Why doesn't firefox 8 or 9 open e-mail imbedded (zip) pictures in Yahoo like IE8 does?

I use Yahoo mail in both IE8 and Firefox 8 (now 9). Many times the imbedded pictures in email are not shown except as an attachment which must be downloaded and opened by an ancillary program (don't know which one IE8 uses). IE8 will open the file and place the pic within the text.
Firefox ask me which program to use and I haven't got a clue.
There is also a "slideshow" prompt next to the attachment which presents a orange bordered black screen. It goes through the pictures by count but nothing is ever seen. This is probably some Yahoo program. I've only seen it in the last two months.
I know for certain that some of this mail comes from a Win7 computer using Gmail.
I'm not crazy about Yahoo but I've been using it for years, because it's free, with intermingled calendars with Google's Gmail which is linked to my smart phone.
I prefer Incredimail (also free) as my e-mail processor (thru Gmail). It has some great stuff and displays everything that comes in exactly where it is suppose to be. Can't intermix with Yahoo unless one is a paying subscriber.
IF YOU'VE SOMETHING THAT CAN DO IT ALL; I'D BE INTERESTED.

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Why doesn't Firefox allow me to open a link from an email. I'm sure it used to.

An email from superbreak comes in with two links in blue to their offers. Clicking on them has no effect. This is an example; other received emails exhibit the same problem. Is it the latest Firefox version? Very frustrating.

It works now but I had to set Preferences from IE.

Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files. 
So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution, 
If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

Why doesn't Firefox see that I have Flash loaded on my computer?

I have Flash 10.1.102.64 loaded on my computer and I can watch youtube videos on Windows IE. I just loaded Firefox 3.0.5 and when I try to watch a youtube video, it tells me I need to install Flash. Why doesn't it see Flash? Do I need to do something first?

Why doesn't Personal.xlsb start when opening a different SS

I have my personal.xlsb installed in the following folder;
C:\Users\Toni Chaffin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
Why when I open a already completed WorkBook, say stats.xlsm why doesn't my personal workbook open so I can run macros that I have saved in there
Thanks
Toni Chaffin aka Talisa

I am experiencing the same exact issue. Running Office 2010 and whenever I open an xlsm file by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer, it opens in Excel but the macros do not open. If I open the VBA editor, only the current document is shown in there
and not the macros.
Opening Excel first and then dragging the spreadsheet file from Windows Explorer into Excel does work, and while the answers here are workarounds, they are far from solutions and are a very cumbersome workaround when dealing with multiple files.
Can anyone help with a proper solution to the issue? I've tried adding my XLSTART folder to the "At startup, open all files in:" setting in the Advanced options menu, and that has done nothing.
Thanks,
Mike

Why doesn't Firefox have an ADM/ADMX GPO file?

I've been using Firefox for years, and it's always been my favorite browser. But working in our environment we push Firefox to our users, but we have no control of the software. Things we want to do are; allow pop-ups, disable auto-update, enable certain plug-ins and a few other settings we want configured.
Why is this never tackled by the Firefox development group? I've seen 3rd party ADM\ADMX but they only last for a version and won't work again.
Why won't Firefox do this for the business users? It's been brought up time and again.

Why doesn't Firefox 4.0 work AT ALL on my fully updated Windows XP system?

I downloaded FF 4.0 and it does not work AT ALL. None -as in zero- of the functionality appears, ''other than'' (1) an improperly formatted "save password" request button; (2) When I deselect "menu" in "View," I only get a gray "Firefox" button in the upper left corner, which when clicked gives a totally unformatted menu; (3) When I click on "Help" and then "About Firefox" the popup is improperly formatted with words and pictures/graphics overlying each other such that you cannot read the words.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled and came up with the same problems.
I can't believe FF put this out at this time. Please help. Thanks.

A couple of troubleshooting options to try:
You may have an incompatible add-on causing problems, for details of how to troubleshoot this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can also try creating a new profile (location where user data is stored) , this can help to determine if something in your current profile is causing problems. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
If the new profile works, you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. It is best to re-install any add-ons. For details of the files to copy see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

Why doesn't the location information in an iCal meeting show up on my iPhone, when it does show up in iCal?

Why doesn't the location information show up on my iPhone 4S calendar when I accept an invitation to a meeting?
The other information such as the date, time and invitees all show up on the iPhone, while in iCal all the information including the Location field is showing up.

If it won't charge you probably need to try a different dock to usb cable. More information on troubshooting this is available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

I cannot open any emails in my Yahoo email (IE8 does) - why?

First of all, I can open my Yahoo emails on my laptop which uses Firefox, and on my Kindle. But on my PC they just will not open with Firefox! They do open on my PC with IE8. I was using version 28.0 but reinstalled Firefox 28.0 to no avail. Any ideas for me? I do not want to switch to IE as my default browser!

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.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?

I want a new tab ope for each app. I am using so I can just click on the tab, and continue to work on that app. I "Don't" want to use the "History" and then wait for it to "Reload" that tab!! I want my tabs all open until I close them. Also, why isn't there an"X" in the current tba to be able to close it??

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link. 
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab. 
For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu. 
Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
Some extensions that you can look at:
* Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/62581
* Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
* Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

Why doesn't firefox open youtube videos, istead whole server get jam.

Only way to get out is stop process. When open videos sound and music is playing, but video stops after 0-2 second. Then firefox is jammed, nothing works.

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container in the firewall.
