Cannot open attachments in firefox. OK in IE and iPhone and outlook
When using firefox for the email, I'm now unable to open attachments. Happened over the last week, before that, it was fine and I have not changed any settings (that I know).
I tried all the usual stuff of restart and looked at the settings as much as possible, but nothing jumps.
Email attachments even open fine in outlook, since my iphone and in IE, but I prefer the firefox because I used to use it for so long now. In addition, old attachments that I opened in the past won't open.
Never had any problems before with opening of attachments. All programs are affected - word, excel, pdf, etc.
Thanks - Jacki
Hello
The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.
- Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.
To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:
- Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
- Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
- Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer
Original title: can not open files
I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer. I get no errors, but nothing happens when I click on one of them.
Hello
Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the problem before you receive your advice to defragment my hard drive. I had the problem on / off power for about six months and defragmentation has not always been successful success so when it happens then I will go through the procedures that you have listed. I have installed and uninstalled various applications in the last six months and suspect that the register is not in optimum condition... I have a problem during a shutdown or reboot stop where I get an error of tfswctrl.exe I close and the system then hangs and requires a medical examination. Is there, by chance, a Microsoft utility that cleans up the registry for applications that have been uninstalled, but be persistent pieces that shouldn't be there?
Thanks again for your advice.

Cannot open my download because lack of archives and unregistered in the same folder. What I am doing wrong?
You can extract in your download folder, but you should create a new folder, copy the exe and 7z into this folder, and then double-click the exe file. Leave it to extract the files in the folder that you created.

Hello jrhjmh, you are a user of yahoo mail and it works when you go to yahoo mail via this link? : https://mail.yahoo.com/
Reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042
I don't know as to what exactly is happening, but it seems that yahoo has changed something on their side makes some old dysfunctional urls/servers (you can now use those because you have them bookmarked before or through your story)-at a number of other users have reported that...
so using the generic address https://mail.yahoo.com/ as a bookmark must lead you to the current url & work. -

Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox
My wife machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking on a link to a .pdf file will open a new tab which will close immediately, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click and then save money, download the file and open it in Adobe Acrobat X. But this is not what I want, and not the way it was designed.
Internet Explorer 11 open .pdfs in the environment described above, in the browser, with no problems.
I followed all instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Instructions for Mozilla or Adobe can get operational.
As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine and re-installed Firefox and rebooted the machine. Attempt for opening yields .pdf to the same result, even after uninstalling and reinstalling everything. What happens here? Why Firefox opens a blank tab and then close it immediately? Block jump - rises is set to off, and blocking the windows blocker disabled.
My own computer that is running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in browser very well, without any problems.
Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out! Thanks for your time.

Hey,.
Try the following:
- Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
- Under the applications Panel.
- Find Portable Document Format (PDF) from the list and click on it to select it.
- Click the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select the name of use (in Firefox) PDF reader or preview in firefox.

and select troubleshooting information. The troubleshooting information tab will open.
In the section the Application databases, click view folder. It will open a window with your profile files.
Click the menu button

cannot open attachments in hotmail
Last week I found that I couldn't open attachments in my Hotmail account using Firefox v 3.6.25. I used this version for quite some time and it is a new problem. I have upgraded my Norton 360 v 5.1.0.29. I contacted Norton and they were unable to help me. There is NO problem of access to these attachments when I switch to Chrome or Internet Explorer. Any ideas why Firefox has hesitated to this? I cleared my cache and cookies. No help!
Thank you

Cannot open attachments in Windows Mail
Can not open attachments [such as wmv.] in Windows Mail
Unless I first save the attachment and then open it from the location of the saved file. After that attachments can be opened in WM until the next time I start the PC. Then I do the routine save - open again.
Help, please
Thank youTry this, instead of open Windows Mail on the part of the shortcuts to quick launch or desktop, or in the Start Menu, start it from "start |" All programs | Windows Mail' and see if your attachments open. There is a recurring problem between Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Mail that causes this and many people have been able to resolve the question drinking from Windows Mail in this way. These discussions have a lot more information:
Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments
Microsoft Word attachments to e-mail
Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG...HAL

Cannot open attachments in Microsoft Works
Recipients cannot open my attachments when I send them with Microsoft works.
I have sent the same email to myself, and it does not allow me to open them.
Attachments are always a wps not doc files files. How can I change that. Please be specific.In the case where it is not heard, I wanted to tell you NOT to save MS Works in wps. Save them to the doc format.
You said "I have sent using Microsoft Works". This must mean that you have MS Works.
So do not save it as WPS.t-4-2

Smartphones blackBerry "BOLD": cannot open attachments to emails or send emails
I have the "BOLD" and it works very well for a month. Then, I got my Peral (an old that I dropped in the snow) to finally turn it back on and used the Fund Manager to transfer my contacts and settings of my "BOLD". Once I did that I can no longer use my "BOLD" to send emails or open attachments to emails. I get e-mails very well however. When I try to open the attachments I get the message "cannot perform more demand. Service book information not found ".
First of all, what is the book of service? because I saw another post saying try to reset but I don't know how I could go about this.
Secondly, any ideas on what I could do to make it work again? Is there a system restore? Or restore default settings to get rid of the changes I made when you use Desktop Manager to update my settings?
Thanks for any help!
Hello
On the Blackberry will first of all for advanced options options-host routing tables-press menu key and select Register now.
You will receive an activation message. You are now properly registered with the network.
The next thing is to send service directories. A service book contains information that configures the interaction between smartphone BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Infrastructure. It also allows specific services for your BlackBerry device.
In the Blackberry, use the email Setup icon and log in with your username and password and send service directories.
The attached link has pictures to show you how. You will receive an activation e-mail for each account that you have configured on your device.
You should now be able to send and receive emails and open attachments. Test it to make sure it works.
If you find that you can send and receive but not to open attachments, the second link will show you how to reset
your Blackberry attachment service.
Thank you

Cannot open attachments in my Inbox
Why I can't open attachments in my inbox, accept unknown senders, use the up or down arrows to read emails. I continue to have returned to the home page?
The forum is to post your comments on the web site of Microsoft Answers, only not to ask questions e-mail.
Since you don't mention which e-mail service you use, or you mention what application you use to access this service (although I suspect it is a web browser based on your mention of 'home page'), I am at a loss to suggest the ideal forum for your post.
If you are using Hotmail as your e-mail service, then ask in the center of Windows Live Hotmail Portalsolutions. If, however, you think that the problem is related to your web browser and you are using Internet Explorer, these forums can be found starting here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie. Be sure to choose the forum specific to your version of Internet Explorer. If you see error messages when you do whatever it is you do, please include the full text of this error in your new post.
