File download opens at the start of Firefox

I just reinstalled Firefox on my Mac. Now everytime I open the program the .dmg file appears on my desktop and the dialog box where I needed to drag the firefox icon in my Applications folder appears. Firefox starts and works fine, but it's embarrassing to have these as two other pop up on my desktop as well. What should I do to get rid of these things?

Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

  • Cannot .jnlp file open when asked to open with the browser web firefox in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

    After the upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox browser 6 download and open from the website interactivebrokers .jnlp file. Usually, I go to the IB website and download the tws.jnlp file that opens in the browser web firefox. But now when I click on open it with the button in the Firefox browser, firefox browser opens a new tab and view the same open the window again.

    Seems that, after the upgrade to 11.10, jnlp files will open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
    If you right-click on the file in the download folder and choose 'Open with', you can start web java manually.
    Bug in Ubuntu...

    You can do a right click any .jnlp file and select 'Properties', go to 'Open with' tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "set as default". Should fix. I don't know what will happen if you have java ubuntu by default instead of the Sun may be that it is not necessary.

  • Poster off-screen at the start of Firefox

    Hello. I'm having a problem with Firefox 8. I've updated just now. At first, everything seemed fine, but only today, when I opened Firefox to browse the Internet, never, it seems, although I heard him running. The window itself disappears whenever I tried to access Firefox, despite always on display in the preview window. In addition, whenever I clicked to open firefox, several windows appear to have opened to the start page of Mozilla. Despite this, none of them will appear on the desktop when enlarged. I tried to access Firefox via the Manager tasks, restart my computer several times, had tried to get Firefox in safe mode and even re-installed and uninstalled Firefox itself three separate times. I also tried to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Alt-space-M and these corrections that I met to try to resolve this problem, of which none has solved this problem Firefox is the main browser I use. It's frustrating for me that I can't access the browser. It seems to work, else the fact that I can't see what I'm trying to access something other than a miniature preview displayed when I hover over the icon on the desktop. Is anyone else having a similar problem, or is that what I'm doing wrong?

    I ran the antivirus scans on my computer, which is only a few months old and this doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. If anyone has any advice, solutions, or just the same problm, entry would be well appreciateed. I'm close to the end of my tether if it continues to be. I thank very you much for any help you may offer. I would be extremely grateful that I can't access my information for troubleshooting this issue due to the above question. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Edit: Starting from 27/11/11, I tried also back to previous versions of this browser to see if that fixed this issue, all to nothing does not. I've uninstalled and reinstalled this browser several times, always with no end to the problem in sight. I decided to leave Firefox uninstalled for now, out of pure frustration with this issue. I really love Firefox, but it is of no use to me if I can't access the content I am trying to see. I hope this problem is solved in the future, because to switch browsers threw me for a bit of a loop. Thanks again for your time and consideration in this matter.

    Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the icon in the taskbar to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see it.

    Open the system menu via Alt + space and see if you can resize the window.
    If it works then close Firefox (file > exit/Quit) to save the setting.

  • I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

    I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

    Kind regards

    How it works is usually the application (explorer.exe is an application) in question is open about everything that monitor his last (final) session was closed the.  Not all applications have this built-in memory, but most do.

    I don't think that even something TO manage multiple monitors (this is what it was built for) will do what you are wanting.  ;-)  I see no way of programming of this type of automation.  ;-)

    I have a mac G5 running Tiger. (I realize I cannot use CS5 with it, but I'm always interested to know if my files would be toast with CS5 or feasible if I had a Mac Intel.)

    Yes, these files will open in the new versions of the same applications.
