Desktop shortcuts won't open firefox after an update of the player software "shockwave."

I can go to my email and click on the links to web pages open firefox, but not the office shortcuts. This happened after being invited to install this software while trying to watch a video on facebook.

The URL bar is also known under the name of the address bar and the address bar, and Firefox he calls the "Awesome Bar" when combined with the search bar.

None of this is complicated - you enter the address of the site you want to visit, for example, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/in the URL bar. Firefox actually fills the http or www for you. If you want to know what URL, you enter "URL" for Google or similar search bar to search for this term.

If a right click > open does not work on the desktop shortcuts, you need more expert help.

  • Xperia Z3 Compact dead after reboot (update of the marshmallow)

    If after updating my Z3 Compact 6.0 android, I restarted my phone manually to try to refresh my data to media. However the phone just turned off and does not turn around. Attempts to try to restart the phone were unnecessary. I tried to connect to a PC, but my PC would be unrecognized device such that it could have been corrupted. Someone has encountered this problem after updating to the new software? Thank you!

    I tried this but did not work. However surprisingly I fixed it by leaving just the battery take by itself (may take a day or two), then load through an ankle and everything was fine. No data is lost. I tested it on twice and it works for my phone. But of course if I restart my phone now it will always dead temporarily. Could be a software problem.

  • The portfolio opens with a blank Page in the player

    I've created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 pro Extended, but the reader opens the wallet with a blank (white). It started to happen with the last update of the player about 2 weeks ago.

    It seems that the purpose of layout on the portfolio is set on a cover sheet, that I did not. I have to manually set the focus at disposal, then I can see the pages in the portfolio. What is the cause? Anyone know? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

  • Is it possible to close Firefox after have closed all the windows (and also to open a new window when starting another process of Firefox)?

    Yes, Yes, I know, it's not good to keep open applications when they are not designed to be. I'm sure Firefox has some memory leaks and this does more harm than good, but...
    My computer is not the biggest out there, and to increase the ease of use of my Firefox browser, it would be nice to keep the firefox.exe process opened, even after you close all windows. I know that Firefox is not totally close if there is at least a Firefox-related window opens, but having to open popup window X seems a little extreme to achieve this effect.
    In addition, to allow another window to open, it would be cool for guests 'OH No. FIREFOX IS STILL OPEN' should be replaced by just trying to open a new window, if this feature is enabled.
    So, if it exists, is there a variable config for it, and if it does not exist, it is possible to somehow? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty if it comes to him; I really want to get what's going on.
    I am running Windows 7 family, if it's important. (I would rather run a different OS, but this is neither the time nor the place...)

    This addon should close all tabs and open a blank tab and stay in the tray like this. or at least have an option like that. So what I have and what you want is met.

    Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 desktop shortcut does not open

    Het all. I just replaced my old HP 4180 with a new Officejet Pro 8600. We have three computer that connects to it, and the shortcut on the desktop to open the software of the printer communication does not work only on your laptop. I used the installation of itentical on all computers. The Office has the full package software and two laptops have only the basic print and scan package installed. I checked the target of the shortcut on two laptops, and they are identical. I also tried to disable the antivirus and firewall software, but that made no difference - still unable to open the software to set the printer preferences, etc.

    The laptop in qiestion is an EeePC H1000 running XP 32 bit, SP3. BTW, the laptop that has no problem is an identical unit.

    When I select the shortcut, the hourglass appears for a few seconds, the wireless icon flashes as it appears that the software is attemptong to connect to the printer, but the window indicating that it is retriving the device information will never appear and therefore also the printer wizard window also never appears.

    There's no problem with printing. Just get the Printer Wizard to open. Also for the record, if I select the printer in the Control Panel printer and faxes section, can I get the printer properties and preferences windows and make changes, but no way to get the companion window.

    I tried to reinstall the HP software without change. I also tried a "repair" and also no change.

    Any thoughts appreciated as to what else to look for that may be causing my problem.

    Finally, find my own solution. I followed the instructions in the Support Document HP c03640384 HP Printer Wizard opens with an error in Script or in Notepad.

    Even if it wasn't exactly my problem - I was just getting no response at all, - using the patch of registry (for my WinXP) of this document got my desktop shortcut does not work to open the Print Wizard.

    Hello

    What have you tried so far?

    Can you try reinstalling Firefox? Uninstall it from your control panel > programs and features/add / remove programs (if you want to keep your bookmarks and other information, not deletion of personal information). After uninstallation, delete the Mozilla Firefox folder to remove the remnants of files damaged uninstallation (your profile is in a different location, so will not be affected by the present):

    • (installation of 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    • (installation of 64-bit) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

    Download and reinstall the latest version:

  • Everytime I open Firefox it recharges updates on Youtube HD, Ghostery, and al.

    When you open the latest Firefox browser updates for Ghostery, Youtube HD, Youtube Downloader, etc load in my browser. I went through each of them, set them when necessary, finished downloading, etc. After that I closed the browser when my work is done and then open it again the next time the same programs load again upward. I have re downloaded latest Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

    Try a clean reinstall and download a new copy of Firefox since http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.

    It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

  • When I try to open firefox, and other things appear the next tex said thatt was not able to load XPCOM

    Loïc Macarena SilviaFigueroa,

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

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    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 make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.
