Why is dreamweaver cs6 saving my files as a firefox html document?

Hi, I am using dreamweaver cs6 on win xp sp 3 and it keeps saving my files as a firefox html document and connot figure out how to stop this as i need to get on to my ftp to upload files. It also loaded my site files from dreamweaver cs 5 as a firefox html document. I am running firefox ver 13.0.1. Any Help would be usefeful. I tried google searching and found nothing. And the adobe general help didn't wok either.

Firefox is probably your default web browser which launches anytime you click on an .htm or .html file.
If you want HTML files to launch inside Dreamweaver instead of Firefox, open your file manager (Windows Explorer), and change file associations for .html & .htm files.  When you do this, the icon next to those files will change from FF to DW.

  • Firefox (15) inserts a "Firefox HTML document" in Windows Explorer File New menu. It breaks my works patterns (Alt FWF stops working). Need to disable.

    I often use the shortcut Alt FWF to create new directories on Windows.
    When FF 15 is set as default it alters the File New menu from Windows Explorer.
    It inserts a "Firefox HTML document" item.
    This item seems to sabotage the above key combination. It intercepts the last F.
    In addition I object to the naming which is plain wrong, for me.
    I have deleted the registry key that inserts this thing. Unfortunately it re-appears.
    I want to stop this behaviour.
    How do I kill this. (Other than by making another browser the default.)

    I'm not seeing that on Windows 7 (which I'm sure is no consolation to you).
    Since Folder usually is the top item on the new items menu, can you use
    <br>Alt+f w Enter
    until someone comes up with <s>a better workaround</s> an actual solution?

  • My PDF files are now identified as Firefox HTML documents, how to fix it?(only icons changed, extension is still .pdf)

    After I uninstalled Firefox, all icons returned to usual PDF icons and files were identified as "PDF" files,
    but when I installed Firefox (31.0) again, all PDF files again are identified as "Firefox HTML document".
    Extensions do not change, they are always .pdf, and files automatically open in Adobe Acrobat,
    but icons became "firefox HTML documents" icons and it is very confusing.

    Thanks Robinson3 !
    The most economical solution.
    Not only worked for PDF files but also for other similar problem.
    Of all offered solutions this looks the most bang on.
    Hope, the problem will not return (but even if it returns the solution
    is so fast and simple).
    I did exactly the following (all steps included) :
    Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types > New > PDF>Advanced>
    >Associated File Type, and choose "Adobe PDF reader"

    Hi NACCACHE, when you make Firefox your default browser, Windows will display the document type for certain files (especially .html files) as "Firefox HTML Document". If you switch your default browser to a different browser, such as Internet Explorer, the description will change.
    Are you having a problem with the description appearing with documents that are not normally of the type that display in a web browser?

  • Why is my CS6 Adobe Illustrator file so large?

    I duplicated one of my previously created CS6 Adobe Illustrator files (28 MB) with photos that have clipping masks. Why is my new AI file now 148 MB in size, when all of my newly linked jpeg graphics total only 9 MB? If I save it as a regular pdf it's 148MB, but if I save this same file with the smallest size pdf format, it reduces it down to only 242 KB. No files are embedded either in my newly created AI file. My business associate working on other Illustrator files experiences this same phenomenon sporadically at times too. It has us both baffled.

    But why isn't the pdf embedding the jpegs, and use the file size of the jpegs? Are you telling me that the pdf editing compatibility function is actually converting the jpeg information into a uncompressed format? That's crazy, because all the similar Illustrator files that came before this one, used the same method and similar jpegs in size, and AI file size was negligible (700k to 2 MB size) on those previous files even though pdf compatibility was checked when saving in .ai format.
    What's more, I tried resaving that ai file without pdf compatibility and file size is just as large as before. It made no difference. I also resaved those jpegs in Photoshop with the save for Web option. It still didn't make a difference. However, if I save those as pdfs using the smallest file size rather than [Illustrator default] and editing capatibility it make a big difference-down into the KB size range.

  • Why my Dreamweaver CS6 encodes the URL php on MM_goToURL ?

    I have a problem with dreamweaver CS6 because when I use this function MM_goToURL, my dreamweaver encodes the php var, i don't know why, I have my preference well.. I don't know if it is a bug from dreamweaver. i'm using template form dreaweaver.

  • Why is Dreamweaver CS6 freezing on Lion?

    When I open a file that opened fine in Dreamweaver CS6 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it freezes under OS Lion 10.7.4. It seems to be the links on the page to google web fonts. When I deleted them in another editing software, Dreamweaver opened the page fine.

    Firefox is probably your default web browser which launches anytime you click on an .htm or .html file.
    If you want HTML files to launch inside Dreamweaver instead of Firefox, open your file manager (Windows Explorer), and change file associations for .html & .htm files.  When you do this, the icon next to those files will change from FF to DW.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 and .ctp files

    I've just installed Dreamweaver CS6 and have followed the usual instructions to get CakePHP template files (.ctp) recognised. I'm now getting a strange behaviour: existing .ctp files are working and displayed as PHP (only 'code view' is available), but when I create a new .ctp file it is being classed as plain text. Has anyone else encountered (and hopefully solved) this issue?

    If you followed the correct instructions, then all should be to plan:
    .ctp files will open as PHP files
    Design View will be available

  • Why Wont Dreamweaver CS6 log in to Business Catalyst?

    Hi there,
    I have been trying over and over again to get Dreamweaver CS6 to log in to Business Catalyst but it keeps going in a loop and asking me again for my login details without ever allowing me to import or create a site. I have tried installing the old extension that worked perfectly and it still does not work.
    I have now tried it on my MAC and that works, but I need it to work on my PC specifically.

    We ran into this issue running Dreamweaver CS6 v12.0 Build 5861. The patch detailed in the following blog post seems to have resolved it for us - http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/01/resolution-12-0-3-users-running-into-browserlab -business-catalyst-issues.html

  • Why does Dreamweaver open a "temp" file?

    I recently installed Studio 8, and now when I open an
    existing html file, for example "index.html," Dreamweaver opens it
    and calls it "INDEX~1.HTM". I then have to do a "save as" in order
    to get it back to "index.html" as the filename. Any suggestions???
    THANKS in advance!

    PREFERENCES | Preview in Browser - are temp files enabled?
    This is a good
    thing. And you DEFINITELY don't want to save the previews.
    When you
    preview (with temp files enabled) you do not have to save
    anything.

  • How to config Dreamweaver to open .pt files which are essentially html templates?

    Hi,
    I am a python developer. I want to use my Dreamweaver5.5 to open some .pt page template which are essentially html templates. However, the file can only be edited in the code view. The Split view and Disign view are disabled. Could someone tell me how to configurate Dreamweaver to treat .pt file like .html file?

    Thanks. I am using a mac version. This article shows it's not a easy task:
    http://www.packtpub.com/article/skinners-toolkit-for-plone-3-theming-part2
    In investigating it for this article, it was not possible to open .pt (page template) files using Dreamweaver, which is a deal breaker, as page templates are certainly part of the theming process. It's not known if this is merely a configuration error, but several attempts at configuring Dreamweaver to open .pt files failed.

  • Why is adobe indesign cs6 saving my file in the previous file path rather than current folder path?

    I've just updated to CS6 and when I go to 'save as' Indesign file it opens (auto remembers) the wrong folder/location. Can I make it remember the right folder to save to?

    Are you converting old files (better to do that by exporting theoriginals to .inx/.idml from the original application, by the way)? ID treats conversions as new files, and all file operations on new files default to the last folder where that operation was executed. Once saved, though, it will default to the folder where the file is saved.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 in a File Server

    Hello.
    We've migrated to a new file server and my website local files are in there. Since then, my Dreamweaver crashes or is very slow (i mean, 5 seconds to rename a file). The new file server it's a CFIS. I want to know if there's any issue about the compatibility between DW and these kind of File Servers.
    I posted it on Dreamweaver CC Extensions, becauses it's the more similar topic that i found.
    I hope you can help me.
    Thanks.

  • CS6 saving Tiff file only as .pbm

    I'm saving a tiff image from an Imacon scanner before opening in ACR and modifying it.
    Then, proceeding to Photoshop CS6 for Mac for further modification.  On saving it will only save as .pbm and not .tif.  If I modify the suffix is shows as .tif.
    However, it will then not import into LR4. 
    It will then open in CS5 Photoshop and it also tries to save as a .pbm, but it will easily change to a Tiff suffix and save and then re-open in LR4 as a .tif.
    Confusing.  What's wrong and how can I fix it ?
    Thanks.

    My crystal ball says that you did one of two things:
    You copied plug-ins from your older version of Photoshop to the plug-ins folder of the newer version.
    Or you set the Extra plug-ins folder to point to the plug-ins under the older version of Photoshop.
    You can't mix plug-ins provided by Adobe with the older version of Photoshop up with the newer version.  Weird things will happen, such as what you're seeing here.
    You need to undo whichever thing you did above.
    To get all your old versions of plug-ins into Photoshop CS6 you need to get new installers, or failing that, isolate JUST the 3rd party plug-ins (excluding any Adobe-supplied plug-ins) and copy them to a new folder from which to access them.
