Configure firefox sound again peripheral audio default - eccentric behavior windows 8

My machine 64bits Win8 will direct the sound to the default speakers output, but when I try to turn on/off the sound at a different devices, as for example 'headphones' sound turns off. I use the area of notification icons on my PC to select the audio output device that works acceptably in other browsers.

Except that I noticed at least once on a TED talk video was that if the sound/clip was loaded from the URL directly instead of as embedded in a Web page, the native audio device to the operating system selector works fine.

I think that you will need to close and restart Firefox after you change the audio device by default to make Firefox pick up the change. Otherwise it can not work properly, especially when a media (HTML5) drive is used and not a plugin.

  • If Firefox is set as the default browser and any application tries to open a new window, it doesn't work and I get the error "Firefox is already in running... »

    Here's what I'm running:
    Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1, fully updated to 04/10/2012
    New installation of Firefox 11. No add-on enabled following troubleshooting.
    I am a user has administrator rights
    SAMU is disabled.

    For starters, this has happened since Firefox 10 or more. A couple of months now.

    I am able to open Firefox. My modules worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, extension of 4chan) had no problem. Firefox is defined and has been fixed for the past two years as my default browser.

    But since about 10 or so, maybe Firefox before, if I opened a session of Firefox and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running but not responding do not error. »

    I tried to follow the advice of already posted troubleshooting (glance to parent.lock files left [no date], several sessionstore.js [no date] files, create a new user profile, has tried to erase the 'read only' permission in windows 7, but as soon as it is cleared, only read permission back.)

    As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the directory %APPDATA%/Mozilla in its entirety and then used CCleaner to remove all references to Firefox in the windows registry, and then made a complete re - install, without extensions installed right now.

    I checked the preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked. The problem persists without worrying if this option is checked or not. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the new facility.

    Test case:

    All cases:
    Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7

    Case 1: Log in to firefox. Use any other program that is trying to open a link to their Web site in a new window browser or the new browser session. "Firefox is already running" error

    Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox in the taskbar. Select 'open in new window '. "Firefox is already running" error

    Case 3: Open a session of firefox. Select the Firefox Menu > new tab > new window. In fact, a new window opens.

    This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.
    

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).

  • How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open?

    How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open? For example, that I have a tab open and consult the information about this. An email comes in via outlook and I want to read a confined link. When I click on the link, it will open in the tab I have currently open. I would like to open it in a new tab.

    You mean Outlook, the standalone version and not the new iteration of Live (live.com) mail to Outlook.

    I think that the default is to open in a new tab in the last active window, but you can check it out here and replace the default value:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and change it to 3 and OK change

    The options are:

    -1 = apply the setting in Options > general > tabs of external links (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

  • 26 Firefox does not copy my default userchrome.css?

    SUP guys

    I work in a company and I maintain our custom firefox configuration.

    UserChrome.CSS allows us to lock the interface, to prevent people from doing things that they shouldn't.

    I've updated the installation of Firefox 26 files, but now is not to copy my default values more!

    So I extracted the configuration file of firefox from the main download Web site.

    in \core\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js, I reference my lockdown file, which is located in \core\mozilla.js

    in \core\defaults\profile\chrome, I have userChrome.css and userContent.css, both with my customization

    I also \core\override.ini to prevent the profile migration tool to come.

    Now, when I install firefox 26, none of the default values are copied to the new profiles, so none of the configs are locked.

    If I copy them manually, the lock applies. However, it must be copied in the folder "By default", with each new profile. This happens either.

    Any ideas? He used to work well until the new version. Was this feature removed or something?

  • NO sound when recording Audio - problems with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I got in trouble for almost a year now with NO sound when recording Audio with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I just found this forum today. It's really weird how recording with windows and other sound recorder works perfectly since 1998 or so until the upgrade to win 7. Now every time I try to record it shows no found recording device or just fails to record any sound. As you'll see below I have activated What U Hear so I can use the system recording features sounds.

    I use the functions of audio recording and pdf reader because I'm legally blind. It is one of the few tools that I could use with ease on all my systems windows for many years.

    A similar question has started happening with nvidia graphics cards. AND... I was led to believe that it was a problem with Sony wanting more strong piracy measures built into windows. Am I correct to assume that this is what is happening with the sound also today or is there a solution to this frustrating problem?

    I run a dxdiag & posted that, according to me, you asked another user on the forum, the same or similar problem.

    Help solve this problem would be greatly appreciated as this has been a problem for quite a while now.

  • Impossible to make Firefox my default browser in Windows 10.

    I've replaced Firefox Web browser settings in Windows 10. I start Firefox and make it my default browser. When I search websites in Firefox, it does nothing. I tried with Google, Bing, Yahoo - nothing happens. If I go back to Windows 10 settings and change for Microsoft Edge, he surfed immediately with Bing. I've done 100 times and it does the same thing. Very frustrating!

    Said Chris_ilias

    Have you tried other browsers, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer? (See How to open Internet Explorer in Windows 10). If only Microsoft Edge can access the websites, I think that it is not a matter of Firefox and you can get better help on a Windows forum.

    Here's a thread from a forum of 10 Windows on a similar problem (only sites Microsoft consulted Edge, other browsers do not have) which was resolved by resetting your network card by entering netsh winsock reset at the command with administrator privileges prompt and then restart Windows:

    You are welcome and thanks for posting back with the result. I'll mark this as the solution.
