files Acrobat tries to open my default excel, how can I stop acrobat to be the default?
When I click on an excel file, acrobat tries to open it and says he can't.
Somehow my system defined default acrobat for xlsx files and I can't seem to change it.
Help, please
Hello
In windows 10:
Go to system
then settings
then the default applications
then scroll down and select "choose default applications by file type.
then scroll down to the file xlsx extension and make sure that it is set to EXCEL.
Mine was not, somehow upgraded to acrobat.
Then I changed it back and to EXCEL and it's fixed!

I just installed Office 2007 on my computer and downloaded some documents on the internet. When I try to open Firefox becomes crazy and opens the tabs of the browser faster that I can close them, with no sign of stopping. How can I stop what is happening and have access to the downloads? Any help much appreciated!
OK, solved. It's not Firefox, it's Windows. Somehow, it had been changed to open Word documents as browsers. I had my suspicions that it wasn't Firefox as Word documents to open in form of tabs in the browser even if Firefox is not running. The only way to open a Word doc was if it was already on the hard drive.
For someone who has a similar problem, it's how to correct:
Open my computer.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the File Types tab.
In the registered file types list, click the file that you are trying to open. In my case, it was the doc files. In the list this type of file has been shown by a Firefox icon, indicating that what was used to open the file.
Under the list of registered file types scroll details for each file type are displayed, with an option for "opens with:
Click Edit to the right of the present and choose the program to use in the future. Click OK and close the dialog box file types. This should solve the problem. -

and then I sell my files wmv on CD/dvd-if I do this do I have to pay Microsoft a fee/charge?
I created a powerpoint document and converted a video (wmv file)How can I stop people copying my (video) wmv file?No, you do not have to pay taxes or royalties to Microsoft for what you do... If it's just to play back on a computer using Windows Media Player or other software.
You can't stop people from copying your videos... There is a software that can rip the copies of it while playing on a computer, and my camcorder can get a copy while on a tripod, aimed at a computer screen.

We have a third party application that requires three manuscripts of java to exist in Javascript directory in c:\Program DC\Reader of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Scripts are provided by the seller and at no time never change us them. The problem now is that since the update to Acrobat Reader DC java scripts run automatically whenever Acrobat Reader opens. It doesn't matter if it's a PDF file which opens the player or if you open the drive by itself before opening a PDF file. It is used for java scripts run only when the third-party application called what he calls a sympdf file. Once the pdf file has been loaded scripts would go and a toolbar will appear with several options on this subject. This toolbar now appears each time we open Acrobat reader. How can I keep Acrobat Reader automatically executing the script without removing the script from the Javascripts directory?
Thank you
Javier
All scripts in this case are automatically loaded the application whenever you open.
From what you describe, it looks like a bug in the scripts themselves. You must report it to the company, you've got to go.
To disable them, you can delete or rename or disable JS entirely under Edit - Preferences - JavaScript (but which would have an impact on other things and is not recommended).

It does not matter what or where the .pdf's, is not the result of a particular Web site, it's rather a flaw in Firefox. He just started last week.
Hi Critifur, what a model PDF (FDF file)? PDF templates sometimes needs to load or reload a PDF file. In a past thread, it has been discovered to cause a 'loop' when your PDF Manager is set to "Preview in Firefox". However, this should not affect most of the PDF files. If you need to open a FDF, you must modify to use Adobe Reader (this would be the application outside of Firefox) for the most compatible parameter.

New tabs keep open asking me to update my video player
If the new tabs are relentless, you may need to restart Firefox Safe mode to get little peace. 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?

Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?
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. -
I have activate acrobat, but it happens always next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I can down down I would allow me every time but one time, next time, I want to use, see, or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. It's very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than have me ask but it does not solve the problem either.
Hello moxiet, please go to the firefox menu > addons > plugins where you can set general preferences for individual plugins (always ask or always activate).

How can I stop my acrobat pro to go immediately to print menu when I open a pdf file
How can I stop my acrobat pro to go immediately to print menu when I open a pdf file
This usually happens because there is a script embedded in the file, it does.
If you have Acrobat, you can remove this script (if the file is not secure), by going to tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and look there.
He could do other things, although... The line of code, you should look for is something like this:
This.Print ();
Delete it or modify it like this to turn it off:
This.Print ();
Save the file and reopen only and it should not happen more.

I have used Muse on a 30 trial and created a site and added my own domain name and it is now online. I now want to muse and edit and add a few things, but I don't know how to do it? I open the software, go file and tried to open the site, but there is nothing there?
Please provide a screenshot of the design view after opening the file, also the url of the site online.
In case the trial is expired, you need to upgrade your membership/registration.
Thank you
