getting an error message not an adobe format or not encoded properly.  How do I open the zip file?

    Hi ferretlady,
    As you mentioned that you have zip file that contains Adobe files, you need to unzip the file first and then you will be able to open the Adobe files. For information on how to unzip, please refer to the links below:
    For Windows 8 Operating System: Zip and unzip files - Windows Help
    For Windows 7 and Vista Operating System: Compress and uncompress files (zip files) - Windows Help
    For Windows XP: Microsoft Corporation
