Why won't Firefox 12.0 won't open/load .aspx pages?
When I am on ancestry.com and researching various genealogy family members. If I right click an ancestor and do "open in new window," instead of opening in Firefox 12.0 (which is set as my default browser) it opens in IE. If I click on the properties of the item(s) I'm opening to see what they are, they say they are ASPX files. Obviously the URL can be opened in Firefox after it's been opened in IE, but not directly with a right-click from Ancestry.com. Why is that? (Note, you may need to be a ancestry.com member to see the info displayed within this URL.)
If you use the add-on IE Tab or one of its derivatives, can you check whether there is an option that controls this?
If you just left-click or if you Ctrl+click (open in new tab), do those work normally or do those also launch an IE window?
The .aspx extension can be used to delivery ordinary web pages, PDFs, or any other kind of file. Firefox generally looks at the content-type sent by the server. Firefox compares the content-type with the list of application handlers to determine how to open it.
The content-type is invisible in ordinary browsing. You can view it using an add-on, or perhaps more quickly if you use Rex Swain's HTTP viewer tool. After you a logged in to Ancestry, paste the URL into the form on [http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html] and click the bubble for HEAD then click Submit. On the results page, if you scroll down a bit to the "Receiving Header" section, what Content-Type is listed there?
With that information, we may be able to find a problem entry here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications

If I go to a textual forum, only the first two-thirds of each line is displayed, I have to move the slider to see the right hand end of each sentence.
If I go to an image oriented page such as YouTube, the image is loaded so that I see mainly the left most portions of it very large and have to move that blue slider at the bottom of the screen to the right to see the rest of the page.Hello ,
when suddenly one site is very big or very small, resetting the Firefox page zoom can help.
You have two options:
Go to ''View'' > ''Zoom'' > ''Reset'' or press the shortcut Ctrl+0
This should fix it! -

Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.
Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
What are your margin settings?

Hi,
When I ope my mail in gmail. I click on a link to open a new tab and show me what ever it is I've just clicked on....Firefox won't just load the page like it did before I upgraded to this latest version. It says: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. and asks me to allow. I allow.
How can I tell firefox that if I have clicked on a link, I want to view it. That seems intuitive enough. I don't want to allow every time. I do this all day~
Thanks,
MelissaSee:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Safari won't open financial portfolio page
I can't access the financial portfolio. A page comes up saying Safari can't open this page. I have followed their help to steps with no result.
So if multiple browsers won't open the same page, is it necessarily a browser issue? I think the website's end is where the problem would be.

Why won't Flash load in Safari
Using the Last OSX version, the latest Safari version, but I can not get Flash to play in
Safari. I can see it in the Internet-Plugiins folder and it says it is loaded, if I try and install
I get an uninstall window. When I search Safari for Plugins I get a blank page. Any help would
be appreciated. Also plays in Firefox no problem...
Thank youIf you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -
I've downloaded the CR8.7 update - why won't PSE load it?
PSE is showing CR7.4 as the version it's using. Why won't it update?
To use ACR 8.7 you’ll need PSE13 and would need to wait until the ACR 8.7 Final is released because the RC is only ever for Photoshop, not Elements.
However, you can edit new camera files by downloading the DNG Converter 8.7 RC from the same place and using it to convert your raw files to DNGs then those DNGs will open in an older PSE/ACR combo.
