File not found annoyance.
Whenever I try to open something like saying Firefox I get a "the window cannot open this file" and then it gives you the ability to search the Web and select a program. I select the program and it will open, but the next time I want to open it I'll have to do it again. Not all programs are open although, even after I select them it little much just stop.

Error file not found in Temp. Firefox does not start
When I try to start Firefox (Windows 8.1 desktop computer) I get a full white screen with only the following error message:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at / c; /Users/ username/AppData/Local/Temp/name of file (more than fifty characters long, all the numbers and letters without anything that looks like a real word and ends in /BGAW05 .htm).It of only a button to Try Again that never works and some directions to verify the name of the error file, or check if the file has been moved, renamed or deleted. I check to see if the file is no where on C: and it doesn't. It is there no file in Temp even remotely close to that name. I run Firefox with several tabs that are registered and come back when I restart Firefox. So maybe this file in Temp was associated with a deleted tab.
As I said, this error message comes up full screen, covering the taskbar and not reduce it, restore, close buttons, as if I was running in mode Metro, I never do and will never do.
Because of this error I can not even start Firefox now, so I had to become a user of Internet Explorer.
How can I get Firefox to stop looking for this file?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I found a solution to my problem. Looking in my info on solving computer problems, I noticed that some problems can be resolved by the administrator. I tried with Firefox and it worked. The only damage was that I lost the current tabs. But Firefox seems to work fine otherwise.

How to set a file not found page on my page?

for example. Google 'bc spca', choose www.spca.bc.ca and go. Firefox gives me this...
File not found
Sorry, the page you requested was not found. Please try again.Original URI: /assets/tab_advocate_mo.jpg
But if I hit the arrow to the left, it shows me the page I searched for a fraction of a second, then goes back to the file not found again. This does not happen with Chrome or Internet Explorer. They go to the appropriate page.
I am running windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. NO GO. Help, please.
Generally if an image on a page can not be found, Firefox does not redirect the entire page with an error message. the area of the image is just left in white. If this is not normal.
On the error page, what do you see in the address bar, if anything?
To check if one of your extensions could be the culprit, could test some pages from Firefox Safe Mode problem? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).
Any difference?

When I got Firefox > on Firefox, it tells me I have 16.0.2
However he also told me that I am up to date.
Based on a quick search, it seems that you are on twenty something!
I tried to download a new one (for mac, British English), but it says "file not found".Don't know what to do.
The current versions of Firefox requires OS X 10.6 or later, so if you want to continue using Firefox beyond Firefox 16, you must upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 or later version.
Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with OS OS X 10.5.

I can't access some websites using Firefox. Pages say "File not found" or in the case of Yahoo and Facebook, they resemble the on-screen text files. No problems with my computer and it is not the case with my browsers IE and Chrome. Already deleted and reinstalled Firefox and it has not solved the problem
You can also do a check of malware with some digitization programs of malicious software on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Why magnets of all return sites suddenly message "file not found".
I use Firefox 26.0 on Windows 7. Until yesterday, by clicking on an icon of the magnet has triggered a response by utorrent. Today, December 25, 2013, doing the same thing in the same way on any magnet on any site icon gives the message "file not found" instead of doing what he did before. No changes to Firefox. Use of IE, get the desired result, so it seems not to be a problem of utorrent. What do you recommend?

My iPod Classic is not synchronized. error message says file not found
I've never had a problem syncing my iPod classic. Yesterday I bought a song at the iTunes Store, and afterwards, when I synced my iPod he removed my entire contents except the song that I just bought. Error message says cannot be synchronized because file not found. What should I do?
First of all, quit iTunes and restart. Then re-sync your iPod?
If the problem persists, try disconnecting in iTunes, so that you are no longer connected to your Apple ID. Your library iTunes music shows still all of your songs?

Said file not found when I try to open my mail yahoo or other sites
page says file not found: the path that you are trying to access is invalid or inaccessible - verify the path. This happens when I want to open mail from yahoo, msn or any other site.
Sometimes the site page will be displayed in the address bar but the page is empty and have to "Refresh" page.
I don't like the new Firefox, can I go back to the previous?
Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "tools > Options" If the menu bar is hidden.
