Why is Firefox saving all files in "firefox document" format?

When I try to download a file by 'save target as' the only option I get is to save the file in Firefox Document format ( url.htm ). Why is that happening?!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox just started saving all files as firefox documents, why? how to fix?

It was actually working fine today.. but then it started doing this and it keeps doing this. Everytime I right click a link and hit save as. It ALWAYS saves it as a firefox document, no matter what it is. It can be a pic, an mp3, you name it and it saves it as a document. I tried typing .jpg at the end of files when I saved them and still that didn't do anything..
Please help. It's not doing this in internet explorer... But I don't like that browser lol

Save as project - default to saving all files?

Hi can you make logic default to saving all files when saving as a project or do you have to click copy all everytime you do this? Thanks, Ben

You only have to make your copy/leave/move choices the first time you 'save as project.' After that, it should take care of your choices without further intervention.

Why is there no eprint support for open document formats, such as those produced by openoffice

Why doesn't the eprint service support open document formats? This should be a minimal requirement!

Sorry, as important as this issue is to all of us who use Firefox, this is a Firefox support forum - not an appropriate place to start a discussion like this.
I'm locking this thread for two other reasons though.

I have to use NeoOffice to open my documents of many years of work.
Is there an option to organize a corporate complain to Apple to be heard?

We have been doing nothing but for 10 months.

Preview is saving all files viewed while online

I am having several problems with Preview because it saves every single file I view while online, and while conducting research, this ends up being literally hundred of .pdfs some days. How do I turn off this automatic save function? Is it just a glitch in the system or is their a setting somewhere that can be adjusted? It is also saving the files in a folder which it should not be saving them in, but I cannot figure out to change the default folder for this automatic saving that should not be taking place. I have tried changing my default folder in Preferences for both Firefox and Safari, but it does not seem to have any effect on this automatic saving.
If I can't get this to stop, then I need to make Adobe Acrobat my default viewer. I have tried going into the Preferences of Firefox and Safari, but I still keep getting Preview popping up when I try to view .pdfs.
I am using Firefox verison 2.0.0.14 and Safari 3.1.1
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You don't want to view them in Preview or Acrobat either one, that requires downloading them, but...

Of course you can configure Acrobat 7/8 to view them online if you wish...

Why are iDVD saved project files so large if the media is not archived with it?

I now understand the difference (I think) between a saved project and an archived project, but I would expect my saved project files to be smaller in size. Are there really some hidden media files that it still can access (or that I can find)?

Why cant I see all files on my SD card?

On my old PC I just connected my Nikon camera and transfered my pictures and the deleted on the camera SD card. On my Mac that seems impossible. First of all its not possible to connect(USB) the camera. That is possible to solve by just entering the SD card directly to the Mac. The next issue though is that I cant see all files. When I have deleted the pictures some kind of files are still on the card meaning there isnt a full memory space left. Again, on the PC this is clera but on the Mac I cant see the files. Can somebody help me?

Well, a card always has a very small portion for its own system on it. And, deleting the cards on the computer is not the best idea - it may work for some time, but it is best to format the card in the camera (which erases it). After you drag the pictures to the trash and empty it, what exactly is left on the card? Can you post a screenshot of the remaining file(s) please.

Saving existing files in their native formats

It's really annoying that Numbers insists on saving in its own proprietary format. Is there a way around this and is there a chance that the default behavior would ever be changed?
I've just had my first experience with Numbers since it was pre-installed on my new machine. I was opening a xlsx file a colleage had emailed me. I imagine that for many (business) users who don't create spreadsheets, this is a typical first interaction - opening an existing spreadsheet that somebody else has created. Business users are almost always using Excel or maybe you're opening a CSV because it came from a reporting system.
After making a small tweak to an existing CSV or XLSX file, Numbers prompts you to save in a new format - thus creating another file - or you can delete the new version you made. This isn't very user friendly.
Here's a common case. You might download an address template from a website in XLS or CSV and then fill it in and re-upload it. Workflow is very difficult in Numbers and especially so for a novice user. It's not intuitive to have to go to the export menu to save it in the same format it was already in.
For some background, I run engineering at an ecommerce startup and I've used Excel, OpenOffice and Google Docs for years and typically stick to the latter two these days since they're free. We install OpenOffice on all our Macs to crunch bigger spreadsheets (vs Google Docs) and of course like that it's free.
I realize that the native format has its advantages and Apple also has reasons for wanting to convert to their own format, but in some cases where fidelity isn't affected, saving changes to an existing file just makes a lot more sense.

I was primarily looking for supported way to solve this use case but it sounds like that isn't available out of the box. In that case, no need to spend any more time looking into this. SG, your workaround is pretty admirable and that's a good idea, but it probably doesn't make sense usabillity wise when you could use a text editor if you were advanced enough as you mentioned or just use another program.
Wayne, as you suggested, I submitted feedback from Numbers itself so hopefully that helps the Apple team understand this use case better.
For internal use, it sounds like using another program is the most straight-forward way for this case (for average users). However, since we have a website with tons of Mac users, it's realistic that the default xls or csv handler on their system is Numbers so there won't be a way around that. Of course we can't tell users on our site to download a script to make saving a file any easier (since it would be harder), so I think the best thing is to give users instructions with the steps I outlined even though there are lot of them. It sounds like there's no better way for general users.
Thanks for all your help guys!

Relinking all files in a document...

Hi all,
I'm running InDesign CS6 on Mac (Mountain Lion). I am working off site from my office for a while, so I've copied all the files from our server onto my desktop. All of the filenames, folders are identical to those on the server.
The problem is, when I take an InDesign file, all of the links are broken because it's trying to search the server. Is there an easy way to relink all of the files in my document?
Thanks!

I interpret the OP to say he is recreating a file structure on his home workstation that matches the structure on the server, which may or may not be putting all the links into a single folder and putting that folder inthe same location as the .indd file (and I would have to say that since he's getting missing links that cannot be what is happening).
Packaging would, indeed, stop the missing link warning at home because that is the file structure that gets created inthe package folder. The problem is that the .indd file iin the package no longer has links to the original locations on the server, but to the new copies of the links in the package folder. Moving that file back to the server opens up the possibility that you now have two copies of all the linked assests and if they need to be updated the wrong ones will be modified or relinked at some point. This is a can of worms that I wouldn't want to open. You are quite correct, though, that whatever the OP does, if he relinks the files at home, he's setting up a missing link problem back in the office when he takes the file back.
I think the best course of action is to ignore the link warnings and just edit the text, but I don't know the scope of the work that needs to be done, nor if the files will ever be returned to the office or if they need to be output from home, all of which are important parts of the puzzle.

Hello, how can i modifie in the options, aplications, Adobe acrobat document, open with Adobe acrobat (in Firefox) instead of open with portable document format (default). Thanks

I can'T open pdf links in another page, because in options, aplications i have in Adobe acrobat documents open with portable document format (default) and i must put open with Adobe Acrobat (in firefox) default.
Where can i change the default?
Tnaks

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

Flash Player won't run all files in FireFox

A service related web site I visit recently posted a photo
gallery I sent them. I have been unable to view it using Flash
Player 9 in Mozilla FireFox. I am able to view all the pre-existing
photo galleries. When I right click on the window, I get the
message "movie not loaded". I am able to view the files in IE. This
is really puzzling. The administrator of the web site has tried
reloading my files, but that has had no effect. HELP please.

I am facing a similar problem. Almost all of the flash movies
are not being played by the flashplugin on firefox. A right-click
pops a drop-menu with "Movie not loaded..." and "About Adobe Flash
Player 9" entries. Please do reply if you find a solution to this.
Thanks.

Saving internet files via Firefox

I'm trying to save internet pages, documents, files, etc via a Firefox format; my computer is saving them in Internet Explorer, instead. How do I resolve the problem?

Nope, IE works fine when I do not have Mozilla downloaded on my computer. When I download Firefox, it disables my entire network/internet connection after about an hour of use

When I open a new firefox window, all curernt minimized firefox windows maximise!! Why do they maximize, and how do I stop them maximizing.

'''bold text'''Browser:- Firefox 4.0.1
OS:- Windows XP SP3.
It happens every time I open a new window.
This very annoying, especially when i can have up to ten window active at a time. I group my windows by subject matter, and may have several tabs open in each window.

The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.

I uninstalled firefox, removed all traces of firefox "directories, registry entries" then installed v5 AND I get sqlite3.ddl is missing from your computer. Does firefox use sqlite3.ddl and js3250.dll?

I used v4 with no problems, upgraded to v5 and dll problems began. I installed an older version of firefox and noticed sqlite3.dll was part of the install. Ran the upgrade and the upgrade process removed sqlite3.dll.
I tried saving the sqlite3.dll from the v3 firefox install and placed it in the window/system32 folder. Firefox then reports an invalid entry point into sqlite3.dll and js3250.dll

You can't do that. Such files are for a specific Firefox version.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
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.
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.
