Cannot drag a picture or html Office file in the browser to view it.

Hello

I used to be able to drag / drop an image, text, html, or other file in Firefox to see.

Now, I can't all of a sudden. Simply gray poster "circle-with-a-cross-through-it" as the mouse cursor. Do not open the file.

Using PC, Firefox 30.0. Disable all addons (only three number - AddBlock Plus and a few others, I'm using for years).

This handy feature is missed. Used to make things a lot quicker. Thank you.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file. »

    Separated from this thread.

    I have the same problem when I try to access some of my photos through any method (File Explorer, IE, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.).  When I try to display the image, I get an error message that says "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file."  A few photos in the folder open very well.

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • Opening of the local shared .html file in the browser?

    My WebWorks application creates and saves the test.html file in the shared folder to 'blackberry.io.dir.appDirs.shared.documents.path' successfully. If I try to open this file in the browser of PB, like this

    var filePath = blackberry.io.dir.appDirs.shared.documents.path + "/ test.html ';

    var args = new blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments (filePath);
    BlackBerry.Invoke.Invoke (blackberry.invoke.APP_BROWSER, args);

    can I get an exception with the message: 'undefined '; I guess that the args object is not created. The browser is not started.

    However, if I run the browser PB manually, navigate to the file test.html in the 'file:///accounts/1000/shared/' folder, I can open it.

    What Miss me? Thank you.

    More surprises every day... Apparently, the browser of PB does not file:/// protocol support; He expects a URL that begins with http:// or https://. But I managed to write my own code to open the .html file in the browser of PB. However, it's disappointing to do this kind of "gymnastics" to activate the basic features.

  • Newb: cannot display PDF files in the browser

    I have a new Windows 7 computer and have installed Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 and Reader 9.3.1.

    Whenever I try to 'download' (i.e. display) a PDF file in the browser IE (or Firefox 3.6), I get the following error message:

    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web browser. "

    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  "Quit and try again."

    The error remains the same that either Acrobat or Reader race / is not running before the attempt to download.  My workaround solution is to save the file to disk, and then open it.  It is a pain and should not be necessary.

    Any advice anyone can give me to fix this problem will be received with thanks a lot!

  • Cannot open PDF files in the browser. I tried every fix mentioned and it still does not work!

    I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. All of a sudden, I can't open the PDF files in the browser. I tried all the mentioned patches. Nothing works! Check the configuration of the plugin, checked the settings Adobe Reader.

    Is the problem that Firefox opens a blank tab, or that it requires you to download the file?

    I guess you tried switching spectators between the internal viewer and the Adobe plugin. If this article does not, steps: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Sometimes behind switching will allow to correct an error in the settings file.

    You can rename or delete the settings file that stores these associations and have Firefox regenerate. If the file is corrupt, this could be the only option that works. Here's how:

    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

    Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

    Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)

    Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

    Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can activate the Adobe plugin as described in the above-linked article.

    Hello

    I want to download the virtual computer VMDK file using the browser of the Web-based data store. I know how to do, but there is something I don't understand.

    I have configured my VM with a provisioning. From the VI client, I see that the size of the vm.vmdk is 4 GB.  The size of proviosned is 20 GB.

    Technically speaking, if I download the VMDK file, it should be 4 GB, however, from the browser on the vm - flat hard size Web-based data store is 20 GB... What is the standard behavior? Is there a way to download only the actually used 4 GB?

    Hello.

    This is the expected behavior, and as much as I know there is no work around if you use the browser to store data.

  • Open Local HTML file in the browser to the app?

    Hello

    We have a question, we want to make a link to a local HTML file form in a DPS article, it takes the HTML file to open in the browser in application; We cannot use an overlay of web content for this feature. We are able to do this easily with the content of a source online by creating a link to go to the URL of the Web site in the URL section.

    Is it possible HTML form resources folder and can it be tested in adobe content viewer?

    Or better yet can we easily link to a local folder using the go to URL with a local file path? If so what would it be?

    Thank you

    Dream awake

    Yes, you can open an HTML file in a browser in app by adding the HTML file to the HTMLResources.zip. Create a button with an action to go to the URL that looks like this:

    HTMLResources/HTML_Local/index.html

    Make sure that you create your HTMLResources.zip file correctly and transfer it into the folder. You can test it in Adobe Content Viewer on iPad or on the desktop so that get you a glimpse of the folio (not article or page layout).

    Basically, you use the same technique to post a link to the HTML file that you use to post a link to the PDF files. For more details, see the application of DPS tips > Advanced overlays > linking to PDF files.

    Are these some HTML files that you have saved on your computer?

    Firefox can display HTML files saved locally, but depending on how the pages were saved, some items may be missing. There are also some security restrictions that Firefox applies to files space in a different way than the pages on the web. Yet, it is worth a try.

    Normally, by double-clicking the file will launch it in your default browser. If there are problems with the display, could you describe it in more detail?

    The file is unzipped now... it's a folder art tutorial... and maybe I did the wrong thing by asking my Wordpad for opening the text file. Which is written in HTML. Whenever I click on it, all I get is the raw HTML on a wordpad document. Maybe I should try to download the tarball again? I have another one that is in PDF format, which is not a problem at all! It is with this text file not PDF that gives me headaches...

    [EDIT] Nevermind, I found it! Change of Wordpad is not bad. I right click on this file and of course it shows Firefox as the first option! I don't know how I missed it before. But when I chose that file opened fine in the browser.

    All is well now! Thank you! -rosebud
